The Alaska Trilogy has become The Alaskan Heart Saga!

Blame it on my muse! I take no responsibility for this change of events. I was writing the trilogy like I should when all of a sudden my muse didn't want to end the Trilogy. I went to my fans and asked the question, 'would they like to see the Alaska Trilogy live on' and 99% of them were excited about the change.

My novels are around 350 pages. I also posed the question, would prefer to wait till winter for the next book in the series or would they prefer I broke it up in smaller books (around 150 pages) so I could get the next book in the series out by summer. Again I had 99% say they wanted to continue the journey and couldn't wait for the next book in the series.

So then, I had the problem of creating a title for the series and again, I went to my fans.    I had a lot of wonderful ideas but my favorite was one posted by Donna Seger Kilroy. She suggested The Alaskan Heart.  

So yes, the count down begins... The third book in the Saga will be out in a few months!

COMING THIS SUMMER!

I was looking through my blog and although I have to say it is pretty pitiful with it's 3 little postings there is something I thought I would share. If you look through the postings... the beginning of the year I had made a commitment to rekindle the passion of life. For me writing has always been a passion and the birth of the Alaskan Trilogy has been something very important to me. Less then a year ago I hadn't even considered writing a novel, it wasn't even a bleep on the radar. The Impostor, A Love Story sold over 100 ebooks the first weekend it was out thanks to you all! Please continue to help get the word out! It is only with your help that I am realizing this dream. Thank you! The second book in the Trilogy, Obsession and Sacrifice will be out this winter.

We have only a couple months till the end of the world...What are your dreams? What are your aspirations? Let's finish this year together with a bang!

I thought I would share with you some amazing things from fans: This week we will begin with...

From The Chains Of My Brokenness

Flashback  from January 2012      

 From The Chains Of My Brokenness  

So who am I and why should you follow my journey? Truth is I lost myself long ago and I am trying to find me. I lost myself by falling in love with and marrying the wrong man, a man that made me second guess my own worth and abused me mentally and physically for years.

Sometimes I have to sing the song by Pink in the kitchen at the top of my lungs hoping the neighbors aren’t watching,  “I lost my husband, I don’t know where he went.” It makes me laugh now. I really don’t know where he is. He left me and my children abandoned with no financial support years ago. He pops up in the area from time to time making promises he never keeps and is off again, only to rekindle the wounds. I had been brainwashed into the feeling I was worthless and inadequate and I couldn’t survive on my own.But somehow I have. I can’t say the journey has been easy. Many nights we didn’t know if we would be homeless. Many cold winters we suffered without electricity and many days we didn’t have food to eat but somehow, although the loom of possible homelessness was never far from the horizon, we have survived and I appreciate the little things in life. Like the moon last night did you see it? Breath taking? Even if I had been homeless I would have still been able to receive that gift.

This will be my journey from imprisonment to freedom. I shall reveal my voyage away from the shackles of an oppressive and abusive relationship to my innate struggle for survival perhaps in flashbacks sometimes.  I will expose my flight, from the chains of my brokenness and the captivity of my own inhibitions, to not giving a crap what others think of me and just “doing it!”.  I chose to find myself this year! I chose to live! Join me as I scribble my conquest for all to see from barely surviving to the empowerment of triumph. At least I can hope that will be the outcome, I am sure there will be a few bumps along the way.

But this blog will be about someone who was broken, picking up the pieces. And although I have some pieces missing, I will duct tape “me” together and just go out there and start a new chapter in my life anyway! So who am I? I am an aspiring novelist, singer, artist, mom, world traveler, teacher, dancer, and happy person. Oh yea, and aspiring fitness goddess. (Okay so that one is a really really long shot but we can have dreams right.) Most of these things are things I let die along the way that I am hoping to rediscover in myself.
I have decided if the world is ganna end this year I better get off my tush and start makin’ things happen! So much of life is stolen because of waiting for the perfect day, the perfect time… when I lose weight, when I am more prepared. The truth is there is no day like today! 

I can’t tell you how many things I have just not done because I didn’t feel I was ready, I was worthy etc. but I am tired of waiting on the sidelines for the stars to align I think I am just going to jump in feet first and hope my flailing to stay afloat provides some entertainment for someone!Here goes!

Pass it on for Papa

For Father's Day I celebrate the life of my dad, Larry Callen! 

He lived his life doing random acts of kindness. 

When he passed away we began a campaign asking people to 

"Pass it on for Papa!" 

If we all did a little, we could change the world!

This video shows how just doing simple acts of kindness
can become contagious! 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc8ZbVcdHpg&feature=player_embedded

Please join me in remembering his life and his love! 

Please post memories you may have of this amazing man 

who touched so many lives. 

Or tell me about how someone has done a random act of kindness for you. 

Spend the next week doing little things, 

like helping someone with their groceries, 

calling someone just to say you care, 

paying the toll for the person behind you... 

Make a difference! 

Pass it on for Papa!

And Tell me your story!

The perfect song to inspire you!

Let's set the world on fire!

Sometimes I find it hard to understand why the essence of the soul seems to go unrecognized. In the hustle bustle of everyday life I find often I become anonymous to the world around me as I struggle to survive. I often become anonymous to myself as well.

The once vibrant girl full of life and ready to conquer the world becomes broken by the betrayal and cruelty of others.

In a world where lovers are heartbreakers and goals and ambitions seem to get whisp away by the crashing tide it is easy to lose oneself or one’s way.

So how is it that we can reignite that spark that creates and inferno of brilliance, of hope, of energy, of life?

An inferno that blazes thru whatever darkness that tries to blind us of our own light?

This year I must find that spark, letting it open my eyes and light the way. Come with me! Let’s set the world on fire.  Help me create a combustion that will redirect lost ambition and hopelessness to a reclaiming of the soul.-Tiffany Carmouche
