When young mother Niamh Farrell's husband disappears, feared drowned, she is forced to abscond from her clan in the West of Ireland. She understands men and she believes she can handle any situation that arises. Nothing will prepare her for an encounter with a man who turns up at her door in Maryborough, Queensland asking for a work of art!A story about a young woman on a quest for love that makes her femininity and confidence grow as she learns about freedom, clan, faithfulness and how to act courageously in the face of disaster. Above all, her quest to find love knows no bounds and having two toddlers to take with her is not an obstacle for our valiant protagonist.The bottom line is: can she find true love twice? I recently purchased new Photoshop Software, Elements 2021 and a second-hand Cintiq (Wacom). The picture on my profile is the first picture completed using these software products.I had unpublished this version of Runaway Princesses because of Kindle Unlimited rules (publish with Amazon only for 90 days and renew etc). I have now finished this process for the moment.It is very difficult for Indie authors to nagitate through all the pros and cons of different publishers online.

Unfortunately these products have not cooperated together over the years, making life a little more disturbing for Indie digital artists.I hope it is a better product now to enjoy. As an Indie author and graphic artist, I do all this just for you, dear reader and those I call my followers. Thank you.

With my 70th birthday pending, it was the first answer that came to my head. However, it was a bit of a shock to hear someone asking me such a thing as a stranger perceiving me as "so intelligent!"When we consider our lives, experiences, opportunities and setbacks, and take time out to ponder our way forward, we must see that our lives are a living organism shaping from day to day, adding and subtracting items of interest and value, to bring about the sum total of our comprehended being.Looking back over my long existence, I have learned a lot, and possibly forgotten more than I have retained. After all, our brain is a...
