Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.
"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.
For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".
Hi! If you're going to be in the Nashville area next week, I hope you'll stop by the Opry Mills Mall Barnes & Noble to say hi!
I'll be there on Thursday night, Sept. 3rd at 7 p.m., signing copies of my horror novels COVENANT, that came out last fall in paperback, and my new book, SACRIFICE which just hit stores in May! My third novel, THE 13TH is out in hardcover now, and will be in paperback just in time for Halloween.
If you'd like a taste of my fiction, I've posted links to some of my short stories that are available on the web on my MySpace profile page!
Thanks for the friendship..How's life treating you?.. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
