Hart’s Choice – A Touching Weekend Read

By
Tessa came to me in the summer of 2012 and demanded I tell her story. How could I resist? For one, she was insistent, but it was really her charm and passion for life that infused me to action.

Tessa has a intrinsic taste in classical music and was driven for a career in the arts when most women were getting married. She even performed in 1962 production of The Nutcracker in New York City.

People who have read Hart's Choice are so touched by Tessa's story, they are moved to tears. It's even be said to me that maybe she lived in my house and that's why her life is so vivid on the page. You believe what you want to, but all I know is that this is one story that really touched my heart (and yes, I wrote it, but I'm just telling you how I feel).

If your reading time is limited, or you're looking for a shorter read that will also touch your heart, Hart's Choice may be the book for you.  At only 17,000 words, it's an approximate two-hour read.
It is a story that is touching in its honesty, heartbreaking in its reality, and empowering in its message.  Arnold truly knows how to embody pure emotion, and I doubt there will be very many dry eyes after reading this beautiful novella.
—Katie Jennings, Author of The Dryad Quartet
Carolyn Arnold has written a moving testament to the heartbreak of life with Alzheimer’s...the last few pages grab you by the throat and demand you look reality in the face without blinking.   That’s what you will remember.
—Ann Swan, Author of All For Love

When Family Doesn't Support Your Writing

By
If you can empathize with the title of this post, then you're not alone.  So many writers, myself included, can honestly say they have family members who don't support their writing.  Some may go so far as to tell you they don't even want to hear about what you're working on, what you've done, what your goals are.  That hurts. But think about it this way, in some ways is writing any different that an other life decisions your family may not agree with?  I'm sure, if you're like me, you get very defensive when it comes to your writing.  In fact, I'm not going to deny that it places an iron wedge in the relationships.  After all, if your focus in life is your writing, and they ask so what have you been up to ...what are you supposed to do lie, remain quiet, answer another way even though you're so excited about your current WIP you'd tell a stranger?  Ticking clocks are heard in the background while you decide.

A Big Decision...

For those of you who know me, and follow me on Twitter, you may be aware that I’ve been debating whether to pursue publishing traditionally, or take the plunge and self-publish.  With all the “buzz” on the internet, and after great consideration, I have decided to go ahead and self-publish. I had asked myself, does this mean I’m giving up ?  And, the answer is irrevocably no.  Self-publishing used to carry a type of stigma that somehow labelled the work as adhering to a lower standard, but things have changed.  Authors are taking pride in their work like never before, and just because of the increasing ease to self-publishing, they’re not allowing this to affect the quality. In making my decision, I also considered the fact that just because a book is published traditionally it doesn’t mean that it will meet with success.  Many self-published books have received awards, honourable mentions, and have met with even more-than-modest sales.  In fact, there’s ...

Write What You Love

By
We've all heard the advice, write what you know.  There's been a lot of debate over this piece of advice.  Some see it as valid direction while others argue that there wouldn't be any books if we just wrote what we know.  For example, how many mystery novels are written by real-life detectives?  And, I guess that advice is null when it comes to fantasy genres, and historical fictional works.  No fairy from Neverland wrote a book, and no one from over a hundred years ago can write a book currently.   But, this doesn't mean that we can get sloppy, in fact more work is involved, and this is why writing what we love supersedes all, in my opinion.  How else would we get motivated, and stay motivated to see a novel through to the end? In fact isn't it love for what we’re writing what pushes us through to the conclusion even when we may find the interest in our book weaning, or through the rough middles?  Isn't it the love for what we're writing that f...
