Leave a review on Amazon.com and on Good Reads! I would love to hear what you think. Sonja
I am a comma fiend. I love them and use them indiscriminately. So, why does my writing have such great grammar?
I use a grammar app called Grammarly.
Part of it is free and there is premium content as well. I paid for the premium since it works better for me and keeps my writing appropriate.
This isn’t an ad, I promise. Hey, see those commas. Totally appropriate!
I also have a grammar book that I kept from college writing classes and another one I bought several years ago. But I still can’t get a handle on commas. They are my Achilles’ Heel.
I know commas should be used like salt and sprinkled conservatively. But I love them and use them like sugar in a cookie. Lots of them and blended through everything!
Go to Amazon.com and get the ebook for The Fairies of Carlow: The Gilding FREE!!!
The direct link is in the left margin of this website, or you can search for ‘Sonja Danielson’ on Amazon.com.
This is book 1 in the series. The other two ‘The Fairies of Carlow: The Outsider’ and ‘The Fairies of Carlow: The Commoner’ are also available. All three can be purchased in paperback or you can get them as an ebook.
I’m planning on the fourth book in the series, thanks to a question about Lady Zepherine. (You can meet her in ‘The Gilding’). Currently, I’m in the planning and plotting stage. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them!
I hope you enjoy ‘The Fairies of Carlow: The Gilding!’ Sonja
What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to have done by the weekend?
I guess you could call this a weekly bucket list… to do list… success list.
I have my goals: finish editing my current work in progress (WIP), write the next installment of the Guinness the Therapy Dog series, continual communication with the folks who like my books (I love to hear from them!), reach out internationally… the list is long and continually growing!
I’m also working on my lifelong learning. I’m refreshing my French and German. I’m getting my classes lined up to learn Japanese with my son (a huge leap on my part) and I’m taking some writing classes online since there’s always something new to learn and improve on.
Today is the day to thank your mom for everything she does, and has done, for you. It’s Mother’s Day in the United States and was initiated as a holiday in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis wanted to memorialize her mother.
The day is meant to honor mothers and motherhood or, as Jarvis said, because a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world”.
Mother’s Day is celebrated in more than forty countries, not all on the same date but usually in the first half of the year. There are a handful of countries that celebrate mothers and mothering in the last quarter of the year (October-November-December).
In the United States, carnations are meant to be given. White carnations remember a mom who has passed, and colored carnations thank those who are living.
Jarvis, the creator of the holiday, lamented how commercialized it became, and protested at a candy makers convention in 1923 and at a meeting of the American War Mothers in 1925 when they sold carnations as a fundraiser.
There are some who even credit commercialization (especially by the floral industry) with keeping the holiday current and not allowing it to fade away.

Go to Amazon.com to buy these titles as either a paperback or an ebook.
I arranged for special pricing on these two ebooks.
The sale on the Guinness the Therapy Dog book ended yesterday, I hope you were able to grab a copy with the lower price!
The sale on The Voyage ends late on May 9. If you are interested in this nonfiction account of one man’s search for an end to persecution in the 1600s, then this is your book. It is written as an easy reader and has wonderful illustrations.
This book should be especially interesting to members of the Wing Family of America, as it chronicles the life of Reverend John Wing in England and Europe.
I hope you enjoy these special prices, and the ebooks! Sonja
