MARIA'S MOMENTS
Exciting news! In case you hadn't heard, I'm a Paparazzi Consultant. I absolutely love their jewelry. You can buy a beautiful necklace with matching earrings for only $8.00! Gorgeous rings and bracelets are individually priced at $8.00 as well. Paparazzi now has a new line of exquisite jewelry called Cachet. Wear stunning, modern pieces at reasonable prices. You may join my public Facebook group, The Joy of Jewelry. For your convenience, you can order directly through my website.
I love bling, so I couldn't wait to adorn jewelry from Paparazzi at my nephew's wedding a month ago. I felt like a million bucks! 💎
The wedding was a much welcomed bright spot this year. I'm not going to lie. Life hasn't been easy lately. It's been an uphill battle for over a year. Just when I thought things were getting better, they got worse. Much worse. The one thing that keeps me going is my Lord and Savior. Without Him, my life would be utterly unbearable. Praise Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins. It puts things into perspective. I'm not worthy on my own to walk on the golden pathways in heaven. However, thanks to Jesus, my life after this one on earth will be bliss. That's my hope. That's what I cling onto. That's my reality. That's what I write about...
Speaking of writing, I'm going to be reading an excerpt from my first book, Not Again, the novel that started this roller-coaster life as a self-published author. The reading will be at Phoenixville Library, a local library, starting at 6pm this Thursday, October 23. Signed paperbacks will be available for sale. If you live close by, I would be honored if you attended.
A new book trailer was inspired by the in-person reading. It includes the first song I wrote for the Not Again series. I hope you enjoy it.
⛵COME ABOARD!🌊
Ahoy, mates! Not Again Val's Story, book 4 of the Not Again saga needs beta readers and more early reviewers. We sailed smoothly through the summer of 2024 to write the last four novels of the Not Again series. Currently, I'm looking for new launch crew members. They are my shipmates who help me get the book launched and navigate the high seas. For those who read, review, and promote my books, I make it easy for you as the captain. So, do you want to sail the open seas with me to get the Not Again series known throughout the world? Contact me directly to become fishers of mankind via my author email, authormariathenriksen@gmail.com to apply. We'll be launching again in 2026. Join our next excursion with Not Again Val's Story.
