This #1 Amazon Best Seller from one of today’s top bloggers is a compassionate guide through the process of grieving for a lost loved one. Ty Alexander has touched many lives with her popular lifestyle blog, Gorgeous in Gray. But in her early 20s, her own life was upended when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Ty was suddenly forced to become not just a loving daughter, but a caregiver, patient advocate, and researcher. And when her mom passed the pain was overwhelming. Though she still grieves every day, her experience has taught her how to move on while still honoring the love that endures. In this beautiful, honest, and intensely personal guidebook, Ty provides the insight and inspiration that every mourner needs to make it through this time of unrelenting emotional pain and sadness. Her deep compassion, understanding, and enlightening true stories will help readers along every step of their grieving journey, from the shock of discovery through anger, disbelief, and despair, and ultimately to acceptance and healing. We all grieve differently, but the pain of loss is universal. Things I Wish I Knew before My Mom Died can provide a reassuring voice, a helping hand, and a shining beacon of hope for anyone who is heartsick and suffering.

Welcome to the world we have forgotten. A place where the myths of history that have been omitted from history still linger in the shadows.I challenge you to dare and enter the darkness, tread along forgotten paths for I promise they lead to a world of adventure.Introducing the “Origins Of” The Magdon Series. A collection of five novelette length stories charting the key events in the life of Archy who at the age of sixteen is thrust upon a path of adventure, discovery and excitement.Book 1 “Vercovicium” takes place at Hadrian's Wall, Summer 1911. Archy is given the chance to spend his summer at the excavation of a Roman Fort called Vercovicium. One fateful day Archy stumbles across a buried tomb. Braving the dark Archy sets off in exploration and discovers a long forgotten part of history. The events of that summer open a new adventure to Archy that will change him forever.Although short in length these episodic instalments focus on Archy in a way that makes the story accessible across all levels of reading. Aimed at 8+ readers, it is my hope that these stories can be ones that encourage a sense of adventure in future generations and rekindle that same sense in adults too. By limiting the length to between 10,000-12,000 words I hope that each story will slowly develop upon the mythology of The Magdon and also create a story that everyone can immerse themselves in and enjoy.These stories were born from a white-lie I told my own children and whilst it would be easy to create a full length novel from the premise I wanted to ensure the story could reach all ages, all imaginations and all levels. Every story, when separated, will give you a little more insight into the shadowy depths of forgotten beasts and lay the foundation of a bigger world. The story grows with the reader and with the main character Archy. My hope is that each instalment will offer you just enough to feel satisfied but leave you wanting more as I pick five key events of Archy’s life from the tie he first rediscovers The Magdon, aged sixteen, until his inevitable test some twenty-one years later.To find out more you may want to visit the official author website:gmsfootprints.wixsite.com/tobeyalexander Or else visit the official Facebook site at:facebook.com/TheMagdonThank you for trusting your imagination into my hands and rest assured The Magdon myth has a lot more in store beyond Archy’s adventures.

The shy ones are diamonds in the rough.QUINN THOMPSONWhen I walk into a room, the popular kids whisper about me. I don’t own designer clothes or name-brand shoes. I don’t wear low-cut shirts or tons of makeup either. I’m as plain Jane as a girl can get. I live on a farm, where the uniform of the day is boots, jeans, and a T-shirt unless it’s winter; then I trade my T-shirts for heavy sweaters and a parka. Baggy is my style.But I’m considered one of the nerds in school for reasons besides my wardrobe. I have my nose in books while the popular girls have their noses up jocks’ butts. I do everything I can to avoid the in crowd at Kensington High—until a new boy waltzes in. He’s tall like my brothers, handsome like Zach Efron, and disrupts my belief that boys only want one thing. My only problem is he’ll never notice me, not if my arch-nemesis has any say.MAIKEN MAXWELLBasketball has been my life until my dad died. I’m trying not to get depressed, but it’s hard to breathe sometimes. He’ll never cheer from the stands at any of my basketball games or shout at me to shoot that three-pointer. I promised him I would step up if anything happened to him, and now it’s time to be the man of the house.Only I’m torn between playing for the Kensington High basketball team and finding a job—until the girl with butterscotch hair snags my attention. She’s pretty, quirky, and her presence takes my mind off my troubles. Above all else, she makes me feel things that I’ve never felt before. In my mind, girls are just a distraction. They’re nice to look at, they talk too much, and they’re extremely pushy. Yet Quinn Thompson might change my opinion that all girls are created equal.
