About

        After losing my job in the architectural drafting field and discovering the local music scene 3 years ago, I embarked on a career change and have never looked back.  I have always been a writer of sorts.  I write down thoughts, poetry, and just stories that seem to come from nowhere.  Being that I love writing so much, and have been told by many people that I am good at it, I decided on making a career out of it.  Since starting my new career, I have written for a local music magazine called Music Entertainment Magazine and have since moved on to writing for All Access Music Magazine as well as Man-Up Magazine, Session Magazine and Examiner.com.  Combining my love for writing with music and the local music scene only seemed like a natural thing to do. 

       Since discovering my new career path, I have been writing on various other topics as well as continuing to write about music. I am in the process of helping to write a book called The Anomaly, which should be released sometime later this year (2010).  Writing has always been my passion, my solace, my one true lover.  It has never let me down or left me broken hearted.  To this day, even though I am working for magazines and writing a book, I still will write poetry, thoughts and stories that derive out of nowhere.  The passion to write comes from within the very depths of my soul and runs rapidly through my veins.  There isn’t anything I won’t place pen to paper or key strokes to a keyboard over, just as long as I get to do it with the heart and soul I feel it deserves.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

Now that my son is three we are getting ready to take another trip to there and I was hoping this book would help us plan our trip. Overall it is a great resource for GWL travelers. <br /><br />The book starts with a short chapter on the things that are new for 2010 including MagiQuest. There are great tips on how to save both time and money to make the most of your trip. They also talk about local attractions, inside restaurants and outside, etc. <br /><br />After these first couple chapters the following chapters focus on each of the 12 locations and what is at each and gives tips and instructions for each park. It also explains the most efficient way to all the major attractions in the park and at the lodge if you have limited time. Following all this awesome information are page long (on average) sections describing each individual attraction. On these pages you get a little history about the attraction, a description of it, fun facts about it, and things like that. <br /><br />I like how it categorises the different attractions for toddlers, pre-teen, teenagers, and adults. All in all I was very impressed with the amount of interesting and useful information this book. The only weak points were a lack of information for special diets (it's there but very very brief)which I have and a lack of itineraries. Other than that I thought this was a superb guide.
