Trusting the Currents by Lynnda Pollio

-


Today we have a guest blog by Lynnda Pollio, Author of Trusting the Currents

Lynnda Pollio never expected to be a writer.

That changed when she began hearing the voice of Addie Mae Aubrey, a Southern, African American woman. Her first words, It’s not what happened to me that matters, began a spirited remembering of Addie Mae’s teenage years in the late 1930s rural south and the hard learned wisdom she asked Lynnda to share.

Beginning at age eleven with the arrival of beautiful, mysterious cousin Jenny and her shadowy stepfather, Uncle Joe, Trusting the Currents explores Addie Mae’s reluctant awakening. As Jenny introduces Addie Mae to the world beyond what can be seen, romantic love enters her life for the first time with Rawley. Unfathomable loss and rising trust in the “Invisibles” leads Addie Mae on a tumultuous journey to a life-altering decision.

Trusting the Currents is a story of self-discovery—of faith, courage, family, and the uneasy search for one’s place in life. It represents a new literary genre of “conscious storytelling”, engaging high spiritual frequencies that resonate with the reader’s heart, guiding them deep into their own truth and transformation. Addie Mae’s story may belong to one woman, but the lessons it teaches belong to everyone willing to open their hearts and listen to the truth within their souls.

Trusting the Currents won the 2014 Nautilus Book Awards gold award in Fiction. The Nautilus Book Awards honors books of high literary merit that promote spiritual growth, conscious living and positive social change. Previous Nautilus Book Award recipients include Barbara Kingsolver, The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and Marianne Williamson.

Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website. This website can be a traditional one or it may be having a profile on a voice-over marketplace. Most people have both. In the following sections, we focus on how you can build your web presence with a personal website that you can be proud of, how you can utilize social media, how you can maximize how people can locate your presence, and how you can advertise online. (We discuss a marketplace site in the “Utilizing a Voice Acting Marketplace Website” section in this chapter.) Building a personal website When you modestly invest...

The First Review of Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book

AudiobookFans.com Gives Yikes! 4.5 Stars      Two bloggers from Indiana are the fist to review Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. Maggie and John, siblings who administer the AudiobookFans.com website, have reviewed more than 200 audiobooks. Although Maggie and John are related, their preferences differ when it comes to genre. This is good news for audio book publishers who are looking to get their work reviewed because if one of them isn't interested, chances are the other one is!      John began his journey into the world of audio books to keep him company during his business travels. Maggie caught the bug in the gym when she made the happy discovery that a good story can do a lot to perk up a ho-hum workout.      Although the emphasis on the AudiobookFans website is on audio books, Maggie says the best thing about the blog is corresponding with readers.      “ Talking to our readers and making ne...
