      Ahhh… Is it real? Did the “monstrosity” of a year up and leave? Yeah? Fabulous. Look what it left behind, though. I won’t dwell on the stinking year we’ve escaped from because we’ve had to deal with 2020 both individually and as a whole. Have we truly escaped? Sigh. For me, I’ve had almost a full year of illness. I’m glad to report I have improved with help from two of my likeable doctors. However, improved isn’t completely well. The problem hasn’t been solved yet. I still have ups and downs from one day to the next. But hey…

      I published a book this year when I thought I’d never see the day come, yet it should’ve been more than one book. I’ll get there. I’m thankful for the one I did get out in the nick of time. And, ta-dah… I’m using WordPress Blocks now.😉

      Sooo…

      Can we all think positive? It’s great for a healthy frame of mind.

      We as a whole will see better days. I feel it in my bones.

      I sent a text to my boys and daughter-in-law at a little past midnight, saying I’m glad we all get to see a new year arrive. The same to you, friends and those of you who happen by. I’m happy you’re here with me to welcome a brand-new year.

      Cheers to a healthy and happy 2021. ~Mary

    • Guest Post: Thistledown – Midsummer Bedlam by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene #Fairy #Fantasy New Release

      Posted at 12:58 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on December 24, 2019

      H, folks! I have a guest for you today to share in her new book release! Some of you will know Teagan @teagangeneviene from her blog at Teagan’s Books, but if you’re new here, or to Teagan, I invite you to check out the work from a creative and talented writer. Read on…


       

      Thistledown — Midsummer Bedlam is ready to fly to your shelves!

      Thistledown — Midsummer Bedlam by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene is now available in book form (Kindle and paperback). If you think you’re too old for a tale about faeries, it also has a dark side. For those who read the serial version at Teagan’s Books (blog), she added a little something to the ending that you haven’t seen.

      Mary, thanks so much for hosting the launch of my launch of Thistledown — Midsummer Bedlam. It is a tale of faeries written for whimsical grownups, but suitable for children of all ages.

      You’re very welcome, Teagan.

      In 2017, readers of my blog, Teagan’s Books, named many of the fairies (or faeries, as I prefer to call them) — or they let me make up names in their honor. The characters are not based on the real people. They are just a way for me to honor the people who followed Thistledown. Mary, I remember that you had a faery name ready when I asked. So, I want to introduce “Calico Rainbowforest” to your readers.

      In writing this story, I thought about how ordinary things might be different for faeries. I created their unique and whimsical means of communicating. One of those was the Thistledown Daily Trumpet. It’s a newspaper and Calico Rainbow forest is the managing editor. She also wears some really cool-looking spectacles. Bedlam Thunder, the heroine, learns that she has more in common with Calico than she expected.

      Here’s the Book Blurb

      Thistledown ― Midsummer Bedlam, by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene is a wildly whimsical tale of faeries. It was originally written for a grownup audience, but it is suitable for children ages eight and over.

      Thistledown is a world of color and light. It has faeries, hummingbirds, and ancient books of magic. Bedlam Thunder is a misfit faery who is afraid of heights. She is also a seer who has terrible visions of a parallel world devoid of color and brightness. The hate and darkness of that colorless world is seeping into Thistledown. Will Bedlam and her friends be able to save their home?

      Thistledown ― Midsummer Bedlam, with its radiant creatures and faeries will lift your imagination to new heights.
