Bee Balms & Burgundy

If you enjoy strong-but-feminine women, sexy love stories, hot romance stories, romantic fiction, romance novels, sensual fiction, women's fiction, sentimental fiction, great novellas, award-winning fiction, Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts, or Richard Paul Evans, you can read chapter five of Nelson's Bronte Prize-winning novella, Bee Balms & Burgundy, right now for free at nelsonpahl.com. (See for yourself why it beat out Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts, and Richard Paul Evans, among others, for the title of "North America's Best Love Story of the Year.")

Bee Balms & Burgundy (Debut Novella)..... First Book

In this rousing story, Nick May is a successful Gen X entrepreneur now
living in Vancouver. At 32, he's lost patience with live-in girlfriend
Sonja, as well as business partner Jason. Upon a late summer visit to
his hometown of St. Paul, he reacquaints with childhood neighbor and
lifelong friend Mia. Unbeknownst to Nick, Mia is now a post-mastectomy
breast cancer survivor, with her cancer currently in remission. She also
harbors another powerful secret—one that will change Nick forever.

To every woman who has fought
the battle, and the subsequent
self-doubt and fear,
win or lose...

I offer my respect

Peace & Love

Nelson




Two for Tuesday ...... Second Book in Progress

Emmanuelle Foshey—“Manny” to friends and lover—is a 29-year-old former
Chicago jazz dancer and current Minneapolis ad exec. Seven months ago,
in a strange event, she met publisher and philanthropist Cameron Stiles.
Today, after mending their past heartbreaks, Manny and Cam nurture an
epic, immaculate romance.

Cam lives in the small town of Cannon Valley, 40 minutes south of his
St. Paul offices; he lives in a cute raspberry sorbet Victorian, at
which Manny spends most of my time. Cam’s seventeen-year-old neighbor,
Corey, is a California transplant; he’s also a domineering, single
mother’s only son and a social outcast. Every day, Corey finds it
increasingly difficult to cope in his new surroundings. Cam and Manny
lend a wing; day or night, there’s almost nothing they won’t do for the
kid; they adore him.

Then, tragedy strikes…

And nothing remains the same.

A Book Review by Martha Jette for Bee Balms & Burgundy

The Author's Note at the beginning of this novella left me wondering. "To every woman who has fought the battle, and the subsequent self-doubt and fear, win or lose.... I offer my respect." Nelson I thought perhaps that Nelson Pahl referred to the timeless battle women face when it comes to love - from finding the right partner, to attempting to build a relationship with a man that would last a lifetime. Boy, was I wrong! As the story of 30-something Vancouver bachelor and entrepreneur Nick… Continue

My Impressions - Barbara Walters Show & Academy Awards - Morgan Mandel

I've got a sore throat, which means a cold or the dreaded flu, but I got bored with sleeping.

To break the monotony, I watched Barbara Walters interview:

Miley Cyrus - or Destiny Hope Cyrus, which was the first name her parents gave her. She's 15 years old and already owns an entire wing in her parents' home. What a life!
Very engaging young girl who seems to have her head on straight despite all of her notoriety.

I also watched Barbara Walters interview Ellen Page, a very pretty 21 year old, very sensible, but she just had to close the interview singing a song which I can't get out of my head - nice little ditty.

Vanessa Williams - who spoke about the controversy over her nude photos and admitted they weren't worth it in the long run. Very lovely woman who admitted she, like many other movie stars, uses Botox.

Harrison Ford - who says his new Indiana Jones movie, set for release in May, will not hide the passage of time. Harrison himself is now 65, but doesn't look it.

I love the glamor of the Academy Awards. I particularly enjoy watching what the stars wear and how their hair is done. Sometimes they look completely different in person than on the sample movie clips shown.

Many of the women are wearing strapless gowns - which always make me a bit nervous - how do they keep them up without spilling out of them?

Anyway, I haven't seen any of the movies, but will eventually do so on DVD.

I just watched Tilda Swinton win supporting actress. She looked totally surprised. It was refreshing to see that much spontaneity.

Anyway, I'm signing off now so I can enjoy the rest of the Awards - Also to Dream that some day my romantic comedy, GIRL OF MY DREAMS by Morgan Mandel can be made into a movie - Well, I did say it was a dream, didn't I?

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.
