As of this morning I have two published books, Wake Up! & A Gathering of Spirit and two e books, Journey of an Enlightened Egotist & Spirits of Cibola County both available on Amazon. Not a bad showing for ten years of work. I am done- not writing, just writing life stories.
For awhile I am going to focus on writing my blog and let other people take care of doing their own PR. When I finished my first e book in April I sent an email to the editor of the Cibola County Beacon informing him of my accomplishment. He didn't even have the courtesy of replying. I expected something, after all I am a former columnist for the paper. I did not expect nothing!
I had intended to write a few more stories for my second e book, just published yesterday, but over the holiday weekend I had time to think and decided to stop right where I was. I have spent the last 10 years writing my heart out for this town with very little recognition or monetary support. It is time to stop this way of thinking.
One important thing I have learned is you just can't keep doing the same things and expect a different outcome.

Everyone leaves footprints as they walk on their assigned path and you never know who you might inspire by sharing your experiences.

- This blog began as a means to share my life adventures with my readers. My writing experience to that point included two published books; Wake Up! and A Gathering of Spirit and four years as a columnist for the Cibola Beacon. I have since added Journey of an Enlightened Egotist, Spirits of Cibola County, What Now My Love? A Writer's Journey and Adventures of a Chosen Messenger to my published work, all are available from Amazon.com Looking for ways to inspire others to write I created a writing group for senior citizens in 2012, a writing camp for children 2012-2015 and a communication group for a nursing home in 2013. In 2018 I created an online writing group.This move led to two others eventually removed do to lack of participation. A friend once told me to find my passion and share it and I would realize my purpose. She was right! Every time I have thought I should give up something happens to assure me that I am on the right path.
