Writing In A Foreign Language by Alex Laybourne

I moved to the Netherlands in 2006. It wasn’t really a big adjustment for me as I had always wanted to leave England, or certainly the area I lived in, and with my mother being Dutch, and me moving to the same town she grew up in – that is another story entirely – you could say I really was moving to a home away from home.

Now, almost five years down the road I am married, with three wonderful children and have never regretted making the move. However, I have learned that being…

I've been spinning my own webs for a while now. One strand is my site (www.MillerWords.com), another is Authors.com, Facebook (and countless other social sites) and then, of course, this blog.

Another neat thing is all the people in "the… Continue

Almost Done!

Received news from my illustrator today that he is almost finished with the drawings for "My Angel in a Doggy Suit". Hopefully it will be on Amazon and in bookstores soon. "I'm Happy to be Me" is going strong and I am enjoying reading it for all the kids in the school system I work for. Oh Oh Oh...just finished "I Used to Be Mean" and that should be rolling forward quickly. So much to do and so little time to do it, but man oh man it is fun!

All I Can Do Is Stand By Aleja Bennett

After you've done all you can-You just stand. I have a book that has been given to me by God. The Holy spirit was upon me the whole time as I wrote this powerful book.

Often so many times in our lives we forget that we have been standing through the most devastating tragedies that life has thrown at us. The tears wouldn't stop falling as each page was written. After completion my whole life…

"Free" Publishing Scan Exposed
