It's New Years Eve!

Alice Benton's Blog wishes you a very happy New Years Eve! Have the time of your life! Please stay safe and pick a designated driver if necessary, but public transportation is the best way to go this evening. Remember, even if you and yours aren't drinking, many other people will be so caution is still wise. When the ball finally drops, know that I am praying that 2012 is your best year so far. Also, that each year following is better.

God bless you & Enjoy!

Who is Autumn?

Autumn is the main character in my upcoming novel, Autumn's Five Seasons: The Men. She is a young woman with a lot to learn. She's complicated in her own way, yet easy to understand. While it's easy to relate to her, don't confuse that with agreeing with her choices. You might, but she's a naive young lady with lessons to learn. One reader saw Autumn as a classy woman with a smutty edge. While another one described her as a little maddening.

Autumn's Five Seasons: The Men is filled with Autumn's relationships. It shows how she has dealt with some things that have happened to her within them. She's basically trying to keep herself together and figure out her next steps while struggling through messes along the way. Will love find her as she moves through these men and their situations?

Autumn's Five Seasons: The Men is absolutely riveting. You'll become engrossed in the characters from section to section and be surprised by all the twists and turns. This novel will leave you excited about what you read and ecstatic that it's part of a trilogy. Look for it because it's coming soon!

Day Three

Day One: It was Christmas Eve and I woke up out of my sleep in a cold sweat. I was startled awake because of a nightmare. I won't bore you with the details, but it was the worst kind. You know, the realistic kind that you could actually picture happening and thanks to my personal inner night theater, I saw it too. My youngest heard me scream as I awakened.

She yelled, "Are you alright?"

I responded, "Fine! Yes, nothing!" I was coming back into reality as I yelled, "Nothing's wrong! I just had a nightmare!"

"On Christmas Eve? Who does that?" She questioned.

I have to admit I found it strange too. I had been feeling nothing, but overjoyed and simply wonderful.

Day Two: It was Christmas day. I shuttered and yelled as I left this nightmare. This time my youngest didn't check on me. I guess she was over it, but I was still terrified. It was virtually the same dream, except the people were different. And yes, it was the worst kind again. This time it also left me with a sinking feeling in my stomach. It seemed so real. I thought what's going on? Where's my Bible?


Night Two: It was Christmas Night. I was preparing for bed and I placed my Bible under my pillow. I wanted it as close as possible.

Day Three: It was the day after Christmas. I woke up feeling light and peaceful. There was a lovely song playing in my head and I sprung out bed. I felt rejuvenated and ready for the world.

All I'm saying is this, the word of God even unspoken worked a miracle for me. It can for you too, although I suggest finding a verse that speaks to you and speaking it. So goodnight and sweet dreams from me...and my Bible.
