How far would you go to find yourself?



The Blue Wings of the Dragonfly is a heartfelt tale of triumph and tragedy, of being tested by the universe over and over. In reading it, you'll feel as though you're simply having a conversation with the author, one in which she takes you into the most personal aspects of her life. It tugs at your heartstrings, and you'll likely find yourself tearing up – but ultimately leaving with a feeling of hope for yourself and for this life.

— Chelsea Young, Editor-in-Chief of So Scottsdale! magazine and Author of the forthcoming children's book, The Color of Mother.

In this all-too-human memoir, you'll walk casually through childhood moments and adult routines, periodically seized with fear, shame, anger, trauma and deep loss as you journey through Roggeman's world. Veiled thinly beneath the graceful and sweet story line is everyone's journey through life. Messy, absurd and over flowing with affliction and loss. It speaks to us of being human through pain, yet always alluding to change, growth and hope. It is about loving who you are, giving back to society and embracing your fears. We don't realize all the things we internalize. They dwell in the shadows of our mind. It takes courage to not be afraid of revealing or feeling your hidden emotions. It's okay to be vulnerable. Moving and tender, you're driven towards unity and possibility as you cry and smile with her.
      It's compelling and written from the heart. By chance? I think not. Everything happens for a reason. We may not recognize it at the time, but the reason is eventually revealed. I learned to be the dutiful daughter, the caring mother, the loving wife and the devoted sibling. Somewhere in all of this, I lost myself along the way. My hope is that this book will help others to find themselves. To have a better understanding of life and what makes you happy, sad, joyful, fearful and loved. To follow your inner guidance to listen and know that in the silence is where you will find yourself, for you are never alone. My hope is that you discover your BLISS!

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris...

A Tip for Authors: What to Put on the Back Cover of a Book

If you have accomplished the arduous task of writing a book, you may not embrace the job of choosing what to put on your book's back cover. Maybe you think that a short biography, along with a few endorsements should suffice. Actually the material on the back cover can carry out its intended job, without the presence of a two or three line bio. It does pay to highlight any endorsements you have received from experts within the industry, or from recognized members of government or society. Still, you may not have on file an endorsement that can stir up the emotions in a potential reader. Yet you have little reason to hope that the reader of the rear covering piece will elect to look at the pages between the covers, if you fail to trigger that same person's emotions. With that fact in mind, you must consider what emotions might push a book lover to purchase the publication that bears your name. Maybe that potential reader feels challeng...

Those S and ES Endings by Mary Deal

These endings have always troubled me until I finally decided to get it right. Compare the versions and pick out the correct usages in this name ending with the letter s . The Joneses came for dinner. The Jones’s came for dinner. The Jones came for dinner. John Joneses car stalled. John Jones car stalled. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones’s girl. That Joneses girl. That Jones girl. The correct sentences are: The Joneses came for dinner. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones girl. Some tips: When a name ends with an s, and when speaking of the family as a group, add es , as in Joneses. When speaking about something John Jones owned, it is his property and, therefore, an apostrophe and s shows ownership, as in Jones’s . When speaking about a person in the singular, use only the name Jones. However, when speaking about a group of girls all named Jones, you would write that sentence: The Jones girls . Notice that the name stays...
