MARIA'S MOMENTS


Today is my birthday, and I'd like to give someone a gift for supporting me. I have dedicated well over half a decade to publishing works that will inspire, but I need your help in getting the word the out. Many of you have been on this journey with me from the beginning. Some of you are new to me. Either way, I appreciate each and every one of you. The life of an author is not an easy one. Sometimes all it takes is an encouraging comment to stay on the path of authorship. For a chance to win a Not Again magnet, please comment, like, and share this post. When commenting, state who you are if you are not identified by your user name. You can send me an email or message to confirm your identity as well to be entered to win. Bonus points for your creativity and going the extra mile to share this! Thanks again for joining me in this journey. You are the best! I couldn't do this without you!


Having support is a step in the right direction.


GRATEFUL FOR THE NOT AGAIN SERIES!


Have you ever experienced something that was awful and you found solace in an unexpected place? I have. While I was writing my novels, I found what I wrote to be therapeutic. My hope is that the Not Again series will be that path of healing for you. Helping others became my motivation to write books. My intent is that if you are suffering or struggling in any way, you will begin a journey of healing from having read the epic series, Not Again. At the very least, you will be entertained by my writing. Ultimately, my prayer is that you develop a closer relationship with God upon finishing my books. Readers have reached out to me stating that my prayer has become a praise for them. My wish is that you will also have a positive transformation from having read Not Again. What are you waiting for? Start the Not Again saga today to become empowered.

The Not Again Series Description


Four friends. Trauma.

Heart-warming. Unforgettable…


The nostalgic series, Not Again, is a sweeping saga that goes beyond the traditional, formulaic, Christian themes. This epic, six-book narrative explores the in-depth lives of four female friends who share a special bond as told by each of them at different stages of their lives. Take an unexpected journey with these inspiring girls from the life-altering challenges they face growing up during the 1980s to stepping into the harsh responsibilities of womanhood in the early 1990s. Their romances are as swoon-worthy as their trials are gut-wrenching. As gripping standalones, each life-affirming book demonstrates the unconditional and fierce love God has for each of us and will be etched on the hearts of readers forever.

AUTHOR CENTRAL


FEATURED AUTHOR: LORI SOARD


Author Bio:

Lori Soard has a PhD in Journalism and Creative Writing, but she's hardly the stuffy professor type. She loves nothing better than a good romantic comedy and thinks the good guy should always win and the ending should always be happy.


From an early age, Lori started honing her story telling skills. As a kid she was rarely seen without a book in her hand, even walking and reading at the same time. Her first stories were about the world around her. At twenty she wrote her first novel, which she admits was horrible. At twenty-one, she sold her first article to a local newspaper. Once she got that taste of having others read her work and realizing that she could reach others and touch their hearts, there was no turning back for this natural born writer.


"If I can make someone's day just a tiny bit better," Lori says, "if I can make them smile even though they are sad, make them think things could be better, make them understand how much God loves them, then I have accomplished something. I write my stories, articles and books with that one person in mind who really needs the message. If I can change one person's perspective, then I've succeeded."

Lori is a life-long Hoosier and lives in southern Indiana with her two daughters, husband and beloved pets. "During the extreme low points in life, it has been my animals that have seen me through. There is nothing like the deep devotion of a dog or the unconditional love of a cat." Lori adores animals and while some of her dear friends have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge she will always stand by her belief that animals make the world a better place.
