Unofficial World Book Lovers Week!

book-863418_960_720

Since books are so much a part of my life–I read them, teach them, and write them, that I have decided, without any authority, of course, I am declaring the entire week of 11/15/2019 — 11/21/2019 to be the unofficial holiday of World Book Lovers Week!

Let us embrace the week as a period of declaring to the world that we love books! And why shouldn’t we declare holidays on our own? Let us show the world how important books–all books, of any kind–are!

If you are with me on this idea, please spread the word!

I love books!

More Reviews of Maledicus: The Investigative Paranormal Society Book 1 by Charles F. French

“I really enjoyed reading this book. It is considered horror, but within

it, a touching story of love. Give this book a try!”

“This isn’t a typical horror novel that unfolds at breakneck speed, full

of suspense, action, and gore. To the contrary, the story is character-

driven, and the pace is thoughtful and slow as the author takes the time

to dive deeply into each character and his backstory . . . Descriptions

are well done, and I had a good sense of visuals – action, settings, and

characters. The dialog felt natural to me, and the meticulous attention

given to the characters made them thoroughly believable.

Recommended for fans of character-driven novels who enjoy a touch of

horror and suspense.”

“The moment I started reading this book, I couldn’t stop because of the

suspense it builds. Through heart string moments to horrific moments,

you connect to each character. I can’t read this at night because of the

plot.”

Please Honor Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day, and I simply wanted to offer my thank you to all the men and women who have served or are serving our country in the Armed Forces.

This day began with Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, which ended the First World War. Congress formalized Armistice Day as a national holiday in 1938. After World War II and The Korean War, the day was renamed Veterans Day, and it serves as a time to honor all of those who have served or are serving.

Please let it be a day of honor and thanks, not one of special sales deals. It is a day to recognize the commitment, duty, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who have served or are serving in the Armed Forces.

Happy Birthday To The United States Marine Corps!

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps, who are on this day 244 years old. This branch of the Armed Forces of the United States has a long and distinguished history. They will always have a special place in my heart, because my father was a Marine in World War II.

The Marine Corps is a family, and I saw this clearly one day, when my father was dying of cancer. His body had become a tiny version of the man he had been. He had taken to wearing his Marine Corps cap, and two young men in their uniforms, clearly just out of boot camp, saw him. We had been out for a small meal in my home town of Easton, PA, and they approached him and began a conversation with him about his experiences. Then one young man asked me with complete courtesy if it was okay if they borrowed him for a few hours, simply to talk with an older Marine. My father was delighted, and I knew he was in good hands. I came back later that afternoon to pick him up, and he was still there talking with the two youngsters.

When he stood to go, they saluted him. My heart was full, and I saw the great joy these two young men had given to a mortally ill, elderly man they had never known before. When he was leaving, they exchanged, “Semper Fi.”

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps.

A Few Quotes that Shine a Light on Being Who You Are.

Here are a few wonderful quotations that were compiled by the excellent writer, Karen DeMers Dowdall!

Once Upon a Time....

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
― Thomas A. Edison

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost

Often times writers get writing blocks resulting in a temporary lost of self-belief in their writing, especially if their much loved published book doesn’t get much attention/sales. Well as Robert Frost says, “life goes on”; Thomas Edison says, “I just found 10,000 ways that don’t work” (well, maybe); Yet, Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “You have already accomplished the greatest of challenges – you are still you!

November Promote Your Book Party!

It is now mid-Autumn, and it is time once again for a book promotion party!

I want to offer an opportunity for all writers who follow this blog to share information on their books. It can be very difficult to generate publicity for our writing, so I thought this little effort might help. All books may be mentioned, and there is no restriction on genre. This encompasses fiction, poetry, plays, and non-fiction. If I have neglected to mention a genre, please consider it to be included.

To participate, simply give your name, your book, information about it, and where to purchase it in the comments section. Then please be willing to reblog and/or tweet this post. The more people that see it, the more publicity we can generate for everyone’s books. I will continue to do these parties every few weeks.

Thank you for participating!

Promote your books!
