“I have just completed Memories are Precious which is out and on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, xlibris, and all of the online resellers. It is a resource for anyone that needs to understand Alzheimer’s disease and get help for a loved one. It is also my mom’s own words and story from the day she found out she had the illness and more. It has author dedications and blogs and stories from friends and family members who have loved ones with the illness. I am working on my second Alzheimer’s book called Active Minds: Don’t Let Your Brain Go to Mush dealing with brain active activities to keep our minds and the minds of seniors alert and working. I have a medical consultant that will be guiding me using the research from Bronx Aging. I am also writing Bertha’s Revenge my fourth in my Bertha series. Of course I am reviewing books on Ijustfinished.com.manic readers and bookpleasures.com and for authors upon request. I was recently a featured author of the week on ijustfinished .com”

“I’m published with a novel for teens. The publishers are Onwards and Upwards and the book is called ‘Get Over It’ Adventures. It tells the hopeful tale of a youth, John and his dad when the mum dies. They go on an extended holiday in Greece delaying facing the truth. I hope to run creative writing workshops in youth settings to help them with the challenges they face and their issues.
Now, I’m looking forward to celebrating Christmas with my family. Blessings and good health to fellow contributors. The New Year will be exciting included in the Maybe Tomorrow Anthology.”

But some couldn’t take it, couldn’t believe in a free lunch never mind free passage! It was just the same here as at home. They were like our neighbours. We were in unfamiliar territory. It was expected to be hot but not this hot! This was stifling, stinking and burning. There in front of our four-wheeled vehicle was an erupting volcano. We didn’t realise it hadn’t been active for years. Our native tour rep panicked. He turned the Land Rover and expected us to go with him. But through the translation headphones we were fed lies…
