This is a nifty little MicroBook stuffed with doodles of questionable quality and also observations, advice, tips, rants, and questions for people who have ADHD (& other brain bees) and also want to write a book.Or who want to create anything at all, in fact.There is no aggressively unhelpful writing advice that makes us feel like a trash panda, such as you may find rattling around on the internet.There are lots of footnotes.I hope you enjoy reading it.-VQF

Waverly and Oliver are two orphaned flies growing up, and hoping to stay unnoticed, in a garden ruled by a cruel spider named Ramsay. But when they risk everything to help a mysterious fly named Ben, they get bitten by spiders with a slow-acting and deadly venom. Ben sets out to save his friends by taking them on the long, dangerous journey across the garden to see Ramsay who is the only one who can reverse the effects of the poison. The spider king, however, has no intention of helping anybody but himself. What happens when Ben finally comes face to face with Ramsay makes his quite a strange tale indeed.

I wrote my first book when I was in middle school-when I was maybe nine or ten years old. It was a mini-masterpiece, that book, in my memory. It had chapters. Pictures. A story. It even had covers and a binding, of sorts.I discovered, before I ever heard of the wonderful Sir Terry Pratchett, that writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.I have no idea what happened to that book, but I do know this: it kicked off a lifelong love affair with writing. So obviously I didn't write another book for more than twenty-five years.I spent a lot of time thinking about writing a book, and talking about writing a book, and not writing a book...Until, one day, I stood in front of a roomful of other business owners and boldly declared, "I will write a book all about my business and how I can help my customers. And not only that, I will write it in ninety days! Hiiiiiiii-ya!"(Imagine me performing an overenthusiastic karate chop, and beaming like an elephant with a hosepipe.)Funny thing about saying stuff in front of people you respect and admire-you kind of have to deliver on it or risk looking a total twit. So, three months later, I turned up clutching my shiny new book in my sweaty little hands-which is when the real work began.Because, my fine feathered friend, we're not in the business of writing books for the sake of it.I don't teach business owners to write books only to help you get your name in print (although it is pretty gorram amazing when your books arrive).And I'm not doing it only to help you "get published", either. Nope; I help business owners write books because I know if you write your book, and use it to its fullest potential, it could change your world.Words change worlds. Books change lives.I want to help change your life for the better when you write your book, and I want to help you change your clients' lives for the better, too.Great deeds begin with one word and one step. And great books start with one word and one sentence.Changing the world doesn't always mean the act of stopping a war (or starting one). It doesn't mean solving world poverty right now. It doesn't mean changing an unjust law overnight. All those things do transform the world, for sure-but they start with one tiny beetle step. Maybe with a book something like the one hibernating inside your head.Maybe by changing one person's life in a small way, you can set off a chain of events that'll change the world in a bigger way. What do you think? Worth a try?I reckon so.Start here. Start today. I've got your back, grasshopper.

Not fallen. Not broken. Not whole. It is 1880, Nebraska. All Angel wants is to go someplace where no one knows her name or-more importantly-what happened to her. However, Angel's plans are disrupted when she becomes stranded in an unfamiliar town. With no means to leave and no place to stay, Angel finds aid in an unexpected place: Nathan, a childhood acquaintance with scars of his own. All Nathan wants is to leave every memory of his father far, far behind. But when Nathan's path leads him to Angel, he begins to realize that his father's influence has reached further than he could ever have imagined. As Nathan and Angel face the prejudices of the townspeople together, their tenuous friendship begins to grow into something more. However, when Nathan's father returns, Angel and Nathan must decide whether they are willing fight for the life they've created for themselves, or whether they will once again leave everything they love-including each other-behind. Small Great Joys is the first book in the Resilient Hearts historical romance series. This novel was previously published as Angel.
