#Pain we can never #Lose >> #RealTalk #RealLife > #TrueWords
Pain we can never lose,
I thought over the years I had recognized the true meaning of pain, Yes, I have felt the pain beyond pain when it comes to relationships, family's, bully's, Abuse, Homelessness... I could go on, but my words are expressed in my writing, there my memories of all the dark times and great times stay, giving the reader enjoyment from a story that's part of my past that stayed a memory so clear to this day.
I thought I was dealt the entire pain card deck, I thought life couldn't make me feel the emotions that I am feeling to this day! They say that when you lose a very close member of your family, time is meant to heal, and sure enough it does, but the pain will always remain there in the back of your mind wanting to jump out at you, anything you hear reminds you of a time that was, you feel your stomach turning, your heart beating faster, and then the tears start to run down your face with flashbacks that can't be replaced, just memories that float around your mind instead of in space.
No matter how you look at lie, there is always going to be pain, there's always going to be sadness and happiness, things you cant control that are out of our hands, there's always going to be problems in life, sometimes it can feel life you're being tested, moved around like a pawn by the man in the sky, something we will never know till the day we die, if that's just a myth or someones alibi?
Life is precious and a gift, make the most of it and live, pain we can never lose, but turn that pain into something we can all use, words of wisdom and truth is always the way forward, don't let the dark clouds ruin your life, love the memories that we call life, be true and love just as much as we can, being bitter and hateful you're talking to the wrong man, I just tell the truth the best I can, that to me, makes me a better man...

In loving memory of, Hilda Swarbrick, who sadly passed away 29/4/2015
On Friday 29/4/2015 at 9pm, it saddens me to say that my nan, Hilda Swarbick, past away.My nan was 91 years of age, a very independent woman with a heart of gold. I go on about my Grandparents a lot in my life, and I've written about them both in my books.
US http://t.co/RHgnuSYTOj UK http://t.co/fnrBILkCp3... http://t.co/G1eu5HPbOc http://t.co/KlOWXA9A3o
Anyone who has read my books or even met my grandparents will say the same as I do! They were remarkable kind, loving, respectable people, that never had a bad word to say about anyone, but if they did it wasn't without reason to!
I know I've had had an ear bashing in my time, but them ear bashings, their love and kindness, made me the guy I am today, they both taught me to be strong, never to give up, always except mistakes, treat others how you would want to be treated, don't be afraid of showing your love and expressing yourself, always stay strong and don't worry what others say or think about you.
Basically, just be yourself! I've learnt all them qualitys and more including compassion, and trust me they was plenty of that to be had.
Love to Len and Hilda Swarbrick always xx
This is another little poem that I have written, it's called, Grandparents
The kind loving souls that show us the way, fighting for our well being every day, Grandparents that we look up to with respect, always keeping us from the storms so that we don’t get wet, but that time will come when they have to go away, but no matter what, there’re shedding their light of love that still leads your way.
We she’ll always have memories that will never leave, some will bring joys, some will leave tears... You will never stop wishing for that day they will be here, holding your hand and saying, ‘Yes my Dear?’
With all the sounds of true words once said, remembering the days that they did their best, wanting you to smile and the rest, as it’s now time to do your best.
Dry those eyes and pick up your smile, that’s the reason your Grandparents made your life so worthwhile.
R.I.P Hilda Swarbrick, you will be forever missed. Love to you and grandad always xx

A little #poem I have written about #Cancer that will be featured in my
new poetry book coming out very soon.
This is a little poem that I've written for my nan, and also for all the other victims that this dreadful disease has taken an impact on.
Cancer
A beating heart that sometimes can’t take the passé, what is it with this dreadful disease in the human race, we lose the ones that we love, and the ones we embrace, it’s all heartbreaking and madness that we do not have enough funds around to wipe out this killer disease from our face!
Someone we love and someone we know, would have been brought down by this dreadful disease like so, hurting the ones that we love the most. How can this be, it could live inside you or me as we watch peoples life brought down by such misery, watching the family’s break down over this catastrophe, watching the hurt that this killer disease lies in front of me!
Is it because I'm older and wiser, I can see it all around, and now it’s a hidden by fear, that we wish it would be brushed under all towns, something we would rather not know, sometimes we feel its pain like so. In all the towns and cities around, think of the life’s that are still around before we visits the man above or the man down!
A wicked disease, we all try to fight, the angels are the ones who give up their time day and night, opening arms that are open so wide, where others will watch, maybe take sides, but they’re not the ones that are suffering you see, but still this disease could live inside you or me... They can’t understand the pain that you feel and those are the ones, who will never see the real deal.
If you feel that something isn't right, visit your GP, but never give up the fight.
This poem is featured in my poetry book, coming out very soon, so keep an eye out for, 'Cool Blue Poetry!'

#Flower Blue Rain... What flower represents you?
This post follows my Facebook post where I was asked by the lovely talented, Shelly Lundquist, to find a flower that represents me and also what the flower symbolises. The intention is to fill up Facebook with flowers to break the saturation of negative images and videos that we do stubble across on many timelines... The flower I chose was a flower called, Blue Rain.How I came across this plant by chance, it was my nan's birthday and I wanted to get her something special, like I always do, but what do you get a lady that has everything including all our love. I normally find her something she would want, like some nightwear for winter and items I know she would use.
On this occasion I hadn't any idea... I'm forever getting my nan flowers, so that wouldn't be anything special in my eyes. Anyway, where was I? Yes, we came across this plant in the flower section when I was doing some shopping with my new partner. We were in a well known supermarket, and I said lets just have a look at the flower section, so we did.
There it was standing out to me saying, 'You must buy me Mr Swarbrick.' It was overpriced so I kept having second thoughts, but the more I thought about it the more the heart kept saying, 'You can't put a price on beauty.' It was sitting with some orchids all by itself in a large see through box. It was a lovely plant in a lovely package... Perfect!!
We went around that evening and visited my nan, we gave my nan the plant. She loved it and thought it was very pretty and very unusual, and it was... Everyone was happy...
Three days later I received a call from my nan in a panic... I was worried and when my nan told me what was wrong, I couldn't stop laughing. This is how that phone call went...
"Hi nan how are you?" "Oh, I am ok, but to tell you the truth this plant you have got me is beautiful, but it's scaring me!""It's scaring you?""Yes, it's grown at least two inches in three days, or I've shrunk more! It frightens me and I can't move it, the leafs are all sharp and they prick me every time I go near it!""Aw, I'm sorry nan. I'm working at the other end of Manchester, I'm not in the area at the moment. Can you not ask the guy whose fitting your bathroom and doing the tiling to just move it into the dinning room and I will move it at weekend?""I couldn't ask him to move the plant.""Nan he won't mind moving it into the dinning room, it's no big deal.""The leafs are sharp and I wouldn't want him to be spiked by it; It really does scare me!""Aw nan he wouldn't mind, anyway don't get worried I will see what I can do and try to get down after work, if not it will be tomorrow evening. I'm sorry the plant is like that though, it looked so pretty." "I'm sorry to go on, it is a very pretty plant, but it's growing more everyday and it scares me""Nan its sounding like that plant in the little shop of horrors movie if you ask me nan... 'Feed me seymoor!""It's getting like that."
My Nan started to laugh and said;
"I don't want you coming around if you're busy, I just wanted to let you know. Is there any room in your home for the plant? It is lovely, but I just feel its taking over.""It's ok Nan, I will find a place for it. I will see you soon, but like I said, don't worry.""I wont now I've spoken to you. Thank you Kevin.""There's no need to thank me, I bought you the triffid."
We both laughed.
"Right nan I need to love you and leave you now, I have some wallpaper pasted ready do go up, I will catch you soon.""Ok love, I will see you soon. Sorry for my little rant.""Like I said don't be sorry, look on the bright side, it will have another lovely home to go back to. Right Nan I must go. I will see you soon. Keep smiling, if there's anything you need, then let me know. I love you nan.""Aww bless you, I will be sure to let you know. I love you too, Kevin. See you soon and don't work too hard.""You know me nan, I'm always grafting when I can.""I know you are love. You take care. See you soon.""You sure will Nan. Bye for now."
We said our goodbyes, but no matter what the thought of this Triffid plant was going on in my head. I have never heard my nan so worried, ok, I have, but not over a plant. I decided to go around that evening after work, I couldn't stand the thought of her being all stressed over a plant. I still couldn't understand why my nan never asked the tiler guy to move it, after all he handles tiles that are sharp... 'Not to worry, just go and get it.' My inner voice in my head kept repeating.
When I arrived at my nan's home, she was pleased to see me as always. We had a few good jokes about the plant, and I stayed for around an hour chatting, then went home with the plant. My nan wasn't joking this plant did grow a lot in them a few days.
When I got it home, I could still see its beauty, Ok, Teddy wasn't impressed... Still, that's my little story how I came to own this beautiful plant.
The plant blue Rain symbolizes; Friendship and devotion. After reading up about this plant with its plastic spiky flowered kind of texture, it really was such a gentle looking plant, I could understand why this plant caught my eye right away... It really is a stunning plant when it isn't on the attack... 'Giggles.'

Inspirational moments, what do you do with yours?
I don't know if you have read my last post, but thanks to the Brooklyn Foundation I was able to turn my last poem into a great rap song. If you haven't heard that song yet, then please do check it out on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/kevin-swarbrick
As you know I am all about turning all them negatives in my life into a positive. I have had many ups and downs and not all in the nice way, but its them experience in my life than enabled me to do what I love doing. We all have a story to tell, we all have a song to sing. In my case I went from a guy who had never written anything before and never had time to read due to my hectic lifestyle. My life hasn't been perfect, by far! I have made mistakes and learned from them mistakes, I taught myself the full understanding of life by reaching out to many fantastic people. Louie has Landed 'The Early Days' was a book about passion and love, a story told from the heart the way I was back then, To me this was just a story, my story that I wanted to share, that one story alone changed me in many ways that I would never dream of. 'Kev a writer! Kev, an inspiration to many out there. But like I've said, my life was not easy, and still isn't, but I have found that happy place now. I have moved on from all the things that have happened in my life, but that doesn't mean I won't write about them! There is no law that says you can't write about your experiences for others to relate to. Fortunately, I was able to do that in such a way, I never thought it was possible for a guy like me, all the dramas, all the fake friends, all the lies and deception, all the negatives turned into a positive. The support has been very overwhelming! My writing journey has enabled me to meet many new and wonderful friends that have all been fantastic, and still are. For that I do thank you all.

PoemsCan you hear me.
Here are just a few more little poems that I would like to share with you. These won't be rapping songs, but they will be featured in my poetry book, depending how well you like them that is. So please feel free to leave a comment.
The fall as I hit the ground, no one cares with no one around.
When I cry the sounds of a baby, with the screaming in pain that would drive you crazy, not knowing what to do, with no one other than you.
No one is around, but can you hear me?
The times when you’re sad, and in that lonely place, with so many people who are there in your face, but search within as you sleep at night, when there is yet again, no one in sight, the only sounds that you can hear is the echo of that new born tears.
The child within is calling out at you to be strong and give love that will remain so true, live for the future and not in the past, those memories will always be there to last, but with the one question that never seems to pass... Can you hear me?
This poem when I was writing it. I was thinking of all the lost life's. Soldiers who have thought for their country, but was sadly taken away from their love ones. I can understand the pain and devastation a love one can feel. With this poem I tried to put them feelings from a love one into words....
Breaking me
The days when you were there, I never stopped to care. How could you go and leave me this way, it’s no good you looking down as I wanted you to stay.
There is no one about for me any more, you left me alone and my pain is pure.
I remember the days when you made me smile, the days no one was there for you, only me, I’m your family you see. Now please watch down on my life and guide me. Make me feel that love one day the love that you have taken away. I am in a world I can’t understand, my mind doesn’t function, and sometimes I don't understand who I am.
I loved you and this is breaking me, I gave you my love, my heart the whole me. I wish one day you could understand how much I want to hold your hand, but now there’s no more footprints in the sand, just the memories of a life that was grand.
It’s breaking me, please understand I long for the day I can hold your hand.
Down at the Big Temple recording with Alan Burke and Jennie Bonita.

Dramas https://soundcloud.com/kevin-swarbrickThe lyrics to this rap.(Hook)
(Intro) Yeah... hahaha
(Verse 1) No, not again, yeah, please leave me alone, always in my face yeah having a moan! You bring people in our relationship and they just can’t leave alone... They do everything in their power to make and break me, sometimes I just don’t want to wake! Dramas, dramas all the time, why can't you see if you left alone we would be fine, instead your hanging out our dirty washing on the line, making your lot wanting me to die, telling lies for your secrets that are true, taking away a child because you both came as a two, all the years that I’ve have known you, do you think this is right, giving me so much drama so you can open your legs to someone guy at night! All this pain that you have caused with no real reason, just to drop your drawers!
Corus; Dramas all of the time, if you left me alone, It would be just fine, rise for tomorrow and not for the past... It's your future that’s longing to last... Bi.ch....(Hook)(Verse 2) You created many lies and lived behind them you see, but now you’re twisting everything and trying to blame everything on me! You sent my head west with the games that you played, only because you wanted me away and now you think your secrets will still stay at bay... Hoping for the day I won’t kiss and tell, well guess what bi.ch your love can rot in hell... Drama after the drama is what you bring, the real reason I never got down on one knee and offered you a ring. You had my heart, but you always did me wrong, now its time for me to rise and create my own song, I’m not like you and I think for myself, I don’t need any more hands to drag me through hell!
You have caused that much drama that I can never understand, getting your friends and family to lie to you so you can mess around with another man! All this drama that you made for me, plotting and scheming to mess up my life to try destroys me. I’m not like you, and I am me, I rise above all the negativity!!
Corus; Dramas all of the time, if you left me alone I would be just fine, rise for tomorrow and not for the past as its your future that’s longing to last... (Hook) Yeah, yeah... Respect...Hahaha... Yeah, yeah it’s the truth that I respect, not playing with my minds whilst he’s getting you wet! How many times can you hit me and say its love, how much drama can one person cause with all that negativity energy above, you don’t deserve someone like me, I should have known back then when you was always acting free, playing around with guys in your town, but yet there’s no circus and you’re such a clown!
You have broken what could have been, I hope you’re happy with your lies as Karma is not a dream. The child will grow and the secret will be out, when that time comes you will feel your heart melt, like mine once did with the hurt that you made, you will then see that drama isn't a game...
Corus; Dramas all of the time, if you left me alone I would be just fine, rise for tomorrow and not for the past, it's your future that’s longing to last...
(Verse) Hahaha... Now I know the truth of what a snake you are, all I can say is I will meet this new guy at the bar, not for a fight, you see, I want to buy him beer in fact I might buy him three, I will buy him the bar! He will need it you see, a leopard doesn't change its spots, you never did with me. I’m not even bothered now as I am free, free from all the lies and free from the negativity, I’m going to bed now with my new woman, yes she’s a million of what you will ever be. You did me a favour for that I thank you, but I can’t wait for the day when 5o shades of Karma comes back around and spanks you... B.tch.... ‘Eco’
(Hook)Part (Corus) Drama Dramas...
My moral of all my stories is to never give up on what you believe in, I know I am exploring all my talents and trying to put each one to them to the test. No matter what all these talents lead me back to my writing, a gift that I now know the true value of, an art that is used in all great ways, some might say it's finding myself, and they would be right, but no matter what on this journey, one thing I won't do is lose myself or let alone lose my faith. It's your fantastic support that's making this journey reality. Once again, I thank you all :)

#Poems turned into #songs... Where does your #creative mind take you...?
Where does your creative mind take you?
As you all may be aware, I only started writing at the age of 35 and how I came into writing is explained in the stories which I have written. My writing is all about real life, my life so far! I like to keep all my work as real as I am, and it seems that in all these months I've been dipping my toes in a little bit of everything when it comes to writing. I even did a little presenting for 8 months on Salford City Radio every Saturday with Sarah Jones on her show. I guess it was my way of finding my comfort zone and wanting to try out new things. I feel I have so much that I want to write about with so little time to do it in because of my full time day job and everyday life. It is hard going, but I do my best in spite of my circumstances! It’s a long story and maybe one I will write about it at a later date!
Some of you may be aware that I have wanted to do a poetry book and the poetry book I am now working on is going great. Kev has found another talent that I knew was there, but I was unsure about the best way to go about it. I wanted to make this vision reality as I did with the rest of my work. Life can deal us bad cards from time to time to slow us down, but it’s what you do with those bad cards that matters. I learnt to just get rid of all the bad cards and put all my energy into the good positive cards, testing my boundaries once again! Here's just a couple of my poems that I have written; one which some of you will recognize from my blogs, and the other will be in my book that I'm working on.
I will tell you where the idea of writing poems came from... I was doing well with my poems and the words were just flowing greatly, but then a few of my poems started to get a little long, but to me they all sounded fantastic, so why take anything away from such well written words? I couldn't, so I did what I knew I could do... Yes, I turned these poems into cool awesome rap songs! Why did I do that, you ask? Well, we all have an idol in the music world, if not many, but my idol is Eminem; that guy has been through so much, but he got to where he wants to be by hard work and dedication. He followed a dream and now look at him. I know some people may hate him, but in life we all have the haters and if we let them win, then no one would ever fulfill their dreams.
Thank you to 'The Brooklyn Foundation' with the man himself, Alan Burk, who you can find on Twitter @diskdrive, he's been recording his own music since 1983 and is very talented indeed. Thank you to my vision which came true. He came up with some awesome music to go with this track I had written and I sent Alan the words to this song and he loved them. I ended up going down to his studio and recording what once started out as a poem, in fact, we recorded it a few times before I decided to get the lovely, Jennie Bonita in to sing the chorus, and I must say it all went together perfectly. This was just another string to my bow, something else I have been wanting to do and now I can turn around and say “Yes, I have written and sung my very own song!” Basically, if we all have a vision and a dream, create that vision, live that dream, you never know unless you try. However, if you begin falling, don't forget it's only a setback for now, 'Trust me, I have had many of them!' The key is not to be beaten and stay positive.
I would love to hear what you think of this track, be warned though, it's not for the faint hearted.

The Ice Bucket Challenge... With a huge difference... I need your help here please.... #Charity #Love #Kindness #Respect
It's freezing... I need your help
Some of you may already be aware that there is a new craze going around in the social media world called the Ice Bucket Water Challenge. This challenge is to raise money for charity, and it is for a great cause unlike the pointless, Neck Nomination! Yes I did say pointless! You get drunk; you face death with alcohol poisoning, not to mention all the other Pointless stuff after that, plus one bad head in the morning. What could that possibly gain for you other than looking like a tit on line? My point too, it's Pointless, not to mention you had me wanting a beer on a school night... Not good man!
Anyway, where was I? Yes the Ice Bucket Challenge isn't pointless and it is to raise money for charity, and not money for the next big piss up with your mates! Really I watched some of them videos and as Shania Twain would say, "It don't impress me much!" I didn't think the Ice Bucket Challenge would, but in fact it does, only for the simple fact that it's to raise money for a great cause and not for someone's own stupidity! No offence to anyone who did do the Neck Nomination, that's your own choice and we are all happy you had a great time...!
Now this is how the Ice Bucket Challenge works... If a person that has been nominated and prefers not to do the challenge and does not do the challenge, then they have to donate £100 to the charity of the person's choice who nominated them. Whoever has been nominated will have his or her last words when they nominate ten other people before being drowned with an icy cold bucket of water and ice poured slowly over their head! I know it sounds crazy, but that's the craze at the moment and unfortunately for me I did get nominated for this challenge, so I wanted to do a little more than just be giving £10 to charity after being drowned!
Well like I said I do want to do my part now that, Neil Massy, has nominated me. Normally you only a time span of 48 hours, but Neil was kind enough to give me a little more time knowing what a busy man I am and also knowing that I want to do a little more to try and raise donations. I decided to open a page for the charity of my choice. I know when I do my nominations the page will still stay open for anyone to still donate, I will do my best to come up with some crazy ideas myself such as this one I will be doing!
Yes, I will be doing this challenge in my birthday suit, but it doesn't stop there!! I could face a heart attack and maybe even death, but still it's for a great cause... 'His famous last words!' I could tell you what I am going to do, but unless I raise a lot of money for charity, I wont be fulfilling my idea, really what would be the point of facing death for £50? Actually there isn't any, just like the Neck Nomination... Pointless!
Here's what I will do if you can help me raise say, £500 then I will tell you my idea, not to mention me doing the challenge where it will be posted on YouTube and other social media sites, 'Now what a tit I'm going to look like, still no alcohol needed!' I know £500 isn't enough for the dangers involved... Heart attack or possible death, now that's without a pint! Still it's for a great cause...
The charity I have chosen is, St. Ann's Hospice based in my home town of Salford, England. They provide care and support to people with terminal illnesses. It is difficult having a terminal illness without support. St Ann's Hospice offers support for them and their family's in the Greater Manchester area.This is all through the generosity of supporters like you. All the care that is provided is free of charge and it really does make a difference to the terminally ill and their families.
Please help me in this endeavour for it could just as easily be you but I hope and pray that it never will be.
I hope we all live a long healthy live but we never know from one day to the next what will happen.
Let's be there for the people who need our help and support at this very moment. Thank you for whatever can do to help me reach my goal. I can't do this alone; I need your help and support. God bless...
https://www.justgiving.com/Kevin-Swarbrick/
I would like to thank; Alan Burk, Martine Dodd, Katie Masson, Kim Stapf, Kelly Rollond, for there generous donations. I would also like to thank a great friend, Edie Mosback for helping me put this together.... I wont say what I have planed, but trust me Edie knows and thinks it's an awesome idea with dangers of course... Please share and try to help the donations coming in. I want to do this challenge as much as you want to see what I have in mind!!
Thank you all for your support. God Bless.

#MondayBlogs > I was asked by, Marta Moran Bishop, to answer some questions, and also tag three other authors... Here goes!
I was honoured when I was asked to answer some questions by the wonderful, awesome author, Marta Moran Bishop.
I must say, in all the time I have known Marta, she is one of the nicest ladies I have had the pleasure of chatting with. Not only does Marta have a heart of gold, but she also has many talents and not just in her writing. There is so much to Marta that you will be amazed. This is one lady well worth checking out, but please don't just take my word for it, see for yourself by checking out the links below:
http://www.martamoranbishop.com/blog-tours/my-writing-process-monday-blogs http://www.martamoranbishop.com/
http://www.martambishop.blogspot.com/
My name is Kevin Swarbrick. I’m in my late thirties and now live in Manchester, UK.
All my life I have had many ups and downs continuing to this day, but that’s another story!! When I first started writing at the age of 35 I really had no idea that this talent was there until it was pointed out to me. “It is all in my story”, but I’ve always been an artsy person, studying art and design at college, then my life led me on more paths and more failures. I was taking the knock downs that life had to offer, but no matter what and no matter how hard my times have been, I have always gotten up from the falls. In retrospect to all that, it has made me the person I am today, on a path I would have never dreamed of back then. They say everything happens for a reason, I can say I have found that reason at long last! Now I just want to share with my readers the fun times and the bad times that have happened in my life, which can range from many things, Romance! Affairs! Erotic times! Destruction! Fun times! Heartache! Bullying! And of course that magic word ‘Love’ which has tended to get in my way many times! When I look back at some of the situations, I do think, “Did that really happen”? Unfortunately and fortunately it all did. I truly believe in what hurts us does make us stronger; I always try to bring a positive out of a negative, and you should never let anyone stand in the way of your dreams or try to put you down for following them. This is my dream, my vision, my path, my journey and most of all, my life! Your life is in your hands and yours alone! We all make the wrong choices, we all make mistakes, we wouldn't be human if we didn't. We are who we are today and not who we were. Never look back to what could have been, look forward to how it can be, follow your dreams!
What am I working on?
At the moment I'm working on reclaiming my life! No, really, it was a rough last couple of years. I won’t go into too much detail about all that yet as it could be another Louie Has Landed story, just not nearly as much fun! My life is back on track again and I am now continuing to finish the three stories that I have had on my laptop for such a long time. I have now removed the dust and the figures and my mind and heart are now back on track. I have three projects I am working on right now. Like most writers, I write from my life experiences and that’s what I’m working on at the moment.
How does my work differ from others of its genre?
My work is fun and unique. I’ve said it as it is with no fluff or nonsense. I’ve told my story to the world from my heart and my prospective; it’s about who I was back then and not who I am now. As you know, my work is about improving myself and to get to where I want to be and hopefully have that happy ending in life! It’s also a great feeling knowing that others are inspired by my work and this does give me more drive to succeed. I don’t want to let my readers down, let alone myself. Everyone knows in this game, it’s a long ladder to climb; it’s a lot like snakes and ladders, you can hit a fall in life and you are back at first base, do you walk away or make sure you never leave the ladder. I am on that ladder and no matter what snakes are out there, I will continue to climb.
Why do I write what I do?
When I first started writing, I kept a promise to the woman in my book and that promise was also made to myself. As anyone can see, I kept that promise which was writing from the heart. After that, my writing became a passion. My writing has helped take away all the pain I was feeling at the time and now that pain has turned into love and joy. In life things happen for a reason and if you would have asked me when I was 34 would I want to be a writer, the thought would have never crossed my mind. I believe everyone has some talent they don’t know about, I was just lucky that this one person spotted that talent in me and did push me forward. Despite what happened in the story, you can still call this woman a blessing in disguise as I would never have been on this path if it wasn’t for her encouragement. It’s in all my stories how I became a writer/author.
How does your writing process work?
I work during the day running my own business which takes up a lot of time and energy, so my writing happens late at night or early morning and that’s the time my mind usually switches off from life dramas! I write when I can and as much as I can but sometimes it’s not easy with everyday life getting in the way. However, when I get inspired to write, that’s what I do whether I am working or not, the ideas in my head will stay there until I get home and that idea will be put into action the best way I can. In saying that, I have now started writing notes down on my Iphone which I think is what they really were invented for weren't they?:)

My second author is a wonderful lady I have had the lovely pleasure of knowing since day one of chatting with her many years ago. You may have seen this author many times, including on my post in the past as I have worked with this lady often. I must say she is a lady of many talents and her writing is just one of them. I can honestly say that this author has been another huge inspiration to me as well as a great friend with a heart of gold. Here's a little more about my second author.
Minnie Lahongrais has always been Native New Yorker, author, and an avid reader. As a child, she would sneak books to read under her covers at bedtime and read them with the light of a penlight her father secretly gave her. This small gift gave way to a vivid imagination coupled with a seemingly unquenchable curiosity and thirst for knowledge.She began writing thrillers and fantasystories in earnest after her father died in 2005 as a way of dealing with his death. Minnie is the author of two psychological thrillers: SINNERS RIDE and DIVERGENT LIVES.Time not spent working at her day job or with family and friends is split between two novels – another psychological thriller – and a paranormal series. For more information on this fantastic lady and author, please check out the links below, trust me you won't be disappointed.www.minnielahongrais.com

My third and final author I have chosen is a new awesome author from Ireland. Since knowing Natasha, I have found her to be kind, loyal and has a heart of gold as well as a fantastic talent for writing and telling a story. I believe this is another author to keep an eye on in the near future. I know I am proud to support all
authors, including the new ones. Here's a little more about this wonderful, lovely author, Natasha White.
Natasha White is 41, lives in County Wicklow, Ireland, in a crumbling Victorian house, with her partner,three young children, three chickens, a cat and a dog. While coming from a motoring and banking background, she has always had an unhealthy interest in serial killers and their psychology. From a carefree childhood in South Dublin through a turbulent and abusive marriage, she has drawn on memories and feelings from both experiences. What woman hasn't entertained thoughts of murder orrevenge, but what is your excuse if you've never been abused? That’s the question posed by her new book. This book is an insight into Ireland in post Celtic tiger days, the boom is over and certainly the country is bust. The author hoped to draw on that from personal experience, and that of many people in Ireland, although she can’t lay claim to personal knowledge of murder and disposal.
I would like to thank, Marta Moran Bishop, for giving me this opportunity to answer these question and thank you for being such a great influence and a huge inspiration in my life. I would also like to thank another great friend, Edith Mosback, for being such a huge support on my writing journey. You lady's really do rock. Thank you. Until next time keep smiling.
I must say, in all the time I have known Marta, she is one of the nicest ladies I have had the pleasure of chatting with. Not only does Marta have a heart of gold, but she also has many talents and not just in her writing. There is so much to Marta that you will be amazed.

This small gift gave way to a vivid imagination coupled with a seemingly unquenchable curiosity and thirst for knowledge.She began writing thrillers and fantasystories in earnest after her father died in 2005 as a way of dealing with his death. Minnie is the author of two psychological thrillers: SINNERS RIDE and DIVERGENT LIVES.Time not spent working at her day job or with family and friends is split between two novels – another psychological thriller – and a paranormal series.

My third and final author I have chosen is a new awesome author from Ireland. Since knowing Natasha, I have found her to be kind, loyal and has a heart of gold as well as a fantastic talent for writing and telling a story. I believe this is another author to keep an eye on in the near future. I know I am proud to support all
authors, including the new ones. Here's a little more about this wonderful, lovely author, Natasha White.
Natasha White is 41, lives in County Wicklow, Ireland, in a crumbling Victorian house, with her partner,three young children, three chickens, a cat and a dog. While coming from a motoring and banking background, she has always had an unhealthy interest in serial killers and their psychology. From a carefree childhood in South Dublin through a turbulent and abusive marriage, she has drawn on memories and feelings from both experiences. What woman hasn't entertained thoughts of murder orrevenge, but what is your excuse if you've never been abused? That’s the question posed by her new book. This book is an insight into Ireland in post Celtic tiger days, the boom is over and certainly the country is bust. The author hoped to draw on that from personal experience, and that of many people in Ireland, although she can’t lay claim to personal knowledge of murder and disposal.
I would like to thank, Marta Moran Bishop, for giving me this opportunity to answer these question and thank you for being such a great influence and a huge inspiration in my life. I would also like to thank another great friend, Edith Mosback, for being such a huge support on my writing journey. You lady's really do rock. Thank you. Until next time keep smiling.
