Tripbase: My 7 Links Project

Marmite (Vegemite) has an aquired taste. You either like it or you don't. I happen to like it in the winter months on toast. That aside, blogs are like Marmite we find some we love, some we merely enjoy or some we can do without. Blog posts are the same. However, sometimes blog posts can get missed and we wonder why. Some of mine are seeing the light of day today because of a Links Project.

Loree at Stories and Scribbles has nominated this blog to participate in Tripbase's My 7 Links Project. The project aims to “unite all bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned, and create a bank of blog posts that deserve to see the light of day again”. Each nominated blogger then selects 7 posts from their archives that fit into the following categories:

My most beautiful post: (My saddest)

My most popular post: (My view of Twitter has now changed) Social Networking

My most controversial post: (Sort of) Rambling Responsibility -Banning Books

My most helpful post: Benefits of Healthy Writing

Post whose success surprised me. Group Hug and Gucci Shoes
Post I feel didn't get the attention it deserved. Writer's Block -Word Trigger ToolsPost I am most proud of. It just has to be...My Marketing Plan for - Whenever

Thank you Loree for nominating my blog to participate in this project. After a bit of pondering, here are my Five links for you to savour:

Sharkbytes and Tales

The Time Sculptures Secret

Giggles and Guns

Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares

Theresa's Tales of Teaching Tribulations and Typing Teen Text

Ripper, My Love >The Blurb

Growing up in late nineteenth century East London, Kitty Harper’s life is filled with danger and death – from her mother, her beloved neighbour and the working women of the streets. With her ever-watchful father and living surrogate family though, Kitty feels protected from harm. In fact, she feels so safe that while Whitechapel cowers under the cloud of a fearsome murderer, she strikes out on her own, moving into new premises to accommodate her sewing business.

But danger is closer than she thinks. In truth, it has burrowed itself right into her heart in the form of a handsome yet troubled bachelor, threatening everything she holds dear. Will Kitty fall prey to lust – and death – herself, or can she find the strength inside to fight for her business, sanity and her future? And who is the man terrifying the streets of East London?

Second Completed Novel Due out Dec 2012

Maggie's Child > The Blurb

When farmer’s wife Maggie Sawbury gives birth to her fifth child, the only one that has lived, she is overwhelmed. So overwhelmed she leaves it on the roadside to be found by passers-by. The baby is a result of an extra marital affair and her life is not one she wants her child to endure.

Her bully of a husband finds her a new job as a wet nurse and from that moment her life changes. Secret builds upon secret. A serious beating from her husband brings with it new challenges and heartbreak. When love and the possibility of incest threatens to open old wounds Maggie has a dilemma to solve. If she tells all she knows it will bring about the destruction of the bond between her and the child she has helped to bring up. Is she strong enough to live with the risk or does Maggie walk away from a secret past and the farm she loves? The end result brings with it a secret even Maggie cannot believe.
