"Flying Stories II" Subtitled: How I Came to Be a Pilot and Engineer and What Happened After That (Non-Fiction) What was it like to be a part of the generation born in the 1930s was too late to fly dirigibles or be barnstormers. They were too young to fly the B-17s and P-51s or design the new post war aircraft like the P-80 jet and Bell X-1 rocket, but they picked up where the aviation pioneers left off and established the United States as the unchallenged world leader in the aviation industry.  Flying Stories, the author's second book, is about one of those kids, too young to go to the last big war, but who grew up in the midst of it. One of the faceless thousands of young engineers who helped make air travel safer than riding a bus.

I've written as a freelancer, and have completed a bunch of novels, and have also taught college full time and then for a prison program that was summarily closed by a Republican governor. One of my Smashwords novels, From Renata With Love, makes use of what I learned then from one of my inmate students.

I've published two novels on Kindle: Attila as Told to His Scribes, and I, Zerco, both set in the 5th century in or near the Roman Empire. The first is a first-person fictional autobiography of Attila the Hun, telling of his life from the incident which sent him as hostage to the Roman capital (Ravenna) as a young man, through his triumphs, to his death, narrated by his last scribe.

I, Zerco tells his own story. A contemporary of Attila, a Moor who ended up in Attila's court, according to a Roman eyewitness account, his story begins in the North African mountains. He is always a lover, but he's enslaved by Romans and subsequently has three harrowing, but ultimately triumphant careers: as bestiarius, stupidus (jester) and double agent to Attila's predecessor, and finally as a magician. He is the ultimate survivor.

Many people raise an eyebrow when I tell them my recently released novel is a baby boomer novel. I can almost read their skepticism about the content as they imagine a novel about a get off my lawn kind of person. Goodbye Emily is a boomer novel. It's also funny and irreverent. It follows three baby boomers who relive their trip to Woodstock in 1969. One final roadtrip. One last chance to say Goodbye Emily.

Why did I write a novel that focused on three men age 60? What better group to create a character from. Boomers are talented, funny, shaped with experience, and in my case, influenced by the cold war, Camelot and Vietnam.

There's also a practical reason for writing for and about baby boomers. Boomers are the largest group of book buyers in the country. Will this change with the growth of Kindle and other devices? Hardly. Boomers are the largest group of ereader users.

Next time you consider a baby boomer novel, don't assume it will be about someone adjusting to retirement. Boomer novels are often witty, suspenseful and brilliantly crafted coming of (old) age stories. Just like all genres. So check them out.

I want the reader to have some understanding of my purpose and goals for this I Ching blog. I first became obsessed with I Ching in 1970. This interest coincided with the feminist movement where I was frequently asked, “Why are you interested in that sexist book that talks about the superior man all the time?” I Ching developed as the Chinese language developed over three thousands years ago so that question was not something I could respond to in a sound bite.

While there are many interpretations of I Ching, they are from the perspective of the traditional Eastern masculine view. So partly in response to those early days of that repeated question, and partly because I love to write and make pictures, I decided that I needed to create my own version of what I Ching means to me. I Ching Meditations is expressed in imagery and words.

I Ching Meditations

All the illustrations are full-page color with a total of 120 images plus several more diagrams.

I Ching is a philosophy dating back to origins of Chinese civilization along with Chinese writing and culture

Philosophy right living based on premise everything in universe arises out of 2 forces Yang Yin

If you follow way of nature you will find right way right time for action or non-action in own life. 

I Ching or Book of Changes has one law that remains constant: Only thing that never changes is change itself.

I was born in southwestern Pennsylvania, the second daughter of Rachel Yost and Arthur Curtis McGee. I grew up loving to read and write poetry, as well as short stories. My childhood dream was to become a teacher. My dream of writing was created in the eleventh grade literature class where writing became my passion.

I was married in August 2012 to my husband, Gregory Stephen Buda Jr. and we reside in a small Pennsylvania town of Fairchance. I am a full time mother of one and is expecting my second child.

I graduated from American Intercontinental University with my associates in business administration. I enjoys spending her time writing and I feel that connecting with readers is my main goal.

I published Silenced under my maiden name but I plan to continue writing under my married name with any other work.

“People who do not achieve their dreams, they often give many reasons why. People who achieve their dreams, they are always the reasons why. The Choice is Simple: Give Up or To Become”

There are so many people in the Black Community will give you so many excuses of why they didn’t follow their dreams. They will blame the white man for not following their dreams. They will let obstacles get in their way. They will let so called friends to make their decisions for them. Some will talk about their dreams but they won’t put it into action. Some even will let their past hold them back. As we are in our last week of Black History Month lets just remember that we have a lot to be thankful. Look how far we as the people had come from. We need to stop blaming other people for not following our dreams. Today in 2013 there are so many opportunities especially in the Black Community. We even have a Black President that is serving his second term right now. President Obama didn’t let anyone or any obstacles from preventing him to run as President. We can’t keep on blaming the white man for not going after our dreams. The blame lied on us. It is our own choice that we aren’t pursuing our dreams. There are people that will tried to interrupt those who are following their dreams. When I had decided to write my first book “Walking In God’s Path Toward Your Destination Volume 1″ To Change Your Mindsetthat there were some wasn’t happy about that at all. They had tried to interrupt me in writing my book by saying that being an author is not consider a job. I had told them that being an author is a full time job rather I want it to be or not. Everyday that I market my books to create sales is consider me working. I am receiving income from my books. Some in the black community had the nerve to tell me to apply for welfare and food stamps instead of congratulating me in my accomplishment. I had ignored all of their attempt and kept on writing. Today I have three published books in the market online. People will tried to interrupt you from achieving your dreams because they didn’t have the courage to follow their own dreams. They really don’t have an issues with you but themselves. They are telling their own story that they didn’t take the necessary steps in making their dream become to reality. Lets keep in mind for Black History Month and beyond that if you don’t have the guts to achieve your dreams then you don’t have anyone or anything to blame but yourself. If you take the necessary risks to achieve your dreams then you will have many reasons to be proud of all of your accomplishments. One of the reasons that you should be proud that you know that you are the Child of the King and you are willing to make a choice to take a chance of achieving your dreams. You have a choice that you need to make.The Choice is just simple: Either You Want To Give Up or To Become Successful by Achieving your Dreams. It’s Up To You!

I am an author, public speaker, and blogger. My book, Women of the Way: Embracing the Camino is about my journey on the Camino Francés, a 500-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain. As I walked, I talked with other female pilgrims (hikers). The story is about my adventures and the conversations I had with these incredible women.

I speak on the Camino and on indie authoring.I currently have two one-hour Camino presentations: The Beauty of the Camino and The Camino in 43 days.

My blog provides strategies and support for the indie author. Each week I introduce a new Camino Tip on Pinterest.

Shortly, I will return to Spain to do two Caminos. One is by bicycle, from Barcelona to Santiago; the other is by foot, from Lisbon Portugal to Santiago.

Reviews 

Pick yourself up

reach for the stars

treat your scars

by reaching for the stars.

Look at the clouds in the sky.

Think on other things

like homelessness and hunger.

Think on things that make you wonder.

Put your mind asunder.

Pick yourself up

reach for the stars

treat your scars

by reaching for the stars.

Wipe the tears from your eyes.

Look at the clouds in the sky

and wonder why

there are people who need clean water to drink.

They don't even have a sink.

Their clothes are worn and tattered.

Their family is scattered

searching for a way to make life better.

Pick yourself up

reach for the stars

treat your scars

by reaching for the stars.

Wipe the tears from their eyes

by treating their thirst and hunger.

Look at the clouds in the sky

and wonder why

you don't hear their cry.

My writings are real life experiences that I have sort of turned into short stories in the form of Inspirational and Motivational Quotations. But more importantly I write from my own emotions both past and present.

​ I write from the pain that I have seen that has been inflicted on others as well as the pain some have inflicted on me. I write from memories of people who have touched my life. Some who have stayed and some who decided and chosen to move on in their lives.

​ I write from happiness. The happiness that many have brought me by showing me unconditional love, friendship and those who were there whenever I needed them in times that may have not been the best of times.

​ I write from love. The love I feel from the readers who gain even one ounce of inspiration, motivation and just the joy it may bring them for one second if they need to smile. I write because it energizes and recharges me.

I write because it allows me to be expressive and even if to my own self, it helps me to lift my spirits if ever they seem to be slipping. ​I'RM%2376%20WHY%20I%20WRITE.jpgm not in fear of whether or not anyone will see or feel the writings the way I see and feel them, but if one person smiles, or even one person gains from it, then I also write for you.
