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!

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

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
