'I'm in and I love it!'

What a wonderful idea - I am delighted to contribute. Everyone should have a pile of unread books beside their bed! Trish Clark

Although my name is nothing special, but still I want to help in my own little way and be a part of this great endeavour. I admire and respect your attentiveness to those who are in needs. I really am so happy to be a member of Shadow Forest Authors. God bless you, SFA! Ernesto Pangilinan Santiago

Thank you so much SFA. What you are doing is just absolutely wonderful and I am so honored to be a part of helping in this way. You are a jewel! Keep me updated on everything. Deborah Simpson

Literacy has never been so important in the world we live. In any society, everyone especially children should be able to read and write so their knowledge may one day contribute to the general well-being of humankind. Thanks to Shadow Forest Authors and all the wonderful Organisations who look for new and used books as well as eBooks to distribute them where they are urgently needed, we may hope that one day, everyone will have access to all the knowledge accumulated since writing exists. Donate to such a great cause is therefore one of our duties. Christiane

I am pleased to be a member of the Shadow Forest Authors. As an author, I love the idea of books winging their way to every corner of the globe. I love to think that one of my books might enrich someone’s life, as writing those books have enriched mine. As a reader, I know I would forsake TV, computer, radio, and movies before I’d give up books. Other forms of entertainment and intellectual pursuit will sometimes enhance the book, but they will never replace it. Thank you, SFA for this opportunity to be a part of bringing pleasure to others through books. Eunice Boeve

As an author, one of the main reasons I write is to entertain people, to make them happy, and give them a world they love being in and escaping to. Beyond this dream, that a book can help a fellow human being along the path to literacy is an incredibly beautiful, meaningful and deeply rewarding gift. I am very, very proud and truly honored to be a member of Shadow Forest Authors. –Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands

This is one of the most worthy organizations I've ever encountered. In the written word, we find inspiration, courage, laughter, hope and love. Books declare the best of who and what we are as the human race; Shadow Forest spreads that vision throughout the world. Now, what could be better than that? Ann B Keller - author of Briggen

This is a wonderful organization you've created here. Illiteracy is such a huge issue all around the world and anything to help promote reading and learning, I'm definitely up for. Please keep up the great work. I'm glad to be a part of a great system to help change people's lives for the better! Rae Lori- author of The Eye of Alloria

This is a good idea getting books to people who have none or who have little opportunity to get them, it furthers their reading skills and promotes the written word to many other people in this age of the internet. I think everyone should read and have access to books of many types and topics. And by improving other peoples reading ability, maybe they can then start to write and tell their story? I am a firm believer in encouraging not just in other people reading but them writing as well. Keep up the good work, I’m so happy to be a part of this. Nick Armbrister, author of Her name is hope

Having been a teacher for 20 years, I can only applaud what you are doing to promote literacy around the world, whilst also encouraging an appreciation and enjoyment of the written word. In this age of computer games and digital T.V., the more exposure to books that youngsters, in particular, can get - whether in electronic or paper form - the better. The more they can read, the more they can expand their vocabulary and learn 'correct' grammar - at least, that is my hope! I wish you every success in your future efforts. Helena Harper, author of It's a Teacher's Life

Even though I am a new 10yr old author, I am capable of doing what other people older than me are doing. I feel honored of working to be a part of Shadow Forest Authors, and for allowing me to express myself freely. I have chosen MOSI as the charity I plan to work with, as I am seriously willing to take an active part of helping by starting my own small business of making gem bracelets and bookmarks, so far I have about 100 now, but work on them daily. In October I will sell them at my book event and send the money to MOSI, as well as my books. I have been scheduling lots of school speaking events and along side of promoting my books I will include SFA and MOSI to help spread the word and see how we can push a little harder each time. Actions speak for themselves, I may be far, but close enough to find my way there. You can count on me now and later! Shanaya Fastje Author of "Mystery School" books

I am truly honored to be a part of something that gives to the world-wide community of readers such as this organization. Writing for me is not only a way to express who I really am but I really hope to entertain and inspire others. A thank you to everyone involved! Christina Noll - author 'Saving Rose'

About me:

A call to all authors, readers! Shadow Forest Authors is a fellowship of authors and readers for charity. Our mission is to get authors from around the world and from all genres to unite with SFA and participate in donating books and e-books to selected beneficiaries, literary foundations who fill a much needed void in books.

SFA invites authors to get listed and participate in this worthy cause. All we ask is that authors donate a copy of their title to a SFA beneficiary of their choice. You don't have to be an author to partisipate:

More Beneficiearies are being added to cover the globe.
Participating authors receive a mention on the SFA web site and the chance to sell further books via our unique supporter program.

Come join us, united we can fill a much needed void in worldwide literacy issues. SFA is seeking to list one million authors within 6 months, help us to achieve this and more by acting today!!

We would appreciate you passing this invitation onto other authors and readers, every little bit helps. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIST WITH SFA TO DONATE A COPY OF YOUR TITLE TO ONE OF OUR BENEFICIARIES, JUST ADD A NOTE TO LET THEM KNOW YOU SUPPORT SFA.

Who I'd like to meet:

Authors of paperback and e-books, whether traditionally or self published, all genres. Readers, publishers, agents, book sellers, anyone who is interested in supporting literacy issues worldwide. We also give recognition to our V.I.P Supporters, so become one today.

Autumns beautiful magic transforms Summer
into Winter. The brilliant colors, the
cool breeze, & frosty nights signal excitement of upcoming holidays. Listen to the harmonic laughter of beautiful
people, the honk of migrating geese or
the purr of happy cat . Sweet

Happy Friday 13th!
Energy is neither good
nor bad, it is how we decide to use that energy that defines who we are and the
kind of experiences we have. Friday 13^th is a powerful day, but not
one to be feared. We must always remember that whatever we think about we will
attract into our lives. By keeping our thoughts positive and proactive this
powerful stream of energy can be used to bring good things into our lives. So don’t face today with
fear but look at it as a day as any other filled with possibilities, it is a
powerful day none the less so choose to use the energy wisely! Have a wonderful day and weekend too:-)

~♥~One Heartbeat Of Lov…

Love is like a butterfly

Love is like a butterfly
in so many, many ways.
It brings a bit of sunshine
even on gloomy days.
It makes our souls feel lighter
just to know it's there
And gives our spirits wings,
as if floating in the air.
It carries us to places
that we never knew before
And comes in many sizes,
shapes and hues galore.

Once we've seen it,
we wish to hold onto it so tight
But like a frail butterfly,
we must allow it free flight,
For if we should try to cage it up
and hold it in a pen,
We'll surely crush its wings,
and it'll never fly again.
To keep that love glowing
in our hearts each day,
We must remember always
to give some of it away.

Every little bit we give to
someone else to share
Comes back tenfold,
and we've so much to spare.
Put your love on gossamer wings,
and give it flight;
It will return to you,
and bring you much delight.

May your day be blessed
Hugs~♥~Cyndi

A sunbeam is needed sometimes. A kind word, a greeting, a caress are needed, a smile. So few things are needed for it in order for us to make those who live around us happy. Why do we not do this then?

Magick is in the air!

It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time
and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the
worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones
is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way
to the Summerlands.

Wishing you a blessed Samhain/Halloween Christine
