IMAGINE THIS
Tomorrow is last day for free kindle ebook
I started a promotion a week ago and tomorrow is the last day for you to get your free copy of In the Shadows of my Heart: Winter’s Darkest Hour on amazon kindle . Most people say, “Oh I don’t have a kindle so I can’t.” No this is entirely not true lol You can get a free reading app from amazon to read amazon kindle books. It was insane for them to name the tablet they created kindle because EVERYONE thinks you have to have one to read any of the ebooks. I have my free reading app downloaded to my Asus Tablet, My Asus laptop, and a phone! You can get your free copy of the reading app on amazon with this provided link Free Reading APP
Don’t miss out on your chance to get this free kindle ebook of my poetry (that was just released to the public through paperback “In the Shadows of my Heart: Winter’s Darkest Hour”). Share it, review it, blog about it, do whatever you want to do with this information!! LOL but it ends tomorrow!!! So be fast!
Final decisions
Well, I’m to Chapter 17/21 with my edits and revisions to Wastelands of Oz. I have finalized decisions on the outcome of some main characters and included the thoughts of my MC’s power gain. Once I finish this round of edits and revisions, I’m slipping the manuscript to beta readers!! I need some constructive criticism. However, in one of my writing groups on Facebook, it says for fantasy novels they have to be at 80,000+ words. At the moment, my novel resides at 55,000 words. I honestly do not know if I can pull another 25,000 words out of my a**. Once I add in the extra scenes and finish the revisions and detail add ins, I should be right around 60,000. My novel flows over into separate genres though. Dark Fantasy and Young Adult (I’d say 15+) It can be marketed to adults especially those who loved the original. I’m just lost as to what to do once everything is finished. Should I try to pound out an additional 25,000 words or just hope for the best with what I have?? *sigh*
Sample poem from my poetry book
Deaf Ears
The field is empty and cold
I sit at your feet with my heart heavier than ever
I speak to you as the wind blows past my face
The cold air burning my face
Tears stream down
As I plead with you for an answer
An answer to everything that holds me back
Your response falls silent to my deaf ears
I desperately need to hear your voice
To hear your words of wisdom and truth
Your silent response echoes deep within my heart
The tears stream down as I beg with you
I need your answer to move on
I need your answer to continue on throughout life
I cannot look up from where I sit
I stare at the flowers I have brought you
A gift from my heart
O how you loved your flowers
The warm smell of beautiful notes
That fill the empty voids of space
I close my eyes and rock back and forth
Wanting to hear you say the words
Wanting to hear your voice
The voice of reason
The voice of love
But yet again the sound of your voice falls on my deaf ears
I wipe away the tears that have betrayed my mind
I promised to be strong
I promised to not cry
I promised that I would take each word to heart
But the words are silent
Still
I stand from your feet and open my eyes
The light from the sun is blinding as it bounces from your reflective emanation
I reach out to touch your face
But I keep reaching on
I fall to my knees in despair
Grasping your flowers tight in my hands
Why won’t you listen to my pleading heart?
Why won’t you answer me back when I ask?
Why didn’t you stay with me forever?
Just as you promised you would
Why did you leave me torn into pieces?
I should be whole
I should be happy
But I’m not
You left me without letting me know why
Why!!?
I demand to know why!
But your answer still falls on my deaf ears.
I walk from your feet
To the reflecting light bouncing in my eyes
I walk closer to your heart
And I lay down your flowers right there
On the mound of dirt
In this freezing February air

VIRGINIA AUTHOR LAUNCHES HER FIRST POETRY BOOK: IN THE SHADOWS OF MY HEART: WINTER’S DARKEST HOUR
KASEY HILL has been writing poetry, fiction, and nonfiction for years. She finally took the initiative to have one of books of poetry published this year. Targeting those who suffer from SADD (Seasonal Affective Depressive Disorder) she pieced together a manuscript of spirituality, death, grief, loss, and even romance issues that tend to weigh down the minds of the sufferers.
Kasey’s poetry book, “In the Shadows of my Heart: Winter’s Darkest Hour,” was written this past winter of 2015. As a sufferer of SADD, Mrs. Hill took the disorder with leaps and bounds, and decided to pen a poetry book to help those who suffer from the disorder. SADD affects millions each year, and suicide is a main concern among physicians for their depressed patients. After losing her mother in 2009, she kept all of her emotions bottled inside. This past winter she decided to free those emotions by scribing her first published book.
“My hope for the success of this book isn’t a material gain, but a gain in the loves of the readers as they see how this disorder can be overcome.”– Kasey Hill
She strives every day to help those that suffer from the disorder to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Whether it is marital problems, a loved one’s death at the back of their mind, or even failing beliefs in their “God” of choice, this poetry book takes those hurtles, and presents a way out of the darkness of the year.

The power within
The power within is key in my novel. Two of the characters have to realize that the power they hold is greater than what they think it is. Maryjane is Dorothy’s daughter. She was born in the mortal world however, she has witch powers and goes the entire novel learning to use her powers. Charlie is Glinda’s son. The power he holds within himself no one, not even Glinda, knows exist aside from the 3 friends of Dorothy. Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion have witnessed his power first hand, even when he doesn’t remember it. They battle their inner demons of worth throughout the novel, realizing in the end that their powers were meant to fit together with one another.
Everyone has an unspoken power within their souls. You must learn to harness the power to defeat your enemies and demons.
