Zelly Jordan The first mystery would be how on earth I didn’t see this question until now?!
My sincere apologies.

But the mystery of my life would be all the genealogy/family tree missing information that I would dearly love to discover and explore.

Thanks for the question.
Zelly Jordan Not lately. Still working on my third. I’m okay, just trying to cope with this insane world. Hope you are well and healthy?
Zelly Jordan Upon waking, I discovered that not only had I run out of instant coffee but there was not a single coffee pod in the entire house! No pods, no grains, no expresso, NO SANITY!
Zelly Jordan It's not fictional but I'm sure there's plenty of books on the matter or set in that world that I'm not aware of. If I could travel to any world in a book I'd travel to the creation time of Stonehenge so I could learn how they built it....and WHO built it!! Such a fascinating time and place it would be.
Zelly Jordan Not many as summer won't start until December and I've been very busy writing till now. However, I am going to add a few classics to my list.
Zelly Jordan Hi Michelle. Lucky you to live in Canada. Lucky me to be in Australia.....hey we are competing in the commonwealth games right now.....but that's besides the point. Can you email me and we can organise this? I'm okay with sending it to Canada and maybe you can help me too. I'll need your details so it's better if we email each other. zellyjordan@gmail.com
Zelly Jordan You've read it already! You bought the ebook already? Awww how kind. I was in the middle of composing an email to you and had to hop on here to get your email address.lol. Hey, I'm not worried that I won't enjoy your book, it looks great! I'm gonna finish that email now.
Zelly Jordan No, sorry Hun. I haven't done that yet. Because it was my very first book and I self published through a company, it's on Print on Demand. So a paperback and an ebook version.I'm told that ordering it from Xlibris.com is really cheap on postage and super fast. One of my friends in narre warren and another in Newcastle both said it took only 3/4 days. Not sure if Amazon is that fast.
Zelly Jordan Hey there Alleesia! I'm out past craigieburn. How nice to meet you! My next book is already written, plus part of the third (sequels to Fractured).,I'm just starting the whole editing process on book two now. And yes, in a way, the story does encroach into my life - especially when my characters are talking in my head, late at night when I'm trying to sleep. They tend to come out and yammer in my head late at night so I end up tired most of the time. Lol. But it's good when that happens because it's usually the most creative times too. To seperate it as much as I can, I try to immerse myself into someone else's story for a while, whether it's a tv show or a book or movie - something to step out of "my world" . That helps me a lot. I also meditate often so I find that to be useful. And socialising with friends - having a coffee with the girls helps clear my head. The story does weave itself into my daily life - I find myself imagining how my characters would behave or react in situations or something that happens inspires a story thread. It's fun, I must admit.
Zelly Jordan With coffee... Loads of coffee......and grumbles and groans. A few self-talks, some prayers to my guardian angels and a fair bit of insomnia.
Zelly Jordan Dictating my own work schedule and living inside my imagination,
Zelly Jordan Just give it a go. I did. It was something I'd always wanted to try but constantly found excuses to avoid. Until circumstances forced me to be at home and I thought - you've got the time now...just do it. I needed an outlet for myself as I was going crazy at home and it was a way of using some energy. What a blessing it turned out to be.
Zelly Jordan Editing Book Two of the Unbreakable Series. ! And learning how to promote myself (nowhere near as fun)
Zelly Jordan From many things - a certain thought or song. But especially when my characters start talking in my head - that's when it's the most fun for me to write.
Zelly Jordan From a favourite television show and wondering what it would be like if you had no recollection of people and events around you.
