What the hell just happened?

Today has been a bad combination of a Seinfeld episode and Lethal Weapon.

Bombs, crazy people, and a woman who can’t stop making friends with the people trying to kill her.

I’m not sure what to make of this beautiful disaster.

Other than the fact that I’m insanely attracted to her.

And one other small problem.

I’ve already slept with her.

I’m doing the best I can to protect her, but some women are too strong-willed to really be controlled.

I’m not sure how this job ends—

or if we’ll even make it to tomorrow.

I just hope something about this job makes sense by the time it’s over.









I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

{Book Blast} AN EYE FOR THE HIGHEST AND BEST by Dr. Nancy-Angel Doetzel

1 comment     
categories: ,



This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Dr. Nancy-Angel Doetzel will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

Living in this world of such disruption and uncertainty can result in us facing despair. How can we attune to the rainbow after a storm, and create hope and happiness? How do we develop an eye for the Highest and Best, when faced with what appears to be the worst? What steps should we take to reconnect with our ability to be resilient?

In this book, Dr. Doetzel shares some important insights gained from her own experiences of teaching university, battling cancer, being a journalist, travelling worldwide, dealing with grief, and facing the global pandemic. Along the way, she introduces her readers to fresh ways of viewing their lives, by applying an Appreciative Inquiry lens that inspires the practice of a more conscious way of living, resulting in discovering serenity.

Readers may start to re-examine their own challenges, while discovering their own gems that warrant gratitude. The reflective questions and stories suggest ways of removing blocks to happiness and constructing healthier relationships.

The book is also an ideal tool for educators to apply to teaching Appreciative Inquiry as a qualitative research methodology.

Read an Excerpt

As she was eating, a young aboriginal child suddenly came running towards her to offer her a candy. Perhaps the child sensed she had been upset. Angel learned that he and his parents, who were all travelling together to take this young boy to a hospital for special care, had also missed the plane.

Angel’s perspective was already starting to shift as she re-visited her own circumstances through the heart -centered eyes of a child.

What’s your name? she asked him.

“My name is Sunny”, he replied. “I’m going to the hospital to have an operation. I might be going to live with the Angels soon. I have a hole in my heart, and mommy says I’m very sick, and says I may need a heart transplant soon, to stay alive.”

As Angel stared into the dark-skinned child’s piercing brown eyes, she became mesmerized by the light and joyfulness that they exuded. He was very happy and fearless. Then he lifted his shirt and showed Angel a jagged scar from a recent heart surgery.

𝙈𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙢𝙮 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚, 𝙢𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙮.

𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲.

For centuries this has been the drive for humans to lie, murder, cheat, and steal, and The Nectar is the biggest fortune of them all. An object which can change the dynamics between fae and human, save lives, and gives humans fae qualities. 

Tracking down Katrina in the ancient dragon caves, Croygen and Kat sink deeper into greed and betrayal from foes who have been hiding in the shadows—-nightmares from the past who still haunt Croygen.


When the nectar slips through their fingers, their chase takes them to the destitute streets of Budapest, where the divide between humans and fae is brewing, and leads Katrina to an old childhood friend. Someone who would have fought the world and would have killed any enemy for her.


Now 𝙨𝙝𝙚 is the enemy.


Choosing between love and her soul, Katrina will make the ultimate choice that will change all of their lives forever, setting a domino effect into the future.


But you should know never to trust a pirate. They seek revenge, battle for vengeance, and kill with cruelty.


Puss and her Pirate will ride the seas and hunt those who have betrayed them. 


Yo Ho. Welcome to the world of scavengers and cutthroats.
