A Message from Tania Elizabeth
I am asking for everyone's
assistance.
To give to others is to
give to oneself, and I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Help us to raise funds for
the Starlight Children's Foundation,
which supports terminally ill children and their families.
There are two ways in which
people can help. It is very simple.
By simply hosting, reviewing
or interviewing myself/my book via a blog post, Amazon, newspaper, radio, TV
within a 21-day window frame, between the dates of 12 April and 3 May. For
every appearance, I will be donating $1 to the Starlight Children's Foundation.
If any of you could help, I
would be so grateful. If you could connect me with anyone else who would be
happy to interview, do a short post or review on myself/my book, I would be
ever so grateful.
I am also asking for
donations, even $1, which you may do direct via this link: http://starlightday2013.gofundraise.com.au/page/ElizabethT.
We are looking at making
this an annual event. This year it is based upon myself, though every year
after, we will base it upon another upcoming author. So please share and pass
this along to all. Let's make this a huge affair and raise much needed funds
for a very worthy cause.
My heartfelt thanks to all.

Description
I
am a divine being of divine beauty and power.
My power lies in love, my strength I’ve gained from grace
I am grounded in thy truths and live purely of heart.
I’ve a gratitude for all life’s glory; never shall I be misplaced.
My power lies in love, my strength I’ve gained from grace
I am grounded in thy truths and live purely of heart.
I’ve a gratitude for all life’s glory; never shall I be misplaced.
Though
it comes to pass that I am rivaled
By the name of another and that of my own uncertainties,
dare I be denied my truths, my mind’s clear
By the name of another, I am now in jeopardy.
By the name of another and that of my own uncertainties,
dare I be denied my truths, my mind’s clear
By the name of another, I am now in jeopardy.
Beyond the boundary that
separates the mundane and earthly planes from the divine lies Eterna Fadas, a
place ruled by extraordinary beings, lithe and human-like in appearance, yet
ethereal in their grace and beauty, and sensuous in nature.
"I have existed
always! Where I began I do not know, for all I know is just as I am
today!"
As Queen, Tatiana was
thought to have lived a life of opulence, her faith and beliefs her endearing
essence. Why then was it so, that beneath the picture of perfection laid
torments and terrors even she dare not explain. Being She came with its prices
paid. Being She came with a deal; a contract in which she was to relinquish
herself to a rogue of unmerciful fury. Would this be the end of all she know?
Would this be the end of her existence?
Book Trailer
Excerpt
Crystabella had never seen him so vulnerable. She had never seen or felt
such sincere looks of gratitude and love from him. So although she despised
that he was under so much pain, she relished his innocence. He sincerely needed
her for the first time ever . . . not the other way around.
~•*•~
That was to be the last she had seen of him before she was to hear the
every detail from the night of the Moon Clearing, including Edan’s true
intentions regarding herself.
It was then that Crystabella snapped herself out of the senseless dream
she had now been living for so long.
“Do you see now Tatiana? Why it is I apologize! Why I must redeem
myself!”
Tatiana took a deep breath so as to gather her thoughts before
answering.
“My beautiful Crysa, you have absolutely no reason to apologize for
following your heart. If anything, I am proud of you!”
Crystabella looked at Tatiana so confound.
“How is it that you can be so proud of me when I have gone against all
our beliefs? I have disregarded myself, our kind and you; not just as our
Queen, but as my friend!”
“But don’t you see, you have done no such thing! You have unfortunately
been misled at times, but there was not one moment where your best intentions
were not apparent.”
Making sure the following comment was heard evidently clear, Tatiana
paused before speaking with conviction.
“Your heart was always in the right place even if it was in the wrong
place!”
“How could I ever be ill tempered at you for that? I can’t!”
Crystabella would continue to fight with her percipient choices of mind
versus heart. Her mind would try to deceive her, have her believe that she was
not worthy. Though her heart, her soul knew better. She was worthy and
deserving of more than she had allowed herself to acknowledge in a long time.
Review
A Devine tale of magic and mysticism, of love and
lust, of loyalty and deception, of endearing friendships and betrayals, Tania
Elizabeth's debut, must read tale The Moon Clearing is sure to enrapture the
hearts and minds of readers of all genres. Set in the beautifully depicted
faerie realm Eterna Fadas, mother earth is both the splendid scenery and an
integral character of the story, vivid depictions of the magic and wonder that
abounds our existence are plentiful. Queen Tatiana's story is not unlike our
own life's journeys as she faces and overcomes obstacles and obligations, experiences
heartache and joyful splendor, relishes in admirable friendships and battles
her ego mind as she encounters a tortured soul whose inner turmoil wrecks havoc
on her own existence and that of her devoted people. Through the entwined lives
of these stunning, enchanted beings you will become lost within a world of
magic and of faith, where beauty abounds and a deep seeded belief that love
prevails is prevalent throughout. You will become enthralled by their stories
and find yourself deeply invested in these characters, consumed with all that
they are, feeling as they do, absorbed by both the beauty of Tania Elizabeth's
writing and the underlying message that seen or unseen, love, magic and faith
in oneself are contained in the hearts of us all should we simply choose to
trust in ourselves. I found myself getting lost in this story, only ever
putting it down to savor in the anticipation and the enchantment of Tatiana's
fate. I have been left hungry for the second installment and I am certain you
will be too.
Interview With the Author
Hi
Tania Eizabeth, thanks for joining me today to discuss your new book The
Tier of Eternal Grace, Book One: The Moon Clearing.
Which
writers have influenced you the most?
To begin with, I would
have to name Enid
Blyton. For it was her books, The Magic
Faraway Tree and The Adventures of
the Wishing Chair in which had me lost in the fantasy worlds as a child. The
classical and poetic writings of William
Shakespeare. And, Florence
Scovel Shinn, who wrote the book in which was the catalyst for my own
journey of self love and discovery.
What
age group do you recommend your book for?
The glory of The Tier of Eternal Grace is that it is for all ages from late
teens through to that of the older generations.
What
sparked the idea for this book?
My ideas arose from the
desire to write a book that not only enabled the reader to delve into an
enchanting realm of magic, love, betrayal, deceit, every emotion under the sun.
But that also had the reader begin a journey of self discovery and to learn to
love oneself within. As for the faeries, I have had an avid interest in faeries
ever since I was a child.
Which
comes first? The character's story or the idea for the novel?
In
the case of The Tier of Eternal Grace,
I have to actually say that is was a mixture of both elements arising all at
the same time.
What
was the hardest part to write in this book?
The
very deep disturbing emotional elements were most definitely the hardest, as
much of my book relates to that of my own life in one way or another. Thus it
unearthed particular moments in my life that I had pushed beneath the carpet so
to speak. Though in the same breath, I am grateful. For it is through the
writing of this book in which I have healed and found my true self once more.
How
to you hope this book affects its readers?
To
live and breathe in the words of Tatiana and her people. To learn a greater
respect for that of Mother Earth and that of oneself. And to simply loose themselves
in the enchantment and the magic of each page they cast their eyes upon.
How
long did it take you to write this book?
11
months in total.
What
is your writing routine?
Most
of my writing is done in the darkness of the night skies. For as a single
mother of three beautiful children, my days are full running around after them.
Once they are in bed ... give this girl a cup of coffee and my chocolate, and I
am set for another long night of writing.
How
did you get your book published?
I
am self-published. I had long made the choice to self-publish, for I was not
willing to lose any control when it came to how my book was to be perceived and
read by the public. Not to say that my
thought on this would not change. I just knew that this was the right decision
at the time for myself.
What
advice do you have for someone who would like to become a published writer?
First
and foremost, Believe! Do not allow doubt and fear to become one's friend.
What
do you like to do when you're not writing?
Ahh
... that’s easy. Spend quality time with my angels. Be it at the beach, hiking
the mountains or snuggled up on the couch watching a movie. Perfection lays
best when my babies are at my side.
What
does your family think of your writing?
They
are incredibly supportive and love all of my work.
Did
you enjoy school?
Yes,
very much so. I was at times an outcast, though I loved it all the same. I seem
to now flourish in being different. I love it ... just as I love my life!
When
did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
It
has always been a dream, though it was not until I had come to a place of pure
contentment with oneself and learnt the true meaning of I Love Me, that I
gained the courage to pursue my dreams.
Did
your childhood experiences influence your writing?
Yes,
many of my
weekends were spent in the countryside and the rainforests of Far North
Queensland by the Great Barrier Reef, where I would lose myself in my
imagination along with my siblings and cousins in abundance. My father, Lionel,
also began to enlighten me on how to meditate and understand the sagacity of
energy. Thus, my growth into the spiritual world.
What
was your favorite book as a child?
The
very same books that inspired me and began my love of fantasy ... Enid
Blyton’s The Magic Tree and The Adventures of the Wishing Chair. Mind
you, I also loved, The
Sleepover Club series. Once a teenager, I found myself delving into poetry book after poetry book.
Do
you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
I
have had some beautiful comments and reviews made. I like to stay well
connected to my readers as much as possible.
What
can we look forward to from you in the future?
The
second and third installment to The Tier
of Eternal Grace series. From there, the world is my oyster J
Thanks for joining me today, Tania. I wish you
every success with your writing and in your fundraising endeavors.
About the Author
Like each and every one
of us, Tania's journey has been one of trials and tribulations, of Love and of
passions; and the dissolutions of it. Heartache, sorrows, smiles and laughter
always seeming. Through the writing of this book and the words of Tatiana,
Tania has found a peace within and learnt the true meaning of 'I LOVE ME!'"
Tania Elizabeth is the
author of The Tier of Eternal Grace.
Book One, The Moon Clearing, was
released earlier this year. Book Two, The
Mirror's Shadow, will be released about September. Book Three will then
follow in the early part of 2014.
Aside from her writing
and her three angels, Tania is also an advocate for the Starlight Children's
Foundation. Being a mother
herself and having seen firsthand what some of these children are dealt with on
a day to day basis, and yet seeing the strength and courage they each maintain,
Tania felt the need to not only donate her time, but to also help raise much needed
funds.
