Dance for A Dead Princess by Deborah Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Compare two of the characters in this book. Taylor was an attorney at a large law firm and was trying to make a name for herself. She was down to earth and attentive to her job although her personal life appeared to be in shambles. The Duke was a good looking guy who was rich and who was immersed in guilt which is why he was selling Burnham Abbey.

What did you think about the ending of the book. I liked the ending and wouldn’t change it. It wasn’t the ending I expected for the story but it tied in with the title and the tape which played a somewhat central role in the story aside from the murders at Burnham Abbey.

What was the climax of the story? When Taylor found the journals and it revealed the details of Burnham Abbey’s past inhabitants. She is forced to reevaluate her first impression of the Duke and it is from this point in the novel that the story becomes a ride and a half which I particularly enjoyed.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About #Author Sandy Nathan @sandyonathan #AmReading

I’m not a well-known author, so you probably don’t know much of anything about me. I’ll fill in the blanks.

1. I am old. This may seem like a suicidal thing to say in an industry that considers authors kaput at thirty-five. I’m pushing seventy. I’m supremely happy and comfortable in my skin, more than I’ve ever been. I couldn’t write what I do when I was younger. I didn’t have the depth of understanding or the ability to immerse myself in a story. I for sure didn’t have the writing skills. I’ve spent about eighteen years in two writing groups and being coached/mentored by my editor. My creative mind is as sharp as ever, though my short-term memory is a bit wonky. (Who did you say you were?) And––I just got a new horse, a gorgeous gray Peruvian Paso mare. We’re in love. So don’t fear aging, it’s not so bad.

2. I was born in San Francisco and lived either there or on the San Francisco Peninsula most of my life. That area came to be known as Silicon Valley. My dad was the President and CEO of what was the 9th largest residential construction company in the United States in its heyday. I know what powerful, successful men and women are like, and I know their energy. I also know how social systems work in very prosperous places. They’re brutal. This knowledge is most relevant for my Bloodsong Series, which takes place in the late 1990s to the contemporary era, but it’s also relevant for the Earth’s End Series. The economically segmented world, in which Jeremy Edgarton and his friends live in (in The Angel & the Brown-Eyed Boy) is drawn from my childhood.

3. I lived in a golden bubble of prosperity until I was eighteen years old. When a drunk driver ran into my father’s car head on, my wonderful life was ripped from me. My dad was horribly maimed and died after three days of agony. I went from a golden princess to someone living close to poverty level. Boy, was that ever a character-building experience. I developed myself as a result and learned to stand on my own feet. I’m very different than I would have been had my dad lived, but I do miss the bubble sometimes.

4. I went to school a lot. I love learning and it was part of my salvation after my father was killed. I’ve got an MS in Economics and an MA in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. (I was doing a career change.) I also spent a year at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business in their PhD program. This convinced me that I did not want a PhD in Economics, but it opened the door to a twenty-year gig coaching negotiations for one of the professors. I loved this: just me, a video camera, and two MBA (Master’s in Business Administration) students in a small room. There, I bludgeoned them into being able to listen non-judgmentally. The skill probably lasted two minutes after they walked out of the room, but I consider it my contribution to making the world a better place.

5. I have worked a lot. I’ve worked three gigs as an economist. I was project economist on two studies—one a year long and the other a year and a half. The studies were managed by the Planning Department of Santa Clara County (southern part of Silicon Valley). The second one was a big deal, funded by the National Science Foundation and jointly conducted by the SCC and the RAND Corporation. I got to play with the really bright boys there. Later, I was the Economic Analyst for Santa Clara County. I gave it all up to get my MA in counseling––and to be a mom. I had my two daughters right about then. I’ve done other stuff, too. We owned a furniture store. I went back to school (again) and studied interior design. I worked as the principle designer in our store for ten years. Out of the blue, our family was consumed by a horse addiction. We were all smitten by Peruvian Paso horses and ended up breeding them for twenty years before retiring. So, be glad if you’re old and not lazy, you can cover a lot of ground.

6. I had my first visionary experience as a young teenager, riding my horse through the redwood groves of the Coastal Range down the spine of the San Francisco Peninsula. Much later, getting my MA in counseling, I learned it was a “unitive experience.” The redwoods with their motes of light and the soft dust of the trail, the gurgling brook surrounded by ferns, my warm horse with his gentle breathing, and I merged. I couldn’t tell one from the other. It was a glimpse of the way the world should be, or could be. Peaceful. Ecstatic. Sacred. I’ve had those experiences ever since, usually when something rotten happens.

7. Because of the tendency for tragic and traumatic events to throw me into ecstatic states that turn into books, I say that I write “literature through disaster.” The Earth’s End Series came to me after a transcendent experience following my brother’s death. You can read more about it the Author’s Note at the front of the book. Something even worse produced the Bloodsong Series. (It’s in the Author’s Note of that series, as well.) These glimpses of the divine that give me my books punch a hole in the universe and allow me access to higher realms of being. The hole stays open after I’ve spit the initial book out. With Earth’s End, I wrote The Angel & the Brown-eyed Boy at warp speed. When I was done, Lady Grace & the War of a New World was there. When I was done with The Lady, pop! The Headman & the Assassin flowed in. The way I get my books is through a gestalt of meaning, I don’t have trouble finishing them. Whereas before the experience of creating the Bloodsong Series, I couldn’t finish a limerick to save my life; afterward, I finish pretty near everything, eventually.

8. I’ve always written, whether academically or professionally. I thought I was a good writer. I was, for those fields. That means nothing in terms of writing publishable fiction. So I participated in two writing groups and worked with my editor, turning into a pretty good writer. I’m tougher on myself than anyone else is, which is a good thing. Clean up those participles! Sponge those redundant phrases!

9. My primary purpose in writing is to raise my readers to that higher plane I touch every so often. Do I want to change the world? You bet. Do I want to save the world? If it’s possible. No matter how grim, grisly, violent, bloody, sexy, or beautiful my writing is, every word is there for one reason: to wake people up and get them to think. To inspire them. Life is so short and transitory; we need to savor every minute. As my father’s death showed me, everything can be gone in a moment.

10. You don’t have to know all this stuff about me to read my books, but it will fill in the blanks and give you an indication of what shaped my words.

I hope you’re moved to read my work and I hope you find it valuable if you do. Thanks so much for walking this way with me. It’s been a privilege to share my life with you.

Donald J. Amodeo's KDP Select #Giveaway Experience@DonAmodeo #WriteTip

How does a brand new author with no fans and no platform get the word out about his or her book? This was the dilemma I faced (and still face) upon self-publishing my debut novel, Dead & Godless. Lacking the cash needed for a real marketing push, I did what many other first-time authors have done. I joined KDP Select.

Not everyone agrees that giving away tons of free ebooks is the best way to promote yourself, but it’s definitely one of the easier ways, and if your book is strong enough to generate word-of-mouth (which is what really sells books), then giving away a few thousand copies shouldn’t scare you.

I started by doing the research, reading up on how other authors had used giveaways successfully. You can’t just pick your free days and trust in Amazon to bring in the traffic. You need to promote your promotion. The YouTube channel of Tom Corson-Knowles, author of “The Kindle Publishing Bible,” was one of the more helpful resources I stumbled upon.

I chose to schedule my five free days all at once, so as to allow enough time for those initial readers/freebie hunters to spread the word. Avoiding the beginning or end of the month, my giveaway was set to run from November 22nd to the 26th.

Three weeks prior, I started contacting services that promote free ebooks. Dead & Godless had five glowing Amazon reviews at the time, but it probably would have helped if I’d had more. With too little critical acclaim, I was rejected by Bookbub, and thus locked out of the biggest mailing list.

With Bookbub off the table, here’s what I did:

1) I signed up for a service called Bookpraiser, which submitted my book to about 100 blogs, facebook groups and twitter pages that cover free and bargain books. Cost = $30

2) I used Fiverr to find more book promoters who have a good number of followers on social media services such as twitter, tumblr and pinterest. Cost = $20

3) I signed up for Bookblast’s mailing list, and was accepted for their Free Book of the Day on the 23rd (yay!). Though not as huge as the Bookbub list, Booblast still has a good reach. Cost = $100

At last, the first day of my Kindle giveaway arrived. Since Dead & Godless is a Christian fiction novel, I knew better than to expect the kind of numbers that romance authors often see, but I was still a little let down by the initial response. During that Friday, I only managed to move 300 ebooks. The most popular free book blogs had chosen to ignore me, and since I’d heard that the first day of a giveaway is usually the biggest, I wasn’t exactly riding high.

As it turned out, I should have been more hopeful. On Saturday my Bookblast email went out, and immediately I saw a huge jump. In addition, one of the bigger blogs (Free Kindle Books & Tips) suddenly decided to pick up Dead & Godless. The combination of these factors led to my numbers going from 300 on Friday to 3,000 by the end of Saturday.

All in all, I moved almost 6,000 ebooks during the promotion. Considering my genre and the fact that I wasn’t featured on many of the more popular outlets, this result wasn’t bad at all. Have I seen a big jump is sales following the giveaway? Nope, but I have seen a small jump, along with several new reviews. There are people talking about my book that didn’t know it existed before, and that extra praise may help get Dead & Godless featured on more services when my next promotion comes along.

#Christian - Getting to Know #Author Deidre D Havrelock @deidrehavrelock

 

Why did you set out to write about the subject of testimony? And why did you write three books on the topic?!

I set out to write about this topic about seven years ago. I was noticing that (#1): the faith of people I met in churches was incredibly low. For instance, a church-going person might read about angels in the Bible and decide, “Yes, I believe angels existed—back then, but they don’t exist now.” Or, they might decide, “Demons are metaphors in the Bible—they don’t really exist.” This lack of faith in areas that Jesus taught about can be traced to a lack of testimony. For instance, I have personally seen a few angels in my life time and I have also gone through an exorcism. If I choose to share my personal testimony with others then suddenly people can believe that yes, the demons that Jesus dealt with in the Bible still exist now. If I choose not to share my testimony or if I am discouraged from sharing my testimony then faith suffers and many might come to believe that Jesus is casting our “metaphorical” demons, and if Jesus cast out imaginary demons, then perhaps Jesus doesn’t really heal people either. Sharing our personal testimonies—specifically about how Jesus reveals himself to us and meets us in our life—strengthens the faith of those around us.

But I was also noticing that (#2) when Christians did give a testimony in church, on T.V., or in magazines their stories were emotional and often tragic, but they were rarely about Jesus. I remember attending a women’s testimony event put on by a local church; five women were to share their personal testimonies with a large group of other women. The stories were emotionally raw: rape, divorce, cancer, child abuse—but no one mentioned Jesus. I wanted to leave early; I was simply and utterly emotionally exhausted from listening to the painful stories, but I didn’t want to be rude. In the end, I didn’t learn anything about Jesus that day; I didn’t learn how Jesus saves people, or helps people. What I did hear was that life is difficult—and sometimes it’s overwhelmingly difficult—but hang in there because circumstances can change. I think the message the group was putting out there was, “This is a safe place for the broken-hearted to come; we will listen to your pain.” Which is a good message, but it’s not what testimony is about.

Soon after that day, I spent a day in prayer. By the end of my time in prayer, I had the outline of a book in my mind. That book turned into three books. Why three books? Testimony is a huge topic running throughout the Bible. For instance, did you know that there are seven different types of testimony in the Bible but only three sources? Did you know there is a law in the Old Testament that says if you don’t come forward to testify while having knowledge about the matter at hand, you can be subject to punishment? And do you understand why Jesus said, “You sent messengers to John, and he testified to the truth. Not that I accept such human testimony…” (Jn 5:33-34). Ultimately, studying the subject of testimony really helped me to understand the Bible.

How Long Have You Been Studying The Christian Testimony?

Actually, I was studying testimony long before I ever knew I was studying testimony. It all started when I decided to try to introduce my family to Jesus. That effort began almost twenty years ago. In retrospect, testimony has been on my mind since the day I became a Christian and I decided, “I am never going to tell anyone about this event or about Jesus.” From that point on, God began the task of changing my heart and after that I began to tell my family about Jesus. I then began to purposefully study testimony in the year 2005, and that challenge lasted until 2010. I even remember praying, in those beginning years, “Father, bless me with an abundant testimony!” That has certainly happened.

Do The First and Third Books in the Series Also Contain Personal Testimonies?

Yes, all three books contain amazing testimonies from friends and family members. Studying … The Testimony contains the testimony of my uncle Glen and his near-death experience where he ended up in hell and was promptly pulled out by God only to be given a chance to “choose life.” It’s an amazing story and it inspired me to write the appendix on hell that is at the back of the book.

Do You Want Other Christians to Send You their Own Written Testimonies For Use in Other Possible Books?

Yes. Absolutely! I would really appreciate that. I am thinking about putting a book together, a book of testimonies from readers. I am particularly interested in testimonies from children or ones that include children.

What is the First Book in The Testimony Series About?

The first book is an in-depth Bible study on testimony—how testimony is used throughout the Bible. I had Christian friends who said they weren’t really learning anything and that they wanted a book with no fluff—just straightforward teaching. So, I wrote one for them. Below is the back cover info:

Testimony is the foundation of our personal faith.

Testimony is the foundation of evangelism.

…How strong is your foundation?

Testimony is the foundation of our personal faith as well as evangelism. If our foundation is weak, our attempts to evangelize or even grow in faith may prove to be unfruitful. Unfortunately, few know the theology underlying testimony; and sadly, when we “testify” we tend to speak about ourselves, God, church, and faith … habitually forgetting Jesus in the process. The Church is in a crisis. Our foundation is weak. Studying … The Testimony builds a strong foundation by revealing how testimony relates to the Bible.

Are you ready to go deeper into your Bible?

Are you ready for insight and clarity?

Yes? Then this book is for you!

Out of all the Different Testimonies given throughout the series, which is your favorite?

My favorite story is my dad’s. His journey through alcoholism, and failing as a husband and a father, and his miraculous healing … his whole journey really made me go, “Wow, no matter who we are or what we’ve done wrong God is serious about getting us out of the darkness and into the light of Jesus.”

After reading Living…the testimony I now want to write my own testimony. Will book three in the testimony series help me do this?

It definitely will. Book three, Preparing …The Testimony is not exactly a how-to book, a book designed to help individuals organize and write a story about how they first came to believe in Jesus. It’s more like a journal, a book that will help you explore your own spiritual journey and beliefs. The questions within Preparing … The Testimony are meant to help you understand, not only some of the intricacies of the Bible, but also how your own personal belief system formed; plus, it will help you identify what exactly you believe about Jesus. This can be a terrifying thought for a lot of Christians, since most of the time we know what we’re supposed to believe—but when we take the time to identify what we actually believe—well, that’s a truth encounter. And those are always scary.

My girlfriend Becky likes to say that the church has a theology about a “relationship with Jesus” but few actually have an intimate and real relationship. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could change that?

You talk about a gap existing between what Christians are supposed to know and what they actually know about jesus. That kind of scares me … I don’t know if I am ready for a “truth encounter.”

This gap that exists between what Christians are supposed to know and what they actually know works like the business concept called the “Peter Principle.” It’s really nothing to be scared of—because examining your faith will actually work to strengthen it. Please don’t think I am being rude by saying that the Peter Principal works within the Christian church structure; it’s really just an observation I’ve made over time. I’ve met so many pastors, leaders, and even pastor’s wives who (when it came right down to it) had very little faith in Jesus. They knew exactly what they were supposed to believe: Jesus is God’s Son, Jesus heals, Jesus is King, Jesus is miraculous, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us (etc.), but I noticed while speaking with them that few actually believed healers existed today, even fewer trusted that the Holy Spirit could speak. In fact, a woman, who was the wife of a pastor, once told me after I spoke at a function, that she didn’t really believe Jesus was alive. And yet, she was the one to whom women from the church were supposed to go to for direction. She felt like she was a Christian because it was her job—and she wanted to quit.

Of course, she didn’t want to be judged; she just truly wanted to grow her faith so that she could stand for Christ and mean it, but the expectation of her—and her perceived position—didn’t allow for it. On another note, I once took a “Learn Your Spiritual Gifts” workshop, and after my gift came out as “faith” the pastor asked me to explain to the rest of the class how my gift worked. After I explained how “faith” worked, I was immediately escorted from the room, and later I was told that this large community church didn’t need my gift of “faith.” (Can you imagine? A church that doesn’t need faith!) In the end, the pastor believed Jesus was alive, but he didn’t believe Jesus could talk or that the Holy Spirit would actually lead in startling ways. He had expected me to say to the class that day that faith came through reading the Bible—and only through reading the Bible. I started asking myself, “What on earth is going on? Why is there so little faith in churches?”

The Peter Principle is a business observation that identifies how people get promoted based on achievements. Eventually, the people get promoted until they are in a position of incompetence. In other words, what they know no longer is enough for the position they hold. For Christians, this same principle can also take effect. Say a young man goes to school to become a pastor; he learns everything he is supposed to know as a Christian and he gets excellent marks, but experience is lacking. Before he knows it, this young pastor is overcome with work and issues of running a church—and so his mission of seeking a relationship with Jesus takes a back seat. Eventually, that pastor will find himself preaching a gospel of supposed truths, but he will not be giving any radical examples from his own life. He will not be testifying. The congregation then grows up understanding exactly what they’re supposed to know—but the application is lacking. Faith is always about action—not just learning—that’s why Jesus made disciples and didn’t just start a school. Can you imagine if the apostles went around preaching that Jesus could heal—but they never once prayed for anyone to be healed?

The Testimony Series works to identify where you are on your journey of discovery with Jesus, while helping readers to see what faith in Jesus actually accomplishes so that we don’t unintentionally become a victim of the Peter Principal.

Isn’t a testimony just a story about how you came to believe in Jesus? you make it sound like testiimony is extremely important.

A testimony is actually many things. It’s a statement regarding truth, a written record of experience, a contract outlining promises … read book one, Studying … The Testimony for all the definitions given in the Bible. For Christians, a testimony is basically our lives intertwined with the life of Jesus. As dedicated followers of Jesus everything we do is done “in the name of Jesus.” Therefore, our whole lives should testify about him. Our very lives become evidence of his existence. How does this happen? (You may be wondering.) It happens slowly … over time.

We testify in accordance with what we know and have experienced.

…It’s time to learn and experience more!

The first book in this thought-provoking series explained how testimony relates to the Bible; this book will help you understand how testimony relates to living. Living…The Testimony will not only encourage Christians to reflect on who they believe Jesus to be (and why they choose to believe this), but it will also correct current misconstrued ideas as to what the Christian testimony is all about.

- a testimony is not about church;

- a testimony is not about God;

- a testimony is not about faith in general terms;

- this book contains numerous testimonies that will strengthen your faith in Jesus.

A strong Christian testimony is one that continually grows in the knowledge of Jesus, continually shares that knowledge boldly, while at the same time performs good works based on Jesus’ teaching of love—all while abstaining from works of darkness.

Because a biblical testimony deals not only with our belief system, but also with the way we conduct our whole lives, our Christian testimony becomes our most valuable asset. It is life itself.
