A Great Way to Start out 2010

2010-01-10T11:12:00.001-08:00

I've been plugging away at writing novels for about the past year. I completed two novels, a novella for children, a 'time travel' novella, and I have started a third novel. Wow! On my birthday (a few days into the New Year) I signed a contract with Echelon Press for ebook publication of 11:11 'Countdown to 2012.' Also, on my birthday, I received a phone call from the local bookstore that they had sold out of the 11:11 books and wanted more. Not a bad way to start out the year!

It a great feeling knowing that you have accomplished something you always wanted to do, but, for whatever reason, could never find the time. And when someone else appreciates your hard work, it's a really great feeling!

Writing accomplishments from the past year or so:

11:11 'Countdown to 2012';
The Theory of Everything;
Far Into Yesterday;
Restoring 'Tween Time: A Roscoe Creme Adventure;
several ezine articles;
now in the works: Gentle Planet;
my own website: VernaClay.com

My advice: It's not always easy reaching goals (I'm the prime example), but a little each day adds up to a lot over a year. This has been my lesson from the past year.

Happy goal setting and accomplishing! 2010 is going to be a great year!

11:11 'Countdown to 2012'

2009-07-10T21:21:00.000-07:00

I've just completed my first full length novel. It's exciting to finally have a finished product. The characters in the book have become so real to me, it's like they're walking, talking, breathing people - Theodore Baldwin and Eve Applegate.

The story begins in the Spring of 2011, which means the year 2012 is fast approaching, and Theo, as he prefers to be called, has received the daunting task of bringing Eve into REALIZATION. Unbeknowst to her, the fate of the world rests in her hands.

Eve, just trying to get ahead by attending college at night, has been plagued for the past two years by the numbers 11:11. Everywhere she looks the numbers pop up and it's starting to freak her out.

When Theo moves into the apartment across from Eve with the intent of bringing her into REALIZATION while, at the same time, protecting her from forces seeking to permanently remove her, he comes up with an ingenious way of getting her attention. If only she would cooperate and stop avoiding him.

Of course, his plan eventually blows up in their faces (literally), and he is forced to take Eve on a whirlwind globe-trotting adventure to enigmatic places and reveal mysteries that she must piece together. REALIZATION only comes through inner knowing.

Can Theo and Eve save the world from the same fate as Atlantis - total annihilation?

Perhaps their journey will solve some mysteries for the reader as well: mysteries surrounding Giant Rock and Crystal Hill, Avebury, crop circles, the Denver Airport, the Illuminati, the 11:11 enigma, and many more.

I've often said I would like to be a fly on the wall in certain circumstances, and traveling with Eve and Theo accomplished just that. If you want to be a fly on the wall and partake of an incredible journey of discovery, 11:11 'Countdown to 2012,' is the perfect book for you.

You can also go directly to http://www.lulu.com/ and type "Verna Clay" in the search box to bring up, 11:11 'Countdown to 2012,' and my children's book, Restoring 'Tween Time. Happy reading!

S.O.L.F.A. Sound Christmas Special

Christmas is fast approaching. I began buying gifts for my loved ones a few months ago. My favorite gift for loved ones is finding that special book. For my grandsons, books on "Pirateolgy," "Dinosaurology," "Dragonolgy," or anything of that sort is something they really get into. For the girls it's "Fairyolgy," "Princessology," or something of that nature. It's fun coming across that special book that you know will strike their imaginations for months and maybe years to come. Also, I have found that "Ripley's Believe It or Not" is always a hit!

At S.O.L.F.A. Sound our Christmas special is free shipping on all purchases from November 26 through December 25. If you want something truly unique, please visit our products page.

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

Ezine Articles

Verna has been very busy writing ezine articles that can be viewed at http://www.ezinearticles.com/?expert=Verna_Clay:

Nicola Tesla, Tsela, and the Garden of Eden
It has been hinted that the greatest genius of the 20th century was not Albert Einstein, but Nicola Tesla.

Gregorian Chants

2008-09-14T01:30:00.000-07:00

I have been doing some recent research on Gregorian chants. Seems there is a revival happening with the chants. There is a CD that hit the pop charts and even out-sold Madonna. (What a strange play on words... makes you go hmm.) The CD is entitled "Chant: Music for the Soul" and it is performed by the monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz, a 12th-century Cistercian monastery near Vienna.

In one article, a neuro-scientist (no name given), was quoted as saying that chanting has healing properties and has been shown to lower blood pressure and increase levels of the performance hormone DHA.

This makes sense to me because I have listened to these wonderful chants. They have a magical quality words cannot explain. They are something to be experienced.

Getting Started

2008-09-12T01:21:00.000-07:00

Entering the blogger world is a new experience for us. We have had our website up for years but recently decided to jump in with both feet and avail ourselves of the endless possiblities of blogging and ezines and adwords, etc. We had our first ezine article published at ezine.com. It's titled Ancient Intents Hidden Within the Solfa Scale. Our current project is an an ebook and it's proving to be quite challenging. We're not complaining though. When we look at how much we have achieved in the past few years and how much we hope to achieve, we get excited all over again!
