    Please help by promoting Rain from Heaven on Facebook, twitter, and by any other means possible.

    Thanks!
    Thanks so much for the link! I read the book and have sent your link to others. One told me he stayed up all night reading it and that it made him cry. It's hard for me to put my reaction into words. I like the endings to the chapters - they made me want to turn the page (so to speak) and read more. The characters seem real to me and I can identify with all of the three major characters. I love the message of mercy and how people can change and develop through time to learn about God's love - or start to forget about it. Like my friend, I cried - especially at the ending (I won't say if it was because of sadness or joy ).

    Great novel, Kay Cee! Can I use both thumbs to give it two thumbs up?

    Just wanted to let you guys know that since I last popped up, I have learned a LOT about the digital publishing world. I have actually got my book, How to Write an eBook in 40 Days (or less) up for free now through April 27th, 2013 in the amazon kindle store. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00APO9P0C

    Please download this, tweet this, share this with friends on Facebook. I don't get paid for these downloads but it does actually help promote my book even after the free days are finished. Every person who downloads that book, Amazon will link my book with all of the other books they've ever purchased so when one of those books comes up it recommends my book in the "This customer also bought..." section,, getting my name and my title in front of more places and spaces.

    Amazon does have a paperback print option available through CreateSpace. (See: http://www.createspace.com). It is relatively easy to upload a book, they have a lot of information on doing it, plus a great community where assistance is available.

    Hello Marc, I think you have had a wonderful idea here, and hope it can be helpful to many. Perhaps some future topics might be:
    1-Finding motivation to keep writing.
    2-What are the best writing schedules?
    3-Who would you trust to review your manuscripts?
    4-Are there are good agents anymore? How to find them?

    I've just finished re-reading Ben Franklyn's autobiography (my best guess is I read it a half-century ago--which is the type of thought that can really subdue a person)--and I was pleasantly surprised to rediscover his comments about the value of his group of writers discussing their works, much like this group and also CSLewis' group of Inklings (i encourage members here to check on our Catholic.com Inklings group). Best regards.

    I often wonder the same thing myself, why people would leave the Church Jesus Christ started which despite the flaws of the people in it, has a continual outpouring of grace.

    Good work on addressing this problem.

    Hello everyone, pax vobiscum!!!

    I have just completed and published my first Catholic comedy novella titled "The Misadventures of Cardinal Fratelli". It will be one of three books about the good cardinal who always ends up in comical situations.

    Here is the plot to the first book of the series

    Set in the 19th century, in picturesque Italy, this comic writing follows the daily life and blunders of one Cardinal Angelo Fratelli. He is devout, young, handsome and experiences many trials partly because of his excitability and because of his snobby Aunt Francine.
    Suddenly, Michele, a dear, childhood friend, comes around and doesn’t get the hint he is unavailable. Fratelli must hatch a plan to get her married off so she leaves him alone- also while proving himself to parishioners and various, other clergy.



    If you would like to see a sample of this work, check out my blog:

    While I was teaching middle school in a public school the counselor and I led a group for several years for 13 and 14 year old girls. We called it Brave New Girls. I took great notes and have about 10 chapters ready to go in a workbook designed for young ladies to learn about their faith and to be strong women in our society. Does anyone think ths merits being published? Just wondering....

    The above link is the link to my book, Theos A Personal Journey. It's pretty much autobiographical in nature and yet it addresses topics which have amazed me in my growing up years. Everythng from the nature of the Eucharist to the real marriage between faith and science is covered. Spiritual warfare as well as the studies of the end times is also covered. Check it out and heck...if you have a kindle, buy it.

    Please allow me to introduce to you my recently published book: 'Soul’s Voice: Poems of Mind's Journey'. It is a collection of 133 Poems with corresponding abstract paintings that reflect the Soul’s eyes and what its ears hear. The provoke thoughts and the corresponding abstract paintings induce meditation on man’s behaviour, his attitude and reactions to his environment. It raises some questions on the purpose of our being here, the consequences of our actions and inaction. In addition, it reflects on what rewards we expect from our activities here on earth. The Poems recognize the authority of God over man and meditate on actions God expects of man while here on earth. The Soul’s Voice raises many other issues and evokes inner feelings that should generate reactions which will lead to decision making and conversion. Soul's Voice is written by Charles Chilaka. The book is available at www.amazon.com and www.kindle.com You will love to read it.

    Thank you Marc for creating this group. I am pleased to have discovered it. I am a catholic Priest and a religious in the Congregation of the Sons of Mary Immaculate. I would like to present my book just publsihed: "100 Ways to feel inspired" to the group. This is my first publication. The goal of this book is to help others to persevere in the task God has set before them. It calls for trusting the Lord by spending time to meditate n our daily life. Here is the video for the book:

    I am editing my first fiction : 'Yellow Evangelists' a novel that captures false religiousity, corruption and compromises of the working class in Nigeria. My dream is to challenge us all to realise that we shall all be remembered for our deeds here on earth. It is a 210 pages. I pray I will find a good publisher.

    Hello, I just joined this group. Also, I have been writing nearly all my life but my new (been Catholic for 4 years) Catholic faith has inspired my imagination to try new things. I just published my first Catholic comedy novella, "The Misadventures of Cardinal Fratelli"

    For a sample of my work, here is a link:

    Hey all,
    Just to let you know that I decreased the price of my book, "Theos, a Personal Journey" on Amazon.com to $5 a copy for a kindle. If you're still interested in learning what it's about, go to Amazon, type the name of the book in the Search engine, and it will take you there. Let me know what you think.

    I have presently two books on the market. The first I wrote to honor the man that raised me under the name of Michael Patrick Collins. It is called "With Me Always" and is a novel about an infant found on the steps of a Catholic Orphanage in a small mainly Irish town of Erin Ohio in 1950. The infant boy is raised in the orphanage, a Sister Dominque and Father Kelly being his surrogate parents. He is accepted at the U. S. Naval Academy and graduates as a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. Returning to the orphanage on leave he meets a young girl who has a cast from her hips down from an auto accident where both parents were killed. There is six years difference in their ages. Taking her for a walk in her wheelchair, she suddenly "has to go to the bathroom". He picks her up and carries her back to the bathroom as any knight in shining armor would do in a teenage girl's eyes. A few years later, she is enrolled in a business shool and he finds her. She is no longer a young girl, but now a beautiful woman that walks with a cane. They are in love and decide to marry. Then comes the mission, the mission that will change both their lives forever.

    My second book is about the migration of the Catholic Jacobite Scots who were exiled to the colonies here after the Battle of Cullodon Moor in 1746 in their attempt to place "Bonnie Prince Charlie" back on the throne. It is written under my name M. P. Hudson and is called "Returning to Harmony". It is quite vicious, brutal and frank at times as during my research I found an incident of a young homeless girl and her treatment by her stepfather while riding the roads of the mountains of North Carolina. It carries on to her redemption and the kind treatment of those still "clannish" folks living in our mountains today. Her name in Ern, the Celtic form of the Gaelic Erin. This book is best suited for adults.

    Both can be found on Amazon and the second on Amazon Kindle.

    I am finishing a book about the Irish migration to those same mountains. As a historian by avocation, I spent living two years in those mountains researching both of these books. I have storyboarded and will begin a book about a Marine Lieutenant called to the Priesthood as he visits Saint Peters Church in Rome. His first assignment is a small Catholic Church in mid Florida, to replace a priest literally thrown out of town by the townspeople for unappropriate sexual activities with a little boy. He must win back the congregation's respect and support. The question is will he, and how can he do it.

    By the way, for those who do not know Gaelic, Sinnseanair means Great Grandfather, of which I am proud to say I am. Michael Patrick Hudson (USMC Ret)

    Feeling pretty spiritual today....here is my Shakespearean style..lol..short story.Just wanted to share

    THE CELLAR.
    Thy heart was once a darkened cellar with walls of hopelessness and dismay. A heart never wanting to trust;never wanting to love again.
    Thy hearts key was forgotten and forever layeth to rest within a darkened soul.
    Thy Lord saw the tattered door and the key hole that layeth covered in darkness and despair.
    With sooth and compassion, thy most precious savior touched thy hearts cellar door With no refrain, gently it opened unto thee.Gently among the corridors within thy Lord gently walked.Within thy Lord's precious name,anguish,despair and heartache hath subsided.Peace,hope,love and tranquility fill corridors where hatred and spite once resided.
    My Lord,it is thee who let's your light within thy soul's lair. My precious savior it is thee who holds the true key to thy heart.....KELLY O'MARA


    A wonderful New Year is coming our way.God bless all!!!
