Hello to all who are reading this! Things are finally settling down here behind the scenes at the Vineyard. The past three months have been a whirlwind of life and all that it has to hold. Can I tell you I am glad to finally have a small break from crazy? I will definitely be on her more which I am excited about. 
          	
          	Well, besides giving you a life update I am on here to give you some sad and exciting news. 
          	
          	Let's get the sad news out of the way first shall we? I have had to push the publish date of The Echo of the Finch back about seven months. The reason for this? A variety of things: I didn't do proper research at the beginning and I had a variety of historic holes in my story (I wouldn't want that), the story is off by something and I still trying to figure that out. I am so sorry about this, but I want to give the best to my readers. 
          	
          	Now I can cheer you up with my good news!!! I will be writing another short story about a side character in the Echo for y'all. I am really excited about this, stay tuned for that! I don't have a clue to the release date but that will be coming out soon enough! Have a blessed day!! I will be on here Wednesday if y'all need me. I am always available to talk.  
          	
          	God bless! See you later alligator! ;)

 #HistoryMonday 
          
          It is July and the day of Independence is swiftly approaching in America, I thought it appropriate to talk about the American Revolution.  
          
          July 4th, our day of independence, is a day to celebrate the freedom we indulge in from our ancestors sweat, blood and tears. For they fought for almost ten years (1775-1783) for the freedom that Americans hold dear. "The shot heard around the world" was fired in April 1775 which started the seemingly neverending war for the freedom of the colony's from the tyranny of Britain.
          
          The colony's had suffered unfair treatment under the hands of Britain without a say in Parliament. The colony's were now growing every day weren't solely dependent upon its mother country. It was like a restless teenager being treated like an incompetent child by the hands of its mother country. 
          
          They needed their freedom, their will to be heard. They fought for nearly ten years showing the world they would become free, independent indeed. In the beginning, things didn't go so well for the Americans with almost freezing in winter at Valley Forge, but a surprising win giving the Americans hope with their French Allies. 
          
          And in 1776 they signed The Declaration of Independence finalizing the detachment from England, but the Red Coats were stubbornly refusing to give up the colonies. Gallantly, men such as General George Washington and General Marie-Joseph Paul Lafayette leading the way. For these men knew the taste of tyranny and were not willing to stand aside. I would not live the life I do without the courage those men had. 
          
          Liberty is a thing so many don't appreciate until they do not have it. Liberty causes men to do funny things, God made us be free and think independently. We were not made to be treated as anything less than God's creation, wonderfully and beautifully made. Freedom is worth gold and sometimes it good to reminded of that.

Hello everyone!! I just wanted to give you guys a update on what’s been going on behind the scenes here at the Vineyard. Last I announced I had reached the halfway point of The Echo of the Finch, but I have reached a very serious roadblock that I hope won’t set the publication back any, but it very well might. Well, let me explain and I’ll leave that up to your own opinion. 
          
          Normally, like any good Historical Fiction you have to figure out what time period you will be in. Well, I thought I had until... I reached a very serious point where I realized it wouldn’t be realistic for the Burns to own a restaurant at that time because the real boom for Martha’s Vineyard didn’t happen until a hundred years after my story takes place. We might need a time change and A LOT of editing! I’m going to take the next few weeks to really dive deep into research. I will keep y’all posted on my endeavors.

If anyone noticed I didn't post #HistoryMonday yesterday and the reason for that is I was on vacation the week when I was supposed to write and I completely forgot until it was too late! I am so sorry! I WILL have one next month. May was defiantly a crazy month for me, but hopefully, June will be better! God bless!

You are never alone. In the darkest room, on the darkest night curled up in a ball you are not alone. The time ticks by, you clutch the blanket. Fear rumbles in your stomach. 
          Time plays tricks on your head. The awful thoughts are comfortable in the soft mattress of your mind due to that ticking clock hanging on the wall. Time, it passes us by and we grow weary by the day. 
          Lord my heart cries as I see another brother fall to his knees in exhaustion. Time when will you ever not feel so heavy like a burden? 
          The sun will rise on the darkest night it will rise. You are not alone. Jesus, the Lord, wipes away time with a snap of his hand. A rising of the sun on a special day, time lost.
