SOUL RESCUE BY DOUG SIMPSON
Genre: Fiction/General/Christian/Fantasy/Romance/Paranormal/Ghost/Visionary & Metaphysical
Soul Rescue
Dacque LaRose, the protagonist in the Dacque Chronicles, is a very unusual Good Samaritan who has been selected by the Heavenly Powers to assist Them in rescuing deserving souls in need of rescuing, no matter whether these souls still reside in human bodies or have departed from their human residences when their body passed away. Dacque’s soul has earned this exalted position as God’s helper through his exemplary actions and clean living throughout his numerous previous incarnations, as well as his current lifetime. To assist Dacque in carrying out these noble duties he has been bestowed with unique powers in this lifetime, powers which allow him to see and converse with spirits as well as receive direct messages from the Heavenly Powers.
Soul Rescue is the recounting of Dacque’s latest adventure where he is directed to the local children’s hospital to locate and assist the earth-bound spirits of five children stranded for many decades. Dacque is rewarded with three touching personal relationships throughout this adventure and a totally unanticipated surprise at the conclusion of his Heavenly assignment.
Soul Rescue, Book II of the Dacque Chronicles, is a fictional novel inspired by a series of actual events.
Excerpt from Soul Rescue:
Dacque jolted awake, and sat up on one elbow. He reached for his pen and notepad, always patiently waiting for him on his nightstand for just such occasions. Dacque scribbled down all of the details of the dream that he could recall: Annabel Sweeney, Anywhere Children’s Hospital, doctors, nurses, needles, death, sobbing mother and comforting father dressed in clothing like he remembered from the older movies he occasionally watched on television, when he could find nothing better to do.
Throughout his regular morning routine, Dacque could not chase the dream from his thoughts. He had passed by Anywhere Children’s Hospital hundreds of times, on his morning walks, but, fortunately, he never had occasion to pass through its doors. Receiving messages in his dreams was old-hat, but this dream was not like any he had ever experienced before. It was more like a short clip from a movie, not a message from the-other-side. He could taste a new adventure, but he found it difficult to imagine his connection to this dream.
Dacque locked his apartment door and headed towards the elevator for his morning walk. His watch read 9:07.

I AM a Poem by Cody Reel
I am afraid.
I am afraid of what I really am.
I am afraid I am a bad person.
I am afraid of not being able to do what I want to do.
I am afraid of not reaching my expectations.
I am afraid of my perfectionism.
I am afraid of being yelled at.
I am afraid of not being able to speak up.
I am afraid of not being given a chance to speak.
I am afraid of being broke my whole life.
I am afraid of giving up on my dreams.
I am afraid that I am wrong.
I am afraid that I am the only person that believes I can do something.
I am calm.
I am always looking for another reason to be afraid.
I’m afraid of my flaws.
I’m afraid of NOT being perfect.
I am embarrassed.
I am embarrassed for being embarrassed.
I am isolated.
I am a loner.
I am eccentric.
I am not fond of the word “eccentric.”
I am outspoken.
I am not fond of conversations.
I am a hater of many things.
I am a hater of the dull-witted.
I am a hater of the weak-minded outspoken.
I am curious.
I am extremely curious.
I am extremely short-tempered.
I am confident in what I believe in.
I am unconfident in myself.
I really enjoyed this poem and found myself relating to every single word. Sometimes as an author and a person I feel like I’m not on the right track. But I think the only way to succeed in anything is believing in yourself. Connect with the author at https://www.facebook.com/codyalanreel

Blog Blizzard - Erika M Szabo - Author
Reblogged from Robynn Gabel's Common Sense Experience:
My name is Erika M Szabo, I am an Alternative Medicine practitioner and author. I am a Hungarian born American; I live in the beautiful Catskill Mountains. I received my PhD in Alternative Medicine ten years ago and published a few books in this subject in Hungarian and English.
I love the art of healing and I love to bring awareness about Holistic Healing; however, writing about dry medical facts doesn’t satisfy my thirst for storytelling.
Plain Truth: Why should I vote?
With the election less than three days away, media sources are hinting that the turnout of early voters in several key battleground States may yield clues to its outcome. It is unclear whether this is based on voter affiliation or the relentless propaganda polling that occurs as you leave the building. Election experts concede that early voting is typically dominated by those who made up their mind back in February and though the trend has historically favored Republicans, current estimates show Democrats with a higher turnout….Interesting…Continue Reading >
Late For NaNoWriMo? No Worries!
Reblogged from An Evil Nymph's Blog:
On the 1st November, instead of attacking the blank page and starting this ruthless challenge of writing 50,000 in a month, I finished my last two exams papers and ended up sleeping. It was only yesterday that I started to write, and my NaNo statistics are well below the expected word count… for the time being.
Are you in the same situation?
so lucky, i am starting mine today and I already feel spent

She attended Bethel University in Minnesota and graduated in 2003, holding AA, ASN and BSN degrees.
BRED FOR DUTY
BRED FOR DUTY was previously called THE GUARDIAN DIARIES. This is because both Archer and Adalia kept a diary/journal. The book starts with journal entries that let readers into the minds of the main characters.
Adalia and Archer are guardians, they are winged ‘humans’ who have to guard and protect the supernatural realm, (more emphasis on this in my next book CHRONICLES OF AN ORADION)
There are two kingdoms, the North and the South. The kingdoms are separated by the color of the guardian’s wings. The North have white wings and the South have black wings. With the rise of the rebels the two kingdoms have to unite to ensure cooperation with each other. Adalia and Archer the first born of king Lionell and Gabrielle have to get married and their marriage a symbol of the unity of the two kingdoms.
Below are the first journal entries of the Archer and Adalia.
Dear world,
My little brother Noel was born yesterday and his birth brings the tally to six boys and three girls. I think father is making certain that there is an heir and a spare and a few spares for both the heir and the spare. I remember when I figured out my role in this world, as the future king of the Northern kingdom. My eyes took everything in and out of the white crystal palace. At first I only knew one color, white the royal color especially since everyone with royal blood is dressed in white plus the palace decor was white.
Anyway back to my growing family, my little sister and brother want to join me in my next battle or ambush against the rebels. I do admire their courage but I feel that they will hasten my demise. The big brother in me will not allow my siblings to go out in the battle field unprotected. They will only serve as a distraction but even if I die there are eight other royals eligible for the crown.
Tomorrow we are meeting with the royals from the South Kingdom; their women are coming in to see the new baby while the men will be planning ways to rid ourselves of the rebel nuisance. I never considered that there was anyone more beautiful than my mother but I have heard stories of the queen Liora and her awestruck beauty. It is said that their daughter, Adalia, bears her mother’s good looks and her father’s bravery and courage. The whole royal family will be here tomorrow; I will get a chance to dispute or confirm the rumors. Especially since Adalia is to be my bride.
Archer.
Dear Diary,
Mother says I should act more like a princess and less like a gladiator. A princess is never heard of, she says. She’s supposed to be delicate and as sweet as a song bird. But how could I, if I was father’s son for the first four years of my life. I watched him train with the other soldiers and that is all I know. Besides I don’t think anyone will look past my mother’s beauty and focus on me.
Liora is beautiful and I’m sure Aphrodite cannot hold a candle to her. She is not only queen of the Southern Kingdom but also of beauty. I will be queen one day but I will take a much more active duty. I understand my mother’s want to be a mother but I don’t understand why she had to put down her sword because of it. My father refused to let her join him in battle but when I become Queen I will go to each and every battle. I will not throw away my passion for marriage, why, when my brother Randi can produce more heirs if needed.
Tomorrow we go to the Northern Kingdom to congratulate the royal family on the birth of their new prince. I know the visit is just a facade to cover the fact that father is going for a strategy meeting, why else would General Conan come along. I haven’t picked a present for the prince or his parent s yet, I’ll let mother take care of that for me.
The visit will allow me to access their military power and see what kind of help they will need from us. Diary it’s time for me to make my rounds and check on the guards. Let’s just hope that tomorrow’s visit bears fruit.
Adalia.

BRED FOR DUTY
What do you do when your father tells you, you are to me married to a woman you have never met. Why? because she is a princess and you are the heir to your father’s throne. Why? because it is good for both kingdoms and therefore your duty.
Archer’s father has always reminded him of one fact that he was ‘Bred for Duty’.
