I am going to be Published!!

Go guess what ... if you have not figured it out ... I am tickled pink to let everyone know ... one of my books is going to be PUBLISHED!!!!

WOW ... is the first thing I have to say ... the second thing is, it has been a long road to get here but I have finally succeeded in achieving one of my most personal goals. I can honestly say it is an outer body experience, a little overwhelming at times, but the most excited period of my life.

It is a children's novel called Dragon Boyz and it was inspired by my son, who has the most creative and intense mind. He is also the reason why I pursued publishing it when I had completed writing it, because his confidence in me was all I needed to take the next step.

I love to write and have been writing for many years. I have some poetry published, and have collaborated with other in literary pieces, but this book is my baby. It is my first and definitely not my last. I do feel very blessed and there are a lot of people who I am very grateful to for supporting me through this entire process.

My launch date for the children's book is in March 2015. So until then I have to put together a package for my publisher to finalize the completion of the book. For those who are interested in publishing, it is a challenging experience, a lot of work, and you must be willing to always take the next step.

BUT IT IS ALL WORTH IT!!!

Ok .... so the question to you guys .... which professional picture should I go with? I have not decided if to go with colour or black and white .... and remember it is a children's novel.

So which one would you chose? HELP!!

  2. Congratulations!! I find the black and white looks so chic. Yet, for a children's book, and I'm speaking with my 7 year old daughter's mindset, a child would be drawn to the color photo. There, just my two cents' worth!

  4. This is so awesome!
    I'm trying to write a novel this year for NaNoWriMo; I am used to nonfiction so this is a stretch!
    If you'd like me or my children to review and blog about your book, please contact me!

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under.

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...
