MERRY CHRISTMAS
Gracious, loving and merciful God, on this Christmas Eve, as the light of your Word penetrates our hearts, as we are reminded of the gift of life and faith, as the glories of the heavenly hosts are echoed in our church, we open ourselves up to your Spirit and give you thanks. We are grateful, Lord Jesus, that your story has become our story, and we celebrate your birth.
Continue, we pray, to instill in us a profound sense of your abiding presence, and help us to take to heart the wonder of your love, that we may walk in your ways and delight in your will.
Help us, Lord God, to be the faithful, gracious, loving, giving and forgiving people you would have us be.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
My Christmas Presents to You the books below will be 0.99 on Amazon from the 24th to the 7th of Jan.

MY IGNORANT WORLD
There is this ignorant world, that i like to live in.
Where my mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters are safe.
Where I don’t have to worry about the person sitting next to me, because I haven’t done anything against him, so there is no reason why he should harm me.
There is this ignorant world I like to live in.
Where we are all safe, loved and treasured.
Where my life is just as important as the life of the person next to me.
Where sadness will not consume me.
Where darkness will not overcome that light within me.
It’s a world where I love ferociously and pray that you all love me back.
I am your sister, your friend and your lover.
There is this ignorant world, my naive heart lives in,
but slowly my innocence is being broken away, my safety stolen from me.
I may not understand, but I will not let Fear consume me.
I will live in this ignorant world with the people I love and pray for God to keep us safe.
I Pray for Paris
I Pray for Lebanon
I Pray for the world.

MY SELF PUBLISHED TITLES.
Hey guys, I have been self publishing my old titles on Amazon. The latest one is HER LOVE STORY, it used to be known as Denouement.
Marietta Parks believes that the only way to stop surprises from happening in life is to control your own fate. Paying attention to every detail she scripts out her own life. Leaving love, romance and children out of it. But then she meets a man who just has to be added into her story, Tobias Harden was the man of everyone’s dreams but t her he was a lovely addition to her already scripted life. Tobias Harden was the modern day Casanova. Love was not in his vocabulary, and he was allergic to the word commitment, like poison Ivy to the bare skin. A chance kiss with Marietta Parks makes him question his single life. He was to be the best for her, and oddly enough she happens to be the only woman he wants to kiss. Tobias convinces Marietta that she needs him in her life. But after three years of marriage and life’s obstacles, he finds himself in bed with another woman. He has to convince her that he is still the man for her, especially now that she’s pregnant.

SAFE CRADLE…..(give away!!!)
So my title for this weeks book post is safe cradle. As a new author or writer, the first thing you do once your book is done is looking for a publisher to co-parent with you. Because essentially that’s what it is. You are pregnant for one month to however long it takes you to write and self edit your book. Then you give birth, the book is done and what is left is for you to nurture your story. Then you meet with editors, beta readers, proofers, lets call them teachers, nanny’s and coaches who help you and your publisher get your book out. Like preparing your child for the world. The raised by a village way. Then you get your book live and all you want is for people to like it, engage with it and to an extent i will cautiously say validate it. yes sure we all like to say that we write for ourselves, but there is absolutely no shame in saying i write for others to like it, to say yes that’s a good book by a good author. And there is no better validation that money.
So when you are on your own, single parenting, let;s say. As much as you want to be bold with your story because no one is putting restrictions on it, I find it daunting. There are only two books that I have self published that weren’t published before. The Mara Song and My Path. I can’t remember why The Mara Song didn’t get picked up, but as for My Path, they said it was sad and it didn’t have a H.E.A. My thinking when I wrote this book is that love isn’t always beautiful, rosy and happy. Sometimes it can be the exact opposite of what we fantasize it to be. It can be realistic and at times that reality is harsh.
These two books will be free on Amazon from the 18th to the 22nd. (Click on Pictures)
Anyway I published every book that has a lapsed contract or a publisher who closed its doors with the exception of The New Yorker Series and Denouement that I will rename to HER LOVE STORY.
So Red Tears Blue Blood is now called HER PRINCE and is available on Amazon at $2.99 from the $4.99 it was before.
This is the dedication I wrote for it. I thought about it when I saw some comments about a K-pop idol and his back up dancer. People can be petty and ridiculous.
On the outside we may look different,
one black, one white
one tall, one short,
one slim, one muscular
On the inside we bleed the same,
we hurt just the same,
we love the same,
Inside he has a heart that beats for me,
as fiercely as mine beats for him,
I love him, I will always love him.
Check out my blog This gal I know MIA for other entertaining stuff.
Love you!

SELF PUBLISHING
Hi, Self-publishing is a little daunting. Its like going to school on your own. Mommy isn’t there to hold your hand and do everything for you anymore. So I have released 4 self pub books already through Amazon. This weekend HIS LOVE previously published by Breathless Press is going to be up. It got lot of love when it went up before, so I am hoping you who have read it will direct your friends to it. I had been asked before why it was not available. Breathless Press shut it doors and the rights were reverted back to me. So look out for it. Until then
SECRETS is available.
I have nothing against 1 stars we are all entitled to your opinions, but I don’t understand this one. I feel like she got me confused with someone else. Because the i hate the runaway and come back thing even in Dramas.
‘Not a good tale, I try to take a chance on this author because she is a decent writer but her female characters are usually a pain in the rear. I dislike most of them because they are usually weak, take off running for years. The few stories I’ve read of this author the female characters break up and make up with the their leading men this is a scenario that I cannot abide because some romance novelist believe this is the only way to write a love story I disagree. Regardless this story was unrealistic because after everything this idiot woman did to this man there is no way any self respecting male take her back so quickly. The story was rushed at the end with not a great story from this reader’s perspective however I will keep trying to give this writer a chance because her stories have a lot of potential.’
