My slip is showing

by Karen, posted in books, no fear, quest for the best, Someone's gotta say it, writing

I have recently become aware of some minor formatting issues with my book, which I will be addressing in the next printing. 😀 Wasn't that mature of me? An amazingly calm reaction, since my inner critic and inner perfectionist are usually hard at work full-time, preventing me from letting anyone see my fiction writing, never … Continue reading My slip is showing

It’s called FICTION

by Karen, posted in The write words at the write time, writing

In case you haven't heard, I've written a novel, One Brave Thing.  My novel is (of course, by definition) a work of fiction. In case you haven't heard, fiction is a work of the imagination. Like Barney the beloved dinosaur before her, Bebe is an imaginary character. I have included a definition here for your … Continue reading It’s called FICTION

Poetic license, people! Heard of it?

by Karen, posted in author, books, quest for the best, The write words at the write time, writing

I have been reading and reviewing books for years. Years. I haven't loved all of them, but with only one (to my knowledge) notable exception*, I was not ever unkind to the author in my review. If I liked or loved a book, I said so. If I didn't, then I moved on. Just because … Continue reading Poetic license, people! Heard of it?

My first radio interview at Elemental Energies with Chris Ann

by Karen, posted in author, books, local fun, Meditation, Metaphysical healing, my one word, no fear

I had the good luck to be Chris Ann's guest on her live radio talk show last night on unitedpaganradio.net (WUPR). What a great experience! Chris Ann made me at home from the moment I entered her studio. We talked about my book and my other writings and doings. We also discussed ways of manifesting things … Continue reading My first radio interview at Elemental Energies with Chris Ann

My first book signing

by Karen, posted in author, books, writing

I found out at the last minute New England Authors Expo having an author event last Friday night. Fortunately, it wasn't too late to participate! I had fun and met some very nice people! I brought my books and my daughter came to help me. Highlights: One woman said my book is "exactly the kind of book … Continue reading My first book signing

Boston Flower Show

by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, local fun, restaurants

My husband and I usually go to the Portland Flower Show every year, but as you many know, there wasn't one this year. We hadn't been to the Boston Flower Show in, um, decades, but we both had fond memories of all of it except the getting there and getting home part. We thought about … Continue reading Boston Flower Show

My book is published! (part 2)

by Karen, posted in author, books, friends, local fun, no fear

It's been a busy week! I was at Will's Copy Center yesterday, ordering some bookmarks (Maine Author!!) and flyers and such, when I ran into my friend, Denise. She was saying that it must be hard, putting the book out into the world. I said, "Yes! Thank you for validating that! It's terrifying!" This is true. … Continue reading My book is published!

My book is published!

by Karen, posted in author, love and marriage, relationships

Thank you to everyone for hanging in there for my five year journey from writer to published author. It wasn't always pretty. (Okay, it was hardly ever pretty) In the end, it was worth every minute. I hope my family, friends, and readers agree. Here is the link to buy my book: http://www.amazon.com/One-Brave-Thing-K-Creamer/dp/1523347899/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1456972016&sr=8-3&keywords=ONE+BRAVE+THING I welcome … Continue reading My book is published!

Give me the flowers

by Karen, posted in Angels, Grace, local fun, Metaphysical healing, my one word

This month, I felt drawn to attend one of Melissa Boyd's programs where she channels messages from spirit, but I had no one to go with. By nature I am an introvert, and typically I am not a person who likes to go places alone. Other than, you know, a coffee shop with a book. … Continue reading Give me the flowers
