I actually dialog with my grandma and the answers seem to come to me in dreams or with signs. Often times the signs are coins or actual street signs.

If I was given the chance to say anything to my father, it would be thank you. Let me clarify this because anyone that reads my book will wonder, "Why would he say thank you to such a horrible person?" Well, the answer is simple. Without him, I never would have been brought into this world to experience the many lessons as well as the trials and tribulations that life has to offer

Truth and honesty make my emotional stories unique and creative. The most struggling part of my journey has a great deal to do with my adult children. The saga continues, as they too have chosen to turn their backs on me. I thought living with my father was my biggest nightmare. I understand now that even though life presents us with opportunities to grow, sometimes the pain itself becomes unbearable.

Book titles come to me before they are written. I believe our books were written lifetimes ago and they have their place and timing to come out. I think a title and the cover are the first point of interest that begss a book buyer to pick up and buy our books.

I prepared myself to be a writer during my childhood. I was inspired by a first-grade teacher who told me I was a great storyteller. Through Junior High School and the first year of High School, I went to summer school three years in a row taking typing. I knew I wanted to be a writer, but I couldn't read my own writing so I took up typing.

Writing is my opportunity to help just one soul at a time to recognize the opportunity to heal. If I were to choose between losing a limb or never writing, I would choose to lose a limb. I hopt neither ever happens. I plan to live the last years of my life writing.

Tom Bird inspired me to publish. His "Write your book in a Weekend" retreat helped me to write and complete my book. It's exhilarating to see your book in print, but it's even a bigger experience to know you touched someone's heart with your writing. The struggles are not be marketing prepared as a writer. That's why I'm creating a Virtual Hands-on working retreat for authors to help them build and grow their social media.

It wasn't difficult to overcome the adversities of the 50's, the 60's, the 70's, the 80's, the 90's, even the turn of the century once I recognized that I was responsible for my own actions.

I wouldn't be human if I didn't have regrets. I regret the experience of my children walking out of my life the most. Unfortunately, they too have lessons to learn and I've accepted this as fact that it's not possible to live someone else's lessons. The decision to walk away was theirs, so they have to live up with the responsibility of owning their decision. I didn't walk out on them, so I'm just continuing to love them.

Taking responsibility for my life by removing the obstacles of blame, anger, guilt, fear, and sorrow.

It was all worth it. I no longer feel that I'm a Wounded Child. This life experience has brought me to my intended "purpose" which is to write The Mortal Wounds Series ™ which will be a collection of shorts (Amazon has a category called Shorts) titled as the for example, The Suicidal Wounded Child, The Timeless Wounded Child, The Abused Wounded Child, etc. These will be fictional stories but they will help others to recognize that they too have a wounded child within their psyche. I don't think there is one person on this earth that doesn't have a Wounded child within them. I'm really excited about writing this series and I will be doing a bi-monthly podcast talking about each book as they are published. I'm equally excited about that too. The experience of life is worth it when we take steps in a positive direction. I believe I have done that.

The Universe. Once I opened up to recognize all we have to do is "seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive and to knock and the doors will be opened. When I started asking and knocking, the doors opened wide.

The Mortal Wounds Series™ and helping new and experienced Authors to learn how to convert books into sales. I'm excited to teach.

If I'm not writing, I'm working with the Authors in Tom Bird's program as the PublishNow Liaison.
