Shining the Light on Author and Blogger, Sally Cronin! #WritingCommunity #IARTG @sgc58

Uncategorized

25 Oct

This week I was overjoyed and humbled to have my work and my passion featured on Sally Cronin’s website under her daily post “Smorgasbord Cafe and Bookstore – Meet the Authors.” 

Sally generously shared my book of poetry The Heart’s Lullaby along with a lovely review and links to my social media profiles. I was also delighted to see my work featured alongside fellow authors, James J. Cudney and Stevie Turner.

Sally is an accomplished author and one of the most generous and kind souls I’ve had the privilege to connect with. I encourage all readers, authors, and bloggers to visit her website, as you’ll quickly see just how amazing and incredibly supportive she is.

As a writer, Sally knows how important it is to have help in marketing books. In her own words, “As important as my own promotion is, I believe it is important to support others.” She offers a number of FREE promotional opportunities on her blog that is linked to her social media.

♥

See how remarkable she is?! It’s with a grateful heart that I shine the light on her today.


Author and Blogger ~ Sally Cronin

To date, Sally has published fourteen books. Her most recent book, Life’s Rich Tapestry: Woven in Words was published on December 1, 2019, and has garnered fabulous reviews.


Life’s Rich Tapestry: Woven in Words


♥

I’ll be reading this volume soon as I absolutely loved What’s In a Name – Colourful Tales Volume One.

If I may, I’d love to share my review of What’s In a Name – Colourful Tales Volume One, a beautiful collection of short stories.

♥

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A highly recommended read. This is a gift for the soul.

What’s in a Name – Colourful Tales Volume One by Sally Cronin is an absolute gem of a book. Cronin is a gifted storyteller, and readers are sure to be moved and intrigued by this collection that was inspired by real-life occurrences. These are stories that will move you and stay with you long after you finish. I read through this collection in one day and have revisited it many times since. A book so enticing is a true testament to the skill of an author. To keep a book near, allowing one to relish in the many emotions it is sure to evoke, ultimately speaks to the treasures held within.

The characters come to life, and it’s impossible not to think of similar people we have met along our own journeys. I laughed and cried, found solace in heartfelt reflection.

A highly recommended read. This is a gift for the soul.

      It certainly is, Sally. It’s flying by. Uni is really good this year, but busy. I am right in the middle of the first round of essays and snowed under, and frustrated that I can’t do half of the study that I want to do, even though I know it’s so much more than my young colleagues will be doing! I’m sure they’re not stressing over it though. Remind me again why I decided to do this… 😂😂😂 Hope all is well with you. Happy Halloween to You! Xxx

        Happy to remind you Ali that with your degree and your books to date, you will have built an amazing platform to launch future books and take advantage of many more opportunities available to someone with your qualifications. Tough with a family and commitments but we are so proud of you. And if you haven’t got time to post then let me share some of your early posts in my archive series so that you have something going out every week. hugs xx

Natalie Ducey

As a multi-passionate creator my heart is rooted in storytelling, self-expression, and soulful connection. I’m a writer of poetry that journeys the deep emotional landscapes of life—the vulnerability and valour of the soul.
My creativity extends beyond the page. I love creating soothing, sweet melodic melodies. Where the silence between the notes soothes the soul, and the tenor and tone seem to transcend time. I find comfort and joy in the art of crochet, and the free artistic expression of graphic design—each medium offering a unique way to inspire, uplift, and connect with others on their own creative journeys.
Nature is my sanctuary. In its tranquil beauty and quiet wisdom, I find restoration, reflection, and a deeper connection to the soul. It’s where I return to breathe, to listen, and to simply be.
This space is a celebration of creativity in all its forms. Creativity, for me, is more than expression—it is transformation. It is how we return to ourselves. Whether you’ve arrived here for a spark of inspiration, a moment of peace, or a sense of belonging—I welcome you!
