What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I’m an author. My reason for being here in the beginning was to find a website where I could let the world know I’m an author and showcase my books. Every author knows you need a website so people can find you and know what you write.

It was a beginning, way back a couple of years ago. I became disappointed and stopped coming to the site for a couple of years. No one ‘found’ me. I tried building my own site. It didn’t work. No one ‘found’ me. I came back to WordPress in October, I think, and stayed. Yes, I’m hoping to still be ‘found’ and people will want to read my books. However, that’s not why I’m staying.

I’m staying because I’m finding other people like me who also write, publish, and are simply amazing. You grow gardens, write amazing articles about recipes that make my mouth drool, write travel exposes on places I can only dream about visiting, and along the way, I’ve made a few friends.

I’m still hoping to be found. I’m hoping my books will make an impact on your life. If you have read any of my posts, you know one major thing about me: I’m a Christian, thoroughly in love with Jesus my Savior. Everything I write is Christian based. I’m a positive person who hopes to inject positivity in those around me and in those who read my posts.

Check out my books. Maybe there’s one that trips your trigger and makes you want to read it. Right now, I have historical and mystery. Soon I will add science fiction. I’m a writer, it’s what I do and have done for the majority of my life.

Thanks for reading. How do you want your blog to make a change in your world? Let me know in the comments below. The image belongs to me from the Winter Market.

      I do my own editing. I bought several books on how to do it. I also have friends who read and listen and give valuable feedback to make the book everything it can be.

      Good luck. It’s a wonderful experience.

      My promotion is word of mouth. What I write about here to let people know I am an author and where you can find my books – Amazon.
