I'm growing in my world of writing. A Healing Heart; A Spiritual Renewal was published in 2006 by PublishAmerica. February 7, 2009, I did a speaking engagement about my spiritual changes written from my book for the Magnificat, which is a Catholic Woman's Ministry. I spoke for an hour and fifteen minutes to 150 women and Fr. Randall at the Providence Marriott Hotel, Providence, Rhode Island.
I've been asked to speak at their Boston Chapter on December 12, 2009, at the Marian Community in Medway, MA.
A Healing Heart received the Reviewers Choice Award 2008 Semi-Finalist for memoirs. It was presented by Reader Views of Austin, Texas.
June 19, 2009 my memoir, Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round; An Alcoholic Family in Crisis was released by Infinity Publishing. It's about my life living with and losing my husband, Richard Lopes of North Dighton, MA, in 1985 at 45 years of age from this demon.
I'm completing the sequel to this book, Please, God, Not Two; This Killer Called Alcoholism. It's a continuation of our lives following our daughter, Lori Cahill, taking the same path as her father. At the young age of 39, and being admitted three times to a rehabilitation center, she died from the same killer.
I'm also an instructor for Beginning Writer's Workshops, titled "Bring Your Manuscript to Publication." There no greater joy than to help a writer open the doors to learn how to get their manuscript published.
I'm available to present a private or public speaking engagement on my "Spiritual Renewal" from my memoir A Healing Heart or my life living fourteen years in an alcoholic family at any organization, business, rehabilitation centers, Al-Anon, schools or any event.
