The Giant Ferris Wheel and My New Blog with a Linky

I've been posting photos on the blog of things we did at the Prater in Vienna during the summer. One of the most popular things to do at the Prater is to visit the Giant Ferris Wheel. I've got a few photos here and I shared the others on my new blog. Things are changing on Amanda's Books and More. Be sure to read my big news below under the heading, "My New Blog."

***************************

My New Blog:

Big things are happening with my new website and my debut novel. The website is finished and this upcoming Friday I'll share a post with links for my debut novel, The Novice (Wayfinders Book 1) when the eBook goes live. In another week or so I'll have the paperback ready. Be sure to check out my latest blog post on my new website with another snippet from The Novice, "The Kingdom of Livania." Why the new website? I'm going to be reading and reviewing less now that I'm an epic fantasy author. This will not be my last blog post on Amanda's Books and More but it will be my last time hosting a blog hop.

St. Stephen's Cathedral, My New Blog, and a Linky

I hope you're enjoying your visit to Vienna through my camera lens! I still have a few more fun photos of our visit to the Prater, but today I'm focusing on St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom). The above pic was taken in the vivid setting on my Canon PowerShot. The photo below is how it actually looks. But many of us like a bit of fantasy and probably prefer the colorful image. Speaking of fantasy, it's because of the new blog that I'm featuring the cathedral. My latest post, "Making a Grand Entrance," on Wayfinders has pics of the inside of it. I also included a snippet of my debut novel when the king arrives at the Temple of Riaas.

My New Blog:

Last week I mentioned my new website and how I plan to do most of my blogging from there. Even though the website isn't quite finished, it is available for you to see along with my latest blog post, "Making a Grand Entrance." Why the new website? I'm going to be reading and reviewing less now that I'm an epic fantasy author. I can't wait to have you visit, and please let me know what you think!

The Liliput Train and My New Blog with a Linky

We visited my mom and stepdad in Vienna, during Amanda's school holiday. On one of our days, we went to the Prater and took a gentle train ride on the Liliput-Bahn through a portion of the large public park. There are lots of nice things to do at the Prater, like the Schweizerhaus Beer Garden and the Amusement Park. It was a lovely day and we were full of smiles.

Last week I mentioned my new website and how I plan to do most of my blogging from there. Even though the website isn't quite finished, it is available for you to see along with my very first blog post, "Real Life Is Like Epic Fantasy." Why the new website? I'm going to be reading and reviewing less now that I'm an epic fantasy author. I can't wait to have you visit, and please let me know what you think!

Ten Years of Blogging and What's Ahead with Linky

 

Today's photos are from our holiday in Vienna, and our visit to the Prater. It's a large public park and a portion of it has rides. Amanda went on a ride with her dad and another one on her own. She was wearing a summer dress with shorts underneath. We also spotted a group of nuns going on one of the rides! Afterward, we ate at the Schweizerhaus, a well-known restaurant and beer garden at the Prater.

***************************

Ten Years of Blogging and What's Ahead:

I began this blog when Amanda was four years old. One of my first posts was titled, Blessed to Have You in Our Life. I often shared about books we were reading. My blogging style changed over time, and Amanda grew up. She no longer does book reviews with me, but she still loves books. I wrote about Our Love of Books in 2017. The other day we were at the mall and she wanted to buy books. It was so sweet to see her purchase Nancy Drew stories. I remember reading Nancy Drew when I was a girl.

Right now I'm working on a website with my husband's help. The website is for my new journey as an author. I will do my blogging from there. Hopefully, next week it will be up and I can share it with you!
