Next Week on the ABTS Podcast: Author Bian Cara was nearly trafficked at a young age because of some poor family decisions. Did you know that I've been writing for many years? That's right, I've had This Blog, All Along My blog originally started in 2010 after watching the movie "Julie and Julia" which resulted in a burst of creativity, an overwhelming sense of inspiration, and a solid commitment to write a blog a day for at least one year. Of course there were a couple of days that I had to skip, but that the end of 365 days, I had written 365 blogs! Some of them have since become content for some of my books, but the blog is FREE to read. Why not head on over and see if you find something you like? I'd suggest starting with THIS one. I do also have a new blog if you find yourself looking for something more recent. Check out this one if you like. Check out the ancient blog! Coming up next weekend, I will be Speaking at a Church. It's coming up fast, and I'm hoping I might be able to get someone to either live stream or video the event for social media. (All my links are at the bottom, you're welcome to follow me so you can watch it live). The event is FREE to those who would like to come, but I'll be talking about what it means to be a survivor, how I overcame the trauma, why I wrote the book, and who I am today. My only hope is that I'm able to offer comfort and hope to someone else who has gone through similar trauma, or to someone currently going through it now. If you're able to come, please do.
