Achieving Your Dream

"Every step I take brings me closer to the realization of my dreams." I was encouraged to repeat this phrase by Judi Moreo, author of You Are More Than Enough Achievement Journal (Stephens Press, Dec. '07) until I understood exactly what it meant.

I suppose I've been floundering around hoping that the things I've been doing would indeed bring me closer to my dream. And what is my dream? In the beginning it was to be a published author. I've certainly achieved that dream--but what I'm reaching for now is more readers. It's so wonderful when I hear from someone who has finished reading one of my books and enjoyed it enough to let me know.

So, of course, every step I take to let people know more about my books is a step closer to that dream--reaching more readers.

So what steps have you taken to realize your dreams?

Wow, what a question -- I think every step I take puts me just that much closer to my dream of being a published and successful author. I believe 2008 will be my year. I believe that everything that I have done in the past has brought me to where I am right now and will be the catalyst to my first published novel. All of my life experiences have prepared me to write in a way that I never even knew was possible.

I believe in the past, I was scared of succeeding. I know that sounds crazy, but think about it, when my book hits the shelves next year, it will be on the New York Times Best Seller and my life will begin to change. My friends will be different. My responsibilities will be new and more advanced, not to mention the traveling - something I have not had to do alot of in my brief existence on this planet. Life will change for me, of this I am certain. But now, I'm ready. Now I welcome success. I have partnered with success in such a way that he has become part of my everyday. He is the behavior that I exhibit when I talk about my book. I am preparing my readers and making the right connections.

I am breathing, eating and sleeping success. We are great bed fellows. A match made in heaven.

Well, before I take up to much of your time I just want to say thank you for your blog and I plan to purchase your book. I can't wait to finish it and I will be certain to leave my feedback.

Take care and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D. This is also where she begins her career as the vice officer for the department. An Axe To Grind is about a stalker who loses his head. When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail. In Angel Lost as plans for her perfect wedding fill her mind, Officer Stacey Wilbur is sent out to trap a flasher. The new hire realizes Rocky Bluff P.D. is not the answer to his problem. Abel Navarro can’t concentrate on the job because of worry about his mother. Officer Gordon Butler has his usual upsets. The sudden appearance of an angel in the window of a fu

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
