thank you Rachael and Kath, you are both so sup...Hi<br />thank you Rachael and Kath, you are both so supportive.<br />Connie, I do indeed know Kathleen's non fiction, I have some of her books on my shelf but I didnt know she wrote fiction too. the title Peaceweaver comes from the anglo saxon word Freuduwebbe - Weaver of Peace, applied to women who were married to secure a peace treaty between opposing sides. There were more than you'd like to think!<br />As my agent is peddling Peaceweaver to various publishers at the moment, it is no longer available on Amazon, unless via the marketplace but i have a few copies left if you would like one direct from me. you can contact me on silentwhisper1@aol.com.<br />I will take a look at the blogs you recommend and thank you for your help.Judith Arnopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734149908148034800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547779935064982600.post-29104673329508284332010-10-11T12:56:13.026-07:002010-10-11T12:56:13.026-07:00A thought provoking post and one I can relate to. ...A thought provoking post and one I can relate to. I loved Peaceweaver and have enjoyed hearing your recent work at our group meetings. Your confidence is gaining. When you speak of your work and tell us about the characters we all hang on your every word, so don't worry about promoting you and your work - just be you!Rachael Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848406521940836271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547779935064982600.post-59861635949334792010-10-11T12:44:25.543-07:002010-10-11T12:44:25.543-07:00Hello Judith! I came across your book, Peaceweaver...Hello Judith! I came across your book, Peaceweaver, while looking for an agent for Kathleen Herbert's fourth novel, Moon in Leo. The title caught my eye as it is similar to one of Kathleen's non fiction booklets: Peace-Weavers and Shield-Maidens. Do you know her work? I feel certain you would enjoy it! As for me, I shall be buying a copy of Peaceweaver as part of my next Amazon order, and look forward to reading it. <br />For more information about Kathleen, and why I am working on her behalf, see my blog: Get it Written at http://conswords.blogspot.com/<br />I received a lot of encouragement and support from Reading the Past- http://www.readingthepast.blogspot.com/<br />If you don't know this blog, I think you could benefit from contacting Sarah Johnson. I now feel encouraged to contact your agent, Susan Yearwood. Wish us luck!<br />Good luck with all your writing- I shall continue to follow your progress<br />ConnieConnie Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17286314896270215904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547779935064982600.post-31095395274079130562010-10-11T03:19:04.002-07:002010-10-11T03:19:04.002-07:00Great insight into how, when and where you write. ...Great insight into how, when and where you write. <br /><br />I understand where you're coming from on finding events daunting. I feel exactly the same way! But you have to remember that you'll be talking about your book(s), and writing, both things you love, so it's not as if you'll have to make small talk about something which doesn't interest you. Plus, you'll be talking to people who are interested in you and your book, otherwise they wouldn't be there in the first place <br /><br />And, hopefully, once you've spoken to people at book signings and smaller events, you'll gain in confidence and the bigger audiences won't be quite so daunting. Besides, a rush of adrenalin is a wonderful free drug!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719765628886270649noreply@blogger.com
