Writing for Christians, not liberals

Hope all is well. I am OK. Frustrated that our mom's memorial has been postponed twice and still no definite date. My sister Carol donated our mom's body to science so she got free cremation etc. Carol just got the death certificate this past Sat. and we won't get Mom's ashes until June. A big backup in bodies. Creepy. I was in 4 critique groups and dropped one last Friday as those liberals drove me crazy. Always talking about hateful Christians and lying Republicans etc. They were upset at prayer in county and city meetings. "Don't they know there is separation of church & state in the Constitution." I asked the teacher to show it to me and she said, "I know it's there." She is a Berkley grad and typical socialist and hatemonger. She said she watched Glenn Beck "all the time" and he's been off the air since August. It is incredible how liberals claim our minds are closed and theirs really are. I have been writing and rewriting what I have done in the past as each group had suggestions. The liberals know how to please liberals.

Nancy I. Sanders Interviewed Jan

Meet Author Jan Parys! E-mail: janparys@yahoo.com Website: Forthcoming. Blog: janparys.blogspot.com Bio: Jan Parys is a freelance writer whose articles have appeared in the local Pines Perspective since 2005. She also was published in Children’s Book Insider in the April issue telling about Clubhouse editor, Jesse Florea and July issue of Children’s Writer. A former teacher, she saw and still sees a need for interesting and wholesome children’s stories. She lives in New Bern, North Carolina, with her husband and cat, Princess Precious. Princess thinks she is a queen, but she is just a princess; Jan is the queen in her home. Interview: Q: What inspires you most as a writer? A: To share the truth about life, creation and the Lord. Since I taught in the public schools and shared the “facts” in the books I was given, I was also brainwashed and want to tell the truth now. For example, I was a real environmentalist and thought the earth was in danger and scared my students, too, teaching them what I was taught. Back then I had to read Rachel Carson’s book, Silent Spring, and believed Greenpeace and such. Since being saved in 1980, I know more of the truth, like the Creator and His mercy for me and our planet. While I was teaching at Sherman Indian High School in Riverside, CA, in 1980, an Indian aide led me to the Lord. 
 Q: What books influenced you most of all when you were growing up? A: Hittie’s One Hundred Years, the encyclopedia (I loved the facts, really) and we didn’t own much more. Q: Describe one highlight of your writing journey. A: Meeting some lovely Christians who are so helpful. Q: Share one tip you would like to give to someone who is a brand new writer. A: Keep learning. Go to conferences and fellowship with anyone willing to do so. (When two or more are gathered in His name, is so true. Pray immediately on the spot when someone asks you to do so.)

e-book

My e-book entitled Lightning, A Horse has been out a couple of weeeks and some friends have told me that they have purchased and enjoyed it. Amazon is selling it for $3.99, but Barnes & Noble are offering it for $3.19. The cover with a Palomino rearing on it is so awesome with its beauty and splendor. The true events about the near death experiences are so thrilling to me decades afterwards. The unfortunate aspect of the truth is that the story shows Tina being saved as a teenager, but I was not saved until I was a mother of a 7 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. I do wish I had been saved sooner, but the Lord had a reason for saving me when He did. I can actually see how nonbeleivers think. For the most part they are misinformed. Most of the secular schools preach evolution and believe it. In fact most college students are taught evolution repeatedly to the point that we don't question it but consider it real "science." Teenagers have many challenges including sibling rivalry and this is included in the story. Tina is the protagonist and she has rivalry with her neighbors as well since she is poor and they are not. Money can't bring happiness as Tina's neighbor Kathy proves, but it did bring Kathy a golden gelding. Her love of Lightning was short-lived, but her loss became Tina's gain. When Kathy wanted freedom of her responsibilities, she gave Tina responsibilities & use of Lightning. Tina had adventures and enjoyed a fascinating life with Lightning.

My e-book will available for in 2-4 days

Nearly everyone loves animals and most girls love horses. My story, Lightning, A Horse, is about my adventures with a horse when I was a teen. The plot is basically true, but the names have changed for protection of the owner who was very harsh and made the gelding angry. Lightning was so angry that he tried to kill me. He was a gorgeous, golden gelding with whom I had many adventures. At least two of the adventures are relived in the book. The biggest event of my life did not occur until my daughter was 7 and my son was 3 in 1980. I included my Born-Again experience in the book. The purpose for this was to share how to be saved and encouraging others to accept Jesus. Many adventures with a golden gelding can excite the reluctant reader to ride along with the horse and rider. Most children love animals and want to learn how to handle the beautiful creation. Facts as well as fiction will entertain and enlighten young readers. Ages 10 and up. My e-book was begun delivery for me on Wed., Dec. 7, and it is officially underway. It will take about 2-4 days to show up at iBooks and Amazon, 1-2 weeks at Barnes & Noble, and about 2-4 weeks at Sony. It can be downloaded on any computer from Amazon. It only costs $2.99. The story is entitled Lightning, A Horse. The cover is featuring a rearing Palomino horse with the title and then my name at the bottom in little letters, no capitals. It is only 96 pages of text. The process started November 19 and the changes took about a week each time. I asked for the subtitle to be deleted and then for the horse's mane to be more emphasized and each time it took a week or more. I had a couple of more changes to ask for but wanted the book out before Christmas and it would not have a chance with another change. The price is low to encourage many to read it, but I will not make any money. The purpose of the book to share Jesus and not to make money.
