Paying it Forward

We often forget to let people know how much we appreciate them and what they do.

​I strongly believe that when we send out positive energy by doing something nice to others, that positive vibe will come back to us from a different, unexpected direction.

Do something nice today, let someone know how much you appreciate them.

Most Indie authors are unrecognized and unappreciated

Indie authors and books are often unrecognized and unappreciated by readers.
Readers might think that books not published by big name Publishers are not well written or poorly edited, and because the book doesn't sell thousands of copies, it can't be good.

I work with a lot of Indie authors and I can tell you that the majority of the stories are amazing. Indie authors are not bound by the publisher's rules that dictates the authors how and what to write. Publishers want popular genres, certain character development, and exciting, sensational and popular story-line that sells the books.

Indie authors write from the heart and are not restricted by rules but they don't have the financial freedom, such as big publishers, to advertise their books. The majority of Indie authors have to rely on word of mouth advertisement by readers.

When I find the time to read my favorite genres, historical fantasy and suspense, I don't browse the big publishers' website, I look for books on my fellow authors' websites because I know I can find the most original stories there.

The "People's Poet"

Picture
​In my opinion, Cindy deserves the "People's Poet" title.
​In her own unique voice, her poems speak to everyone.

I got Cindy's books a few years ago and my hubby still keeps them on his favorite books shelf and reads a poem or two when he wants to relax.

My experience when I read Cindy's first poetry book:

"I've been reading this poetry collection the past few days, when I had a few minutes to read. At first, I was choosing poems by the titles that grabbed me, such as Jasmine, My Angel, Family Conflict and Dawn, and then I realized that every poem talks about deep feelings which I can either relate to or enjoy, I started reading the poems from the beginning, one by one.

Reading about joy, love, sorrow, loss, heartache and life's little happy moments and enjoyments sometimes made me laugh, sigh or brought tears to my eyes.

Reading the poems made me feel like Cindy is my sister, who is sitting with me in my living room, sipping coffee and telling me about her experiences and feelings, in her own unique voice.

Nothing too fancy or loaded with metaphors and words I would need a dictionary to understand, just simple, beautiful poems. Reading Cindy's poems is like listening to relaxing music.

Thank you for writing such beautiful poems, Cindy."
