Isis Sousa's Blog: Tragic Books' news - Posts Tagged "back"

I had great plans for this summer, such as wrap up the ART COLLAB book I have been working on for one and a half year, painting some personal stuff, promoting my newly baked short story and enjoying my time home with my husband…

Instead I had a horrible July, being sick most of the month, specially during its’ second-half. On top of that, on the very last day of that month, my dear father had a heart attack, which almost killed him.

With that said, I had to cancel some client contracts, summon forces and travel to Brazil ASAP, to help and support my family and be together with my father as much as I could. (He is much better now, but his health is very delicated and my family and I live with the possibility that the “worse” can still happen.)

After the hardship, I am back home, not so well psychologically, but ready to retake professional activities… And perhaps, paint something new…

Now, I hope to wrap up for once and for all the Art Collab book, which counts with so many great guest artists and share this one of a kind work with YOU.

After the horrible sight problems, my vision is back to normal and I will now catch up with the messages and activities on GoodReads!

I am also finishing some of the pending reviews I have on my list! :)

Must share the great news that now I am handling my short story anthology over to a professional editor in England. The full anthology "Stories of Duskland" is coming in March, 2014.

It is no secret I have been very little social for the past 6-8 months. Two life-changing events happened last year, leaving deep scars within my family and me. We had four injured and one loss. After being down to the ground, gaining a few extra kilos of depression and living in the darker side of life, time and self-realization have helped/are helping me heal.

As the old saying goes… What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.

I am back, and glad to be around GoodReads again!

Speaking of which…

I’m about to record a final video talking about “The Night of ElisaThe Night of Elisa” and thought about the possibility of answering YOUR questions in the video – if you have some.

Whether you have read the book or consider reading it, shoot your questions to my author’s Q&A session here on GoodReads, or leave a comment in this post. Feel also free to send me a private message. I won’t reveal any names in the video, so all those who participate will have their identities preserved.

If I have any questions by the time to record the video, I will do my best to answer you :) And I will post a link here to let everybody know when it is online at Tragic Books' Youtube Channel.

Cheers and have a great time, folks! :)
