Hera, Goddess of Family is among us as a talented midwife. Maxine is pregnant, but not alone. Entering Hera's office with two men at her side, Hera's happy for Maxine, but worried about her own reaction to the men. After eons of being humilated by Zeus' infideltites, she is now divorced and determined to never be treated to anything less than the respect she knows in her blood she's entitled to...but what now?

Muse Cover Art Goddess, Delilah K. Stephans, and edited by

Ghosts? Memories? Imaginations? What is propelling

Pamela to revisit the

horrible shack she grew up in and could not get away from fast enough?

And, now that she's here, is the mansion, the one she was never allowed to enter, sending out the force of the wind to drag her, no matter what, up its steps into an aguish still reeking from its walls?

Beyond Yesterday, by me, L.J. Holmes is coming your way from the

Muse It Up Side of Muse Publishing Inc, with it's cover done by the incomparable Cover Art Goddess,

Delilah K. Stephans and edited by

Carrie Ro and

Antonia Tiranth. CLICK HERE to follow it to it's Muse Bookstore page.

All royalites from the sale of Beyond Yesterday through December 31, 2011 will be donated to THE PROVIDENCE HOUSE, a women's shelter in Willingboro, NJ.

In the 1980's The Providence House helped me leave a violent federal agent, and helped my children and I create a life free from watching the clock on the wall inch its way towards 6:00 and another night of pain, fear and blood.

The Providence House made the life my daughter and I live today possible. This is my very small way of thanking them back.

UNALIVE By Cyrus Keith AND MY FIRST EVER NON-PROMO PROMO

My guest today is a very dear man, Cyrus Keith, and it is with pride and tremendous appreciation and love that I turn my blogspot over to Cyrus.

Welcome My Muse Brother.

If it's okay, I'd like to not promote my work. Of course, I'd like you to buy my books, and I'm even giving away a copy of

Unalive, my latest novel from MuseItUp Publishing. But let's pretend for a moment that I'm not just here to sell books. I feel like one of those used-car schmucks who corners you in the parking lot and waves a pen under your nose while he keeps harping about signing over your dog for "this little beauty in the corner." So I won't sit here and tell you why you should buy my book.

What I really want is for you to read the story. I want you to think about the concept of identity and what makes a person who (or what) he or she is. Does humanity qualify someone as a person? What would the legal definition be? If a person is made by man and not by God, does that person have a soul? What moral compass would such a person have? What awareness of right and wrong?

I'd also like you to read it and think about how many people around you just wander through life. They get up, go to work, come home, go to bed, and the next day they do it all over again. They can't see the magic of a

sunrise, the beauty of dew on a spider's web. They never hear the music of a city at night, or feel the magic moment that passes over the world at the precise moment the sun goes down, that infinitely deep hush that opens the door to another world, just for a split second before dark sets in.

We get moments every day that, were we to stop and soak them in, would take our breath away. We complain about the cold in the winter, and six months later we complain about the heat. The glare of the sunlight makes us blind, or the dark of the night limits our vision. But can we see

a million diamonds on the ground as the snow crunches beneath our feet? What about the majesty of a thunderstorm? Or even yet, when the three-year-old wants you to read Timothy Mouse Goes to Sea one more time, do you say, "Okay, just a minute," and keep watching television instead?

The point I'm trying to make is that so many people, myself often included, take most of our lives for granted, often not even taking the time to appreciate the moments that slide by, aching to take our breath away. It's easy to appreciate that first plunge on the new roller coaster. We sat rapt in front of our television watching Neal Armstrong take one giant leap for Mankind. I missed my oldest son's first public performance in an elementary school variety show. I did learn in time to catch each golden moment that my baby daughter fell asleep on my chest. Every night I tell my kids I love them. Every morning I kiss my wife goodbye and tell her the same thing. I savor her lips long after I've pulled out of the driveway.

Our lives are filled with golden moments. It's up to us to make each one count, even if it's only to pause long enough to take a deep breath and greet it as it flies by, on its way to our past. Because once it's there, we can't dig it out and live it again. It's only a memory, and memories just aren’t the same.

And thank you for sharing your beautiful words with us here on my blog, Cyrus...before I end this, Kat and Chris, Mom loves you both. Lea, Litsa, Karen, Dee, Tir, Cyrus, Gail, Nancy, Chris, Tanja, Ginger, Penny, and all my Muse Family, I love you too.

THE PARADE OF THE GODS COMING TO WORK AMONGST US

Before I get into the succulent

meat of this posting,

the names and

conflicts facing the Incredibly ingenious

mind

Kat Holmes created for them, I have decided to give in to the

pressure everyone has sent my way concerning

the creation of my OWN

Muse Goddess Image.

I think it is a bit vain for me to do this, and I probably have a lot of

hubris, but the urgings of my brother and sister

Musers has finally

sunk in.

So I give you Lin Holmes, AKA L.J. Holmes, and MY Goddess Designation...From today onward I am

Muse's Goddess of Dreams Still Coming.
