Archives for January 2012

Every writer has their inspiration and mine seems to be music.  It’s not the words sometimes as much as the beat of the song.  However, I do love In for the Kill by La Roux featuring Kanye West and I’ll tell you why.  It was a brilliant partnership similar to Michael Jackson with Vincent Price (may they rest in peace), both Kings – one of Pop+ one of Horror, in the song Thriller.  If you’ve ever seen a Vincent Price movie, you’ll know what I mean.  Kanye sounds like a modern day Vincent Price – oh yeah!  Thank you to both Kanye and La Roux for making a great modern day horror song. 🙂

As a follow up to yesterday’s post, Mr. Leonard Cohen’s contact emailed me within twelve hours to forward information on the request for reprinting words from one of his songs. It’s a wonderful world we live in.  Just reach out and ask and you may receive what you need. Bonne chance.

I figured out what I love about this lifestyle, other than the writing of course, are the fantastic and interesting people I have the privilege of meeting and conversing with.  Today, I had an awesome appointment with a fellow that is re-designing the book cover to Wake Me Up Inside. After rambling on about the story line, he looked at me and said rather excitedly ‘How cool’.  He’s come up with a great design (which will be revealed in April or thereabouts) and was on the same page with my thoughts on the cover and when that happens, it’s magic.  Thank you to the artist.  On another note, I spoke with the famous John Robert Colombo who is engaging and soon to read my ebook and perhaps review it depending on his thoughts.  Let’s cross our fingers that he likes it! 🙂 And lastly, I am trying to contact Leonard Cohen, a fellow Canadian, musician and singer/songwriter.  I want to include one of his amazing songs in my next ebook.  So if you live in California and you happen to run into him, could you please ask him to return the email from fellow Canadian Lee Bice-Matheson?  I’d really appreciate it! 🙂 Many do not know this but I work with my husband in our Clinic and the people that I get to speak with there are awesome;  each and every one of them!  I do warn them that they may end up as fodder for my books. And lastly  I didn’t want to do it, I have succumbed to Twitter and it’s pretty cool.  I have several followers which is kind but no one seems to answer the question ‘DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?’ If you want to join in on a worldwide conversation, look me up under BiceMatheson or on www.facebook.com/leebicematheson  Thank you!

Fantastic news!!  My ebook will be available on these two eReaders starting as soon as February, 2012.  Finally, delivery in Canada. This format is quickly evolving and is an easy way to retrieve information almost immediately.  Not only ebooks, but newspapers and magazines are online to order.  Don’t get left behind in the latest technological revolution.

For those of you who are experiencing psychic phenomena, I would suggest you look at my youtube video listed below or on the header of this website. Seek out information on the internet that speaks to you or find a book on the subject written by a psychologist or Ph.D. and finally, do consult a specialist in the area.  It could be a renowned psychic, a minister, rabbi or priest, spiritualist society or an elder, but make sure you talk to someone about what’s happening.  It is not good to keep it to yourself and wonder what is going on.  There is so much to learn about speaking to a higher power and you certainly want to make sure you are not speaking to a negative energy or otherwise.  A bit of advice, if you don’t mind, for the year 2012.  Get talking about it!  Harvard and other noted institutions have spent millions of dollars since the turn of the century on parapsychology research or what is now coined as ‘psi research’.  The CIA has been researching this phenomenon for many decades. Check out my post on Dr Daryl Bem who has proven research on this subject.  Or look at Sages and Scientist on youtube for their wealth of information.  Here are the links:

Bonne chance et good luck! 🙂

From an author’s point of view, it is difficult to sell ebooks/books, especially if you don’t have time to market them.  However, in 2012 I have sold books now through Apple iTunes’ iBookstore and Barnes and Noble.  Hallelujah!  Amazon.com has sold most of my ebooks followed by Sony ebookstore.  Thank you to the readers who are buying Paige Maddison’s Wake Me Up Inside.  You encourage me to keep on writing!  Book two is longer, more complicated and sure to thrill its’ readers.   Best Regards.
