Books published in 2014
I normally do these blog posts on the last day of the year. However, we have too much going on right now and some things planned for NYE, so I want to get a jump on this annual post while I still can. I am not currently able to use Word or Notepad to help me with the text, as this new computer does not yet have those things on it, but I'll try typing everything into the blog itself and just hope the power doesn't go out, or anything.
This has been a good year for me as far as books are concerned. At the start of the year, my plan was to get a nice mix of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and children's stories out there. Fortunately, I was able to make that happen. I like to offer a little variety with my books every year -- not the same genre or same subject year after year -- and looking back, I must say I accomplished as much.
I am grateful to everyone I had the pleasure of working with this year in my attempts to get books published. Thank you to my co-writer, editors, beta readers, cover designers and illustrator. I am so fortunate to work with you all! Thank you for helping me to put out some awesome books. I look forward to working with all of you again next year!
As to the books, here are the ones I was able to get published this year:
The Warrior Way
Blurb:
Through a process of meditation and inner reflection, author Dawn Colclasure was inspired to write about 32 messages that came to be defined as "the warrior way."

The Warrior Way
Blurb:
"The
warrior way is a philosophy, a standard of principles and ethics
one can adopt without struggle. It
represents the divine warrior spirit within all of us, the enduring
strength of the
fighter prepared to stand up for
what is most important: The Self. For in recognizing the Self and
honoring the Self,
the warrior learns to adapt to the
rigors of society and the difficulties faced along the journey through
this lifetime."--
from the Introduction
Through a process of meditation and inner reflection, author Dawn Colclasure was inspired to write about 32 messages that came to be defined as "the warrior way."
Parenting Pauses: Life as a Deaf Parent
Blurb:
Parenting Pauses will give readers, both deaf and hearing, an inside look into the world of one deaf parent, along with some tips and techniques learned along the way.
Being
a deaf parent isn’t just about not being able to hear
anything—it’s more. From limited
access to information in the medical establishments to daily challenges
in dealing
with discrimination and
communication hurdles, the world of deaf parenting is one fraught with
trials, fears and tribulations
that no other parenting experience
will offer. But at the same time, there is a light at the end of the
tunnel. Deaf parents
CAN conquer those trials, they CAN
overcome those fears and they CAN work around those tribulations in
order to make deaf
parenting work.
Parenting Pauses will give readers, both deaf and hearing, an inside look into the world of one deaf parent, along with some tips and techniques learned along the way.
April Showers
Blurb:
To
many, the month of April is known as National Poetry Month. But
April also brings Earth Day,
National DNA Day and the ever-dreaded Tax Day! April Showers was written
during National Poetry
Month of 2013, in which one poet
wrote at least one poem a day that captured everything she read, saw and
experienced in verse,
as well as celebrating April's
special days.
The GHOST Group, Book Two: The Ghosts of The Irish Setter and The Missing Hiker
Blurb:
Remember the Soldier
Blurb:
They have fought in wars and they have fought on the frontlines. They are the soldiers who stepped up and risked it all to fight for our country. Remember the Soldier is a collection of poems honoring the men and women in uniform who have left behind their homes and families to bravely defend our country, as well as the veterans who served.

A Ghost on Every Corner
Blurb:
There’s a ghost town then there’s a "ghost" town! A Ghost on Every Corner is a collection of stories from paranormal investigators who have done investigations in some of America’s most haunted cities. Read about the ghost haunting a restaurant in Galena, Illinois, or about a Gettysburg Battlefield ghost who follows an investigator home! There’s also Marilyn Monroe’s ghost haunting the famous Roosevelt Hotel, a ghost violently attacking an investigator at the Sallie House and the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe’s adoptive father angrily pushing an investigator down the stairs! You’ll also get to read historical (as well as ghostly!) information about places such as The Alamo, Myrtles Plantation and the famous BirdCage Theatre. Walk with investigators located across the country as they gather evidence about ghosts and go where no other would dare to tread!

It's been a great year for me, as far as writing books and getting some of them published this year is concerned. I have finished writing/revising other books this year and look forward to seeing them published next year, along with a couple of others already submitted to publishers.
Here's to another round of great writing fun in 2015!
Blurb:
There’s
something different about Sarah Town. It’s brimming
with ghosts – and some of those
ghosts need help! That’s where the GHOST Group comes in – the Ghost
Helpers
of Sarah Town. The GHOST Group is
made up of five 11-year-old team members: Jesse, Jenny, Ryan, Trent, and
Cassie.
The Ghost of the Irish Setter is a “ghost dog” story where team member Jesse must come to terms with losing his dog, Lolly, after she ran away. A ghost dog that is an Irish setter seeks Jesse’s help, but when the rest of the GHOST Group join the case, it becomes a matter of life or death after Cassie and Trent are kidnapped! Can the GHOST Group help the ghost dog? And can Jesse find out what really happened to Lolly?
In The Ghost of the Missing Hiker, a day of April Fool’s hijinks turns into another mystery for the GHOST Group. Meanwhile, the group's helper ghost, Adam, has some bad news for the team, and Jenny realizes she must accept her special gift and learn how to use it so she can help other ghosts in Sarah Town.
