Season 3 first Guest - Cecilia De Gzell
I was so excited to do this interview with Cecilia. I am a fan of the Pitt, Greys Anatomy, Chicago Med and a bunch of other medical dramas. Not as much of a fans as Cecilia who literally wrote the book on it. Working as a Dr IRL has come through was inspiration for her. I have just received a copy of her first 2 books and I am confident there will be so much more from this talented new author.

OWE ANNOUCEMENT - Title 3-13
Book three is another darker spec fic. and I have had to hold myself back from sharing what beasties are making an appearance on this one. Inheritance by Felix Nolan is a grittier story doesn't hold anything back.
When the premise was pitched for this book it peeped out of the shadows with alluring potential. I wanted to know more! There were layers of intrigue in place from the beginning and I wanted to know the answers. Felix had familial history established and worldbuil

How subscribing can level up small business - that includes Authors
Owning your list is important. You may likely have already heard this ad nauseum if you are in the small business world, but it is true. I lost access to Meta before Christmas for almost two weeks and I couldn't do anything about it. I was fortunate enough to have the pages reinstated, but I lost so many contacts at that time that I don't really know what the cost of it was. Because I am only a fledgeling company with limited items for sale, it wasn't immediately noticeable.

What Motivated Mindful March taught me
At the end of February I thought that is would be a fabulous idea to undertake a mindfulness challenge for March. I didn't want to over complicate it. The activities had to be completed within 5 minutes a day. I wanted to highlight the multiple techniques that would calm the mind and help reframe your mindset when in stressful situations. After alll, the best way to learn a different technique is when you are calm. Practicing something new may help add that skill to your ment

R.C. Dacre IBF Minisode
There is a skill that you have to have when creating children's book, a sense or joy and whimsey. Something that not everyone can manage, but it is something that Rachel has in spades. These Sausage Dog adventure books are beautifully created and share the basic stories that are fun to read.

What is a Fiction Reading journal?
The first fiction reading journal I used wasn't really anything special. I had heard of the idea from someone online and thought that would be a great way to keep track of the books I had read and remind me about the stories, months or years down the track. It has come in handy when a third book comes out and I really want to read it, but it was a while ago since I read the first. I write my own opinions in it, so when I read it back to myself it normally brings me back to th

Motivated Mindset March
I thought that it would be fun to start and daily post within the Bushland Pages community. Something that will help people try mindfulness for at least 5 minutes a day. These activities are short and things that you most likely already do every day. I am just writing it down and suggesting people give it a go. People have been sharing their reflections with me and it has been great to hear some of the creative interpretations of these different activities.

Dannielle D. Drummond IBF Minisode
It was a long journey for Danielle to finish her first book and it is well worth the wait. Danielle took all the time that she needed to make sure her Debut was just the way it needed to be. Now, with the ball rolling there are plenty more books to come.
