Here is the Crest and Coat of arms from the House of Glendenning
The Tarlatan is from the house of Douglas. Our Tarlatan was destroyed and is untraceable. The symbol on the left is the crest the Glendenning boys would use to fasten their tarlatans. The symbol on the right is the coat of arms. The Clan chief is unnamed because he was stripped of…[Read more]

Actually, that’s an interesting story. One that I know.
Ireland: Dunn
So, In Ireland we were from the house of Dunn. Here is the crest. (I haven’t done as much research into the history on this side, so I don’t have the tarlatan.
My ancestors the Dunns lived in the County Meath (Irish: An Mhí) anciently part of the k…[Read more]

I actually don’t know what clan I’m from; my Scots-Irish side only immigrated about a hundred years ago I think. Or less. I’m really mostly Welsh, and my great-grandfather was a coal-miner “down the pits.” My grandfather’s second cousin is a druid, and my grandfather is a retired Reformed Presbyterian minister.
Also one…[Read more]

Okay, okay. I’m scots-irish too, so I guess you might call me one. Or at least a red-neck. (I’ve got Jewish and German as well. it makes a very interesting mix)
Anyhow, I meant that we know how to use things like computers. lol.

Awesome!! Thank you for the update! It’s good to hear that things are going well, even if there have been many tears involved (that just means its a good book, right?). Hope your characters aren’t giving you too much pain. XD
@koshka Thank you! :3 And yes, many tears involved XD (but yesss. I personally love books that make me cry😆). Pffffffft they always are: it’s just a given by this point🙄 I’d say Leon more than Riker in Book #2 tho, but then again, they’ve both broken me🫠
Thank you so much for the update!
Oh now I really can’t wait! Reading the impactful stories is so, so good. I’ve written a few of those books that really make me cry, but it’s often those books that end up having the most beautiful message and I am the most excited to let others read. So I really can’t wait! Do you have a tentative release date…[Read more]
@ellette-giselle I’m so glad you’re excited!! :3 And I’m certainly hoping it’s impactful💜
Hmmmm…no exact release date, as everything depends on getting some final steps done, including (but not limited to): finalizing a blurb/cover, getting it up on Amazon and getting a proof copy to look over (which the copy could take up to 2 weeks for me to…[Read more]
I’m so excited!!!!!!
I’m also looking at a spring 2025 release for the first book in my Saga! We’ll have to see who gets their book out first!

yesssss, it's a roller coaster that's for sure😭
Awesome!! I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait!! ✨
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering why you chose self-publishing over traditional? I have nothing against it of course, I’m just curious. 😊
@esther-c Tysm, girl! <3
I went with self-publishing for a few reasons.
1. To have complete control over my novels, what I'm writing, etc.
2. To get more of an income from it (publishers take a LOT of the money when you publish your book simply bc of the agreement and the fact that they do most of the work).
3. Often, publishers make you sign a…[Read more]
Ok, interesting! Yeah, that does answer my question! 😊 I’ve considered self-publishing, but I think I’m gonna go with traditional. At least that’s what I’ve been thinking about and drawn to lately. Your reasoning totally makes sense though! <3
OH! And I wanted to let you know, I talked to someone who’s done publishing through Amazon and she says that you an get replacement copies if they mess up the formatting and send out the messed up books to people. I’m not exactly sure all the details and how that works with shipping or refunds, but I can talk to her again and get the info for you…[Read more]
@esther-c Best of luck to you with traditional publishing!💜
and wellllllll Amazon messed up the formatting for the actual document, so a replacement would (first come out of my pocket, Amazon doesn’t pay for replacements) but would be just as messed up anyhow simply bc the document itself was messed up because I didn’t know that Amazon’s paid…[Read more]
Thanks girl!! 🩷
Ughhh, that’s annoying 💀 But I suppose you live and learn. 🤷🏻♀️ At least you know for next time. :))
I’m so excited!!! And somewhat concerned for your poor characters. 😬 What are you doing to them?!
@theducktator Yay!!!! heh heh heh
they’ll be finnneeeeee
