New Book Release!
Mr. Breen is so excited to finally see his project come to fruition! This 84 year old pilot has been dreaming and working on his aviation memoir for over 30 years. When local children's book author, Danica Esparza, was featured in the Weatherford Now Magazine, Mr. Breen contacted them to ask Danica if she could help him turn his project into a reality.
Danica received his rough draft and quickly asked for help in a local Facebook group. I commented to offer help without knowing anything other than a military veteran in his 80s had a rough draft to publish. But since my hubby (and Luv Haus Press, LLC co-founder) is a veteran AND a pilot? It seemed like a wink from God telling us to help make this a reality.
So that's what we did.
The look on his face when he got that first author proof in the mail? Priceless. Totally worth all the hours spent editing, cover designing, double checking his memories with documents online, and talking with him.
10/10 would recommend helping someone publish their book. I have gotten so much joy and fulfillment through this process! Definitely want to do more of this.
When my daughter was 5, she experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury which completely changed our lives. This book is a result of my need to write to process all we went through. Finally released in 2017, it is a devotional that chronicles our journey through essential oils, healing science, the Bible, and prayer. It's workbook style, each day's devotional only taking about 10 minutes. Give it a try today.
When surgery sent me onto bedrest in the beginning of 2021, I knew I would go stir-crazy if I didn't write. So I dove back into researching the Bible, and thus, The Oily Devo 2 was born. It continues the story of our family's journey while sharing how understanding the trees of the Bible can deepen our relationship with God. Check it out.
After writing the second devotional in 2021 while on bedrest, I wrote the first book in this series, The Soldier Gets His Girl. Published both books in May of 2021, and that was the start of my publishing addiction. I mean, my new business as an author! 😆 That eventually led to self-publishing a dozen books and the official establishment of Luv Haus Press, LLC. While the Crimson Creek series has since been bought out by a bigger publisher, the experiences learned through writing to release have served me well. Hopefully I'll be able to help more authors see their stories turned into a reality too.
When your hubby is a DnD guru who reads only fantasy and you start to play Pathfinder for family game night weekly, you naturally develop a world rich with magic, lore, and a massive problem the heroes need to solve. Seriously, without him, this trilogy wouldn't exist. I needed a brain break from the routine of small town life in the above Crimson Creek series, and thus the Royal Oath trilogy was born. With familiar-ish fairy tales, you're sure to fall in love with the characters and their world. Hopefully, you'll stick around to see that pesky problem of a god of hell trying to break free from his prison solved.
