August Updates 2022

Hello August

 Do you ever wonder how the summer flew by so quickly? I don't know about you, but it has been brutally hot here in Texas, and other states. It is essential to stay hydrated, so I wanted to share with you this site: Every Day Health, which has simple ways to stay hydrated. 

Eco Artist Grant Manier

II had the privilege to attend the unveiling of Grant Manier's latest project, the design of the new 'Goya Can' for marketing. Grant's inspiration for the can is nothing short but inspired by the heavens. To hear how he came up with the design is an incredible story. You can check out all of Grant's children's books and his artwork at Jigsaw Grant.

The Ocean is Inspirational!

As you can tell, I love the ocean so much that I could not help but run out and feel the waves coming to shore. There are many oceans in the world, and I love them all but Galveston, Texas, holds a unique candle in my heart as it is where my parents took us for summer fun. I have some of the best childhood memories with my brothers and watching my parents laugh and enjoy the waves. My dad loved to walk what seemed far away as a kid, and then he would float on his back and ride the waves in, while my mom would jump into the waves. When I return to Galveston, my imagination is reenergized with the ocean's sounds and the birds flying. I hope you have a special place to go for wonderful childhood memories to share with your family too. If ever you want to share a story, I would love to hear all about it. Till next time go out and embrace a wave!

A Time to Fly!

t is finally here! I am thrilled to hold this book in my hands! To be honest with each new book it is an overwhelming feeling to see it for the first time.  It truly is an inspirational story to believe in yourself and know you can do it. It might take a few falls before you soar but you will. The story is based on the bluebirds that hatched in our backyard and my family and I had the opportunity to watch them gain the courage to fly with their parents help.  I was so touched by the love of the bluebirds; parents that I just had to tell their story. Let me know how the story inspires your family and the conversations that take place while reading the story. You can find it on Amazon,. Barnes and Noble and other local bookstores.

July Updates 2022

July Updates 2022

Two sides of a celebration

In my newsletter, I briefly stated the importance of the 4th of July.

Yes, independence day but also my mom's birthday. Mom loved having her birthday on the 4th because of all the fireworks and parades. One of my brothers would decorate his golf cart, and mom and other family members would join her, and I was the camera lady. The fourth is not the same, but I am glad she is experiencing the greatest love with our Lord.

Road Trip

Summertime is here and this Texas girl with her husband and Remi, our dog, took off to visit family members and friends. Remi had her first long road trip. We covered Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, DC, and of course, Texas. Remi loved it. Remember to buckle up your pets.

Family

I mentioned one of my hobbies is genealogy. I enjoy being a member of Ancestry.com and have been a member from the beginning. I did the DNA and have connected with cousins I did not know I had, and we have privately shared pictures. One cousin I was able to meet on this road trip. When we met in person for the first time at a restaurant, we had to laugh because we both were wearing a red shirts with white stripes. We had a great time, and you would have thought we knew each other our whole life; we hated to part as we had so much to share. I encourage everyone to check out their family history. There is nothing like family!

My New Book!

I am super excited for you to see the cover. The Illustrator Nancy Hoover did an incredible job with the story. You are going to love her work. Also, mark your calendar for August 2nd for the book launch. Join us on the Texas Sister Press Facebook page. There will be prizes and guest author. You could win a book. You can preorder now on Amazon so that I can have a huge launch on the 2nd.

 

It's 'A Time to Fly'!

January 2023!

January 2023!

Happy New Year!

I wanted to reflect on this year and thank you for your support.

As my mom always said, "life is made of chapters," Now I have to laugh because I am writing books with chapters. 

As many of you know, it took a while to be a published author, but I soon discovered the most challenging part was to come-- what I refer to as "The Beast," marketing. So first, thank you for all your support in reading my newsletters, purchasing my books, and even writing me back. Your support is an inspiration to me.

Reflecting on this year - What a year it has been!

Books published - A Time to Fly, Charlie and the Tire Swing, and A Song of Peace!

Award from the Story Monster Magazine:   A Song of Peace is "Story Monster"-  approved book!

I also had the pleasure of being cohost with Dr. Jacalyn, founder, and owner of USA Global TV and Radio ™®. The shows Fashion Travel and Fitness, The Corner Bookstore, and the UK News and Culture. The people we have interviewed from around the world are fascinating, and I have m to know many of them. 

I have enjoyed joining the Women in Publishing Group and Aimee Ravichandran, owner of abundantlysocial.com /Author Talk. 

This year brought me my publicist Mickey Mikelson owner of Creative Edge. Mickey has helped me with "The Beast!". I am grateful for all he has done to get my name out there. 

I am grateful to my illustrators, Nancy Hoover and Judy Gaudet, who have brought my books to life with artistic talents.

I am also grateful to Aimee Warren, owner, and founder of Creative Pockets, who runs my website.  

As we begin 2023, I look forward to all the new chapters life will bring. I also want to encourage you to go after your dreams. It might take a while, but goals are worth turning into a reality. 

On a personal note, I am grateful for my family's love and support.
May this year bless your family, and may your dreams come true! 

Warm Regards,

Diann Floyd Boehm
