R-r-roar!
I’m an Indie author, hear me r-r-roar!
I’m resilient
I’m invincible
I’m an indie author
(Inspired by “I am Woman,” a song written by Helen Reddy and released in 1972)
The onset of the New Year has granted me reason to roar:
'An Enlightening Quiche,' in the category of Contemporary Women’s Fiction, is one of the judges’ finalists in the 2018 Golden Book Award contest. Anyone who has read my book, or any one of the featured finalists, you’re welcome to add a comment in contribution to the “Readers’ Choice Award” contest.

A recent review for 'An Enlightening Quiche' was published in January’s issue of Indie Publishing News, Issue 20.
An excerpt:
Most writers put words together in an attempt to create an understandable story. Few writers are considered artists who bombard the pages with vivid colors of vocabulary. Eva Pasco is an artist. Her book, “An Enlightening Quiche,” is a gallery in a novel.

I’m looking forward to an upcoming interview conducted by speculative fiction author Bryan Aiello via his “Stories on Creativity” podcast on January 19th @ 8 PM EST.

Hear my r-r-roar for laying the foundation of my WIP in the genre of Contemporary, 'Aida’s Fishing Ground!' Having written the prologue, I’m underway with chapter 1.
May every Indie author have something to roar about to stave the anguish over sluggish, sporadic, or stagnant book sales.
Eva’s Byte #312 – Monumental Tasks
Some of the pinnacles I had reached throughout my childhood and adolescence in the Sixties pertained to landmarks my family visited during our summer road trips. One of those monumental tasks involved climbing 354 stairs, the equivalent of 20 floors, to reach the crown on the Statue of Liberty.
Although she has a 35-foot waistline, I don’t know how my family and all of the other tourists ahead of and behind us managed the pilgrimage along its narrow, twisting staircase to the crown. It was a hot August day and everyone sweated profusely. For a fact, temperatures inside the Lady’s infrastructure may be up to 20 degrees warmer than outside.
Once inside the crown, you’re able to view New York Harbor by peering through 25 windows. To this day, all I remember is the relentless climb and wanting to get out of there.
Alas, when we come of age, our monumental tasks signify upward climbs taking place at ground level. The usual yada yadas range anywhere from the pesky to profound. Physically, mentally, emotionally—or literally.
In the capacity of a writer, my monumental task is literally wrapping up Part 4 of my Contemporary work in progress. Journeying miles away from Chapter 68, I’ve begun drafting Chapter 73. It’s the final chapter before moving on to Part 5 for the novel’s conclusion. I’m in the midst of tying up a few loose ends without it reading like the summary of a book report.
A crowning glory!
Picking up where I left off at 307 words in my on-screen manuscript, things are coming into view from the pinnacle of my desk chair.
*Whatever your monumental task, may you see your way clear along the uphill climb.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
