Lost my appetite….darkness and light…..

Recently, I watched a documentary, “Seaspiracy” on Netflix and I cried through the entire thing. Many scenes, I had to close my eyes and turn down the volume…I could not bear to see the blood of the dolphins and whales being slaughtered and their cries to each other…….


My son watched the documentary too. He said, “Mom, in “ When Myloh met Sorry,” you portrayed the fisherman as kind. Maybe in the third book, you should address the fishing industry that is creating extinction of sea life and the cruelty." “Dolphin safe” is NOT safe, it’s a lie….


“Wow”…..Myloh’s Ocean Adventures is a children’s book….and yet adults read it too. I feel a third “Myloh” mission forming….research and diplomacy. Ethics, compassion and awareness….action…..


Myloh Book 1

This book is such a beautiful story. Great for children to learn about friendships, and keeping the environment clean and how to say sorry. This book is an absolute must read to children. Beautifully written and very understandable for children.

A delightful story about Sorry, the helium balloon and her adventures across the ocean. A message book about saving the plant and plastic pollution. A delight to read to all children, grandchildren. A story with a simple message to prompt further important conversation. Great illustrations to capture children's imagination.

Myloh Book 2


“Butterfly effect” my friends….oh goodness….my ‘fiction’ bubble is sprinkled in a dose of reality….sending love out into the world!!


Update on my series “Tae Sung’s Peculiar Life “ ….. “Tae Sung 180 Degrees “ is the second book that took a ‘time out’ on the shelf, while Myloh’s Ocean Adventure Series caught some waves.


“Tae Sung 180 Degrees”, has been a very emotional book for me to write. There is a lot of ‘me’ in the protagonist and the life changes he is facing in this book. I cry through many of the chapters I am writing and it is much more emotionally channeled than my other books. The ‘story arc’ is still ‘rising’ and the map is unknown as it continues to flow….Tae Sung is a special ‘zone’ that I tap into. Somedays, I feel like I need to make an appointment! Rest assured….I am still aiming for a late spring 2021 release. Thanks for reading the first book….the second book is MUCH longer! 😊

The Secret of the McMoine Castle

image

History repeats itself, at least in a superstitious village on the fictional northwest coast of Ireland. Cecile, a young American tourist, finds herself mistaken for the ghost of a McMoine princess who lived four hundred years earlier. Using her disguise as the ghost to subvert the machinations of a power-hungry prince against his inoffensive brother, the heroine strives to avert the catastrophe that destroyed the former princess. Beautiful color full-page illustrations adorn the text.

Mystery Awaits!

How to become authors- Writing About the Difficult Things

Elizabeth's thoughts...life... Of all the self improvement books I have read and 'how to' do this or that; it seems that often they have a common theme. Keep a journal, write down your thoughts and don't over think it.  Recently, I took a "Master Class" taught by a renowned author Joyce Carol Oates based on her book; "The Faith of a Writer: Life, Craft, Art" .   One thing that stuck with me was her message that to be a successful author, you have to write about the difficult things. Confronting the taboo topics no one wants to talk about. She suggested that people read to align with life issues that they have no outlet for. I have pondered this notion a bit and what I have come to realize that it is truly much easier to write about the beautiful sunsets and happy events. It takes courage and transparency to write about your own private 'life events.' I am addressing the times in one's life when you thought you would surely die...

 It's SOUP Season!!! And there are a lot of different types of soups out there!! Well, being an author and and educator, I seem to use a lot of idioms and metaphors. So, I was thinking of 'soup idioms' and how a few of them spoke to me beginning in November! First I was struck by "to soup something up" while listening to a YouTube guru suggesting I need more exercise!  "Gotta soup up my exercise." ....hhmmm....truer words have never been spoken! I was so motivated that I took the cellophane wrapper off my Jane Fonda VHS aerobic video! Jane and I go way back and she has been packed and moved more times than I care to admit. I guess I should let her go....can't find my VHS player...or the 8 track to play my Foreigner 4 and Toto tracks on...dang where does the time go?!! Did I just hint at my age? Huumppff...think I will have some "Giggle soup!" ( also know as an "old fashioned" alcohol drink) SHOUT OUT LOUD!! I FEEL LIKE WHACKING A ...
