Well, It's been quite a while since you last heard from me!

I just realized that I actually get pretty consistent traffic on this site, even if only a bit. I am amazed at this!

So I figured I owed you guys a quick update about my life!

Now, it's 3AM and I'm a fool for not sleeping right now - I NEED Sleep, but it's quiet in the house and therefore easier to think.

Nevertheless, I'm gonna make this quick, because - Like I said, I need sleep.

I am currently the Mama of a beautiful baby boy named Joseph! [Pictured above] He is 4 Months old now and is totally Awesome! Seriously, I took a baby personality quiz (for fun) and his results were a tie between "Angel Baby" and "Textbook Baby" - I have an awesome son. :)

I also have gained 2 foster sons - a 12 year old, Nate, and a 4 year old - Aiden. Nate came when Joseph was 1.5 Months old, and Aiden came when Joseph was about 3.5 months old (Nathen and Aiden are brothers). These boys are a bit more difficult than Joseph - but each is awesome in his own right.

So - In less than 4 months I essentially became the mother of 3 boys! For how long? No clue - but I tell you it is overwhelming at times!

I've learned a lot in the past year - and overcome a lot of personal obstacles (with many more to come!). If I can give birth (without an epidural even! - though I did get one dose of diladin) - What else can I do, that I never dared dream before?

Thank God for His Grace! Otherwise I'd be a dead woman right now. lol 

So life is hectic but I'm starting to gain back a desire for writing.

I also want to encourage you to check out a new site that I'm building: The Virtuous Revolution - I'm hoping for it to become an online community and resource for women who want to be Proverbs 31 Women - Virtuous and Powerful in Christ! Please Check it out!

Well, for now I think that's all, I really need to get to bed! 

In Christ,

Dear Readers,

If you're on this site as a casual observer, let me let you in on a secret: I'm a newly published Author! (eBook) Though you probably already knew I was an author from the rest of the page, you may not have known that I'm new. So that's the big secret.

If you're one of my readers, This post is essentially for you. I need your help.

My recently published book, Beauty For Ashes, isn't being noticed very much since the free promotion ended. Because of this, it's gotten to the point where it's so low on the list on amazon.com (less and less people are getting it, which places it lower on the list), that no one is finding it unless they're searching for it specifically. I'm pretty sure that most people who would search for it specifically already have, and I want to get the book out there more. That's why I'm asking for your help. I know the best kind of "advertisement" is word of mouth. So if you already have the book and have enjoyed it, suggest it for a friend. If you don't have it yet, check it out and see what you think. I'm an unknown author, no one is searching for my name unless they know me personally. The main way people will get to know my work is if my readers suggest it.

Also, if you've read it already, I would encourage you to write a customer review. Good or bad. It's an unknown book by an unknown author - no one knows what to expect unless there are customer reviews to be read to help them form an opinion. 

Oh, and just a teaser: I'm cooking up the next book, only this one isn't going to be poetry, it's gonna be something like a Christian Sci-Fi. I can't tell you much more, except this: If God gave you the opportunity to explore the depths of your heart and mind as if they were a whole world within you, what do you think you'd find? What would you try to hide? ...And would you make it out alive?

Alright everybody, that's all I had to say, stay tuned for updates on that new book! And be sure to let me know what you think of Beauty For Ashes. I can tell you this much... this whole thing is so not my idea, so if you like it - look up (way beyond the sky, fyi). This is one of those God things. ;)

With Love In Christ,

Alexandria M.K. Piche
