Status Update ... or am I procrastinating? :)
I've been so busy writing and it's incredible that when we focus on our mind - information comes pouring in, often faster than I can write it down. The very things we fear dissolve when we face them. When we take the plunge and face a lifelong fear we shouldn't ever stop or turn back. I see it as diving into a pool; if you dive in ... you can turn back, swim to the other end or sink to the bottom. I know what I'd choose ... even if there are crocodiles. Roll on book 3 ... end of May 2015. I soooooo love this song and would like to share it with you.
Don't Give Up
Much love,
Renée

Consolidation - Philosophy, Animated Gifs and Vegetarian Recipes
As part of a process of ‘Consolidation’ - the title of a chapter in the book I’m currently writing, I’ve merged parts of several websites that I manage. Here they are in ‘One’ website that shows my three creative traits. Re-formatted Website. The other websites have now been deleted. It’s great fun clearing these things up as the process clears our minds too, but the mind sure does put up a lot of resistance. Now … what else can I chuck out … ?
If you like vegetarian recipes and if you'd like to see some unusual animated gifs ... take a look.
Much love as always

Publication of 'Just Around The Bend'
My second book ‘Just Around The Bend: Más o Menos’ (paperback) has now been published and is available at Createspace immediately and will be on Amazon within a few days; please check there regularly. More information can be found on my Goodreads page.
‘Just Around the Bend’ is smaller in size (5.25 x 8 inches) than ‘On the other Hand’ (6 x 9 inches) as I found it more comfortable to hold; I hope you do too. ‘On the Other Hand’ will also be available in the smaller size should you prefer it (within a week).
I am busy working on my third, and possibly final book, and will keep you posted on its progress. There’s a little clue to the title here: My Website
Let’s change this world into one we’d all like to live in.
Much love

Smashwords Pre Order for 'Just Around The Bend' Ebook
Woohoo ... 'Just Around the Bend' is available as a pre-order 'ebook' on Smashwords. (publication date is 8th October 2014. The ebooks are 'not' illustrated and this isn't because I want to deny you the pleasure of seeing Dilly in all his glory, but because ebooks are notoriously problematic to have images in.

‘On The Other Hand’

THE BLURB
“A straight from the shoulder look at life in which the author asks some awkward questions we might prefer to swat away like an annoying fly. Questions like: Who am I? What is this life about? What is the mind? Why do we resist change? These are the questions we lock away in a tall tower like some inconvenient relative whose 'lost her marbles' and become an embarrassment to the family. Perhaps you've been asking 'comfortable' questions and avoiding the hard-hitting ones, preferring to hide away from them and pretend they don't exist. We hope someone, somewhere, will put it all right for us. They won't! This book is not for the 'faint of heart' as it brings you face to face with yourself ... but not the one you see when you look in the mirror. If you've locked yourself up in protective custody and thrown away the key, this book could well pick the lock and let you out again - if you're ready to be let out. There's something wonderful to discover if we care to take a look. If you're prepared to be brutally honest when thinking about the questions raised in this book and to be your own harshest critic, then pop over to the cash desk or place it in 'your basket' online and, go for it. You're not alone and help is always available ... far closer than you can imagine.”

THE BLURB
Apparently, just around the bend is where we’ll find everything we’ve been looking forward to including; world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. That’s great, but if they’re what you’re looking for you won’t find them in this book. What you’ll find is a series of essays that examine some diverse topics about human nature, looked at from an unusual perspective and written in a way you may not have read before - plain English. I know the daily grind keeps many of us way too busy to stop and consider - or care - about the mysteries of life let alone homilies like ‘Know Thyself’’; we have enough problems with ‘Where are my keys?’ But if you’re up to examining your ‘mind’ whilst I examine mine, then turn the book over and let’s get started.
Paying close attention to our thoughts, reactions and feelings can be scary at first but it reveals a great deal about us and is well worth the effort. You’re not alone and help is always available … far closer than you imagine.
