Featuring Author Donna Daniels Wade!

Today I am featuring another Publish America author, Donna Daniels Wade.
Her book is "Wisteria Trees and Honeybees" ISBN # 978-1-4489-8986-7, and you
can learn how to obtain a signed copy by visiting her website
www.HoneyBeeDreams.com
From her website you can also listen to some of her children's stories and
songs.

Her children's book, "A Simple Christmas Wish", has been accepted by Publish
America for publication. She expects it to be released closer to Christmas.

"My hobbies," Wade says, "include sailing, songwriting, singing and of
course, writing. I enjoy reading a variety of things including works by
Danielle Steele, Dean Koontz and John Grisham, just to name a few. I
actually didn't start out wanting to be a writer. I started writing my
story more as therapy but then my imagination took off and Wisteria Trees
and Honeybees was created. My story is the result of ideas springing from
experiences, some mine and some others', mixed with a bit of humor and a lot
of imagination. Most ideas for stories come from life experiences or from
songs.

Wade believes her book is special, because "most people, young or old, can
relate to parts of it; for example, the feeling of being alone even in a
crowd or the feeling of helplessness. It covers the full range of emotions,
from hate and bitterness to courage and happiness. Readers will be
encouraged to look beyond what the world has taken from them and discover
what they can give to the world. Wisteria Trees and Honeybees is a story of
faith."

"The best advice I can give aspiring authors," she encourages, "is to write
for you, not for someone else. The story has to be yours, from your heart.
For me, writing is therapy. I just happened to choose to share it so that
others may be inspired and benefit from it."

Thank you Donna, and thank you readers. God bless.

Another Author Interview

Hello all. Today I'm featuring another first-time author. His name is Doug
Jackson and his book is "The State of America, a Journal by Doug Jackson".
It's published through Publish America.
www.publishamerica.com

Jackson's hobbies include Tennis and painting, and when asked, says when he
isn't writing, he is reading and vise versa. Hunter Thompson, Charles
Bukowski and Ralph Emerson are his favorite authors.

Jackson began as a lyricist and believes that what he calls the "downfall of
humanity" and the problems in today's society are what give him inspiration.
In his own words, he states, "I am the voice of one crying in the
wilderness. Hopefully the reader will get a feeling of hope in mankind from
reading my book."

When I asked Jackson if he had any advice for someone who wishes to become a
published author, he said, "Keep writing, the material and our growth is
what's important."

I asked Doug if there was anything else he would like to share with us, and
he answered, and I quote, "The human consciousness has been drowned out by
distraction.
We, as a people are consumed daily by irrelevance and computers.
Watch someone when they are alone, they cannot be without the cell phone for
a second.
Insecurity has taken over because we do not think for ourselves anymore, I'm
not
sure if we ever did.
Compassion for the fellow human being has taken a back seat in today's
society.
How many days will pass until the actual apocalypse is upon us?
I for one believe it is wavering above our heads today.
Without a complete restructuring of mentality we are doomed.
Faith can only go so far, as the man on a row boat in the middle of the
ocean, praying
to make it to shore without paddling."
