Discussions of Drugs, Alcohol, and Alzheimer’s

                             How to Face the Demons that Chase us

I am happy to announce that my blog, www.dailysignsofhope.com has a new partner. Michael Clark has joined me to share his battle with drugs and how he turned to God to help him conquer it.

I met Michael through Facebook. We built an instant friendship through sharing our hurts, defeats, and how we over came them. We are very similar, even though we went through a different channel. We both fought, anxiety, self doubt, low self esteem, depression, and even hopelessness.

I invite  you to mark www.dailysignsofhope.com as a favorite and check back often. Michael and I will be taking turns posting. Our different writing styles will reach out to different people, and hopefully help others to find help.

I have good/? news. I put the question mark there because it could be bad news, but not yet. I have been lucky enough to have an agent, and a publisher be interested enough in my work to have me send a proposal to them.

That was six weeks ago. I was told it takes up to three months before they answer back. Patience is not my best virtue, and this waiting game is hard.

You will be the first to know when I find out the results.

Today I am launching another free book give away. The new book to be given away is called, Moments This Good: The Softer Side of Alzheimer’s, by Bonnie Nester. I have read the book, and it tears at your heat and makes you laugh at the same time.  Moments This Good: The Softer Side of Alzheimer’s, is somewhat like a diary of special moments in the lives of  Bonnie and her mother Ruth. It will help the many people of today who have aging parents who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s. I know because I have a 92 year old mother who is still with me that battles dementia, but she is still my loving mother.

Moments This Good: The Softer Side of Alzheimer’s is autographed by Bonnie. I met Bonnie at a Northwest writer’s conference. I have enjoyed her friendship a great deal.

When you get there, notice that you will also be able to download my free eBook called, The Top 25 Ways to Survive in a Troubled World. It is a very timely book that shows ways to cope in this not so friendly world.

Talk about a dreary, depressing, title! However the words used are ones that are getting to common in our world today. I didn’t even mention battles we face like: self doubt, depression, fear, low self esteem, hopelessness, and the many other usual suspects.

Firefighting Burns in Aidan O’Neill’s Blood

A winner has been chosen in the drawing for the book, The Missionary. Glynn Young of St. Louis, MO is our winner. Congratulations Glynn.

There is a new promotion going on now that ends October 5th. It is another drawing for a free book. The book is called, Through the Fire, by Shawn Grady. The book has a personal note and autograph from Shawn.

Through the Fire, is the first novel for Shawn, but James Scott Bell, a well known best selling author of the book, DECEIVED, says, “A sizzling debut novel from a writer that really knows the goods.”

Here is a trailer from the book:

“An arsonist is targeting Reno, leaving a scorched path of destruction. The department needs Aidan back, but his return is troubled. The gift he relied on for so long has gone silent… and it’s as though the fires are coming for him, hunting him down. Teaming with a beguiling fire investigator who may know more then she’s saying, Aidan must discover where his trust rests as the flames burn ever closer.”

Aidan’s father was also killed in an arson fire, so he is trying to find out who killed him. Surprise ending and many great side stories.

All you have to do to get a chance to win the book is to go over to the right sidebar, and click on the icon that talks about subscribing.

You will notice that you also get my free eBook intitled, The Top 25 Ways to Survive in a Troubled World. This book has been selected to be used in the highschools for their Human realtions classes.

It shares many ways to cope in a not so friendly invironment. It is excellent for those who may be struggling with self doubt, fear, anxiety, depression, and the many other usual suspects. It is yours free if you subscribe to the free newsletter.

The newsletter has four pages:

  • One page will have excerpts from the book, Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World. It may be a phrase, or a paragraph that gives you the feel of each chapter. There are 72 chapters.
  • Another page talks about travel. I have a guest posting his story right now. Ron Keleman, is telling us about his trip to India. It is a fasinating story of places that the tourists do not go to. Don’t miss this.
  • A third page is a sports page just for the many Oregon State University Beaver fans that come there to catch up on all the happenings going on in all the sports programs at OSU. It can be very interesting for others as well.
  • The last page is a resource page where I will share articles on coping with everyday life. This is a very popular page.
