#12 (Horizons Unfolding) can be Pre-Ordered!

If you celebrate Christmas, I hope yours was as wonderful as mine! If you celebrate Hanukkah, Chag urim sameach! If you celebrate Kwanzaa, this is your day!  May your life be filled with community and joy! And now I have an announcement to make… (and some prizes to give away!) I’m finally ready to put the release date of Horizons Unfolding (#12) in concrete!  It goes against my belief system to announce a release without having some prizes!  I’ll give away 100+ books for the official release date of January 27th, but for all those who want to Pre-Order, I want you to have Prizes too!  Read this carefully so you can join in the fun… I apologize in advance that Amazon is only set up to Pre-Order on Kindle.  All of you who buy the Print version, you will be able to register for the book Giveaway as soon as Horizons Unfolding is Live! PRE-RELEASE PRIZES! I’m GIVING AWAY 4 KINDLE FIRES over the next 4 weeks – 1 each week.  (January 2, 9, 16 & 23) It’s very simple… If you Pre-order Looking To The Future this week (before January 1st) you will be entered into the drawing on January 2nd – and you will also be entered into each of the other 3 drawings. If you order it after January 2nd, you’ll be entered into the 2nd drawing, as well as the 3rd and 4th drawing. Bottom line… the sooner you order it, the more chances you will have to WIN one of the Kindle Fire! AND… you will automatically be entered into the drawing that will happen on January 27th for all the books I will be signing and giving away! Here’s how it works…  You’re going to have to click to 2 different places, but it is VERY EASY! You can go ahead and purchase the book now.  CLICK HERE.  It will be delivered to your Kindle, or other reading device, at 12:01 on January 27, 2018. Once you have purchased, you will CLICK HERE to go to the page to register for the Prize! The winners will be announced each Tuesday – starting January 2, 2018! Right now, it is only available as an E-book on Pre-Order because Create Space (the company I use for my print books) does not offer a Pre-Release order program.  Sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it! 😦  My print readers will be able to order it on the 27th as soon as you wake up. 🙂 Click Here to Pre-order NOW!   And then come back here to click the link above to enter for the Kindle Fire Prizes! The next 12 months are going to be “Writing Months” – you can anticipate # 13 sooner than normal, as well. 🙂 **********************

As we head into a New Year every single one of us has hopes and dreams for the months to come.  We also have doubts and fears… Can we truly make this year different?  Can we make our life better?  Can we fulfill our goals?  I’m going to share with you something that I wrote years ago – something that is a constant encouragement to me as I work toward creating the life I dream of… How many times have you been discouraged because someone else didn’t see the brilliance of what you created, thought of, or wanted to do?  How many times have you walked away from something because you decided it wasn’t a good idea, too? Consider these… ·        The movie Star Wars was rejected by every movie studio in Hollywood before 20th Century Fox finally produced it. It went on to be one of the largest-grossing movies in film history. ·        As a child, Sylvester Stallone was frequently beaten by his father and told he had no brains. He grew up an unhappy loner. He floated in and out of schools. An advisor at Drexel University told him that based on his aptitude tests he should pursue a career as an elevator repair person. It’s not a bad profession but it’s certainly not where “Rocky” ended up! ·        Einstein was criticized for not wearing socks or cutting his hair. He didn’t speak until he was four, and didn’t read until he was seven. One observer noted, “He could be mentally retarded”. ·        An expert said of Vince Lombardi:  “He possesses minimal football knowledge. Lacks motivation.” ·        Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher proclaimed him hopeless as a composer. ·        Walt Disney was fired from his job as a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he created Disneyland. ·        Henry Ford failed and went broke 5 times before he finally succeeded. ·        Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress.  She would certainly never be a writer. ·        In 1944, the director of the Blue Book Modeling Agency, told modeling hopeful Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), “You’d better learn secretarial work, or else get married.” So… what are your ideas?  Your thoughts?  Your dreams?  Who cares if anyone supports what you want to do? The important thing is for YOU to believe.  For YOU to ignore the people who say you can’t do it – and DO IT ANYWAY!  It takes courage.  It takes persistence.  It takes believing in the “voice inside” when no one else does. Ideas, dreams and visions are planted within you because you have the ability to make them happen.  You’ll learn, grow, scramble, fail, and get back up again!  The important thing is to simply never give up.  The people I told you about never did – and they made great things happen!

Have you made me cry?? Or laugh?? Or made me so very glad I have the best readers in the world??

If you’ve written a review of one of my books, you probably did. 🙂 Every time I get a little overwhelmed by the pressures of research or writing, I go to Amazon and read my Reviews. They never fail to give me the motivation and energy to continue forward.

As I bring # 12 (Horizons Unfolding) to life, it would mean the world to me if you would go and leave a review for one (or more) of The Bregdan Chronicles. I will consider it a personal message from you to me…

I’m even going to make it easy for you. 🙂

Some of the reviews I received this week  (they brought such joy to my heart!):

I just finished Storm Clouds Rolling In.  Reviews I read were very true. I was hooked from the very first chapter! It’s a must read for everyone who loves an excellent read. Historical novel that not only tells us a story, but also makes us think about ourselves and others as humans with soul and spirit that longs for freedom to be who we are meant to be

 

The history of the civil war is taught to all of Americans as children. Authors like Ginny Dye offer personal and pertinent perspectives of the character of the people who lived through it. This book is an extremely well written personal account! The characters are brought to life with clarity and heart. Read this book! I couldn’t put it down, and will begin another as soon as a finish thanking Ms. Dye for sharing her talents. You have one more loyal reader, Ginny. Looking forward to more sleepless nights.

 

I absolutely love the historical fiction of these books. The characters are marvelous, expecially Moses and Rose. The books keep you enthralled with the detail and suspense. I am now on book 4. Plan to read them all.

 

I have completed the series and would definitely recommend. It was educational but in story format. I tried to read other books in between but found I had to go back to the series. Will definitely be watching for the next one in 2018.
