Today’s episode is a special one for two reasons. My specialguest is not only a children’s book author, she’s a teen author with a birthdaycoming up in two weeks.Shanti Hershenson’s first two novellaswere published when she was in the sixth grade, although her writing journeystarted long before then. Ever since she could hold a pencil, marker, orcrayon, she was creating stories. They started from pictures, mere scribbles,and eventually, turned into captivating tales. She lives in California with herparents, sister, and furry friends. Besides writing, she enjoys skateboarding,Beyblading, free-running, falconry, and of course, reading. She writes in avariety of genres, including Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction,although she mostly sticks to Sci-Fi. She advocates for anti-bullying, and youmay find her at open mic-nights, performing her spoken word poem Needles &Thorns, which is about the struggle of bullying in middle schools.Shanti’s featured book is entitled: Helipads in Heaven.World-renowned author Dillon Hershkop has everything she wants in life,but getting there hasn’t been easy. Now thirty years old, she has achievedalmost everything she dreamed of as a young girl: A dazzling career, a devotedfan base, and a picture-perfect family—but despite all of this, she is alsopainstakingly bored.That is why, when Dillon receives theopportunity to become the test subject for a time-traveling experiment hostedby JPL’s brand new Center for Experimental Science, she seizes the opportunityto explore La Cañada—and the places she grew up around—without any immediatereservations. In exchange, she can write a brand new memoir both about timetravel and the nearly forgotten experiences that shaped her into the talentedwoman she is today. That is, if she returns.Dillon is soon thrown head-first as an adultspectator into the complicated world of her ten-year-old self—fondly nicknamed Goose—fromher love of helicopters, writing, and all things Elton John, to her unreceptivefourth-grade teacher, Ms. Vincent, her sourly judgemental classmates, and themissed opportunities of a fourth-grade writer with a smothered voice.As she observes the childhood she does notentirely remember, she begins to realize that there are reasons for the holesin her memories—things she must not remember, because if she does, it maybecome impossible to stand back and watch the oil of her bottled-up trauma bepoured into a fire from a distance. And if she goes against the direct ordersof the laboratory, the effects of tampering with a nearly unknown science maypermanently disrupt the fabrics of time, space, and Dillon’s existence.From the teenage author of You Won’t Know HerName, Helipads in Heaven is a deep and heartwarmingadventure of time travel, childhood ambitions, and at the core, a love letterto unique children and those who dare to dream.Purchase link:https://www.amazon.com/Helipads-Heaven-Shanti-Hershenson-ebook/dp/B0C97X49B6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2E564HUJXFRRD&keywords=Helipads+in+Heaven+by+Shanti+Hershenson&qid=1696259960&sprefix=helipads+in+heaven+by+shanti+hershenson%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-1Connectwith Shanti at the following links:https://www.shantihershenson.com/https://www.instagram.com/shantihershenson/?hl=enhttps://www.pinterest.com/shantihershenson/https://www.tiktok.com/@shantiwhowriteshttps://twitter.com/ShantiHersh--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inspirational-journeys/message

What would you do if you crossed paths with a service dog handler? In today’s episode, Joan Patterson and I discuss the different between a service dog and a guide dog. We discuss her latest book and her writing. Sit back and enjoy our inspiring and informative conversation. Career educator, author, and speaker Joan Patterson received a Bachelor of Science in education and business and an associate degree in Bible from Liberty University. More than three decades of multiple sclerosis (MS) have confined Joan to a wheelchair, from which she communicates passionately the life lessons God has taught her through service dog companions Faith and Giles. Joan has spoken to churches, women’s groups, children’s groups, civic groups, schools, nursing homes and professional groups. Joan’s memoire is entitled: A Matter of Faith, Surviving Life’s Crises with Four Wheels, Four Paws, and a Loving God. In this unique memoir, Joan Patterson chronicles her experiences as the human half of an extraordinary homosapien -canine partnership. Adventures ranging from quirky, hilarious, poignant, challenging, but never dull offer fresh perspective on how to survive life’s relentless crises and develop a closer relationship with God. Joan’s hope and prayer in introducing readers to her delightful, devoted canine partner is that each will walk away from these pages with renewed faith and a deeper understanding of a loving heavenly Father who is always there to help his children in time of need.

Seeking first the kingdom of God is important if we want to align with God and follow His plan for our lives., I encourage you to surround yourself with a team of prayer warriors. The passages of scripture I reference throughout today’s episode include: John 15:4–5; Matthew 6:33; and Matthew 6:5–12. I read these verses from the King James Version of the Bible.

Don’t let your limitations or disability keep you from doing the work God has called you to do. In spite of health issues that prevent her from looking at digital screens for long periods of time, my special guest, Christina M. Eder continues to follow her calling to write. She also makes crochet and pray scarves, table runners and blankets . Join us as we discuss her writing process and her crochet and pray projects. The author’s original intention of simply sharing her thoughts and prayers with her Creator, morphed into baring her soul to the world. By reading these personal reflections, I found myself looking for Christina’s typical words of wisdom, while asking myself which ideas I’d like to implement in my life. The more I read, the longer my list became. It was intriguing that Christina concluded her book with the “I Thirst” letter by St. Mother Teresa. Then it dawned on me that she began by sharing 90 days of letters to God and concluded it with a powerful letter that will make you feel like Jesus is talking to you. Reading that in a quiet place, with Kleenex nearby, is highly recommended! Since one of her letters was about the “bookends in the life of Jesus, I wonder if she planned her book to also have bookends. It doesn’t make any difference if you are single, a parent, lover of pets or music, an artist, veteran, blue collar worker, etc., you are certain to find something you can relate to in this. At the same time, you will enjoy her skill of writing “word pictures!” I highly recommend that you read “Knee Deep!” This series of letters to her Creator is amazing for its transparency of thoughts and feelings. It covers a wide range of topics from the simple and mundane to the profound. Christina has a great gift for putting her thoughts and feelings into words; she has a wonderful repertoire of metaphors. It is confessional and inspirational, serious and lighthearted, simple yet wise. I commend Christina for this courageous act of laying bare her soul and mind for the benefit of others. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! All of the books by this author are inspirational, but I especially enjoyed this one. The raw honesty is refreshing. It was an easy read and one that I will keep on my shelf to read again and again. I just purchased a copy to share! Easy to make connections and relevant to many readers. I found myself relating to a number of journal entries. It was almost like she was talking about (or to) me!

Has there ever been a time in your life when you say to God, “I’ve had enough?” I know I have, and my returning guest, Paul Granger talks about a time when he’s felt this way as well. Join us as we discuss how God becomes enough for us and gives us rest to continue on a much deeper and more profound journey than we could ever imagine. Paul's job is "ambassador of Christ"; anything else falls under that call. One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through creating authentic, accessible space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen. This happens through content like the Where did you see God? Podcast and serving with East End Fellowship and YWAM Virginia. He is a husband, father of three, and fan of a good fire pit. Paul’s latest book is entitled I have had enough: How Elijah kept going when he had nothing left to give: “I have had enough, LORD. Take my life.” 1 Kings 19:4 These are not the words of a weak man, but of the great prophet Elijah, who after faithfully serving God and seeing Him work, found himself utterly depleted and hopeless. Can you resonate? Have you tried to serve God, only to find things getting worse? Have you tried to be faithful, only to find your actions misinterpreted? Have you given so much and felt more was taken in return? I have, and it is an utterly demoralizing place to be; yet we can find encouragement in Elijah's story, because the verse above was not the end. This short book takes us through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17-19, where the ups and downs of his difficult invitations from God can help us discern how we can keep going when we have nothing left to give.

I give you two metaphors when you think about the books we love to read and the stories God has given us to share.

Have you ever thought about taking your art to the next level? This week my special guest, Donna Edman, explains how she used her photography to help women over 50 share their advice to their 20-year-old selves and share their stories. Donna is an award-winning portrait photographer with a passion to honor people and encourage them to share their legacy. Her ability to engage with clients helps them feel comfortable and the results are portraits which capture their authentic selves. When Donna is not with clients, she is teaching photography to adults and children. She thinks anyone can learn to develop their “creative eye.” She encourages her students to believe there are things that would be not seen if you didn’t photograph them. Donna and her high-school sweetheart husband live in Fullerton, California. They have two adult children, two adorable grandchildren and two goofy dachshunds. When Donna is not with her clients and students, she’s creating images of architecture, nature and anything else she thinks is beautiful. When she is not creating photos, she’s playing with her family, cycling and swing dancing. Occasionally she sits still long enough to watch art films and read.

When not doing that, she is spending time with her husband and family, playing with her cats or playing games. Althea’s debut novel is entitled Champions of Light. Darkness strangles a kingdom. Can those destined to rule overcome it in time? Runaway Rhoanda, betrayed by her father for arranging her marriage without telling her, should have expected it.

She learns the truth about the Light while trying to hide her identity. Her parents would use her as an excuse to attack this kingdom. Sergeant Vern can’t shake his desire to drink nor his anger at the Lord of Light for letting his sister die young. He continues to work under his alias, but time is running out. A treacherous spring thaw and the Dark endangers the kingdom. Angels weep and shift positions in a mural fulfilling prophecy. Vern must change his view of the Light so he can step into his true role.

In today’s solo episode, I talk about the importance of finishing what you start, because God has a purpose and a plan for our lives. We all have a message to share and when we complete the task God has set before us, He can use our writing for His glory. The passages I used to illustrate my points are: 2 Corinthians 8:10–11; Ephesians 2:10; 3:20–21; and Romans 8: 28–30. All passages of scripture are taken from the King James version of the Holy Bible. My book recommendation is Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done by Jon Acuff.

The Holy Spirit speaks to us through powerful whispers. That’s what my special guest Christa Speath and I discuss, along with her writing process in today’s episode. Be sure to have your journal ready, because there are some golden nuggets you’ll want to walk away from this conversation with. Christa Joy Spaeth is the founder of Christa Joy Ministries. It was founded in 2022 when Minnesota-based author Christa received a compelling message from God. In a prayer cabin called “Whisper,” He prompted her to write a seven-week devotional titled “Powerful Whispers”. Since then, Christa’s eyes, heart, and ears were opened to more whispers, so that she may start fulfilling her new purpose of helping the hurting and share the love of Christ. This blessed wife, mother of two, and businesswoman is passionate about living up to God’s plans for her every day.

Do you connect with the Holy Spirit as you write? Do you find joy in your writing? These are some of the topics my special guest and I discuss in today’s episode
Kyllie currently resides in Redding California with her husband and two children. A New Zealand speaker and author passionate to see the Kingdom
of God fully expressed here on earth. After years of moving from one trial to the next she found joy to new levels and received the oil of gladness for
her mourning. When she's not spending time with her friends and family you'll find her working on her next project and planning their return to New Zealand.
Kyllie Martin thought she’d navigated two decades of suffering well, joyfully even, until God placed her in an environment where she encountered
authentic, attractive, overflowing joy. After witnessing first-hand the strength that joy imparts, she wanted it for herself. So, she asked the Lord to
teach her about His joy. Thus began a two-year journey of study and exploration. In her debut book, Unlimited Joy, Kyllie shares what the Lord taught her
as she traced the theme of joy throughout the Bible and allowed the Holy Spirit to fill her again and again with the joy of the Lord.
As you read, you will discover there’s more to be had than simply getting through life’s challenges with your faith intact. You’ll learn how to:
Overcome despondency and encounter heaven’s joy
Practically activate joy in your life
Facilitate a joy-outbreak in your community, church, and nation!
Jesus wants you to have more than just a little bit of joy. He wants you to experience the fullness of it! Receive it, release it, and be transformed by
the power of supernatural joy.

A Kingdom connection is always orchestrated by the Holy Spirit, especially when the connection is between two like-minded fiction authors. This is what happened when Wendy Jo Cerna appeared as my first guest in my brand new Kingdom Connections interview series. Come join us as God shows us how he can provide the inspiration needed to write life changing fiction that meets people where they are so they can hear the message He has laid on our hearts to advance His kingdom. Born into a family of educators in Minnesota, Wendy Jo Cerna’s love of books and education was inevitable, eventually leading her into the world of theater in college, where she earned a BA in Drama from the University of Washington and later an MS in Psychology from Walden University. After an inspirational nudge, Wendy Jo authored, The Baby-Catcher Gate in 2017, followed by her second fictional work, The Agreements, in 2020. Her most recent novel, Solbakken: A Tale of Generations, is an intriguing story of mystery and generational bonds. Tora, a 65-year-old woman, is wading through an identity malaise on the tail end of the covid era. She is at odds with her daughter and unsure of the impact of her life on a broader scope. A break-in at her grandparents' homestead in far northern Minnesota gives her a cleanup project to sink her teeth into. As she sorts through the mess, she uncovers family secrets that lead her to lines of inquiry with her extended family and further examination of her family tree. All the details begin to fall into place by means of surprising discoveries, vivid dreams, and a strange new neighbor whose history is shrouded in its own layer of mystery.

When writing in the fantasy genre or any of its subgenres such as contemporary fantasy, Urban Fantasy, and Magical Realism, I’ve found that the best to make sure your characters drive your story in a way that satisfies the reader is to create some rules. These rules include rules for ghosts, angels and other spiritual supernatural characters; rules for any team or group of characters who work together for the greater good of your world; rules for unusual characters including magical toys, inanimate objects with special abilities etc.; rules for magic systems; and rules for supernatural or mythical villains. Special shouts go to Caitlin Alexander, author of She’s Still Here: https://www.amazon.com/Shes-Still-Here-Paranormal-Investigator/dp/1957656077/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XMKM8P7UTDA4&keywords=She%27s+Still+Here+by+Caitlin+Alexander&qid=1685716716&sprefix=she%27s+still+here+by+caitlin+alexander%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1 published by Monarch Educational Services: https://monarcheducationalservices.com/ Caitlin gave me the idea for creating rules for the characters and elements of fantasy listed above.

After returning home, Scott struggled with coping with the stresses of combat, the loss of his younger brother, and adjusting back to civilian life. In the years following Scott’s deployment, he noticed other veterans dealing with their struggles in unhealthy ways. Scott started his podcast, Drive On Podcast, to connect with current and prior service members. He interviews veterans and civilians to discuss personal triumphs, life experiences, and emotional hardships to give hope and strength to the military community. Scott lives in Surprise, Arizona, with his wife, Vicki DeLuzio, and their three children.Connect with Scott at the following links:https://driveonpodcast.com/https://twitter.com/scottdeluziohttps://twitter.com/driveonpodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/driveonpodcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/scottdeluzio/https://www.linkedin.com/company/drive-on-podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkO9JA_H1z2A8zbvadyhglQhttps://www.instagram.com/scottdeluzio/https://instagram.com/driveonpodcastIf you’re looking --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inspirational-journeys/message

Today’s guiding Bible verse is Habakkuk 2:2. The part of the verse I hone in on for this episode is “write the vision and make it plain.” As Writers, when God shows us a vision for our writing or our lives, whether it be in dreams, mental images, or symbols from the Bible, we need to write these visions in our journals, so we can follow God’s calling for these visions, even when we don’t know what they mean right away.

Button boxes have buttons, and each individual button has a story to share.

She self-published her first book, The Button Boxes, in 2019, and is currently co-authoring with the University of Idaho president The University President’s Crisis Handbook: How a non-traditional president at the University of Idaho took the institution from near insolvency, a global pandemic, and an internationally followed capital crime to prosperity and sustainable success.

In today’s episode, my special guest, Rio Timberlane and I talked about his writing process, and how he stares at a blank page until he gets into his creative zone. We also discussed how life experiences and the relationships we have with our biological families and the connections we make through our writing groups, clubs and other community building efforts shape the way we write.Rio Timberlane is a Relationship Scientist and Author helping others recognize how their subconscious mind influences their day to day life often causing fear, anxiety and worry.For two decades he has worked with thousands of people helping them reprogram their mindset and rebuild their Belief-Systems to create healthy relationships.This transformational work is now available to the masses in his book The Joy of Lucid Love. It offers a toolset for the reader’s own transformative Paradigm-Shifting adventure into Healthy Human Relatedness. In this book he examines the line between healthy and unhealthy; the Line between Lanes on the Highway of Life, in an easy to understand format.Timberlane’s passion for this work grew out of deep challenges in his own life and his desire to shift the way he related to others. When his internal system of checks and balances finally fell apart, he had to face the fact that his marriage had failed and he was addicted to sex, anger, and control.His whole system of beliefs had gotten twisted up in conflicts between how he grew up, military perspectives, religious teachings and modern philosophies. For Timberlane, this failure was a parallel to nearly flunking High School; at forty years old he had flunked Life. Realizing that controlling himself, to be acceptable to others, had caused his addictive behaviors, he resolved to whitewash his belief system and start all over.His life tragedy set him on course to discover how Paradigm-Shifts happen, and how to intentionally cause them. After cleaning up his own brief system, no longer an addict, now able to remain healthy in virtually all relationship circumstances, free of stress, worry, anxiety, and a host of other emotional ailments, Timberlane sought to develop universal transformative tools others can use in their lives regardless of their background.After twenty years of research and development Timberlane has begun sharing his treasure trove of truths with the world. He now focuses on teaching this new Science and Art along with providing one on one sessions for Clients who seek to make major life transformative changes to their Belief Systems.He is now traveling the world observing various cultures in search of more truths.Visit Rio’s website at:https://www.riowrks.org/Subscribe to my newsletter by filling out the form at the top of my homepage at: https://annwritesinspiration.com.Support this podcast with a monthly donation:https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/supportor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:https://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/message

I share this story to encourage you to ask questions and dig deeper into God’s word and ask questions about the work God has called you to do, whether it be writing or any other type of business.Subscribe to my newsletter by filling out the form at the top of my homepage at: https://annwritesinspiration.com for a free copy of this template and some other freebies I have on my site for email list subscribers.If you’re looking for high quality content editing services at reasonable prices, send queries to theplotstitch@gmail.comVisit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.Support this podcast with a monthly donation:https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/supportor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:https://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/message

Grave a cup of your favorite beverage and come join the fun.Stephanie Cotta hails from beautiful Southern Oregon and resides in a quaint, historic mining town.

Her love of Star Wars and Sci-Fi/fantasy has been undying ever since.

This is a special bonus episode in celebration of Disability Awareness Month. My special guest and I talk about her disability field guide and her multifaceted writing as a whole. Tracee Lydia Garner started out as a poet. Years before entertaining full length novels, poetry allowed her to express feelings about having a disability or life in general and the obstacles and barriers that exist as she tries to make a space in the world. Her poetry has won honorable mentions and has appeared in her campus's literary magazine. In 2001 Tracee took up longer, more dramatic fiction. Her desire to write something longer was first piqued though a story entitled Tides, a romantic love story "still in progress". The website owners invited others to contribute to the story and Tracee decided to give it a try by writing her own spin and how she felt the story should continue. After writing chapters 8 and 9, and later chapters 11 and 12, and having both her contributions posted, Tracee felt as if writing was "it". After writing and submitting the complete story to Tides, she received no information about whether it was a good story ending, neither was it posted, she turned to creating her own stories from start to finish. In 2001 after several attempts at her academics, Tracee entered her story, FAMILY AFFAIRS into the contest and won, changing her passion pursuits and her life. After winning the grand-prize award, receiving an advance, a book contract, a trip to New York to accept her award and most importantly having her work published by BET Books, she sent two more books and managed a book deal with the house. Since then Tracee has gone on to write at least 18 books, with more on the way. She’s a public and motivational speaker, adjunct profession, course creator, and a loves writing more than anything. While her heart will always be in fiction, the genre that changed her life, this year, Tracee penned a book giving people with disabilities, and parents of children with special needs anecdotal advice for their life journey. In Disability: A Field Guide, she’ talks about all of her barriers, hurdles and overcoming challenges faced in finding gainful employment, dealing with the lack of quality, competent caregiving personnel, deciding to drive and the pains of needing to fund and learn expensive adaptive driving equipment for her vehicle and dealing with discrimination, limitations others place on her abilities and emergency planning and so much more. As a public speaker Tracee has facilitated workshops, conferences and other events with the likes of Martin Luther King, III, former secretary of labor, Alexis Herman, former Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education, Judy Heumann, and been a guest for the radio show On A Roll, with late founder and host Greg Smith, a live weekly syndicated commercial radio talk show on life and disability. Tracee’s approach to life and her presentations are filled with lots of humor, fun, real and practical talk that helps people confront their barriers in their own lives, and define a level of success that’s right for them. Additionally she gives parents of special need children, the push, fortitude and encouragement to create an ideal life focused on what their child can do, rather than what they can’t!

I had a delightful conversation with my special guest for this bonus Friday episode. We talked about her book which launched on May 3, 2022 and we touched on her process and the story behind the book. Sit back and enjoy our conversation Ellen grew up in the American Deep South, but with a spirit of adventure, she went up to Toronto, Canada, to go to graduate school, and stayed 50 years. No, she wasn’t a slow student, she just ended up getting married, raising a family, and building a successful career in charitable fundraising. She has been writing for a living for years, but was always writing for someone else. Her grant proposals, direct marketing letters, and especially her thank you letters, are legend. Her persuasive writing skills raised millions of dollars. Those Canadians loved her tales about her southern life so much, she decided to write them down and they became Remember Whose Little Girl You Are. Recently, she moved back down south where she lives on Santa Rosa Sound near Pensacola. And yes, she is now writing about all her Canadian adventures. Remember Whose Little Girl You Are captures the flavor of the Deep South like no author since Eudora Welty or Flannery O'Connor. Ellen Nichols captures the tenor of small-town Southern life in the fifties and sixties, with its vicissitudes and hilarity. One is captured with her openness and drawn deeply into the dialogue-so much as to, according to one reader, sometimes feel guilty of spying. Read it and see if you want those times back-or are just relieved they're gone.

In this week’s bonus episode, I share my biggest takeaways so far from the Kingdom Writer’s Conference Courageous Writers Edition. You’ll want to take some notes, because I share the knowledge I learned about creating a lead magnet to help grow your email list, creating an email list, and collaborating with authors to cross promote each other’s work via newsletter swaps and freebie bundles. However, the first thing I want you to do, before you build your email list, is seek first the kingdom of God and let Him guide you down the path he has already chosen for you. My guiding Bible verse for this episode is Ephesians 2:10 and my book recommendation is Newsletter Ninja: How to become an Author Mailing List Expert written by Tammi Labrecque, which can be purchased at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Newsletter-Ninja-Become-Author-Mailing/dp/B07TXLR4M2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3U8Z1LKHS1A37&keywords=The+Newsletter+Ninja&qid=1663266839&sprefix=the+newsletter+ninja%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-1 I also give shoutouts to two new podcasts I heard about and subscribed to during the conference.

This is a bonus episode to build buzz for my special guest, Debut author Felicia Thai Heath, whose book launches on Tuesday. Grab your favorite snack or drink and come hang out with us as we talk about her writing process and give a few teasers about the inspiration behind the book itself. Felicia Heath is a triple-board-certified critical care anesthesiologist, blogger, and debut author. She spent a month alone in a studio in the heart of Philadelphia to write the original manuscript of Spirit of a Hummingbird: Memories from a Childhood on the Run, just seventy-two hours after delivering her third child. This left her husband with their two-year-old, one-year-old, and newborn as she drank pinot noir and wrote for days on end. All of it was his idea, which is exactly why she tattooed his name across her shoulder and eloped with him on a South African safari six years ago. Felicia now lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and four children. She practices medicine as she anticipates a shift in the universe with the release of her memoir. In Spirit of a Hummingbird, Felicia Thai Heath, the daughter of Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who met in the United States, gives us a disquieting, eventful memoir based on her early childhood on the run with her father—a notorious Vietnamese kingpin and escaped convict—and her conflicted mother. Clever and mature beyond her age, young Felicia experienced poverty and witnessed abuse as her dysfunctional family bounced around in the United States and Canada. Amid all the tumult and terror, she found ways to love her family, educate herself, navigate her world, and discover her potential. Now she must decide how to live with the past—and whether her future can include her father.

In today’s bonus episode, My special guest shares the inspiration behind his children’s book series, One of which he released last month, and the second he launched this past Sunday. Through these books, he strives to educate children about topics pertaining to mental health. In the words of Dr. Dang: “I was born in Vietnam but grew up in Southern California. Our family moved to the sates when I was 7 years old. As an immigrant, I shared the same struggles as many other immigrants with adjusting to a new norm and dealing with bullying, discrimination, and constantly having to self-validate while fighting off depression. Having been in practice for over 10 years as a Family Physician, I have seen more and more visits related to mental health in the clinic for both adults and children. I was motivated to do something to help educated children and help start a dialogue between parents and children about mental health. I figured the best way to help educate is through storytelling.” Dr. Dang’s series is entitled: The Adventures of Max and Friends In this series, we follow Max as he navigates the 6thgrade. He had envisioned the 6th grade to be a great year. But instead, Max finds himself roughed up by his bully and questioning his own identity when he faces multiple setbacks. As the year progressed, Max witnessed his friends overcome their own struggles each growing stronger as a result. In each story, we see that each character faces their own unique challenges from a very different perspective. The topics covered will range from dealing with bullying, understanding learning disabilities, bouncing back from failure, battling anxiety and depression, standing up to discrimination, learning about cyber predators, and coping with the loss of a loved one.

This week I had a lovely conversation with my special guest about her book and the story behind it. I hope you find this conversation as much of a blessing as I did. Sherrie Barch is the CEO of two Forbes’ ranked top executive search firms and a leadership consulting company. An expert in the areas of leadership, team development, and diversity, her forward-thinking approach to work was recognized when she was chosen to participate in the ‘altMBA” program designed and led by leadership guru Seth Godin. Sherrie’s passion for storytelling and making room for serious and “heavy” conversations was a strong motivation for her to write her children’s book Heaven’s Bell based on a story of the same name she penned several years prior. She is currently working on her second book, a business leadership fable designed to help new college graduates navigate the “real life stuff they don’t teach you in school” about career conversations, conflicts, and challenges. Born and raised in Northern Illinois, Sherrie earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in Communication from Western Illinois University.

This week, my special guest and I talk about the gifts God provides and how He invites us into spaces for us to read and hear His Word, process God’s message to us, and respond accordingly. Stick around to the end, for we have a cute little cameo appearance as we wrap up our conversation. When asked who he is, Paul likes to say "a child of God and ambassador of Christ", because he's learned that these elements of his identity supersede and shape the rest. One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through the "shepherding gift": providing pastoral support, creating space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen. Functionally, he has spent the last two decades serving with various ministries, and now serves full time alongside YWAM in loving his neighbors in authentic ways. He also loves to create, whether it is his podcast "Where did you see God", writings, or videos. He loves spending time with his wife and kids, and they see their home -- which God gave them in a crazy way -- as an important piece of how they love their neighbors as a lifestyle. connect with Paul at the following links: www.wheredidyouseeGod.com https://www.facebook.com/wheredidyouseeGod/ https://www.instagram.com/wheredidyouseegod/ If you’re looking for high quality content editing services at reasonable prices, send queries to theplotstitch@gmail.com Visit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.

This week my special guest and I talk about two of my favorite subjects, editing and writing, before we start unpacking her experiences as a publisher and a writer. Grab your favorite beverage and tune into our fun and informative conversation. Kirsten Marion has always been passionate about books and writing. Her background is in English, Classics, and psychology, and her day job is acquiring and publishing high-quality books for children and teens. Kirsten’s featured book is entitled, Lucy & Dee, The Silk Road Description: Lucy wants an adventure. Dee needs money to help him find his missing parents. When a flaming bird leads them to a hidden road, and the lord of stone offers them a quest, the opportunity for both arises. In a land full of magic, dragons, and demons, all they have to do is befriend a young emperor―which would be a lot easier if he wasn't a royal pain and an angry queen didn't want to destroy him. Soon they're running for their lives with the entitled ruler in tow. Lucy and Dee must find a way home with a mysterious feather and a dragon-whisperer (who looks suspiciously like a hedgehog) their only defense against capture...or worse.

This week, My special guest and I talk about writing briefly, but I pick her brain about editing, which is one of the things I’m finding that I love to do. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and come hang out with us as we talk all things editing and a little about writing. Kelly Martin lives in a possibly haunted house in a small southern town. While she'd like to say paranormal things have only happened to her at her home, it would be a lie... She is an active member of the Horror Writers Association and an international #1 best selling author in horror, paranormal, contemporary, historical, young adult, and mysteries. All of Kelly's books have one thing in common-- imagine the real world is tilted slightly on its side. You don't really know what's going on, what's missing, but there is a tilt, a hum you can barely hear, telling you that something is off.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to a composer of soothing instrumental music, of whom I have become a fan. Sit back, relax, and eavesdrop on or conversation as my special guest shares the story of how “Rachel’s song” touches the lives of so many people, including me. Dave Combs is a songwriter, entrepreneur, successful business executive, and best-selling author. Over the past four decades he has written over 120 songs and created fifteen albums of soothing, relaxing instrumental piano music, including the popular standard, Rachel’s Song. His music has been played millions of times on radio, satellite, and all internet streaming media. He is the author of the bestselling book, Touched by the Music. The book is about an inspired (some say anointed) song, the man who wrote it, the successful music business that grew from it, and the millions of people whose lives continue to be touched by Dave’s peaceful music and his uplifting stories. Best-selling author, Jack Canfield, says this about Dave: "Not only is he the composer of some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard, but he is a man of faith and has the heart of someone wanting to make a difference in this world. And he is a great storyteller and writer." In his book, Dave Combs brings to life his amazing journey through his own personal, captivating, and inspiring stories. Dave grew up in Erwin, a small town in East Tennessee, and now he and his wife Linda make their home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

This week, I have a special treat for you. Stick around to the end of the episode to hear an excerpt from my special guest’s debut novel, read by the author herself. Deirdre Sinnott is an author, researcher, and activist for social change. She grew up in Utica, New York, and graduated from Syracuse University. Sinnott speaks nationally about the role of Central New York’s residents in the abolition of slavery. She is a historical consultant for the Fort Stanwix Underground Railroad History Project, funded by the National Park Service. The Third Mrs. Galway is her first novel. The Third Mrs. Galway is a historical novel sent in Utica in 1835. The action begins when a young bride discovers an enslaved family hiding in her shed, setting in motion the exhumation of long-buried family secrets. Suddenly, she is at the center of not only the era’s greatest moral dilemma, but her own as well. Should she be a “good wife” and report the fugitives to her husband? Or will she defy convention and come to their aid. The novel won The Writers Lounge 2021 Bookshelf Award and was chosen by the Women’s National Book Association as one of their 2021 Great Group Reads.

Sit back, relax, watch and listen as Max shares his journey from carnival kid to blogger, author, and podcast host. Maxwell Ivey grew up in a family of carnival owners. He started losing his vision to retinitis pigmentosa at an early age becoming legally blind by junior high school and totally blind by the time he graduated from college. He did graduate from traditional schools, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, and worked in the family business until his dad’s death forced the closure of their small show. Needing something new he started helping people sell surplus rides. He had to learn so much including how to hand code html, recruit clients, set fees, build an email list, manage social media, and more. People were inspired by his willingness to take on difficult challenges and encouraged him to share more about being a blind entrepreneur. That lead to a second site as the blind blogger, with three books out so far and a fourth due any time. He’s promoted himself through podcast interviews appearing on over 200 shows as well as public speaking where he has shared his inspiring story with local organizations and national conferences.

My special guest shares her passion for teaching children with learning disabilities how to read. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our lively conversation about reading in its many forms. Lois Letchford’s dyslexia came to light at the age of 39, when she faced teaching her seven-year-old non-reading son, Nicholas. Examining her reading failure caused her to adapt and change lessons for her son. The results were dramatic. Lois qualified as a reading specialist to use her non-traditional background, multi-continental experience and passion to assist other failing students. Her teaching and learning have equipped her with a unique skill set and perspective. As a teacher, she considers herself a “literacy problem-solver.” Reversed: A Memoir is her first book. In this story, she details her dyslexia and the journey of her son’s dramatic failure in first grade. She tells of the twist and turns that promoted her passion and her son’s dramatic academic turn-a-round - as in 2018 he received his Ph.D. Reversed: A Memoir can be purchased at the following link: https://amzn.to/31KZwHL Connect with Lois at the following links: https://www.loisletchford.com/ https://www.facebook.com/loiseletchford/ https://twitter.com/LetchfordLois https://www.linkedin.com/in/loisletchford/ Visit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.

This week, my special guest describes how she honored her mother and kept her legacy alive by completing her novel and getting it published. I’ve included Emily’s bio and that of her mother, because they wrote the book together in a way. Marilyn was born in Southern California but spent her formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area with her parents and older sister. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Sociology and received an advanced degree in Elementary Education. After moving with her husband to Aspen, Colorado Marilyn spent the next 20 years as a public-school teacher and elementary education consultant and lecturer. She and her family moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina in 1996 and shortly thereafter was diagnosed with breast and advanced ovarian cancer. She began writing The Bird of Paradise as a life gift for her daughter, Emily. She passed away in 2012 leaving the novel unfinished – for Emily to complete. Emily was born in Aspen, Colorado where she enjoyed skiing, dancing ballet and playing golf. At the age of 13, she and her family moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina. She attended UNC-Chapel Hill and graduated with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with a concentration in Public Relations. She currently resides in Raleigh, North Carolina with her husband and son. Emily enjoys playing golf, running, kickboxing, reading, and spending time with her family. Finishing her mother’s work has been one of the greatest honors of her life.

This week, we’re celebrating the launch of her new novella entitled Dial E for endearment.

She believes in bringing a reader into the awareness of who God is to them and how He interacts with them on a personal level. She does this by crafting characters so relatable you feel part of who they are. Heidi reaches deep into the reader’s heart through masterfully written words and offers ways toward healing by seamlessly applying God’s Word throughout her stories. Heidi is an optimist who chooses to find the silver lining in life’s clouds of doubt. She lives with her husband of thirty years near Charlotte, NC. When she isn’t writing, you will find her outside playing with her two grandsons, walking, scrapbooking, reading, cooking, traveling, or finding an excuse to have an outing with a girlfriend.

This week, my special guest and I discuss her writing process, how she got started writing and podcasting and she gives a few tips to help you as you walk your path to becoming a published author and a podcaster. Porscha Anne Aubrey is a teenage indie author that resides in Canada. Her dream is to be able to make a living from her writing as well as her podcast, Creative Writing Club. One of her other goals is to start her own charity where she gives out scholarships to students even if their grades aren’t the best. That’s mainly important to her because she believes that a student can have the drive to get a higher education but still be unable to get amazing grades due to their at-home life. Her other goal is to start her own publishing company and call it ‘Creative Writing Club,’ mainly just to go along with the brand of CWC that she’s been using for so long, like when she started her own magazine. For her entire life, Porscha has always enjoyed writing. From writing short stories, to poems, to scripts, and even starting some novel projects, she has worked hard on improving her craft. Though it wasn’t till the start of ninth grade that she decided to take it more seriously and began writing ‘Deathchill.’ Now the entire Deathchill trilogy is complete, and she has moved on to other projects. With the hopes that being an author is what she’s meant to do, Porscha will continue to work hard and write towards her future. Porscha’s featured book is entitled Deathchill Description: Lexus Deathchill is a young teenage girl living in 6078, during her life she has to face the expectations of the people around her, the powers that consume her, relationships, heartbreaks, team battles, highs, lows and the blessings from the gods as well as demons. Will she be able to make it through her years or will she succumb to the powers deep inside her?

This week, my special guest and I share our common love of poetry. Read Garry’s bio in his own words. As an educator, poet and runner I am a lifer. I have the blessed opportunity to create new works and compete in my sport (Track & Field) in my upcoming 80thtrip around our Sun. I believe writing is precursor to thought, not the other way around. Poetry is an invitation to advance our thinking and deepen our feelings about the world we live in. It is a sharing of truths, your truth, my truth, the truth of our human experience. A good poem will celebrate these truths with a style and grace that exists in every tongue spoken on our planet.

This week, my special guest shares her story of having to fight to get her youngest daughter out of the hands of the Department of Social Services, and how she supports other parents going through similar nightmarish situations. After a 30-year career in business development, Susan lives with her husband and four small dogs on an acre outside a small town in Texas. As both an author and poet, Susan’s goal is to inspire others to live a life that’s present and active in this world, yet shaped by forces that lie beyond it. Susan’s books and poetry illustrate her struggles and triumphs as she endeavors to walk by faith and not by sight, leaning on the Holy Spirit for guidance and inspiration in living and writing. Susan’s featured book is entitled Wheels of Injustice: Saving My Child from the Child Savers Description: Six weeks into a blissful honeymoon, life turns into a nightmare when Susan’s 9-year-old daughter is taken away and her husband is falsely accused of child sexual abuse. As her own and other families throughout the country are crushed under its wheels, Susan musters the strength and the will to battle a behemoth system that has become the very thing it was created to eradicate. Wheels of Injustice is the true story of one woman’s fight against a powerful system that’s run amok, grinding families into dust, obliterating Amendment protections, and taking revenge against anyone who attempts to reform it. It’s the 1980s—a decade of unfounded abuse accusations, hysterical claims of orgies at daycare centers, families controlled by courts, and an out-of-control child protection system. A tribute to God's faithfulness and a message of hope to others who have struggled to overcome adversity, fight governmental intrusion and overreach, and turn an upended life the right way around again. “We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer Purchase link: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FKL7KJM Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/wheels-of-injustice-susan-louise-gabriel/1140196543?ean=2940165029691 Kobo https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/wheels-of-injustice Connect with Susan at the following links: Author website: https://susanlouisegabriel.com Author blog: https://soulsonshine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/susan.gabriel.731/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GodlyOddball Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanlouisegabriel/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-louise-gabriel-25714214/ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/20218467.Susan_Louise_Gabriel The Spirit of Creativity: Inspirational Poems for the Creative at Heart is available in eBook, Audiobook and Paperback formats: https://books2read.com/TheSpiritOfCreativity Support this podcast with a monthly donation: https://anchorlfm/inspirational-journeys/support or you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at: https://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?locale.x=en_US

Jodi Artzberger introduces herself in her own words. I'm a Christ follower who lives in beautiful Colorado with my wonderful husband, two awesome boys, and rescue pups. I write inspirational Christian romantic suspense stories that are Gospel centered and intertwined with God's love and plan of redemption. Without the Gospel, we're powerless!
I have a passion for the Word. I love to study the Bible, especially with my kids! I'm also a homeschool mom and love most minutes of it. When time allows, you can find me cooking and playing with my latest kitchen gadget. (But I hate ironing and I could really use a laundry fairy.)
I pray my writing inspires, makes you smile, and teaches you something about Christ and His love. Remember, if you can you read, you can learn anything!
God bless! Soli Deo Gloria!

The Holy Spirit orchestrated today’s audio/video podcast episode. Join me as I discuss how God blesses us with the gift of storytelling to minister to the world, with my special guest, Heidi Gray McGill. Heidi writes Christian Fiction. Her stories are engaging, uplifting, clean, and full of adventure.

Today I’m so excited to be speaking with one of my all-time favorite Christian romance authors! Please join me as I have a conversation about the writing process, character development and research with special guest Robin Le Hatcher. Robin Lee Hatcher is the author of 85 novels and novellas with over six million copies of her books in print. Her well-drawn characters and heartwarming stories of faith, courage, and love have earned her both critical acclaim and the devotion of readers. Her numerous awards include the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction, the RITA® Award for Best Inspirational Romance, Romantic Times Career Achievement Awards for Americana Romance and for Inspirational Fiction, the Carol Award, the 2011 Idahope Writer of the Year, and Lifetime Achievement Awards from both Romance Writers of America® (2001) and American Christian Fiction Writers (2014). Catching Katie was named one of the Best Books of 2004 by the Library Journal. Robin began her writing career in the general market, writing mass market romances for Leisure Books, HarperPaperbacks, Avon Books, and Silhouette. In 1997, Robin felt called to write stories of faith and hasn’t looked back since. She has written both contemporary and historical women’s fiction and romance for CBA publishers (Thomas Nelson, Zondervan, Revell, Steeple Hill, Tyndale House, Multnomah, and WaterBrook). When not writing, Robin enjoys being with her family, spending time in the beautiful Idaho outdoors, Bible art journaling, reading books that make her cry, watching romantic movies, and decorative planning. She makes her home on the outskirts of Boise, sharing it with a demanding Papillon dog and a persnickety tuxedo cat.

Paul Attaway was born and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Paul and his wife, Lyn, met in college at Georgetown University and were married after Paul graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law. They moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1988 where Paul embarked on a short legal career before starting a thirty-year business career before retiring so he could write fiction. Paul and Lyn raised three children together in Phoenix and now split their time between Phoenix, Arizona, Charleston, South Carolina, and most recently, McCall, Idaho. Blood in the Low Country is Paul Attaway's debut novel. Writing this book, along with the move to Charleston, is a coming home of sorts, a return to the South.

What is the character’s goal in your story? But, the fear or flaw keeping your character from achieving his or her goal And, in walks the villain to turn your MC’s world upside down in each paradigm shift So, Your MC must conquer the fear or flaw holding her back and confront the villain to achieve her goal Or, lose everything, including her life, depending on your genre.

In today’s audio/video episode, My special guest and I talk about books, writing and more. Sit back, relax and eavesdrop on my conversation with M. Michelle Derosier as wee talk about two of our favorite topics, Jesus and Writing. Michelle loves Jesus and is fueled by black coffee, espresso, and freshly baked goods. Sadly, she’s not skilled at making any of the three. She writes culturally diverse stories from picture books to novels and shares an assortment of Haitian-American tales that are overlooked in the mainstream. Michelle’s featured book is entitled Accepting Elijah’s Heart. The information is as follows: Description: He’s a former bad boy learning to forgive his past mistakes. She’s a grieving widow struggling with motherhood. A life-altering event offers them hope for a better future together. Elijah Cooper grew up in church but without a relationship with God. Something he didn’t think he needed until he did. When Eli offers Reina support in a crisis, a friendship develops that could blossom to more. But with his troubled past, he is not interested in a love match or a ready-made family. After her husband’s untimely death, Reina Blackwell can’t trust the ground she walks on not to crumble beneath her. She’s certainly no longer trusting the God who created it. Not after he shatters her world leaving her alone to mourn and raise her son. With scars too deep to heal on their own, can Eli and Reina find the faith they need to give and receive love?

Randy Ingermanson wants to teach you how to write excellent fiction.
He’s been teaching for more than twenty years, and he’s known around the world as "the Snowflake Guy" in honor of his wildly popular Snowflake Method of writing a novel.
Randy is an award-winning novelist and publishes the free monthly Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine. He says that "Fiction Writing = Organization + Craft + Marketing," so he focuses on those three topics in his e-zine.
He also blogs when the spirit moves him. He is trying to get the spirit to move him weekly, but the spirit gets touchy about schedules.
Randy lives in the Pacific Northwest and works as a manservant to two surly and demanding cats. Visit Randy at AdvancedFictionWriting.com. Today’s featured book is entitled: How to Write a Novel Using the Snowflake Method Description Are you writing a novel, but having trouble getting your first draft written?
Take a look at the wildly popular Snowflake Method—ten battle-tested steps that jump-start your creativity and help you quickly map out your story. All around the world, novelists are using the Snowflake Method right now to ignite their imaginations and get their first drafts down. The Snowflake Method is a magical key to unlock your creative wizard. This book is written as a “business parable,” which means it’s a book about a nonfiction topic, but it’s written in story form. The story features a young woman named Goldilocks who desperately wants to write a novel. She goes to a writers conference, and there she takes classes from three bears. Papa Bear teaches outlining, but Goldilocks finds that too rigid. Mama Bear teaches “organic writing,” but Goldilocks finds that too squishy. Baby Bear teaches the Snowflake Method. Will Goldilocks find it to be just right? Yes, this is a very zany story. That’s the point. The zaniness of the story will help lock the principles deep inside your head. Because story does that. You remember stories longer. Especially zany stories. Have fun!

Claire O’Sullivan has been on the show before, to talk about her writing process. Here is her bio in her own words: I’m a mom and grandmother. When my husband and I married, he already had 2 kids and 2 grandkids, and I already had my son, so I became an instant grandmother as well with the largest family on the face of the earth. ((What was funny at my wedding, I didn’t wear my glasses, well, because, who wants to, right? So we’re walking down the aisle and I see all of these folks crowding one side. I’d met my husband’s family at a Thanksgiving dinner, and there were at least fifty family members and their spouses, so going down the aisle I thought, wow, I knew his family was big but… Well, I’d lost my mom and dad years back, and so my son was with me, but no one else. And when I finally put my glasses on, my entire church had turned out and filled up the pews. It was pretty phenomenal. And funny.)) So I retired officially in 2018 though I’d closed my office quite a bit earlier, got our youngest son and his wife to move into the house while we remodeled and put in a mother-in-law studio, which is quite cozy for us. And we get to see our kids. Besides writing, reading, and drinking coffee, I love to garden. My husband says I am low maintenance because I am always reading or writing… never grabbing the remote. We live in rural Southern Oregon weathering the changes. I started writing in 8th grade with the encouragement of a teacher, and she suggested I get into journalism and creative writing in high school, which I did. My folks were old fashioned and they were firm: no writing, no archeology, no wildlife biology. So I became a nurse, and got married, had a son, and life sort of happened. I wrote a novel in 1989 but never got serious about sending it off, and that was a thriller. Then I went off to grad school and became a nurse practitioner, opened my own office, and didn’t start writing until 2012, and that’s when I started Romance Under Wraps. Claire’s debut novel is entitled, Romance Under Wraps and can be purchased on her website at: https://www.claireosullivan1.com/ or on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Romance-Under-Wraps-Claire-OSullivan-ebook/dp/B08MB43BSL/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2IMRWCOCRINH6&dchild=1&keywords=romance+under+wraps+claire+o%27sullivan&qid=1613957359&sprefix=romance+under+wraps%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-2 To Watch the book trailer, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3mS-lsXv1s Listen to Claire’s previous interview: https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/episodes/Special-Guest-interview-with-Claire-OSullivan-e44urm Connect with Claire at the following links: Website: https://www.claireosullivan1.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorclaire1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/ authorclaire1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorclaire1 USA.life at https://usa.life/claireosullivan Gab: https://gab.com/authorclaire1 To register for the WWJ conferences, visit: https://linktr.ee/wwjs Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support

Teresa Guffanti is a child of the Most High God. Teresa was born and raised in South Florida; however, she now resides in Dallas Texas, where she currently is the Host and Author of Struggling Blessed but Not Alone Podcast and blog. Theresa’s life has been a struggle in every way and in every decade. No matter the struggles of life. Teresa has a Can-Do Attitude living on the bible verse that states You can do all things with Christ who strengthens you. Philippians 4:13. At the age of 11 she was diagnosed with a child’s form of Macular degeneration called Stargardt’s. People in her life may not have believed in her but that did not stop her. For she knew God created her for a greater purpose. Therefore, she had determined at a young age She would do great things and make a difference in this world. Teresa may be almost totally blind, but her vision loss does not define her. It has taught her how to reinvent herself as her life changes. At the age of 14, while attending school, she embarked upon a career path, filling her life with a variety of jobs, from a general worker to having various leadership roles such as Team leader, supervisor, office manager-Store Manager, customer service rep and manager, business owner and partner. She has also found time to engage her life with many community services, holding leadership roles such as president, director, general adviser and committee adviser in these activities. Teresa has always found time to help change the lives of others and support causes she holds dear to her heart. Teresa graduated high school and received her childcare certificate in 1989. She earned her personal training certification in 1998. This path of education was not a straight shot like most people have. Years later, God gave her an Opportunity to go back to school and show the world she is able to do All Things with God on her side. In 2008 she earned her AA degree at Broward Community college with honors, and received her bachelor’s degree in accounting at Florida Atlantic University in 2012. Throughout her life, she had to find places to help her learn how to navigate her life changing eye disease. She received training in the areas of Cane travel, braille, assistive technology and independent living. Her thirst for knowledge has inspired her to pursue her master’s degree in seminary and motivational speaking, Teresa Has started a Focus Group called Sharing Insights To better help her low vision and blind peers. She is working on writing her life story, showing The WORLD that GOD LIVES IN AND THROUGH HER Romans 8:28.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy my engaging conversation with my audiobook narrator Lillian Yves and her collaborative partner Vincent Lee Grayson. Half of the podcast is my interview with my guests, and the second half is the audiobook launch party itself. The narrator bios are as follows: LEEANNE ROWE/ LILLIAN YVES Originally from Oklahoma, and a graduate of AMDA in NYC, LeeAnne eventually made her way to SoCal. She likes to say she is from the East, West, and somewhere in the middle. She is a #1 best selling narrator on Amazon, an after school Drama teacher for the LAUSD and has been performing around California for over 15 years. She is a published author, co-writing novels under the name LeeAnne Hansen and a children's book, All Things I can do under Lilly Rowe. GRAYDON SCHLICHTER/VINCENT LEE GRAYSON Graydon boldly declared at the age of five that he would "make Books on Tape" someday. Five year old Graydon would be very pleased to see that grown up(ish) Graydon has made good on the vow. Partnering with Lilly might be a bit more distressing to the lad since the younger version knew for a fact that "girls have cooties!" Still, a sacrifice worth making in the name of art! Although a stage actor and sound designer, for now those passions are on hold, all the better to focus on audiobooks.

Today’s interview was recorded in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness month. Read on to learn more about my special guest. LTC (Ret.) Sue Parisher served twenty-one honorable years on active duty, living a double life of capability and accomplishment in the service while enduring brutality and abusiveness in her twenty-year oppressive marriage. The constant need to relocate due to Army orders every few years definitely contributed to her abuser’s ability to weaken her defenses against him. The atmosphere of military masculinity of the time and her daughter’s diagnosis of leukemia continually added gasoline to the horrors of her world. Today, Sue is happily married to a wonderful Christian man whose children and family have overwhelmingly welcomed her into their world. She has three unbelievable children who have been her inspiration and motivation during all these trying times. Her daughter’s cancer has been in remission for 15 years. Sue’s book is entitled Rock Bottom and Faithless: Defeating the Lies of Domestic Abuse with God’s Truth Purchase link: https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Bottom-Faithless-Defeating-Domesticebook/dp/B07W4X7WXP/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3MWTURH7OZ4B7&dchild=1&keywords=rock+b ottom+and+faithless&qid=1593359606&sprefix=rock+bottom+and+faith%2Caps%2C186&sr=8 -2 Connect with Sue at the following links: https://www.recoveringfromdomesticviolence.com/ https://www.facebook.com/SueParisherAuthor/ To subscribe to my newsletter and receive a free short story, please fill out my google form at: https://forms.gle/x8gtvDgqH56Zc3bt9 My poetry book entitled The Spirit of Creativity: Inspirational Poems for the Creative at heart can be purchased in a variety of eBook formats wherever books are sold.

Ellwyn Autumn is an American author/blogger and a certified teacher with a Master's Degree in Education. She writes children's picture books, middle-grade novels, and Young Adult fiction. Ellwyn's first self-published novel, Chris Kringle's Cops The First Mission, was a Finalist in the 2016 Reader's Favorite International Book Contest. Her Kamyla Chung picture book series addresses difficult issues facing young children. Kamyla Chung and the Classroom Bully is on Jedlie's Certified Great Reads List, earned Story Monster Approval as well as Mom’s Choice Awards Gold Medal. Ellwyn discovered her passion for writing in second grade when she had to write a book report for school. She was so excited to write the report, until her mother told her that she had to write about someone else's book and not her own story. Ellwyn became indignant and decided that once she finished the book report, she would most certainly write her own original story. She has been writing ever since! Ellwyn lives with her family in Pennsylvania. She loves all things magical, curling up with a good book, writing stories, and almost anything with chocolate in it. You can purchase her latest book entitled Teddy Bear Tea at: https://www.amazon.com/Teddy-Bear-Tea-Ellwyn-Autumn-ebook/dp/B08HKF2XFB/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1599827365&sr=8-1 Connect with Ellwyn at the following links: https://www.ellwynautumn.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ellwynautumnauthor/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRBbmeghJYUgldeJmal4TkA?view_as=subscriber https://www.instagram.com/ellwynautumn/ To subscribe to my newsletter and receive a free short story, please fill out my google form at: https://forms.gle/x8gtvDgqH56Zc3bt9 My poetry book entitled The Spirit of Creativity: Inspirational Poems for the Creative at heart can be purchased in a variety of eBook formats wherever books are sold.

To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is intent on seeing Penelope fired, especially if she insists on being seen with Tucker Westbrook. Since returning from serving two tours in the Middle East, Tucker has built a thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his friendship with Penelope, who has been by his side since childhood. But when the lone candidate for county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the ballot--and on the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the Westbrooks were traitors to the South. To clear his name, Tucker and Penelope must join forces to find the truth behind a 150-year-old lost treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to losing her job--and falling helplessly in love.

Carol award winner Suzanne Woods Fisher writes stories that take you to places you’ve never visited—one with characters that seem like old friends. But most of all, her books give you something to think about long after you’ve finished reading it. With over one million copies of her books sold worldwide, Suzanne is the best-selling author of more than thirty books, ranging from non-fiction books, to children’s books, to novels. She lives with her very big family in northern California. Suzanne’s new book is entitled: On a Coastal Breeze (book 2 of ‘Three Sisters Island’ series) Description: For Madison Grayson, life is good. Newly licensed as a marriage and family therapist, she can’t wait to start her practice. Despite the unfortunate shortage of eligible bachelors on the island—they’re all too young, too old, or too weird—Maddie feels like she’s finally found her sweet spot. Not even one panic attack in the last year. Not one. And then Ricky O’Shea drops in. Literally. Floating down from the pure blue sky, the one man in the world she hoped never to see again—the one who’d been her archnemesis from kindergarten through her senior dance—parachutes into town, landing on Boon dock, canopy draping behind him like a superhero. Ricky O’Shea. Now Pastor Rick, the new minister on Three Sisters Island. Time to panic.

Bethany Turner is the award-winning author of The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck and Wooing Cadie McCaffrey and the director of administration for Rock Springs Church in Southwest Colorado. A former bank executive and a three-time cancer survivor (all before she turned 35), Bethany knows that when God has plans for your life, it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say. Because of that, she's chosen to follow his call to write. She lives with her husband and their two sons in Colorado, where she writes for a new generation of readers who crave fiction that tackles the thorny issues of life with humor and insight. Bethany’s featured book is entitled, Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish Description: Get ready for a heaping helping of humor, romance, and second chances
Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show, To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel's other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.
When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum and is sent packing, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public's good graces is to work alongside Hadley. As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love.
In the meantime, hide the knives.

Melissa Kosci is a fourth-degree black belt in and certified instructor of Songahm Taekwondo. In her day job as a commercial property manager, she secretly notes personal quirks and funny situations, ready to tweak them into colorful additions for her books. She and Corey, her husband of twenty years, live in Florida, where they do their best not to melt in the sun. A Dream Within a Dream, the third book in the Coffey and Hill series cowritten by Mike Mike Nappa and Melissa Kosci. Description: He may be the key to solving one of the greatest unsolved art heists in history
Trudi Coffey hasn't seen Samuel Hill in weeks. Then the FBI shows up asking about him. After a strange encounter with an armed man demanding her help and an attack by a member of the Boston mob looking for someone named Dream, Trudi manages to find Samuel--or rather, he finds her. He's made some pretty powerful enemies, but right now his full attention is on protecting Dream from the mob. Because Dream has something they want--the map to the location of artwork stolen from the Gardner Museum during the infamous 1990 heist.
With danger closing in from all sides, Trudi and Samuel will have to call on all their allies to keep Dream safe and discover the identities of the people who have been hunting down Samuel. The real questions are, whom can they trust? And who will make it out of this alive?

Elizabeth Goddard is the bestselling author of more than forty books, including Never Let Go, Always Look Twice, and the Carol Award-winning The Camera Never Lies. Her Mountain Cove series books have been finalists in the Daphne du Maurier Awards and the Carol Awards. Goddard is a seventh-generation Texan and can be found online at www.elizabethgoddard.com. Her latest release is entitled Don’t Keep Silent. Description: Investigative reporter Rae Burke will do anything to find her missing sister-in-law, even if it means facing Liam McKade, a man who almost lost his life saving hers. A former DEA agent, Liam thought he could find peace at his Wyoming ranch, but he just doesn't feel at home anywhere anymore. When the reporter who blew his cover on an important investigation inserts herself back into his life, he's less than thrilled. But Rae's keen investigative skills have led her down the right path--and directly into the dragon's mouth--leaving Liam no choice but to protect her. As the danger increases, the past they both tried to flee catches up to them, along with the feelings they once had for each other. Bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard plunges you into a fast-paced, high-stakes story of honor, forgiveness, and justice.

Shawn Smucker is the award-winning author of Light from Distant Stars, the young adult novels The Day the Angels Fell and The Edge of Over There, and the memoir Once We Were Strangers. He lives with his wife and six children in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. You can find him online at www.shawnsmucker.com. His latest novel, which comes out today, is entitled These Nameless Things Description: Before Dan opened his door to find a wounded woman who had escaped from the tormentors in the mountain, his life had become rather quiet. He and the eight other people in the mostly abandoned town had become friends. They spent peaceful evenings around the campfire and even made vague plans to journey east one day and leave the ominous mountain behind.
But the woman's arrival changes everything. Who is she? How does she know so much about Dan's brother, who is still held captive in the mountain? Why are long-forgotten memories rising to the surface? And why does Dan feel so compelled to keep her presence in his house a secret?

Denise Brixey grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, where she studied writing. During her many years of living in a big city from birth into adulthood, she had more than her share of challenges. When she left the big city life to move up to a small town in the Gold Country, Denise volunteered at a cat rescue. She soon discovered that, while she was working to save them, it was she who was magically being rescued by the cats! Felines have been a meaningful part of Denise’s world ever since: starring in blogs, social media pages, and currently, her new book series. Although he’s been physically absent for years, the original Harry, a.k.a. Monkeyface, continues to magically impact her life through his teleportation that continues to fuel Denise’s passion for writing and love for her cats. Harry will live forever, so Denise started her series, Harry, the Wonder Cat, to share all his antics and spread meaning and joy to the lives of readers. Her latest book is entitled, Harry the Wonder Cat: The Jamaican Mission Harry the Wonder Cat: The Jamaican Mission In Harry the Wonder Cat: The Jamaican Mission, Harry is back in action after receiving another special assignment from the Cat King. He has been tasked with finding out who killed Marianne Johnson in 1929. At that time, Marianne had just gotten married in Jamaica to Nikki’s Great Uncle Frank, Harry’s then charge in the line of the Johnson family. Following Marianne’s death on their honeymoon, Frank spent the rest of his life trying to solve the mystery as to who killed her. Now he is unable to be at rest and needs Harry’s help, since he has the limitations brought on by being a ghost. To accomplish this mission, Harry needs to go back to the Hailey House B&B where Marianne died. Using his powers, and the cunning of his cat gang, he convinces Nikki, and her friend and housemate Heather, to vacation in Jamaica. Once there, Harry rounds up some Jamaican cats–and even a dog gets involved–to help him solve the mystery. The leader of the beach cat gang is a beautiful petite cat named Luna, who may be the solution to more than one mystery.

Today’s writing prompt is more about your reflections, rather than creating a new piece from scratch, so you’ll need your journals for this one. Write down your thoughts and reflections during this 30-day writing/creative challenge. What did you learn about yourself and your family during this challenge and what did you love about it. Put your responses to each day's prompts together and either publish them as an eBook on Amazon, Smashwords, Draft2Digital or whatever free self-publishing platform you choose to use, create a scrapbook or slideshow for your friends and family, or if you chose to create videos, put them together as a play list on YouTube and share the link to your playlist on social media.

Carla Vergot taught special education in Virginia for years before taking a sabbatical to write her first book— Lily Barlow: The Mystery of Jane Dough. The experience was fulfilling, and while she missed touching the lives and minds of elementary school kids, she decided to resign from teaching permanently in order to write the second book in the series — Lily Barlow: The Mystery in the Mangroves — which was released in March, 2020. Carla recycles, gardens, and rescues bugs. For fun, she loves to travel, camp, fish and drive her Jeep off road. Her favorite food is a homegrown tomato on white bread with Duke’s mayonnaise. Her favorite dessert is a marshmallow on a stick by a campfire with friends. She lives with her husband and two rescue dogs in Virginia and is working on Lily Barlow 3 now.

Todays episode is two-fold. First of all, I discuss my goal and my progress during the first half of camp NaNoWriMo for the month of April. I also encourage parents to consider enrolling their children in the NaNoWriMo young writers program, if they show an interest in writing and/or storytelling. If you’d like to enroll your child(ren) in the young writers program, you may do so at the following link: https://ywp.nanowrimo.org/ The second part of this episode is the writing prompt of the day. If you could go anywhere in the world we live in, or if you could fly away to a fantasy or faery tale world, where would you go and how would you get there? Write a story about your journey to your chosen destination. What problems do you or your characters face along the way?

In today’s episode, I discuss three ways writers can repurpose dumped scenes from their fiction. The tips are as follows: 1. Dump unnecessary scenes into groups, according to a side character’s backstory or plot sequence. 2. Place scene groups in separate documents for future use. 3. Rework scene groups for publication as single books to promote your novel. You can also publish them as a collection later on.

Her book is entitled, Echoes and Whispers: Haiku for NaNo Writers Description: Ignite your muse and STOP staring at a blank screen. Echoes and Whispers haiku for NANO writers paints a brief, though vivid picture written in the simplicity of a 5-7-5 format.

Today’s episode is a book review of The Perfect Wife by JP Delaney.

You can purchase The Perfect Wife at the following link:

Lyric Harper, musical genius, is about to embark on her senior year at the most prestigious arts school in the world nestled right in the pines of North Carolina. Harmonic Arts Center, this hidden gem of talent and artistry, has another mission than to equip talented young musicians with the heart for greatness but to test and develop their inner spirit to bring out their mythological nature. Seven youth are selected for an early admittance summer program under the guise of performing at the opening showcase in the fall. They are called for a greater purpose and shapeshift, train, and work as one flock to combine their gifts to defeat the creatures threatening to cross the Harmonic Bridge into our world. Birds of a feather fly and rock together in this new MG Contemporary Fantasy set in 1985.

Thea Ramsay has been a Christian for a long time. As a member of the Baptist Denomination, she has undergone the believer’s baptism twice—the first time at the age of fourteen, the second time in the Pacific Ocean off Maui, with her late husband.
She started writing before she could spell. She still remembers writing a short story in which she spelled magic “M-A-D-J-I-K.”
She’s also a voracious reader, and still likes magic. Not witchcraft, but that of fantasies and fairy tales, which have delighted people for centuries.
Thea was born blind, and she suffers from chronic pain, caused by a variety of conditions, and a serious mental illness called borderline personality disorder.
Thea loves soft, romantic and beautiful things, which she writes about in her novels, because she feels that the world is lacking in these qualities. Learn more about Thea’s other books at the following link:

Lisa Pinney lives in Pittsburgh, Pa with her husband. She has two adult children and three grandchildren. She is the owner and operator of Pittsburgh Transformation Center, where she works as
As a Christian transformation coach. She coaches the issues of the heart not the problem.
She helps to deepen your relationship with God and with others by Identifying negative beliefs and creating a pathway to communicate from the heart. She believes the pathway to the heart is as individual as each person’s experience and Jesus now the way.
Book Title:
Deeper Living the Christian Life In the Deep Down
Description:
In her book, Lisa writes about what it’s like for Jesus to reach the wounded place of the heart to bring about emotional healing, transformation, and spiritual growth. You’ll learn what emotional needs are. You’ll learn how important it is to have your emotional needs met in Christ and in relationships. You’ll see how unmet needs lead to self-medicating, self-protecting, and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Lisa mixes her own personal journey of emotional healing so the reader can relate, and identify their own need for emotional healing. The book has contemplations or visual prayer exercises at the end of each chapter, however, this is not a how to book. Readers are invited to cultivate their own intimate relationship with the lover of their soul.

Today’s episode is a review of a fabulous SciFi novel entitled Lucy, which was written by Thea Ramsay.
Description:
Ten-year-old Lucy and her parents live on Earth in the last throes of its final holocaust. Their only hope is being accepted as refugees on another world, but one rejection letter after another eats away at their hope, while death closes in on them. Hope revives when a stranger arrives with a letter of acceptance from the mysterious planet Andorpha.
While Lucy, her best friend, Kim, and her parents wait to board the space ship, her parents are killed. Lucy faces danger and growth as she comes to grips with her parents' death and the strange customs of Andorpha. While Kim laps up Andorphian love like warm milk, Lucy wonders if it's all too good to be true. When Lucy learns the Andorphians believe their planet is under a curse, she begins to suspect there is a reason that she and her family were so readily accepted as refugees. Do they expect her to be the antidote to an ancient curse?
When Kim urges Lucy to accept the Andorphians and their way of life, the only shot at life they have, Lucy is certain she's right. But all is not what it seems.

Multi-published author and freelance editor Cynthia MacGregor can claim over 100 books of hers that have been published since 1993, when her first book came out. And that total doesn’t include books she’s ghostwritten for clients. She writes for both adults and kids; and oddly, while her books for adults are almost entirely nonfiction, her books for kids are predominantly fiction. She works 7 days a week, with time off for church on Sundays, and puts in long hours every day. People who know her call her “the Energizer bunny.” She just keeps going and going. Cyn, as she likes to be called, loves her work and her life and says, “There’s no one in the world I’d want to trade lives with.” Visit Cyn’s website at: www.cynthiamacgregor.com and find her on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008501104899 (there is more than one Cynthia MacGregor on Facebook.

For visually impaired listeners, the episode cover art is a photo of a set of three items, a bracelet, necklace, and earrings that match. They are all brass with shades of purple gemstones and crystals. The necklace says "I love you" in braille, the bracelet says "always," and the earrings are deliberately mismatched, so that one earring says "always," and the other one says "forever." This set is called "The Love Always and Forever Set".
