Beth Williamson’s Blog

Romantic Times has their reviews up for the March issue and The Treasure was reviewed.

4 1/2 Stars!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Here’s a snippet…

Williamson creates a novel filled with complex characters, searing love scenes and social issues that are relevant today. From their first ardent kiss, Ray and Lily are combustible, and their path to love is fascinating. Book four of the Malloy family series is just as absorbing and passionate as the previous novels. — Keitha Hart

Thank you Keitha for reading my book and for writing such a wonderful review. It makes me feel so good inside! I’m dancing on the ceiling today!!

Erin the Innocent has taken on a personal cause to raise money for breast cancer research. Here’s a snippet from her blog:

On July 27-29, 2007 I’ll be participating in a very special event called The Weekend to End Breast Cancer.

I’ll walk 60 kilometres over the course of one weekend with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, treatment, and services through the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

I’ve agreed to raise at least $2,000, but I’ve set my personal goal at $3,000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation? Use this link to go visit my site - and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind how far I’m walking - and how hard I’ll have to train.

According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 will die from the disease. That’s why I’m walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you’ll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.

Some fabulous authors (including me) have offered up lots of books as prizes to be given away from now until July. Please take the time to donate some money to help the cause and perhaps get a free book as a sweet treat!

I was browsing on an astrology website and found a very interesting Chinese astrology site. I was born in the year of the Goat. This is what it says about 2007…

Goat Overview

Provided by Astrology.com

This year you’ll benefit from excellent astral influxes. You’ll know how to profit by life and by all the events it brings about. You’ll achieve most of your dearest projects. However, you’ll sometimes have to cope with questions that may perhaps be brutal and painful but that will bring about a definite improvement of your attitude and of your heart. Submit yourself graciously to such astral influences, do not shirk them. You might pretty often happen to be too idealistic, to the point of losing your sense of reality and consequently exposing yourself to deceptions you’ll find hard to endure. Try to have better balanced views of people and things. In order to protect yourself against sorrow and discouragement provoked by other people’s demeanor that you will deem deplorable, remind yourself that man could be everything but reasonable.

{Okay, who’s going to be mean to me?}

And here is my romantic overview for 2007…

Goat Romantic

Provided by Astrology.com

First quarter

A relatively calm period as far as your love affairs are concerned. You must reckon with the star Van Khuc, who’ll incline you to idealize your beloved one for the best but also for the worst. If you’re single, be careful not to delude yourself too much; you may embellish reality and lend remarkable qualities to a person who’s, in fact, quite ordinary.

Second quarter

There’ll be an upheaval in your love life on account of the uncomfortable position of the star Cu Mon in House XI. Passion might very well rush into your life and disrupt everything on its way. You’ll be ready to follow your new love to the end of the world, or to give up immediately if your couple is going awry. Prudence, prudence! At least take some time to think, otherwise you may have to regret having acted on the spur of the moment.

Third quarter

During this period, if you’re married and happy with your spouse, the astral influences will simply bring about an alternation of tender moments and some small tensions. Some natives of Earth years will fall in love; beware, domestic risks will be inevitable! If you’re single, a planetary cocktail will result in provoking sweeping love at first sight and also in confronting you with difficult choices.

Fourth quarter

Rather stormy relationships with your spouse or mate in view! Your house will be fairly shaken. However, at least, you won’t have the impression of sinking into routine. Your couple life will be spicy, and such strong emotions will perhaps not displease you. Beware nevertheless, as you must know which limits not to cross! Think of treading carefully where the other one is concerned, especially if they are a native of the Rabbit sign. Most of natives of the sign will live their love affairs in a chaotic manner, but they won’t complain about it!

{Kind of up and down, eh? I like the spicy, but not the chaotic}
