- About Me:
- I am a registered nurse that has a passion for writing, especially children's books. My new business adventure is becoming a published author and I have been told that the book will be ready by the first of October, 2008. I am thrilled.
In my first experience of writing, I have run into more walls and have developed that flattened nose appearance, but I manage to pick myself up and start walking again. I am DETERMINED that I am going to succeed on this project of mine.
I know this book isn't a novel, or a mystery created with exciting suspence and adventure. It's a child's picture storybook. You know how impressionable children can be? Their minds are like little sponges just soaking up everything they see and hear. We as parents or like me a grandparent, have a responsibility to our young ones to help form that little mind and encourage that child to become the best person they can become and we need to continually praise them for the good they have done. I have even learned that in my present position as a nurse administrator, that if you focus on the good things that your employee's do and praise them for their good work, you will find them going that extra mile to do even better the next time.
Now to my book. The name of the book is "Lady Flatterley." This story tells you about a unique little caterpillar that hid up in the tall oak tree always too afriad to come out lest the wind be too strong (referring to hardships in life) and would blow her away. That is why she would hide amongst the leaves all day long.
In her heart she always wanted to be a butterfly and fly high in the sky. Don't you feel that each of us has a butterly in ourselves that is just waiting to burst out? But in order for that to happen, it is going to take work on our parts just like it did for Lady Flatterley.
She found out when she had spoken to another butterfly that he too was once like her, but he built a cocoon and then became a butterfly. Lady Flatterley was so enthralled and said, "Please tell me this will happen, possibly today?"
Lady Flatterley did what it took to make that dream of hers come true and she did build that cocoon. We all CAN LIVE in that wishful state, or STAY SAFE AND WARM in our present situation OR we can BREAK OUT and find out how truly beautiful we all really are.
Although this was in God's plan for Lady Flatterley to become a butterfly, she still had to do some work on her part, and that was to build a cocoon.
Although this may be a child's storybook, there is a message for us as adults.
Each one of us has a beautiful butterfly in us just waiting to come out. Lets follow our dreams and allow them to come true.

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

Thanks for the vote for the cover. No-one has had chance to read the book yet, as it won't be released until Septmeber, but the blurb tells you something of it's content.
Best regards and thanks again. I am indeed your internet junky friend!
