Welcome back to House of Bee Sting!
As I said in June 2007, dreams do come true!
At that time I had already been writing for many years, and I’d been sharing some of what I’d written with a handful of people in a somewhat informal way. I always appreciated having others on the receiving end of my work, and I’m deeply grateful for their encouragement to do more.
But even I didn’t know what “more” entailed, until my special project, House of Bee Sting, took shape and evolved overnight as if by magic in 2007.
House of Bee Sting is the physical manifestation of special dreams and special gifts. It’s a combination of the influences of several people and some of the things I have learnt and been exposed to over the years, in various disciplines, including psychology, metaphysics, and business, and has culminated in a showcase for the variety of things I’ve put on paper. It’s also testament to what can happen when one is inspired, and when one finds one’s passion and acts on it. One’s world opens up to the infinite possibilities in life, and dreams do indeed come true.
We live in ever more challenging times, and we need to use all means at our disposal to navigate our way through life in healthy, constructive, rich ways; to bring hope, peace, love and harmony back into our lives; and to have some of life’s richest human experiences.
The wonderful story about the baseball field and that wonderful quote “Build it and they will come” resonates completely with this author. Because I created a hub on which to share whatever I wrote, I found even more reason to look for inspiration in all of life’s experiences, and it’s been fantastic! I have watched the written word spread far and wide with little effort from my side. I have listened when people have told me what impact some of my work has had on them. And I am delighted.
For those visiting this site, I’d encourage you to find your passion, to follow your dream; to keep it firmly in your heart and in your mind, and to take action to make it a reality for all to see and enjoy.
Please click on the individual buttons to view information about original, creative writing in the form of Books already published, and details of those awaiting publication.
Landa’s Haven © is the warm fuzzy page where you will find “personal perspectives” written by this author as well as those by a few other writers. This page also contains insights that are not necessarily “warm fuzzy” but are written for inspiration anyway. In 2010 I hand-picked 21 stories from this page and created an Ebook, paperback and Kindle books entitled Selected Works House of Bee Sting – Landa’s Haven (birthday edition). It is available from lulu.com and amazon.com.
Tales from the Canoe © is where we can all have a bit of a laugh at some of life’s experiences, and realities, including those that women experience and share. This area carries a warning about “Language”; it is mild language, but please bear this in mind anyway.
Byron’s Little Helper © has a selection of inspirational sayings, quotes, and encouraging words in the form of Pocket Companions plus a collection of special photographs, and has kept Byron’s Little Helper – and certain friends – very busy. The page has evolved through experiences captured on digital cameras around the world.
Wordsmith © is the professional arm of House of Bee Sting. It is for business editing and for editing at university level, as well as original writing for businesses, charity organisations, etc. Services include editing of university theses and dissertations, plus online editing of web sites and portals, virtual environment quality assurance, and much more. Future plans for publishing will fit in here as well.
The web site also inspired me to create a blog early in 2010 on which to put other types of things, other photos, and other pieces of writing, my own and that of other people. Check it out on www.get-this-bebas-blog.blogspot.com
And thanks to the availability of online resources such as Lulu and Amazon, and others, talented writers have been able to self-publish their work and are no longer forced to keep it away from the world because traditional publishing is out of their reach.
Please have a look at my books that are available as paperbacks and Ebooks on lulu.com and as Kindles on www.amazon.com. Just enter my name and surname, and you’ll find them.
Whilst the original spirit of the site, my blog and of my GET-THIS books is to share without conditions, I would ask you please to note that this body of work is for personal enjoyment only and may not be sold or be in any way distributed for profit.
Enjoy your trip through House of Bee Sting (and my blog and my books); please visit the site frequently. It will be updated regularly. I have big dreams for House of Bee Sting, and I look forward to sharing the journey with you. We’ve only just begun ….
