Great time to discover the most recent writings by some of the authors of FreeValleyPublishing!

I almost forgot I had a blog (or two)! No, in all seriousness, I’d fallen behind in keeping the pocket of time of sharing a pondering, photo or poem.
As you can see from the banner above, it’s that time of year again! And, alas, I’m doing this year’s novel completely blind and unprepared.
Luckily, I’m not doing this alone. The Snoqualmie Valley Region – 58 writers strong! – has the wits sharpened and the inner critics banished as we are going to be ‘Cloaked in Mystery’ this go-around. And the upcoming fun is made possible by the amazing co-ML (and author of one of the most enjoyable adventure stories of late!), Quinnleeeee!
How about you? Are you letting your story, your muse take flight?
If you’re looking for adventure, the wait is over!
At long last, the first book in the Miss LiV Adventures series is released in Paperback and Kindle! Be the first to get your copy today!
The launch party for this book will be part of the Bard & Starlet Radio Hour performance night on Nov. 12th…More Details soon…
Save the date Nov. 12th 4-6:30pm to Meet FVP Featured Author, Kennedy J. Quinn at Black Dog Arts Cafe’ in Snoqualmie, WA!

Writers from FreeValley Publishing are taking to the stage again! Free program to enjoy on Saturday, November 12th at 4pm at the Black Dog Arts Cafe.

On the Trail – August 2016
“To hell with circumstances: I create opportunities.” ~ Bruce Lee
A friend and I had a chance to go to the Wing Luke Museum to see the second year of the Bruce Lee Exhibit: Breaking Barriers before it closed. Looking forward to the opening of Year Three (the final piece).
It was amazing to discover just how many barriers Bruce broke, especially during his time in Seattle. Inter-racial marriage, teaching kung fu to women, gathering students from other forms of fighting and creating a sense of unity, to name a few.
And here we are, still breaking barriers. What breakthroughs have you been a part of or are prepared to start?

I lost logic somewhere along the year. As for goals that really matter to me, too many are not quite so near. And then you hear the one odd mark – ‘It’s Thursday; why are we having fun?’ (The better question is ‘Why not?!’) Follow this with a stare at the stacks and ask ‘Will I really get anything done?’
On a jolly note (happiness is paydays), the goal has been reached for me to climb the Space Needle. Add to that a perfectly timed quote shared:
“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli
So now to stumble back on track, time to gain that confidence back!
What bounce-backs have you gone through so far this year?

Boeing Fly-Over 2016
Nearer to the stars
Enveloped in hope
Wrapped in more than it seems
How far will you go to
Enjoy the view
Imagine the limitless possibilities
Great dreamers
Have and nurture over
Time, until, like the
Stars, it’s their moment to shine

Inside the Needle 2015
The countdown begins until the ascent again. An enjoyable moment was attending the Art & Science Art Walk in the Mundie Courtyard of the Fred Hutch Campus. A delightful discovery was that the thirty pieces of art from fifteen labs was only a small fraction of the resources available at Fred Hutch, and that the doctors are passionate about finding a cure.
If you are in the Seattle area, go to the Visitor Center and learn something new today.

Simplicity in the plainest of things
Uncovering things taken for granted
New revelations nearby
Stop, look and listen
Everything adds a note to
Todays, tomorrows, and yesterdays gone by.
