Soul Reader
by Lisa Zajkowski
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
skeptic Marvin meets artistic Natalie in a coffee shop on a cold October
morning, the two fall fast in love, but nothing is ever as easy as it feels.
Natalie
believes that a divine something is guiding her life for her greater good, and
it seems to be true. She lands her dream job and she and Marvin marry at a
beachside castle. However, the ease and flow of their lives start to change. At
the same time that Natalie becomes pregnant, Marvin experiences strange
symptoms and visits his doctor.
When
faced with a diagnosis that changes everything and odd dreams of the child that
hasn’t yet been born, will Marvin let go of his skepticism or will he miss out
on a lifetime with his loving family?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
They
walk through the archway and the dancing roses appear to be just what Talie
said it would be. The roses grow in such a fashion that they dance with the
breeze and the aroma in the garden is what love would smell like if there were
such a scent associated with it. There are thousands of vibrant colored roses
up and down in rows and they do not look like typical rose bushes. The stems of
the roses are different, stronger, and able to uphold the bud. Almost any color
that can be thought of is here, including purple, red, blue, yellow, rainbow,
black, turquoise, white, pink, orange, two and three tone colors, and a bright
red-orange sparkling rose. “Who owns this place?” Marvin asks. “There’s a
plaque with the owner’s name on it over here,” Talie says leading the way. The
memorial reads: Jonathan Rutherford and Ellen Campanilli Rutherford established
“Roses of the Garden” in 1913. “Wow,”
Marvin says, “They must have some secret formula regarding horticulture because
I’ve never seen such roses!”

GUEST POST:
How to Handle Negative Criticism:
I
think even the people who have a strong sense of self and positive self-image
can still get knocked down by negative criticism. Yet, the key to handing negative criticism
for me is to stay centered in knowing my passion and knowing that I am an
amazing person and that not everyone is going to like me or what I have to
say. I am okay with that because after
all, it is impossible for absolutely everyone to understand or to like me. Also, using negative criticism in a
constructive way. Looking at it through
the eyes of the giver and trying to see their point of view. Why didn’t they like it and can I learn
something from this? At the end of the
day though, what matters is that I did my very best and gave all of me into
whatever it that I was doing. I’m not
perfect and through imperfection can come growth and no matter how hard I may
want someone to love my work or like something in me, it doesn’t matter. Self-love is the highest and purest love that
I can receive and give to myself. There
are days that I don’t feel so confident and I question who I am, what I’m
doing, and how good my talents are. I
think that’s human and normal to question these things from time to time. Life on life’s terms can be daunting and at
times difficult. So, in times of any
negative criticism I hope that I remember that through contrast comes growth
and through growth comes wisdom.
