About
Julia Widdop is a personal coach who works with individuals who wish to explore personal growth through their writing and artwork. Julia conducts Reflective Interviewing sessions over Skype to explore the writings and artwork her clients have sent to her in advance of the sessions. These private sessions help individuals to clarify messages from their own inner higher self. Sessions can be recorded for later review. Julia offers free sessions to individuals who are willing to have the sessions broadcast live as demonstrations of the method.
Julia is also a grandmother who wrote a book to explain the big bang to her grandson. This book could be more correctly called an art book because it is filled with wonderful watercolors by illustrator, Jeanette Falconetti. Julia is currently writing a workbook to support her writer's program called The Writers Journey. See more about the Writers Journey at: www.WritersJourney.com.
A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
Description
<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>
Story Behind The Book
I was trying to explain to my Grandson how life is formed and how it never dies. It may change form, but never dies. One morning while writing in my journal the whole little book came to me. I gave the text to Jeannette who did the most wonderful watercolors for it and that's the story of the Big Sneeze.
