    How’d it go? you ask. I’d have to say very well. I talked to a lot of people, tried eight different ways of summarizing PERFECTLY HONEST, AND handed out more CPR key chains (the world’s a safer place).

  • Author Spotlight – C.D. Hersh!

    I’d like to welcome authors C.D. Hersh today. They are a husband and wife duo and fellow Soul Mate Publishing authors!

    cd hershMeet Catherine and Donald ~Putting words and stories on paper is second nature to co-authors C.D. Hersh. They’ve written separately since they were teenagers and discovered their unique, collaborative abilities in the mid-90s. As high school sweethearts and husband and wife, Catherine and Donald believe in true love and happily ever after.

    Together they have co-authored a number of dramas, six which have been produced in Ohio, where they live. Their interactive Christmas production had five seasonal runs in their hometown and has been sold in Virginia, California, and Ohio. Their most recent collaborative writing efforts have been focused on romance. The first three books of their paranormal romance series entitled The Turning Stone Chronicles are available on Amazon.
    Double the success together 😀 What song would be your theme song? The theme song that describes our relationship would be the golden oldie “Side By Side” sung by Pat & Shirley Boone. You can hear it HERE.

    Lovely! What would you pick as a superpower? Donald would want to fly like superman, not like some of our characters who have to change into hawks. Catherine would like super speed so she could clean the house really quick.

    I like that – it would leave more time for writing! What’s your favorite dessert? Watermelon for Donald, chocolate anything for Catherine.

    Yum! Catherine and Donald, can you tell us how you planned your series, The Turning Stone Chronicles? CD: We are sure there are many other ways to go about this process. This is working for us.

    My life is filled with love and laughter thanks to the amazing people I get to hang out with. As well as being awesome, they’re creative, talented, generous, and fun! I thought you might like to meet them so I’ve asked them to come and give us a behind-the-scenes look at what they’re passionate about. I have to warn you though – creativity is contagious!

    My guest today is Lin Arthur, compassionate and caring pediatric physiotherapist! Lin’s dedication and extensive experience are invaluable to children and families coping with developmental disabilities.

    smudge chalk girlsLin, how did you become interested in working with children in the field of physiotherapy? L: When I was a physiotherapy student, I did a summer internship at Sick Kids in Toronto on the neurosurgical unit. I loved working with the kids and part of that work included outpatient treatment for children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, spina bifida and muscular dystrophy. I really enjoyed that population and after graduation, decided to focus my career on treatment for children with developmental disabilities. Working with infants is my favourite!
