Mama Always ~ L.A. Brown, Author

Well, it finally happened, I turned the Angel, the Jindo Gae mix blog entries into a short book. Right now it's available for pre-order on Amazon. For those of you who followed her story about getting her to her family, I hope you will be pleased with the book. For those of you who pretty much have no clue what I'm talking about, much less what on earth a Jindo Gae is, I think you'll love this. Angel was the victim of not having all of the necessary vaccinations to go to her birth land, South Korea, with her owners who are in the Army. The story follows our quest to get her back to her family who had a new duty post there, and all of the obstacles that we encountered. There are some smile/laugh moments, and a couple of sad moments in the book, but its mostly about giving back to the Military in a way that was unique to us (my family). I hope you will check it out, and if moved to, will pre-order it. Right now, the pre-order is for ebook only. The paperback will be o...

What is Hell? According to Wikipedia, hell is a place of punishment and torment in an afterlife (here's the Wiki link   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell  ). It is also described as a place that is eternal, meaning there is no end, no light at the end of the tunnel...it doesn't stop. Ever. There is talk from those who are into conspiracy theory that the largest hole drilled (14.4 meters) into the crust and beyond that is tapping into hell itself. Of course, there were many sensational news stories that came of that saying that super-sensitive microphones inserted into the bore-holes actually picked up human screams. When all was said and done, it turned out to be a hoax by a Finnish man. Scientist theorize that the core of the earth is hotter than the photosphere of the sun, which sits at 5,500 C. What they say is that the core of the Earth is 6000C, making it 500C hotter than the sun's outer surface. That's mighty hot. The inner core of the sun is roughly 15,000,...

Or so says Newton's first law. Personally? A body in motion has to stop every once in a while to take some Advil to quash the pain. Meh...such is the life of a person with a chronic pain disorder. However. That doesn't mean that everything stops. Nope. I'm still going. Just call me the Energizer Bunny. Hmm. That really doesn't work either. Okay, let's put it this way, my fingers are doing all the work. I've been going back and forth between a work-in-progress with Kay Ganley, to working on new mandalas for the next coloring book to setting up an Etsy store at the urging of some friends. There is one constant, one linking thing with all of them. I'm still relatively unknown, so my works, whether they're the actual novels I put out or the coloring book, or even the coloring sheets on Etsy, well, they get lost in the abyss of massive amounts of works out there. I looked at my coloring book, for instance. Color Me Mandala: Advanced Mandalas is at a mid...

Well, I did it. I have another book out. But its not your run of the mill, L. A. Brown book. In fact, its not even a reading book. It's a coloring book. A mandala coloring book. Right now, and that will change hopefully in the next couple of days, its in e-book form, which means if you have a touch-screen, you touch and hold the object you want to print and a pop-up will appear. If you're using the computer, a right clicky-of-the-button will bring up the print option. Either way, you can print off the mandalas to your heart's desire and color away. Now, when the coloring book itself comes out, there are pictures only printed on one side of the page, the other is blank. Why? You ask? Good question, which deserves a good answer. Because, if you use markers or sharpies in your book, there will be bleed-through to the next page (the back of the picture), which would ruin whatever is on the back of the page. All of the mandalas are hand drawn by me, there are no computer i...

Good morning, Everyone! Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I know that I'm slow in putting new material out, I apologise for that, but I'm excited about an upcoming project. I've teamed with Kay Ganley, author of Lost: It Begins to co-author a new project tentatively called Evelyn.  This book will be one that is unique in its structure. It is a group-authored book, sort of like a group-funding effort, and a work of fiction based on reality. Eleven other people have joined us in creating back stories which will be woven throughout the book. It is about one woman's life of domestic abuse (Evelyn's), and how friends from all over the world work to remove her from the situation. All of the stories are based on real-life experiences, including Evelyn's, and there are a couple of truly fictional characters in there, but back stories have been changed so that the author cannot be recognized. Because of the volatile nature of the stories, these men and wom...

I have a friend. Well, I actually have a few friends...but I regress. Hmm. Let me put this another way. We all have a friend that pulls our heartstrings. That one friend who doesn't know what their destination is, or even how on earth to get there. They're just moving one foot in front of the other, hoping to get through the next minute, hour, day, month, year. Life hasn't been fair, by any stretch of the imagination for them. They know it, and everyone around them knows it. They may joke. They may make fun of themselves or others. They may drink, smoke or take drugs. They may cut or take extreme chances, but they're trying to find something, anything that fills the emptiness they feel. That emptiness could be the result of losing a spouse, a child or a parent. It could be because of abuse, the reasons are limitless. But, they have one thing in their lives that distinguishes them from anyone else. They  have you. I'm talking to the Christians out there. I'...

Yes, sometimes its a good thing, but there are definitely times when you should be suspicious.  For instance: You have toddlers in your house. Silence is not a good thing. Silence with an occasional giggle is definitely time for alarm. Most likely you are going to walk into the next room to find: a) Powdered sugar/flour/cornstarch or some other necessary staple spread from here to breakfast, with little tiny, half naked "ghost" toddlers running, hiding and giggling up a storm. Time to break out the vacuum and bubble bath, or better yet, if its warm outside, break out the sprinkler and let them get the mess off themselves by running through it. Oh, but when whatever it is that they've gotten all over themselves is rinsed off, better break out the sunscreen...don't want sunburned "ghosts." b) Your best make-up spread all over the carpet. Of course said carpet is most likely white or light colored (might want to look into that dark brown your husband is so f...
