This is a new feature that I’ll be implementing over time here at Celtic Connexions. I’ll be talking with authors about what it means to them to receive assistance from other authors and what they’ve done to pay it forward.
I think it’s going to be an exciting project and look forward to it.
Hey Melanie – what a wonderful idea! I would love to be a part, so keep me posted as things develop. Here’s wishing you a stellar weekend ahead! ~Janet~
Thanks for expressing an interest in this project, Janet. It will be a while before it all comes together but I’ll definitely keep you posted!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend, too!
Sounds great!
i’m in!
Great to have you on board, Carol!
What a great idea. I will be e-published next spring and the publishing company encourages its authors to support and promote each other.
Congratulations on your publishing success, Jane! I look forward to hearing more about your book as your publication date draws closer.
Great idea, Melanie. I’d like to join in. As a fellow Celt (resident in Glenshee) I love the name of your website.
Brilliant, Hilda! I’ll be happy to have you here.
You’re just full of good ideas. I might steal some of them. Where would we be without other authors that know what we’re going thru. Thanks, Melanie.
Excellent idea, Melanie! Where would we be without other authors; especially, where would I be? Thanks for a super project. I’m looking forward to learning even more from talented authors like you!
So glad you dropped by, Jo. I’m looking forward to hosting you here in the coming weeks.
This site is much needed and will be readily used. Thanks.
Dear Melanie,
You interviewed me once before, and now I am reaching out for a repeat, only I couldn’t find a contacts link.
My daughter died in December, and to honour her memory, I had my 20th book published: “The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement.” As part of healing from my loss, I want to reduce the suffering of others insofar as it is within my power, and this book is my tool.
Sooner or later, everyone experiences the death of someone in their life. But also, anyone with a shred of empathy suffers second-hand grief at the effects of terrible wars, of extreme greed, of hate and discrimination, of climatic disasters. My book lays out the research-based techniques to handle grief caused by anything. These are the activities I have used to resolve my personal loss.
You can read about the book at http://grief.lhpress.com
Can we have a public chat about it?
