THE STIRLING OBSERVER FEATURES MOONBEAMS FROM THE SOUL!



I was delighted to be sent a pdf of this article by Kaiya Marjoribanks, Senior Reporter at The Stirling Observer. This not only informs their readers about Moonbeams from the Soul, my new book of short stories, but also lets them know a little about the terrible effects of Hurricane Dorian on Abaco and Grand Bahama islands and a link to where interested persons can go to help with the hurricane relief. I think Kaiya did a fabulous job with this article! Stirling is where I was born and brought up.

TOPSHAM ESTUARY MAGAZINE ROCKS!



How kind of the editors of the Estuary Magazine, a monthly publication in Topsham, Devon, England, to feature my press release “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number” on page 47 of their November 2019 issue.

This article features my book “Moonbeams from the Soul: A Collection of Fourteen Provocative Short Stories”. And there is also a link for those who wish to help with Hurricane Dorian Relief.

Topsham is a lovely little town on the river estuary, where my mother lived for thirty-seven years of her life. And my family and I visited this beautiful spot over and over again throughout the years. Estuary Editors Diana Trout and José Northey have done a fabulous job with this latest bumper issue. It makes me feel quite nostalgic for Topsham!



BOOK REVIEWS WELCOME!



How often do you purchase something on Amazon and then after a decent amount of time you get an email from them asking if you would like to post what you think of the product?


I get these emails all the time and usually try to respond by doing a short review, as it helps other customers with their decision whether or not to buy the product.

Authors are especially grateful for any comments that their readers find time to make. Actually, it only takes a moment and you don’t need to give a long in depth review.

If the word “review” puts you off, don’t worry. You don’t have to be an expert at reviews. Your grammar doesn’t even have to be perfect! All you need to post are your honest comments about the product. This can be as short or as long as you wish.

Do bear in mind though with book reviews that there is a human being at the other end of the review. As my old mentor Jan Valpy used to tell her writer’s group, when doing a critique remember to be kind to the soul of the writer!

BEAUTIFUL BAHA MAR WEDDINGS!



The Baha Mar wedding chapel, Nassau, Bahamas, is located in pristine grounds - a delightful setting where newly-weds and their guests can step out of the chapel right into a highly organized reception on a beautiful lawn! 

It's a bit different from the mad drive from St. Anne's church to the old Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre catered reception that Erskine and I had 53 years ago!

THE EXETER DAILY, DEVON, ENGLAND
OCTOBER 7, 2019

This article about the release of “Moonbeams from the Soul”, my fifth book at age 75, appeared in The Exeter Daily, England, on October 7th. 

I really appreciate The Exeter Daily giving this such a spread. I hope that the article in some small way might help bring more donations and assistance internationally for Hurricane Dorian victims.
