A dream come true...

[roxipoet]

For over 25 years I dedicated time to write.  I wrote many journals.  I wrote many poems and stories, in Spanish, my native language and in English. I dream that one day I was going to be able to publish a book.

Many times I thought it was just a silly dream, that I was probably going to die and someone else was going to use my smelly, old papers and become rich and famous!  What I learned along the years is that God has a perfect time for everything... If we welcome Him in our lives, He will take care even of our most inner dreams.

So this year the doors of opportunity opened.  Yes, I had to do my part.  Yes, I did some search for publishing companies.  But besides the company I found best to publish one of my books, a friend who owns his own publishing company offered to publish one of my books!  This last one was all God's idea!

I'm hoping to be able to hold my first two books in my hands within a month or two.  "Moonlight Kiss", a collection of romantic poetry and short stories will be publish by AuthorHouse.  It will be a bilingual book, in Spanish and English.  And my precious "Regalame un Milagro" (Grant me a Miracle) a collection of Inspirational poetry in Spanish, which includes poetry dedicated to children and poems dedicated to my country Puerto Rico and to social issues.

If anyone is interested in getting one of my books please send me a message and I'll gladly send you more information.

Thanks again Gayle!  For you and others.  My first poetry book, "Regalame un Milagro" (Grant me a Miracle" is touching many lives, it is a blessing to know what God can do with us to bless others!

We already placed the second  book order and we decided to sell the books directly from us or the publisher.  I will be working on the English version of this book to be publish with God's help in a near future.

Moonlight Kiss is already in the hands of AuthorHouse and should be available in August or September with God's help.  It will be available online using many online book stores or ordering at the main stores such as Barnes and Nobles.

God bless you!  Hugs. Roxana
