REVIEW

Whiskey and Sunset Nights by T.L. Anderson

Single Dad’s Series

Emotions aplenty as I read this book. I was swept in and stayed invested throughout this short heartfelt deeply moving book.

What I liked:

* Gray: such a good person, loving father, grief-stricken widow, wonderful son and brother, great friend, skilled builder ~ a man who endures and lives his life to the fullest no matter what comes his way.

* Ella: five-six year old daughter that misses her mother, is filled with love and life and joy, very active, accepting, a great character.

* Missy: The deceased wife of Gray and the best friend of Lily – a woman I admired and was sorry had died too soon. She was a bright light and enduring positive presence in more than one life.

* Lily: bookstore owner, best friend of Lily, good friend of Gray’s, friend to Grays brother and father, open and caring and giving and helpful ~ She was perfect as a person and character and love interest in this story.

* Asher: Gray’s younger brother, caterer, fun-loving, supportive ~ liked him

* Gray’s father: an anchor and safe place to land for Gray when he needed to change things after Missy died.

* The small town setting

* That there was no great drama but instead a slow warm friendship that grows into so much more.

* The way the aspect of grief was handled

* That it felt “real” and believable

* That there was a happy ending

What I didn’t like:

* That Missy died…and being reminded that too many people are taken by cancer long before they and their loved ones are ready to have them leave.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to the author and IndiePen for the ARC – This is my honest review.

EXCERPT

My dad takes a sip of his coffee, listening intently as Ella tells him about all the stops her and Uncle Ash took. Apparently, they stopped at a rest stop that had a gigantic rubber band ball in a case, and it had over 3,000 rubber bands wrapped around it. “That’s pretty neat there, kid. I bet it was fun taking all those stops with Uncle Ash. Did you see any animals while you were driving here?” Dad asks her.

“We did!” She looks at her hands, her eyebrows drawn down as she counts off her fingers. “We saw cows and pigs. Oh, and horses!”

“Don’t forget the llama,” Asher chimes in as he enters the kitchen. I glance up at him while taking a sip of my coffee and freeze mid-sip as I see who’s standing next to him. My heart races as my stomach drops out.

“Hey there, Gray.” Lily Dean stands before me.

My heart stops as I see the only other woman who can shatter me to pieces again. Something inside of me wants to let her. Seeing her makes me feel something besides numbness. Something raw and visceral.

Her brown hair hangs down her back in thick curls, and her blue eyes are hesitant as she stands off to the side of Asher with her hands clasped in front of her. She’s wearing a pair of cutoff jean shorts and a plain white T-shirt, which makes her tanned skin pop.

Asher walks over to Ella, picking her up and placing her on his shoulders. “Come on, kid, let’s go see your new room.” Without another word, they head out of the kitchen.

My dad pushes up from his seat, coffee mug still in hand. “I’m going to go help them before they cause too much chaos.” He stops next to Lily and kisses her on the cheek in a fatherly way. “It’s good to see you, Lils.”

She breaks eye contact with me to look at my dad, her gaze filled with gratitude. “Good to see you too, Mr. Pierce.”

“I told you call me Jack. You’re not the scraggly little ten year old anymore. We’re all friends here,” Dad calls out as he disappears from the room.

“Lily,” I breathe out. The last time I saw her was at Missy’s funeral. Lily and Missy were inseparable. She’d come and visit us out east every year and stay for a few weeks, and she and Missy would stay up late to catch up on gossip from back home. When she showed up to the funeral, it felt like my heart was being ripped out yet again. It was always Missy and Lily. So how am I supposed to look at her now without seeing the absence of my dead wife?

She clears her throat while shifting from one foot to the other. “I didn’t mean to intrude. I was just stopping by to drop your dad off some old truck manuals I found for him. He’s been fixing up that old 1972 Chevy parked in the garage. It needs a lot of work, but I think he’ll get it running again soon.” She’s rambling on about the truck, and all I can do is stare at her. “Anyways, so I didn’t realize you’d be here today. I mean I knew you were coming back home, but I didn’t know it was today. I better get going so you all can get settled in.” She fiddles with the hem of her shirt, a nervous habit she’s had since she was a kid.

“It’s fine. Stay for dinner with us.” My mouth blurts out the invitation before my brain can think through if this is a good idea or bad.

Her eyes widen. “Oh no, I can’t intrude. Ella needs time to get comfortable, and I’m sure she’ll want to spend time with Jack.”

Just at that moment Ella comes running into the room. “Lily, if you stay for dinner, we can have a tea party after!” She squeals with excitement as she puts her hand in Lily’s catching her off guard.

Lily looks between Ella and me. I can see the conflict written in her features as she tries to keep her distance from me, but also not let Ella down. “Oh Ells, I’d love to…”

Before she can say anything else I cut her off, “Perfect. Ell, go wash up and you can help me and Lily cook some dinner. How about hotdogs and burgers on the grill?”

She starts jumping up and down. “Yay! I’ll be right back. Don’t start without me!” she yells while running down the hall to the bathroom.

Lily doesn’t move. She bites her lip between her bottom teeth before speaking. “I don’t want to be a burden, Gray. I don’t want to replace…”

2017 : Roller Coaster Rides

“…. Why is today already December ? “

Well, I know you guys probably think the same way as pathetic as I am, maybe not that “ pathetic “ but just a confusion covered with worries. Aside the from excited feelings of having a long holiday, let’s take a second to recap this year and evaluate our goals this year — I can make sure, that every beginning of the year, some of you may write down everything that you want to achieve— because me too!

I promised at myself, a lot.. there are tons of things i want to achieved in this year, some of them are ticked out of the notes & some of them still hanging there waiting to be accomplished. The very first thing that i wrote back then is actually to lose weight which is not happening at all this year, I’m still weighed the same as last year, but i believe that i am getting taller right now haha. The second thing is to write everyday or at least as much as i can, yes this thing are ticked off from the list even though my latest entry on the diary is dated on November second. I skipped a lot of days because of my crazy schedules, i can’t write in a chaos state of mind. the third one is buy Less, buy better, & less fast fashion, it sounds kind of hard and cliché, who could resist good clothes with ‘cheap’ prices? but as i learn more deeper about behind the industry of fast fashion, their ethics, how they stole a lot of designs from designers or even a ‘small’ artist. I choose more clothes from local brands or any other ethical fashion label. Less clothes and less options surely saves your time. And my very last thing in the list which is the fourth is to grow and expand my passion, this last list is the highlight of my year, i actually writing this just for a sake of my own hobby, because later in the future i really wanted to pursue my passion to be my career, and money is not really my top list but God has different plans for me. Three months later after i wrote this ‘goal’, my very first big job is coming, then followed by the second and the rest.

For the first one, lets talk about self-care and self-love,

I don’t find this thing really important for me until i got my very first huge mental breakdown and heartbreaks. well, that sounds not so though you must be thinking, because i thought the same way too. This thing is seriously drained out my energy, days are seems so gloomy, out of motivations, and so exhausted because my mind and also my soul drowned under the mental-breakdown blanket. Each day i tried to puzzled my broken pieces of motivation, there is sometimes where your dreams that usually keeps you going didn’t help at all at this kind of state, until i realized that ‘ it’s surely okay to have a down moments, but i don’t want this problem to eat me alive ’. So i tried to focused on myself more than usual, I sorted out the things that made me down and things that made me going up. the very first thing i sorted is to ‘ dump that toxic friend out of your life ‘ this is the hardest (period), i’m that kind of persons that loves to have acquaintance with a lot of people, from there we can be partner or even close friends—but sometimes, some of them wants to know you just because they want to take advantage out of you, so do throw that one haha. next is ‘ do the things that comforts you, not only makes you happy ‘, it seems like there a thin line between those in terms of doing something, ‘comforts’ in here isn’t all about that ‘comfort zone’ but more like choosing things that makes peace with your inner self. in terms of jobs, lately i’m more selective than before, the bigger the amount of paycheck of course makes me happy, but i also have to keep in track with my sanity. If i think i couldn’t handle it, then i won’t accept it. and the last point in the list is to ‘ listen to your body more ‘, if i’m hungry then eat, if i’m tired then sleep or take some rest. as easy as that but hard to practice.

and then move on to ‘grow and expand my passion’ sections, and also how crazy & hectic to balanced your goals with the school tasks + grades.

Let's be honest, it’s so damn hard to manage the time between school works and job works, but time-management is the major key to nailed this. I’m currently freelancing as photographer and sometimes also as an illustrator & graphic designer. I’m still a ‘work-in-progress’ kind of person, I do everything that i love and eager to learn new things. Every month, there must be one to three jobs that i got averagely. Even though it’s not all a ‘big’ job, but that is totally fine, because what i enjoyed the most from the job that i got is the ‘thinking’ and ‘creative development’ process. The more I got the job it means i have a lot of space to practice — at the end, practice makes perfect!.

I studied at school from 6.30 AM to 3.00 PM ( school time in Indonesia is kinda insane ), followed by going course from 4 PM to & 7 PM, i did all of those things from Monday to Thursday, Friday are for hang-out, rest day, or meeting day with school clubs + stuffs. I do all of my works ( plus my homeworks ) starting from 8 to 11 PM, and lastly weekend are a battling day between rest day, shootings + meetings, and doing school stuffs. So that is how my days in a week goes by.

As you could see (or read), my schedules are pretty packed up, lack of sleep, and indeed for a hibernating, but those aren’t a blocking for me to dream more and work more. Sometimes i do feel tired and yes i do complain a lot too about how hard my life is, because we are all human at the end, but what makes me moving forward each day & pushed myself out of my limits is my ‘dream’, I am aware of my big dreams, and those couldn’t be reached without an effort. Slowly but sure, i will accomplished what i am writing down.

Starting this year, I built this new tumblr website with a little more sleek looks that the previous and also building my portfolio website both in wixsite & Instagram. I started to write and read more too, developing my sense & characteristics in photography and designing. Your efforts won’t back-stabbing the results.

Experience

In the very last day of June till July, I’m be able to step my feet out of this country and stayed in Australia for twelve days. The full journey is on here.

In October, i also got a chance to attend my very first fashion week ! ( another list from the goals ticked off ), I attend Jakarta Fashion Week 2018 for two days and it is surely awesome, a one of a kind experience, actually there’s still a long list of fashion week that i want to attend ( of course! ), but at least i already witnessed my eyes for being seen what an actual runaway looks like, because i usually watch it from youtube.

Support

Main thing other than plans and dreams are a strong support system, i thanked my family and my close friends for being the best people whenever i needed ( or maybe when we need each other to lean on ), I really cherish each and every of you.

* notes : I'm currently working on my book and RTW ( ready to wear ) line !

This year has been good to me yet still so far from perfection, there are a lot of flaws that should be fixed and improved next year. the hardest part of this year is to make peace with my own self, because when my mind are a constant battle ground between my expectation and reality— but all things going to be better soon. here are some of the things that i want to achieve on 2018, the list is written in proper paper unlike the 2017 wishlist that has been crumpled haha. Let's rock 2018!

Do you like chess? Let’s play chess while we talk.

Distress calls,Whether it’s to a friend, a family member or even a stranger.Someone must answer the pain and anguish the distress call entails because a distress call going unanswered for too long will eventually shatter the world around the person in need of dire care. Eventually leading them to the abyss of depression or the salvation of suicide.

Opps you shouldn’t have moved your rook there, your knight is mine.

Crazy talk, no it’s not about talking about whether earth is flat or whether bush didn’t do 9/11. Crazytalk is far more incomprehensible, when more than half of the conversation is just about saying “What?” repeatedly. Then you have crazy talk. You get this sort of hysteria from it, slowly descending into the quicksand of madness as the more you try to understand, the more you fall quicker to madness until you eventually decide not to think about it at all in order to keep your sanity. Such crazy talk makes you question your own sanity. Believe me questioning your own sanity is not fun.

Ohh trying the old Napoleon Bonaparte trick on me again? Not gonna work buddy.

Let’s talk about personalities, I ,as a person, have different sides to me. The aggressive, the strategic, the logical, the coward, and of course the social freak. All of them combined bring out the person you see everyday, but like sunlight through a triangular prism. The light can be divided into colors, and this is where each side of me comes out, shines and reflects back a color into your eyes. If I am sunlight then each side of me is a color, and I need all to be who I am.

Damn you put me in a tight spot there, I’m sure I’ll be able to slip out when I change that soldier to a queen.

Being the 1 in the million or even a billion is not something fun. Yes it means you’re special or different in a way that no one will ever be, but that’s where the good news ends. Everything else is just a sad mess of you not knowing what to do for most of the time, and you can’t get help even anonymously because of the fact that…no one has ever experienced the circumstances you’re in. I wish life was a game where there are choices to pick from because even if what I chose was wrong, I’d be comfortable that I chose something, but life isn’t a game and choices aren’t shown on a flat screen. What should I do? What can I do? Should I forget about all this? Avoiding your problems because you don’t want to face them is one thing, but trying to forget them to the point of dissociating yourself because you are afraid you might lose your sanity or life if you did is another thing entirely. Nothing about anyone’s life is perfect, people will always complain of something; however, when something poses a threat so severe to your life that it makes your so called imperfect life look as simple as opening a fridge, you begin to think and act very differently. You stop complaining and you start appreciating, but it’s too late.

You killed everything, all I have is a king and a bishop now while you have a Queen and a King.

Secrets, some we tell our friends and some we keep to ourselves because we’re afraid of getting judged or getting shameful stares or getting labeled. All we want to be is normal and conform. Some of us do find peace in their suffering by joining hands with people who were burdened by the same circumstances, people who can relate,people who know how to make you feel better and help you overcome this difficult stage in your life. Whole websites are dedicated to help such people find help, but my question is this. How can you find help if you know that the possibility of finding someone like you, someone in the same circumstances, is miniscule. Where can I get help? Where can I find guidance? Peace? Ease? Some secrets are better left unsaid. Some secrets are better left to die with its owners. Because how can I live my life if everyone traps me in a cage. I spend all my life proving myself, making a name for myself, trying to show everyone that I’m not the person they think I am, Trying to prove their judgments wrong. I work so hard for them to give me a chance. A chance for me to live my life and be something other than what they believe. In the end, they pick the easy way out and reject me because they don’t want to be associated with me. I’m surrounded. They don’t want to deal with me or my problems, and I couldn’t blame them because I would’ve done the same too. How hypocritical of me Right? I feel like I’m surrounded by my issues and there is no escape. This cage is my life that isn’t alive. I’m surrounded. I begin to question if this life is worth living anymore. I’m surrounded. Some secrets are better left unsaid. I’m surrounded. Some secrets are better left to die. Checkmate.

Bushra Azhar – Sold Out Launch

EVEN if you have taken a zillion other courses (but never finished any) EVEN if you think you have seen & done it all ( with no results) EVEN if you have 2 hours a day to work on your launch (& no budget to hire a coach,mentor, designer, *insert other useless must-have* ) EVEN if you think the internet is a dirty messy place that only favors the BIG GUNS (& you are decidedly NOT a big gun or ANY gun)

Here’s how… Consumer Psychology Knowing exactly what makes people buy and not tip-toe around your buyers for months building an email list, giving value & not making money. The idea is to ditch the advice of creating a list of subscribers and instead create a list of buyers from the get-go. More than 20% of my own email list are buyers and this is exactly what I preach in SOL..because guess what? We want people to see you as a book shopped not a library where they can get free information and never open their wallet EVER.

The 80:20 Launch Rule Using the shortest most effective path to launching so that you don’t spend hours (weeks, months…even years) planning, wondering & losing your mind. Instead you can just use this plug and play system with the tech, graphics, email, social media posts, sales page templates heck even your ads..and just transplant it in your launch. No thinking, wondering, second-guessing yourself, no needing to invest 10 grand for a coach, custom website or mastermind. Just trusting the system, taking actions that GET results and making lots of money…all in one full swoop

Functional Behavioral Leverage My unique and kinda lunatic Systematic Stalking Initiative coupled with SOL Hall of Fame tactic that allowed 92% of students to finish the course and 41% of them to launch in less than 4 months. I don’t know of any online program (heck even COACHING program) that promises such results. As one SOLer described it “It was like you were running after me urging me to get to the finish line, sometimes lovingly, sometimes fiercely..but always there” THAT is behavioral leverage and THAT is what gets people to launch and sell out in 35 days.

PLAY THE VIDEO TO FIND OUT THE BRAIN GLITCH THAT’S KEEPING YOU FROM LAUNCHING & SELLING OUT YOUR ONLINE PROGRAM (AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT) 5 SANITY-SUCKING NIGHTMARE THOUGHTS PEOPLE HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO LAUNCHING Sanity-Sucking Nightmare Thought One: “Where do I start?” “What do I do about the tech? The design? The social media?” Sanity-Sucking Nightmare Thought Two: “I need to buy this program and that system”. “I need to hire a coach and a VA and an OBM and oh ohhhhhhh…” Sanity-Sucking Nightmare Thought Three: “How do I get people to know about me?” “How do I compel them to buy?” “How do I put all the pieces together?” Sanity-Sucking Nightmare Thought Four: “I don’t want people to make fun of me” I can’t be seen failing YET AGAIN” Sanity-Sucking Nightmare Thought Five: “I am hopeless, I will never be able to do this!” “Those who do it are smarter/richer/different” Let me tell you a secret. It is not your fault! Internet experts have made launching needlessly complicated… to make matters worse people have attached a certain romanticism with the word hustle like it’s some medal to be worn by the “launchers” as the other non-hustling losers stare forlornly on. But why would they do that? If they told you that creating and launching a profitable online course can be easy, fun & effortless, who would they sell their 10,000 dollar coaching packages to? (buy now or the price goes up you sour non-hustling loser) They want you to fail….so you can keep buying.

5 TYPES OF COCKAMAMIE EXPERTS YOU SHOULD NOT BE TAKING LAUNCH ADVICE FROM The Launchy Launcher: If your only product is a product about launching, where did you learn to launch that launch program? If you have never launched a non-launch program, how come you are an expert on launching a launch? I need coffee! The Chief Expert of The Planet Internet: The one who is an expert on the internet but has zero credentials, zero expertise, zero credibility and zero relevance OUTSIDE the internet. But hey, the website is flashy and the sales page shows a picture of them with their new Merc so gotta be legit right? The Grandmaster Digital Sensei: Are you a thorough expert in everything you teach? If yes how? And can I steal your genes to clone and create other super-humans with immeasurable skills like yours? Because seriously NO human can have ALL skills needed to create, launch & sell out quality information products. The Number Flaunter: If the sole premise of your sales argument is that you made a million dollars in 10 days, that tells me nothing about what value you provide. It also tells me nothing about how you get those results (there are a lot of ways to make and some of these do make you want to throw up in your coffee) The Walking Timebomb: This is the grand poobah of the online hustle. The one who tells you that you should be working non-stop… Facebook, livestream, tweet, instagram and snapchat the hell out of your business. Sleep? Who needs sleep! That’s where I come in… The antithesis of all things internet, the slayer of BS, the basher of poopy people and the giver of zero f*ucks.

5 COMPELLING REASONS TO TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU ABOUT LAUNCHES (THE NOT-SO-MODEST EDITION) I am Bushra and I am not a hot shot (but I play that on the internet) I have worked on 25+ online launches and about a dozen offline launches of big name brands and after the first dozen, I developed a loose system of LAUNCHING that matches the launch with the psychology of the buyer. It has served me and my clients REALLY well. I have made one million dollars in about 2.5 years working mostly part time and no, I have not made this money doing launches telling people how to do launches. Here are some other results: 1. Worked with 5,000+ people 2. Sold 7,000+ courses 3. Built an email list of 32,000+ and an FB community of 14,000+ 4. Launched my first course and sold 320 packages in 2 weeks 5. Launched my membership site and sold 400 memberships in 28 days 6. Have the distinct pleasure of selling out my courses in a couple days after launch…I don’t even know why I set a cart-close day…it’s defunct! 7. Helped my client J sell out her program in THREE days and make $22,765 on her very first launch and with an email list of 1,200 people. 8. Helped my client L sell $750K worth of programs in a month 9. Have an online course with a completion rate of 92% (vs industry average of 15%) and a success rate of 41% (vs undisclosed but probably minuscule numbers)

I have no time: I am a mom of 2, wife of one and I live an expat life. Which means no support system and limited opportunities to keep the kids busy. I also cook every day. Till about 2 months ago I was balancing my online work with my offline consulting gig…so literally NO TIME DUDE! The techniques I teach are all about using the 80:20 rule…things don’t get any easier than the way I teach. I have no energy: I am incredibly lazy and prone to random Netflix binges so I am the perfect person to teach other lazyasses looking for an uncomplicated process to create, launch and SELL OUT! I have no team: It is possible to do this all on your own..I am a testament to that. I am a one person army and over the last 2.5 years, I have maybe outsourced 5% of my work. I have developed systems, formulas and checklists to allow me to work fast and work smart. You get access to all these when you invest in Sold Out Launch. (I now have a great team member but she came onboard after 2+ years of flying solo) I have no contacts: When I started I didn’t know a single soul on the internet…I started like everyone with no list (my first subscriber was “foxy5ways”…does that give you an idea of where I was) and slowly built my way to where I am…no contacts, no networking…just plain old hard work. So if you think only people with contacts or access to private networking events or “inner circle” access can make it, think again! 5 LIFE-ALTERING WAYS YOUR BUSINESS AND LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE (FOR THE BETTER) THIS IS YOU: Thousands of email subscribers, hundreds of eager buyers & a life that’s so full of joy it annoys the shit out of your neighbors THIS IS YOU: Your launch strategy, launch planning, copy, tech, graphics all DONE! THIS IS YOU: Your Facebook ads pumping new targeted traffic into your launch funnel effortlessly and gracefully….like a ballerina on rollerskates THIS IS YOU: Taking a day or a week (or a MONTH) off just because you feel like it because you have a system in place that does not require you to keep trading dollars for hours. THIS IS YOU: No more hoping, praying, dying… always winning. Every Time! How will you get there? I have a system that will get you there. It’s systematic, it’s scientific, and endlessly creative. It drags peoples’ eyeballs away from the cat videos on Facebook to YOUR ad. It gets people excited, animated positively exhilarated about your “thing” It makes the process of creating, launching and selling out your online product a BREEZE!
