You're proud of that? Yes. Yes I am. Hell, I walked 2,283 miles to earn earn the right to that name!<br />With all the media attention focused on the Pacific Crest Trail due to the success of "Wild" a lot of people are wondering what day-to-day life on the PCT is really like. Where do you shower? Where's the toilet? Does everyone get their live's together on the trail? What is it like to be mistaken as homeless in every town between Mexico and Canada? "Hikertrash: Life on the Pacific Crest Trail" answers all of these riveting questions and then some!<br />There were no "ah-ha" moments, no magical answers to all life's problems. This isn't a story of personal growth. This is the humorous story of what it's like to be hikertrash!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477185846730594896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-58560959960611985412014-12-15T23:15:04.909-05:002014-12-15T23:15:04.909-05:00Thank you, Peggy.

My heroine has found an art form that lets her express herself and make others happy at the same time. I like to think that writers do that all the time. We write to entertain and move our readers.

Plus, my boyfriend told me this is my best work yet (although he might be biased since the book is dedicated to him). The story combines mystery and humor as Amy Wagner looks into her sister Gina's suspicious death. Along the way, Amy partners with Gina's colleague, who might be on the verge of becoming the next murder victim unless Amy can figure out what's going on in time.Marla Bradeenhttp://www.marlabradeen.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-88986121106954183692014-12-15T19:02:55.427-05:002014-12-15T19:02:55.427-05:00Hi, Jo!

My first book, THE PLACE OF VOICES, has something for everyone and is appropriate for just about any reader. It's a clean read and edgy without being too much so (think warm fuzzy meets dark twisty). If you're intrigued by time travel and unusual bits of history with meaningful story, my book should draw you in. Book two in the series releases this week. Love your ideas and energy...<br />Warm regards, Lauren LynchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-68199872354606808622014-12-15T17:08:34.882-05:002014-12-15T17:08:34.882-05:00I suffered unspeakable abuse as a child. Two thing...I suffered unspeakable abuse as a child. Two things saved me from becoming the monster I feared so much: books and my belief in Guardian Angels. With over 6 million children being abused in the US each year, whatever we're doing isn't enough. I decided to write a fantasy about a young girl who is the role model I always wanted to be. She jumps in to help winged creatures from another dimension to protect the children of Earth from bullying and abuse. I worked with a child counselor, Catherine Gruener, to develop a two-page discussion sheet on my website free for parents to help them use the characters to have the tougher discussions with their children. I firmly believe that if anyone had ever asked me if I were being hurt, I'd have told the truth. The book is a free download on my website for children through the end of December. My gift to the kids who are most at risk. The discussion sheet is on the Books tab http://peggymcaloon.comPeggy's Hope 4 Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968499009748840868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-37622302537004889522014-12-15T16:51:08.530-05:002014-12-15T16:51:08.530-05:00"Jo, hey, Jami here.

You see Miranda is obsessing over this 12 days of review requests you have going on and I think it's a great idea. But because she keeps checking to see what new books are added, then 1 clicking and reading samples she doesn't have time to really listen to ME and I am so ready to get on with my story. Book 1 is only the beginning, there is so much more to tell. You don't want to miss it, pick it up get to know me and my unusual life and friends, my blushworthy highlander and the craziness that has become my life. Pick my story so I can get Miranda back on track please. She is so easily distracted....squirrel...
