Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

 Love. Love. A word. An emotion. An instinct. A cause for joy. A cause for sorrow most extreme. Love has been the first emotion and/or feeling that we humans experience. I truly believe that love begins in the womb. A bond that only mother and child can share. Others say that the love begins immediately upon birth. Motivated by the beat of the mother's heart as a child suckles for the first time. There is no doubt that the love between mother and child can not be matched with any other type of love. There are many forms of love. The love we just spoke of. The love of the Father is as unique as the Mother's. Then we have sibling's love. Followed by all connected relative's. "Family love" . The first line of the love in your life. The most important of all. It is proven fact that those who are raised in a loving and caring environment are far more likely to become very successful later in their lives than those who are raised in an atmospher

  You never realize how Blessed you are until you learn to look at the world through unbiased eyes. Step back from your usual self and you shall see the true trials and tribulations of your fellow man. You will become humbled and have a realistic understanding of what life truly entails. I have experienced this. These past two years have changed my very core. The cancer battles. The spleen exploding and my bleeding out. The septic blood poisoning. The gall bladder. Jordan's suicide. I appreciate everything in my life like I never had before. I see how precious all aspects of my life are. From conversation with my nieces to discussions with adults. All are as precious as can be. From the smile on a stranger to the love in your mate's eyes. Both hold equal value. The key to living a life with meaning is to be caring, appreciative, honest, loving, forgiving, real and, most importantly, humble. If you achieve this level of consciousness then your life will be a wonderful journey.

The giveaway is now “ LIVE  and you can download it for free until Friday Midnight. This is one of my personal favourite that I have written. “6315 The Original Urban Viking” The difference between this work and my first few published works is astronomical. My first few books are very rough and amateurish. They definitely were. As I say in my intro of “ DAMAGED “, I published it without correcting any of the format or grammar or spelling mistakes. The reason for doing so was that part of my life was chaos and tragedy and I wanted you, the reader, to understand and feel what my so-called childhood was in reality. Although, I have many years experience freelance writing and I have my blogs, some of which have hundreds of posts, I found authoring a book to be far different then a journalism type of article. Volume 1 of My Autobiography https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1973405784 I put all my knowledge and all my heart into “ 6315 The Original Urban Viking “.  Many, many hours of re-writes and edi

    Now that Jordan’s biography has been published I can proceed with promoting his story and the secondary reason I wrote “ Black Diamond: Bubba”s Story” . I want people to see what happens within the system. How the  youth like Jordan get pulled into the system, chewed up and spat out onto the concrete sidewalks of society when they, “Age Out.” “ Aging Out”  is the practice of releasing the youth to live as adults once they reach the age of majority for whatever jurisdiction they live in. They are given a pep talk, a temporary assistance cheque and with hidy ho out the door of care they go. I am not sure what avenue to pursue next. I have sent submissions to numerous TV, Radio and as many media outlets as I could think of. I am also sending it to various politicians that I know care about what is happening to our youth. I would be forever grateful if all my family, friends and readers could share Black Diamond: Bubba’s Story as much as they could. Let us give Jordan’s death a meaning

  AUGUST 17, 2020 LIGHTHOUSE DANN EDIT It began with my writing my first autobiography. My “ Walk With Dann Collection “. The four volume account of my life of trials and tribulations. “ Damaged ” was the first book I wrote and published. It covers the first part of my life from birth till my early twenties. I published it without reading it or correcting any of the errors within. My justification for this is that period of my life was not scripted or corrected. “ Damaged”  is raw and bluntly real. Such as my life during that time frame was. It was followed by the three consecutive volumes, “ Bane” , “Boon ” and “ Unkz, A Canadian Cosmonaut”. As you will see upon reading them, you will see how greatly my writing improved. As well as my story lines also. At the time I wrote my  “Walk With Dann Collection”  I was not supposed to survive my cancer for very long. “Unkz”  was supposed to be the last chapter of my life. Then I began my battle with late stage four Squamous Cell Carcinoma. M

  Delaney Jordan McLean Verner’s life is now immortalized. I have completed and published his biography. It would be an understatement to say that this was the most difficult book any man could have wrote. Believe me when I say that it was far worse then you could imagine. Every single keystroke brought with it a thousand tears and a night of chest pain. The paperback format will be available today. My “ Author Page ” remains at:  ama zon.com/author/lighthouseverner As I am a Canadian I have relocated my sales page to Amazon.ca Here is the link to the eBook format: Bubba and his wife had decided to relocate to Alberta from Toronto. Hoping to start a new fresh life where no one knew of their tragic past. Hoping to break free from the streetlife of the concrete jungle we call,  “Toronto, Ontario, Canada.” As you will read within these pages, it did not go well. It ended with Bubba hanging himself on Christmas Morning 2019. Here is the link to the paperback version:  https://www.amazon.ca

  Time to edit When a few years back I decided to start writing, I did not have a laptop or home computer. This presented a problem with the logistics of the task. Mainly, how the heck can I do it? I have always wrote my WordPress blog via my cell phone. Reason being that I usually author them while being in transit. Also, WordPress has such a great platform. Very user friendly. I would write a chapter or two and save it as a “draft” blog. Then, I would download the draft onto my ChromeBook and into my “OpenOffice” program. Another free ‘open source’ program. In OpenOffice, I would then use a custom template for the size book I wish to publish. As I publish on Amazon and Kindle the preferred size is 5 x 7 inch. The struggle was and is real. It sounds like a complicated way to publish a book, but in reality it was not. It was frustrating, but well worth my time. From there I would upload it as a Word version document to the Kindle Amazon KDP site. There I used their user friendly progra
