TEEN REVIEW for 'Rebound' By Author Pamela Swyers


TEEN REVIEW FOR 'REBOUND'

'It's a very good book for young readers, like myself.'

It influences readers about what to expect after college like stepping out into the world for your first time. It makes the readers think more about what they should do career-wise. It also gives a point-of-view on relationships.
I would recommend this book to other teenagers.

SNEAK PEEK of my newest book being worked 'THE GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT'





WORKING ON MY NEWEST BOOK
'THE GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT'



Wendy Adams
Inspired for my new book: I was driving down the road when it just came to me. I repeated it over and over in my mind and when I got home I just started writing it. I had no idea if he would even agree to it, a character of a book created in his likeness! At the time all I knew was I felt inspired to write and my new book was born....

'The room was dark and the night was well upon her as she slowly slipped into the deep slumber of her mind'....

Titled 'The Guardian Of The Night'
Sat at 1:32pm



Wendy Adams
'He could see her dreams take hold as she gripped at the sheets. He hung his head as he had done many times before kneeling beside her bed. His wings spread wide and fists clinched as he shared the very pain of the visions that haunted her this night.'

New book I'm writing hope you like the sneak peek 'The Guardian Of The Night'

Sneak Peek at the new storyline I'm writing THE GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT

'Caleb remembered when his assignment came in to guard her. He didn’t understand at first all his other assignments were men of war, even great leaders throughout time those who protected others with their life and caused great change in the world when he saw his assignment was a young girl he thought a mistake had been made.....

Wendy Adams
'this child was assigned to you and with the mark of the GOLDEN SEAL.’ Caleb looked upon the record book shocked, it was true it held the mark of the golden seal. Quickly he headed on his way but it was too late, this night he would find out just why this child was assignment to him.'

I hope you have enjoy this sneak peek of my newest book I'm writing 'THE GAURDIAN OF THE NIGHT' it will be a part of a series FOUR BOOKS to come out. Caleb is what is known as a 'GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT' he's an angel of a special order only 100 of them in all the heavens. The first book will introduce you to Caleb, his friends and his assignment a young girl. The series will follow Caleb to the end of his assignment.

I've decided to get some promo shots of the main character. So I've added an album on my facebook page just for that. Of course I'll have to get some digital wings for him but he's an angel in his own right already. People come and go throughout our lives but this person has been a constant in mine. I only hope that my book can capture his true spirit as well as he has shown it to me. His Determination, Kindness, Inner Strength and Humility should be what we all strive for. As the storyline progesses I'll be sure to keep you all informed.

Poet David Agnew: Belfast via Bedlam - is now available








David Agnew
Leeds, United Kingdom





Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce you to someone very dear, David Agnew. I met David online when my writing blog 'Scribbles Of A Writer' was being posted on myspace. From time to time David and I have had a chance to slowly get to know each other. It's a bond between writers sharing and supporting each other. I am always touched and moved by reading David's Poetry. Sometimes he makes me laugh and sometimes he makes me cry. When I read David's writing it always takes me in so many directions sometimes causing me to reflect on my own life while at other times making me feel very blessed by those in my life. I was so pleased when I saw David's newest update on his latest book that I wanted to share the news with all of you.



Belfast via Bedlam - is now available




"David’s writing is based on his own experience of the journey of recovery, now extending over more than twenty-one years. It is also informed by his long experience of working with the mentally ill, including those suffering from addiction problems. He firmly believes that, in recovery, we all travel a similar road, no matter where we begin.

Following on from his previous books - Walking into Eternity and First I Dreamt the Journey - David, in this book, further explores the paths, pitfalls and signposts on the journey.



These poems, although sometimes deeply personal, in particular those addressed to his mother, are nonetheless universal in their nature and can apply to us all. The poems are grouped under the headings - Reflections, Darker Days, Moving On, Steps of Faith, Memories and My Mother.


Gentler perhaps and more reflective in their nature than in his previous books these poems represent his own journey into a deeper more satisfying place in which his joy at the process of recovery shines through.



You can hear David reading his own words on a CD that comes with every book. Some of the poems have also been loaded to youtube so stop in and check out David's personal youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/davidagnewpoet

What the Day Holds...Promoting and Networking As A Literary Agent






Wendy Adams
Promoter & Literary Agent? OH MY!!!!





As I start my day with a warm cup of tea setting it down on the computer desk and logging into my many accounts from which I network across.... I rub the sleep from my eyes, catch a view of the morning sun on the rise, and think 'TODAY IS A NEW DAY' it's my morning pep thought to ME!!! Each day holds new oppurtunities and there's no other way to start the day than to wake up ready to greet them.


One of the first things I do is check any messages left over night. I've already got a good idea what my plans are for the day to make the day run more smoothly. Yes, sometimes I might wake in the early morning hours thinking I need to be sure I.... and before I close my eyes it's been jotted down as a mental note right in the place I feel it will best suit my schedule.


The next thing I do is settle myself in my chair, take a deep breath and think of a morning opening. This might be a catch phrase to those connected to me on my pages, a quick update of what I might be doing such as 'Scouting publishing companies today leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can'. Whatever the opening is it's the first think I do to start my day off right.


After that I break into my routine of messaging a daily message one I try to get out without fail but if something comes up the message is sent out the night before I log off. The day feels completely new, fresh and welcoming.


Here it is only 1:00 p.m. and so much has already been done today. My morning message was a bit longer than usual as I had a goal in mind. I wanted to reach out to those I connect with and put the next phase of my testing Liz Lynch's book 'Smart Networking' to the test:


Morning everyone, As you can see my connections here on facebook are growing. You'd never guess that I was an Introvert person unless you personally knew me. Smart Networking by Liz Lynch says you can network well with just 150 connections and that's why I have chose ALL OF YOU!!! I'm at 102 connections right now and I...'d like to see that DOUBLE. THAT'S RIGHT I'm asking all my connections to step forward and help me out. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it..." ASKING JUST ONE PERSON YOU KNOW TO REQUEST ME HERE ON FACEBOOK. Have them put in the 'Request Box' who sent them so I can drop by your page and thank you! Smart Networking by Liz Lynch says ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. I am really going to put her book to the test!


From there I accepted some requests waiting and went right to reading groups to promote Authors Darren Humby and Pamela Swyers books, two authors you'll want to keep an eyes on in 2010!


After that I put to use my plan of posting a small quote from one of my earlier blogs for newer authors who have come to my page. I plan on doing this on a regular bases now in hopes that some of the authors find these helpful.


I found myself still scouting out editors and publishing companies that I find helpful to connect with and accepted more requests from those looking to connect with me, I left messages and comments to those I felt I needed to get in touch with. Darren updated me on what's been happening with him and for those who missed it on my pages Darren has a new blog set up on his website which talks about his characters from his books and he own personal views on angels. you can check out his blog at http://www.darrenhumby.com/


After speaking with some more recent authors who have been connecting with me I was delighted to find that Julie Carobini had posted one of the photos I sent to her for her blog theme of things beachy and water landscapes. You can check out her post 'Beachy Pennsylvania' http://juliecarobini.blogspot.com/ I'm so happy she found my photos useful.



With all that going on you can only imagine what pops into my head unexpectly but with warm welcome as the day progresses into a productive day of promoting and networking as a literay agent. I continue into my other pages to post updates and connect with those their, editing and updating my stats to keep everyone informed of what has been released out and what is coming next.


Darren Humby is completing his work on his historical fiction manuscript 'Known Unto God' which I can't wait to write a review up on. Darren is not only an author I'm promoting but a connection I made back in 2009 who has become a dear friend whom by all mean convinced me to take that next step in becoming a literary agent. So, while you read this and think 'Wow she stays busy' things are really starting to pick up and the connections I'm making are working out well. This is really becoming a nice balance between Promoting and being a Literary Agent.




And that's my day so far... You've just had a walk through my morning and I'm breaking for something to eat. I hope you've enjoyed your reading and that you come back and read my next posts.
