I know that I haven’t blogged recently and please forgive me.  First of all, I want to wish everyone a healthy and happy 2010. This year will be special, I can feel it.  Please take the time to pray that the people of Haiti will come back from this horrific tragedy and give what you can monetarily. We’re an incredible giving country.  I’m proud to be a citizen of this great nation.

I want to thank Lynne Berger, a talented writer that I have admired for ages, for her heartfelt review of my novel. When I started to write “When I Remember Love,” I never thought that the book would ever be finished, much less entertain and impact so many people’s lives. I feel blessed that God gave me the talent to use my voice through my writing. Please read Lynne’s review that I have posted below, and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart.

“WHEN I REMEMBER LOVE,’ A NOVEL BY TRISH SILVER

This is an exciting romantic novel, by Trish Silver, a fabulous
new author who weaves an endearing and timeless love story.  Ms. Silver
is an insider in the entertainment business, and she offers an
insightful look at what life is truly like for a reality singing superstar
after the final performance. Despite the trials of fame, fortune and
personal tragedy, the story embodies a truth that reaches the hearts
and souls of readers because in the final analysis, love is all that
really matters.

Ms. Silver is a natural born story-teller whose unabashed look at
life is brilliant and insightful, and her story is a page turner
written with a note of magic as well as a dose of inspiration for
those contemplating a serious relationship.
She especially describes sex in marriage as a gift to be enjoyed
rather than something to be tolerated, taken for granted, or gotten
over with quickly. This delightful and entertaining story is written
with the honest intention of helping those who are considering
marriage. It is both hot and sexy as well as provocative and
intelligent. It also provides a thoughtful look at what’s necessary to
achieve true marital bliss. It could very well serve as a primer for
marriage, aptly entitled Marriage 101!

Lynne Berger is a journalist and free-lance writer, and the former
founder and director of The Enchanted Forest Children’s Theatre and
Learning Center in Tarzana, California.

When I Remember Love received two new professional reviews.
You can read the reviews on my site under Book Reviews or go
right to the sources, Manic Readers and Romance Junkies.  Here is a taste:

Trish Silver provides a wonderful take on what life for a contestant
on a reality television show is like after the last performance. She gives a
remarkable view of the world beyond and how a star is born. The original
music that was made for the novel only adds to the magical ambiance that
Ms. Silver so marvelously crafts. This is a story for anyone who has ever
been in love or ever dreamed of finding the special person meant for them.

The most difficult part of  being a new author is getting readers to find and read your book.  There are authors online who
make it their business to help other authors get their work known.  I have decided to honor these special people on my web site
and my blog.   These  fine men and women provide wonderful services to us at no cost.  I have learned a lot from them, and I know
you will too.  You can find the full discussion about them on this  page of my web site, Authors Who Help.

The authors that I have honored  today are:

Vincent Lowry, an author who has provided numerous ways  to to share our books from book videos to author interviews to name a
couple.

Todd A. Fonseca, an author who has made the art of tagging on Amazon a necessary skill for all authors.  He has found a way to get our books tagged with help from us all.

Cheryl Morgan, an author who has provided a group for new authors on Facebook.  Through this group she has provided numerous services to us.

Please read about them on the Authors Who Help page on my web site.  You will find an abundance of information that you should know as an aspiring or a veteran author.  Also if you know an author that should be added to this list, please email me at trish@trishsilver.com with information about him or her.

One night I had a dream and that dream turned into a passionate love story, “When I Remember Love.” Actually, my central characters kept telling me their tale and guided me through my journey of writing their marital love affair. I felt that Jenna and Aidan channeled their love through my words. I’m humbled and honored that they chose me as their conduit.  In high school I read the incredible novel, “Lady Chatterley’s Lover.” At the time it was published it was a controversial novel, but it became a classic. Apart from the wonderful, and by modern standards not at all outrageous, romantic/erotic aspect, this novel surprised me with its accurate and touching insight into protagonists’ minds as well as the social and political landscape of England’s post WWI era. It was an easy, fast and absolutely deep read. I loved it at the time and felt it was something special. I hope when people read “When I Remember Love,” they will experience the same enjoyment and feel it to be special.

I’m proud to present a review from a highly respected psychologist who understands the true essence of my novel. I thank her for her kind words.

When I Remember Love, is a beautifully written love story that reinforces the importance of keeping the flame alive in relationships through passionate yet tender, consistent and thoughtful lovemaking. This book focuses on and teaches couples how to connect with each other sexually and psychologically in magical ways that enhance and enrich the relationship. Aidan and Jenna are able to transcend inordinate amounts of life stressors because of their deep committed bond to each other. Their desire to make each other feel special enables them to deal unwavering with the challenges they endure. I recommend all couples read this book to learn how to continually ignite the magic in their relationships.
