Book excerpt: 'Ingrid's irreverent humour transforms rejection, fear and abandonment into rekindled love in her deeply healing memoir. A spiritual, emotional and entertaining tale of discovery.' Eva Mazza author of Sex, Lies & Stellenbosch 'You do know you're a nymphomaniac don't you?' My husband got up abruptly, picked up his pillow and moved from the bed to the couch. I felt totally crushed. A deep pain that started in the region of my heart finally engulfed my very being as I felt a million tears of rejection well up inside me. Instead of letting them run free in order to purge myself of their unwanted presence, accumulated over a lifetime of feeling starved of affection, I turned my face to the wall. And only let the few I couldn't control to dampen my unseen cheeks. Alone. Together. Loved. Forever. is a memoir with a difference. Yes, it is the life story of Ingrid Lomas, thus far, but it also happens to read more like a novel. By inviting the reader into her world on a warmly personal level she makes you feel that you are not simply an onlooker but part of her life's journey through every facet of every lesson she learns. Mostly the hard way. It's a book that has it's beginning in her mother's womb prior to her birth where she is subjected to an intimate peak into the life she will be living with her mother post birth. It proves to be an unnerving experience for her and one that makes her attempt something she lives to regret for many years following her arrival on Planet Earth. Although every word of this compelling read comes from a place of deep sadness, abandonment and rejection, they are largely delivered with a huge dollop of humour as Ingrid introduces you to all the influential players who once populated her world. Those she drew into her life to teach her how to overcome the obstacles put in the way of all eternal spirits revisiting Planet Earth for the purpose of spiritual growth. As well as to achieve the eternal happiness that we all desire to experience, not only in the hereafter but during our time on Planet Earth too. While her uneasy relationship with her mother takes centre stage there are others of equal importance. They include those with her grandmother, her father, her ex-husband and ones she forms with a variety of unsuitable men in her search for love and fulfilment during this adventure of a lifetime. All of them being integral in fact to her development and awareness as she strives, initially unbeknown to herself, to achieve her quest for the eternally beautiful life of the eternally beautiful. Alone. Together. Loved. Forever. is in essence a love story that is only able to truly unfold following Ingrid's 'Awakening'. But one that, by virtue of its exquisite and inclusive nature, is a never-ending story that promises to embrace the lives of everyone who chooses to open themselves up to true love. Now and forever more.

Download or read book Lyrics and Limericks written by John Davies and published by Pneuma Springs Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ‘Land of Song and Literature’ that is Wales, what could be more natural than writing music and poetry? So this book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology. Each lyric and set of limericks is preceded by prose, related (sometimes tenuously) to the reason for writing the verse. The lyrics were not written as poems, they are verses divorced from their musical settings. Are song lyrics poetry? This is a theme which runs through the book. Nine authors and songwriters were asked this question. The list of those who contributed is like a ‘Who’s Who’ of Welsh music and poetry. Dannie Abse, Steve Balsamo, Peter Finch, Ron Griffiths, Paul Henry, Gwyneth Lewis, Robert Minhinnick, Mal Pope and solitary Scot Al Stewart. Their answers to this and other questions make fascinating reading. There is also a previously unpublished short poem from Robert Minhinnick and a two line verse from Paul Henry. What was their conclusion? Are song lyrics the same as poetry? For the answers be sure to read the entertaining ‘Lyrics and Limericks’. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

Download or read book Forever Erma written by Erma Bombeck and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller: This anthology of Erma Bombeck’s most memorable and humorous essays is a tribute to one of America’s sharpest wits. When she began writing her regular newspaper column in 1965, Erma Bombeck’s goal was to make housewives laugh. Thirty years later, she had published more than four thousand columns, and earned countless laughs—from housewives, presidents, and everyone in between. With grace, good humor, and razor-sharp prose, she gently skewered every aspect of the American family. This collection holds the best of her columns—not just her famous quips, but also the heartbreaking observations that gave her writing such weight. In 1969, Erma wrote: “screaming kids, unpaid bills, green leftovers, husbands behind newspapers, basketballs in the bathroom. They’re real . . . they’re warm . . . they’re the only bit of normalcy left in this cockeyed world, and I’m going to cling to it like life itself.” With what Publishers Weekly calls her “infectious sense of human absurdity,” Erma Bombeck’s writing remains a timeless examination of the still-cockeyed world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Download or read book Love Always and Forever written by Alexis Morgan and published by Loveswept. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Joe’s Boys are back! Bestselling author Alexis Morgan delivers a tender and inspiring novel about Mikhail, a battle-scarred firefighter, and the sensitive young woman who slips inside the walls around his heart. As a child, Mikhail Wanjek couldn’t save his drug-addled mother; as a young man, he left a promising military career because he couldn’t defend the innocent victims of war. When Mikhail’s feeling like a failure, not even the love of his adoptive parents and loyal brothers can console him. But after he volunteers to help his beautiful brunette neighbor install a fence around her yard, Mikhail begins to heal. He wants to shield her pure, unabashed lust for life from the darkness—including his own. Successful heart surgery has allowed Amy Short to finally set out on her own, apart from her loving but overprotective family. Now she’s experiencing new thrills with the chiseled fireman next door, from riding on the back of Mikhail’s Harley to late nights full of passion. Still, he refuses to open up emotionally, and with Amy’s history, she’s not willing to wait around for Mikhail to change. What she needs to do is show him that together they can build something that will last forever. Look for all of Alexis Morgan’s heartfelt Sergeant Joe’s Boys romances: ALWAYS FOR YOU: JACK | ALWAYS BE TRUE: TINO | LOVE, ALWAYS AND FOREVER Praise for Love, Always and Forever “This is a real romance reader’s romance with a lovely slow burn at its heart.”—Publishers Weekly “Love, Always and Forever is an engrossing tale of love and healing that will keep you up late into the night. Alexis Morgan doesn’t just write fabulous stories. She writes keepers.”—Gerri Russell, bestselling author of Flirting with Felicity “Alexis Morgan has a talent for creating characters with depth and heart, who compel the reader to care about them and follow them on their journey to love. That’s certainly the case with Amy and Mikhail, two scarred, caring people who are struggling to move forward and find the happiness and love they deserve.”—Award-winning author Susan Fox “Readers are going to dream about having Mikhail Wanjek for a neighbor. I know I did!”—Wendy S. Marcus, award-winning author of All I Need Is You “This is a great story. The chemistry and dialogue between the characters, including a lot of the secondary characters we’ve met in previous books, are fabulous. Hands down this is the best book in the series so far.”—The Good, The Bad and The Unread “A very cute story.”—Romancing Myself “I can’t say enough about this great series. Read it!”—Romancing the Readers “Morgan is a talented writer who, with a slight turn of the phrase, is capable of showing the intensity of love involved in various relationships.”—Romance.io “I absolutely loved Tino’s story! . . . Each book of the Sergeant Joe’s Boys series is about a different brother and can be read as a stand-alone. Although, I do recommend reading them in order. As to not give anything away. The writing is great and the story flowed well.”—Once Upon An Alpha Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
