Smorgasbord Blog Magazine

 

Over the last two weeks I have been featuring the contributors to this anthology of true and significant events. Writers share intimate and life changing events in their lives with courage and honesty whilst inspiring others.

Compiled by author Stevie Turner – the proceeds from this anthology will be going to Cancer Research and it is a very worthy cause.

Here is the link to the previous post where you can also find the link to the first posts in the series: Contributors Part Five

About the anthology

The following authors and bloggers answered questions posed by Stevie Turner regarding significant life experiences they had undergone. These events include sexual abuse, a near death experience, alcoholism, being diagnosed with cancer, depression, losing weight, getting married, being a mother to many children, being the daughter of a narcissistic mother, and many more!

It was thanks to a gentle nudge from one of the contributors to this anthology, Clive Pilcher, that I finally got around to finishing the anthology I started about 2 years’ ago.

Understanding is a collection of true life events undergone by 20 authors/bloggers (yes, Stevie is one of the 20 – my thanks to Miriam Hurdle for my questions) who were kind enough to write about their experiences by each answering 15 – 20 questions that I put to them.  Understanding may be able to help anybody going through similar life events, and it is available for pre-order on Amazon today.  It will be published on April 5th 2019.  All proceeds will be donated to Cancer Research (price of the book is $0.99 / £0.99).

My thanks go to Alienora Browning (sexual abuse), Sally Cronin (losing weight), Dorinda Duclos (a near death experience), Scarlett Flame (mother of many boys), Bernard Foong (a harem boy), Darlene Foster (bereavement), Janet Gogerty (getting married), Debbie Harris (a school trip tragedy), Lucy V Hay (teenage pregnancy), Miriam Hurdle (melanoma), Phil Huston (smoking and hypertension), Pamela Jessen (chronic pain and hip replacement), Joe (caffeine addiction), D. G Kaye (daughter of a narcissist), Lynda McKinney Lambert (a visitation from Spirit), Jaye Marie (giving up smoking), Clive Pilcher (depression), Abbie Johnson Taylor (becoming a carer), and Beem Weeks (alcoholism).

 

 

Cover Reveal for the New ‘Understanding’ Anthology

I thought I’d share the lovely cover that Laura at LLPix Designs has created for my new anthology Understanding.  So far there’s 16 of us taking part, and there’s insight into many significant life experiences.  All the royalties will go to  Cancer Research.

I’m still on the lookout for anybody willing to answer 20 of my questions on the following two topics:

A mother who has coped with a large number of children (at least 6).

A wedding day with a difference.

What do you think of my cover?  Great isn’t it?

Hope to publish in June or July when all the answers are in to my questions.
