Check Out These Books for Summer Reading

 I have either ghost-wrote, co-authored or edited all these books. If you haven't checked out the books yet, you might want to consider reading them. They all will help you in some way. Let's get started.


Common Sense by James E Razzino is a thought-provoking book to cut through the noise about issues affecting the United States. The government is chipping away at our rights. As authors and business owners, we should protect our freedoms and rights to say whatever we want. The book also will help you decide who to elect for Congress, president, governor, state legislatures and councils. Go to https://www.amazon.com/author/jameserazzino to get your copy.


Are you having back pain? You should read this book before you agree to have surgery on your back. Michael Ahearn went through four back surgeries, and now his back doesn't align correctly. He has had issues stemming from the surgeries. However, The Back Bible is more than one man's account of bad surgeries. It quotes chiropractors, experts in new surgery techniques and others. The book also provides alternatives to surgery to dealing with pain. It is available on Amazon in print and electronic versions.


Summer is a time when people overdo it on celebrating or vacationing. They can drink too much on a boat or have too much time on their hands and have to fill that void with drugs or alcohol. Hanging by Faith by Dee Sanders and Louise Harris delves into the effects of addiction on family and friends of the addicted person. Dee uses her background as a bailbondswoman and bounty hunter to give a unique perspective on the problems of addiction. She also had to deal with her son almost dying due to an overdose. Louise comes to the issue from her son who was addicted to drugs and got into police trouble since he was 14. The book is on Amazon. Go to https://www.amazon.com/author/louiseharris to buy your copy.



For lighter reads, get a copy of one of my novels from The 1776 Series of books. The newest one is The 1776 Soldier. They are all romantic suspense. The 1776 Scroll of Secrets is also fantasy. The stories are intriguing with a nod to the Revolutionary War but are set in modern day. The newest one goes back and forth from present to past. Scroll begins in the summer and Bed and Breakfast ends in the summer. All my readers say they can read my books in one day, so not a huge time commitment. Get your summer reads at https://www.amazon.com/author/louiseharris. 



If you want to find an activity to do with your children this summer, you can try out the recipes in these cookbooks. Mary Buckman is the pseudonym of Penny Harris, who worked as a chef at Bon Appetit in Dunedin, Fla. She also tells stories of struggles, pain and joy in both books. She talks about celebrating and comforting others with food. She says "food is my love language." Show your love for your family and get these cookbooks. Go to https://www.amazon.com/author/marybuckman.

Rainbows Provide Beautiful Inspiration

    In June, rainbows are used for ugly references to people who do things they shouldn't. Instead of using rainbows as symbols for that, try using rainbows for inspiration for your writing. 1. Beautiful Colors -- If you have ever seen rainbows after a storm in the sky, the colors are vivid against a dark stormy sky . These can make you think of colorful descriptions for your settings. Everyone knows the seven colors of a rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and indigo). However, the colors of the sky can range from a bluish gray to a deep charcoal when a rainbow appears. Those bright colors against the deep charcoal can be impactful.  2. Resilience -- They also can represent resilience of your characters. When a rainbow appears, it is usually after much destruction has happened. In your stories , the characters might have had to endure something similar and came through the problem with stronger life. They are shown to be resilient. In addition to fiction, rainbows

Settings Give You Time and Place

  In addition to my editing , writing and marketing , I also coach writing for fiction and nonfiction . Many people are unsure how to start. I like to start with characters and setting. When you begin a novel, you have to decide on a setting. It is more than a place. Settings also include time of day, seasons and the year a novel takes place. Settings also could be a state of mind. For example, sometimes, novels are set in people's minds where the main character has created a world. Sci-Fi and Fantasy use people's minds as a setting a lot. Inception or Ready Player 1 are two movies that are primarily in people's minds.  All my novels take place in Philadelphia in modern day. The times and seasons fluctuate depending on what the story is. Many are near the Delaware River, which is the above picture. In my latest book, The 1776 Soldier , I have two settings, one set in fall of 1776 and one in fall of 2023. This was my first time using two different settings. It was a

How to Get Started With Writing in New Year

  Happy new year, fellow writers. I am often told by new authors that they think writing a book is too much work or too daunting a task, yet they always tell me that they think they should write a book. To start the new year, I thought it would be good to give some tips on reducing your stress over writing fiction. 1. Set Goals -- January is the perfect time to set goals for the year. This applies to all writers and business owners. You want the goals to be realistic. For example, "I will write every day." Set a date for when you want it completed. Set another date for editing and marketing . 2. Break Down the Project -- Before you start your work, break down the big project (a completed book) into smaller parts: outline, 10 pages a day or one chapter a week, first draft completed, edited draft, completed manuscript and published. This helps to make it not so daunting a task. Remember, a book is either 6x9 or 8.5x5.5, which means those 10 pages are really half
