Goodreads Review: The Inheritance Letter (Robbie's Adventure Series #1) by Ralph G. Ditchburn (Goodreads Author #8198032) Kim's review: Sep 24, 14 5 of 5 stars I was a very lucky winner of this title through Goodreads First Reads. Thank you, Ralph G Ditchburn. It was difficult to put this book down, however, any time that I had to put it down to get anything done, my husband kept picking it up and reading it. He loved it also! It has the romance I like and the history he likes. What is the inheritance letter about? Robbie the hero struggles to find new love after losing his family and the struggles of four fictional lives witnessing true history in 1768. Although a fast and non-complicated read , it has more, including a Canadian woman's true and tragic story brought to light. Feeling upset over the Boston Bombings I did some research and found Boston's history complicated with tragic moments throughout. My story dwells on the areas of Hudson Bay, Niagara and Boston and leads up to the American Revolution however starting with a Canadian Ranger as the hero. Book Two includes the history of the American Revolution with an unbiased standpoint with the twist, the hero is a British red coat under his magisties service. Book one, The Inheritance Letter, the first in the robbiesadventures.com series is available at my meet and greets, *(see itenerary above) and in the right column incl. craftworks at the barn and chapters ptbo, newmarket, , see list below. Book Two, Robbie's Incarceration is under final story correction and review and will require a few quick fixes and a bit of fleshing out. Hopefully a summer 2016 release date.

I regret not learning other languages so that I could enjoy the expressions or right meanings from the European Greats. ************** Thank you everyone, this is for you (as well as the Crossroads shelter program for homeless women, see koni doll sales page)
All koni doll purchasers helped develop book one, the Inheritance Letter and future Koni charm sales will have one dollar go to the crossroads woman's shelter program and to the content edit with harry potter's old publishing house and you can say you participated in helping homeless and distressed women find their way and can boast you helped develop book two,Robbie's Incarceration, and thank you This free giveaway, Chapter Three called Headings, through early testing is a very quick study guide and along with the rest of the book can fast track you to doing your own book in days. Chapter Three called Headings, a rough draft of my study notes has plenty of enough material to get you started and off to the races. If you want to write a book? This info is crucial and minimal. Twenty minutes of reading. This info with the few things I ask you to think about will prepare you for chapter four, the fill-in-the-blanks write your story in days if not hours. There are some examples for explanation purposes that are taken from book one the Inheritance Letter and book two Robbie's Incarceration which is not even finished yet. This how-to-write book, blog help for writers -how to write a book in days if not hours, is another book coming out that can get you a fast draft down and then either re-write, polish, re-write, then email me and I hopefully will have that list of publisher caveats you need to read first before going to a publisher. We can exchange emails and do author functions together if there is time and availability. The other option after completing the Blog Help For Writers book is to start your story over using more of your own thoughts and ideas and now that you know how to write a book, you can take more time to flesh out your masterpiece. Email me if you want encouragement. I was helping three writers.
Nothing serious just an email or two. The completed book 'Blog Help For Writers' is a very fast, YOU WANNA WRITE-LET'S GO! APPROACH - WASTING NO TIME. A helpful and informative list where you read for twenty minutes, daydream or brainstorm for a bit and write down a few ideas, then chapter four of BLOG Help For Writers, in the book you fill-in-the-blanks tying in your story ideas to the story structure requirements given. You are instructed to fill out your story on the timeline, add-in important scenes and voila, a finished rough cut in days if not hours. Now happily flesh out the scenes with scene requirements and let the universal message/theme, (love wins over money, friends over love, patriotic duty over money) be the under thought of the story and let love or life always be on the line, have increasing conflicts and worse and worse conclusions per segment till the close when we let the hero win. Finish fill-in-the-blank story requirements on the timeline to the conclusion,(to the end of the timeline)and see your dream story unfold. Then change add, re-arrange, write and polish till it reads right. Then call me when you are ready to publish and I will give you any tips I have learned dealing with publishing houses. Seriously, Email me if you are thinking of going to a publisher. I have a small list of publisher caveats you should read before going to the publisher and will talk about freely with you just for saying hello and supporting me. I'm at : robbiesadventures@gmail.com My wonderful friends, family and fans i thank you sincerley. I have expanded from one book store in Peterborough to over thirty bookstores in the last three weeks. It really is because of the story.

robbiesadventures@gmail.com Fantastic news! i have been invited by Barnes & Noble to submit physical copies of my book for review to be included in their USA stores. Yippee. I have to have sales first. My books will be printed on recycled paper by Acme Box Co.
at my added cost. I remember Acme Box Co from when I was a kid and finding out that was the same company was the deciding factor to use FriesenPress. Is that awful? I also made the fonts large for easier reading. The paperbacks are printed in the larger size 6" x 9" size and I opted for the large print style.
