Sunday Post #98: Regarding Fanfiction

Hello All ! I mentioned fanfiction in another Sunday Post. However I decided to make this week's post about it. The reason is that I have a short one-shot fic about the Shades of Magic brothers. 

I have it taking place after ACOL but before Threads of Power. There may be a spoiler or two. Also I recently noticed the typos. It is only my third fanfic and I don't have a beta reader.

If you are up to it please check out fanfiction.net/siran84, and please let me know if you see a poll question anywhere in my profile.

The UN-Diet Diet is a health reclamation strategy. It is designed to give the participant simple and effective tools to aid in improving overall health, effectively deal with weight management issues, and to serve as a guide for empowered aging. The program is aimed at those over the age of 55 with existing health compromise. It examines the true genesis of both health and disease through the lens of our evolutionary footprint, drilling down to the essence of what it means to be alive. It is here within the principles which create and maintain life, that we also find the keys to health and longevity.

Read an Excerpt

One unassailable truth is certain: If you buy into the above negative beliefs about getting older, the likelihood of finding satisfaction in life going forward is slim.

However, if you are genuinely committed to feeling better, the ideas I am about to present in the Un- Diet Diet, may open your mind to a different approach for reclaiming and maintaining health...one that just may potentially help save your life. Proceeding through the book, you are going to be shown a strategy for repair, health maintenance, and creative ageing that is in perfect step with our evolutionary footprint. It is here through man’s continuous adaptation over time that we uncover the roots of health and longevity potential.

The pandemic in 2020 has changed the world forever. It was particularly vicious for those over fifty-five, killing many and leaving even more seriously health compromised. The need for new direction when it comes to the fostering a healthy lifestyle has never been more imperative. I believe that for us to continue to successfully thrive we must reconnect with our inherent health potentials which have continuously adapted and evolved over hundreds of thousands of years.

Book Blast: The Highland Heir

 

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Allison B. Hanson will be awarding a $25 Amazon GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

 

Kieran has spent his life living in the shadow of his late older brother. Brody had been the heir his father had loved and wanted, while Kieran was born to a woman his father despised for her betrayal. Kieran has only ever felt the bond of family with his best friend, Ella.

Ella knew one day Kieran would be called on to do his duty to his clan and marry for an alliance. But she never expected his engagement would suddenly force her to see him in such a different way. They’d known each other all their lives, but aside from one exploratory kiss, she had never been attracted to him as a woman is to a man. Until now.

As the time comes for Kieran to marry, he realizes he has feelings he shouldn’t have for the lass who’s been by his side all his life.

When the marriage contract is breached, Kieran hopes it means freedom for them to be together, but instead, it leads to war and a secret that will change their lives forever.

Read an Excerpt

But now, he was expected to sit at the high table and take part in clan business.

Not that he had any idea what kind of business had brought the MacKenzie laird to their lands. His father told him little.

“How is your family?” Rolfe asked, making it sound as if he cared.

“Well, thank ye.” Neil glanced at Kieran and gave a nod. “Your son looks hearty.”

Hearty? Was that the word used to describe a man who stood at least four inches over his father’s tall frame and was wider in the shoulder than the laird as well? Kieran might have sniffed in offense except he knew how much the sound bothered his father, and he didn’t want to be scolded like a lad in front of the MacKenzie.

“Aye. He will make a fine husband to your Isla. Shall we sign the contract and then celebrate with a dram?” Rolfe suggested.

Perhaps Kieran wasn’t as hearty as he’d thought, for he felt the world had just tilted as the words echoed about in his mind. Kieran would make a fine husband? A husband to this man’s daughter?

“Marriage?” The word escaped Kieran’s dry throat.

Rolfe lifted a brow and frowned at Kieran.

“Why do you look so surprised?” his father asked.

Kieran might have answered if he thought he could get the words out. The truth was he looked surprised because he was, in fact, quite surprised. Why did his father act as if it were something they’d just discussed earlier in the day?

It surely wasn’t as if Kieran would have forgotten such a thing as being shackled to a wife he didn’t know.

“You’ve known for as long as you can recall that, as my heir, you would one day be joined in an advantageous marriage when an alliance was required.”

Yes. One day. He didn’t realize it would be so soon and with a complete stranger.

About the Author:

Book Blast: My Thoughts Are Colored Purple

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

GENRE: Poetry 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 BLURB:

This is a book of poems on love. Love is a universal language. Love yourself, love your

neighbours, love your parents, love your siblings—even love your enemies. Most of the poems

are on romantic love. When you are in love, you get an awesome feeling. You walk on the

clouds. However, love can be unrequited, unanswered and can bring an awful feeling.

Love is in the movies, in songs, and in music. Love is in this book of poems, ever so strong and

powerful. It's there for you to enjoy.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

EXCERPT

When we get together

My heart can’t rest, fluttering when I see your memes,

My blood surges, spatters inside, and bounces; it steams.

I don’t know what these mean in my life, my friend,

It’s like a quest but don’t have to guess.

I think that only you can tame this heart of mine,

Stop my blood from rushing wildly, and make me fine.

From where you are, give me a sign

That it’s alright and that God will send you soon to be mine.

Right now, I am taking a step closer to be with you,

So, I am in constant elation as I think of you.

It’s not Coldplay, you are my universe,

Trust me, we will surmount these obstacles and be together someday.
