INFORMATION
Simply known as: THE GIFT, a.k.a. T.G.


She is one who sees, feels and conveys the inner most depths of existence. She is the creator of her own writing style [O.A.C.], which is "Open-ended Artistic Creativity". She is an Innovator.

She is a published poet and author with numerous awards and featured Poetry in: several Anthologies, also works in "Chicago's Rolling Out Urbanstyle Weekly and works written for "The Salvation Army."

She has written over 30 books. She writes in different genres and her books in print are: "Laugh A Little", "Forte' of... The Artesian Well and Sean's Dream", on Amazon. The book, "I'M A STAR!", can be purchased directly from THE GIFT. She has (3) more children's books in pre-production. She has also written a play.

She knows that it is a blessing to touch lives, that within itself is one of the most precious gifts. She knows that being a blessing is what her living is all about.

She feels that it is a joy just knowing that someone made it past the storm overtaking their lives because you were a part of the Victory, not any mortal defeat.

She strives toward the "Greatness" within her.

She is truly grateful that God has placed within her His knowledge and wisdom.

She can never be in darkness because of His "Gift."

Untold riches, knowledge, wisdom, love, understanding, faith, courage, strength and endurance, be unto all who encounter: THE GIFT

She is a reflection of a greater "Me", the one you can see clearly from the "INSIDE".

"We all move to the beat of a different drummer. Some may not have rhythm or it could be off beat. All opinions matter only when motives are not tainted with "Idle Words" T.G.

She is unique within herself, at all times... T.G.


Her work is vivid in its individual artistic soul, insight, its many interpretations, concepts, emotions and creative prowess that has been detailed within each.

She doesn't live nor does she write within anyone's model nor set standards of poetic merit. Her Work is: Her Exquisite Creative Expression. T.G.

Be encouraged to know that your potential goes far beyond what any one person sees or speaks. For it lies within your very SOUL... "Don't let anyone destroy what God has given unto YOU!!
T.G.

"LOVE is the Power, LOVE will always STAND in an ADVERSITY SHOWER..." T.G.





"Life with all of its ups and downs has "Love" somewhere to be found. "Trials and Tests" or come what may; there will always be a "Brighter Day," you MUST believe this." T.G.
How much time do we really have to waste? Is the next second your last luxury? God's Gift of Eternal Life is such a gracious notion, please give Him your love and eternal devotion...
May God Bless you all.... T.G.

As the Well gets deeper, the Raiders become many... T.G.

    gifted$1: Love your name! I feel the same way with my writing. Congratulations on all your success!

    THE GIFT: Hi gifted$1:

    Thanks and congrats on your book and all of your endeavors. It is wonderful to be able to share the gift that God has bestowed. Take care and continue in "Greatness"! ~ THE GIFT

    Ted T: Hi TG :)

    I have to agree with Red's comment on July 14. Your books are way over priced. You're asking for $1.00 per page for a book the buyer can't preview.

    It's another example of why SP/POD has a bad name.

    Yes, I'm self-published and have five titles on Amazon, B&N and other venues with a sixth due out by summer's end. Buyers can look inside before they order.

    The Kindle edition of my novel "Deathmaker" sells for $4.95 and it is 460 pages.

    As James Patterson says about his novels, "It's a good book by the way.

    THE GIFT: Hi Ted T:

    Thanks for your thoughts, but you are wrong... on Amazon the book is shown with some illustrations and the text. Although, everyone has a right to their opinion, I chose to believe those who appreciate the book have no problem in purchasing it. I leave all in God's hands for it is he who has purposed my life with his "Greatness". It will always be what he has ordained and in that I rest assured. All the best to you, always.. THE GIFT

THE GIFT: My creations are an investment in the potential and destinies of others... I see "Greatness" in you... You're A Star! T.G.

THE GIFT: I'm known to the only person who truly matters... God! People amaze me, that's why I stay to myself and write about them. It's pretty petty to talk about cost when in life you have been wasting lots on just about everything that is worth nothing, but oh yeah some other person's name and making them famous. Who are those who are complaining about cost really kidding? It's simple don't buy what you don't want and leave it at that. I'm still blessed and successful no matter what, because God is my source. Blessings to you all... THE GIFT

THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: As time goes on, everything comes down in pricing, as will my books. I am working to get them in the local bookstores and brand stores, so pricing will differ. I thank you for your support and appreciate your candor. I know how you feel, I'm a bargain shopper myself. Blessings, THE GIFT
June 13 at 1:41PM

THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: Smiles, how much does a movie cost and do you haggle with any other prices? How about all those designer names you don't write in to protest for their outrageous pricing. It doesn't matter, if you support the artist of the creative works no price is to steep to be a part of their success. All who understand that will purchase. I'm not sweating prices. I'm making "International Best Sellers". I hope you see what really matters... Thanks for you thoughts, THE GIFT
June 13 at 1:15PM
    BwaHaha!: Bless your heart, GIFT, but I haven't been to the cinema/theater in years--for the reason you allude. I wait till the movie comes out--2 years later--on TNT. :)
    Based on your reasoning, why don't you just make it an even...$50, or $100--no price being too high for quality.
    From my heart, I support you, GIFT, I really do. :)
    June 13 at 1:32PM

THE GIFT: @redrider6612: Thanks for your insight, but in life dear... everything will have a price tag that someone won't agree with. If you like the content then purchase the product to support the creator. Be a blessing to the gifts that God has sent into the world... Simple enough huh... Smiles... T.G.

    redrider6612: In order to find out if I like the content, I have to purchase the book. Any way you look at it, $25 for a 24 page children's brook from an unknown author is outrageous. PA's only concern is soaking your family members. Why would anyone lay out that much if they know they can wait a month or two and get it for cheap? Seriously, if you truly want to see more quantity sold, go with a POD that will allow you to set your book price at a reasonable level.

    Anisa-: But, Red, God sent it ... That's pretty amazing, no?
    June 14 at 2:37AM
    THE GIFT: @redrider6612: It's pretty simple you pay for what you want. If you want it buy it at any price as you do with anything in your life. You shove out money for worthless, mindless trash at any point in time. If investing in destiny and potential to others lives and yours is too costly than that's your personal choice. I'm not writing to people who are not looking for anything, but a way to be successful and cultivate that throughout their lives. Those who God sent me to will be blessed. It's all in His hands and I'm happy that it's all been handled. Thanks for your thoughts. THE GIFT
    June 14 at 3:59AM
    THE GIFT: @Anisa-: I must incorporate God in all that I do, because I was created to please Him not any man. So therefore, the gifts that He has instilled within me He has already purposed to be successful and to reach those to whom He has ordained to understand their purpose and to want to see that it becomes reality in their lives. Insight is free, at some point in life you will have to count the cost... So, how much is finding your destiny and place in this world worth to you or anyone? Only you can answer that and make the right choices for your life. Thanks for your thoughts and continue in "Greatness" THE GIFT
    June 14 at 4:07AM

THE GIFT: Would you like to be a part of the book "I'M A STAR!"? If so, let me know and I will send you the details on how you can be a part of my book cover. All the best to everyone... THE GIFT
June 13 at 1:04PM

THE GIFT: To all: We pay any amount of money for things we don't need, never will use and/or to keep up with the Jones, but when it comes to our well-being and purpose we're not going to invest much in that. That's too bad. The price of "Destiny Right Now" is worth its weight in gold. Don't put a price on success... just always capitalize on every opportunity to make it happen in your lifetime... T.G. May you all have uncommon success in all of your endeavors. THE GIFT
June 13 at 10:03AM
    BwaHaha!: "We pay any amount of money for things we don't need, never will use and/or to keep up with the Jones"
    Huh, I don't!
    Make that book $9.99, GIFT, and we'll talk about it. :)
    June 13 at 1:08PM

THE GIFT: @nor84: Thanks for the info. Yes, it's pricey, but well worth it. I'm making a difference in this world. Pricing should level out soon, so look for it to be discounted somewhere soon. I'll let you know if I find lower pricing. Thanks for caring. Continue in "Greatness" Blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT
June 13 at 9:45AM

THE GIFT: @DIS-illusioned: Again, I have no say over the book's cost. I want to do much more than build castles, I want to make a difference in the lives of all that I can. These 4 books are just steps to empowering our children, as well as parents to dream and achieve their God-given potential. Don't ever stop until you make your fairytale life come true. I know, I'm not going too. Just watch me soar and watch my smoke. The sky is so radiant when you're doing what God created you to do... Be a blessing to all... Thanks for your insight. Continue to flow in your purpose... "Greatness" be unto you, blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT
June 13 at 9:40AM

THE GIFT: @redrider6612: I have no say over the cost of the book. The publisher is trying to recoup some cost and I'm sure it will be available at a discounted price shortly, With that being said, it is a wonderfully hand illustrated colorful sleepy time story book, that children, as well as parents will cherish forever. I wanted to make an impression and I know that it will. Thanks for your thoughts. Blessings & smiles... Continue in "Greatness"
June 13 at 9:33AM
    redrider6612: Publish America is notorious for inflated book prices. There are PODs out there who allow the author to set the price. Before choosing a POD, check out Preditors & Editors, and research their name with "scam" added to their name to find out if they are reputable. Best wishes to you.
    June 13 at 12:04PM

THE GIFT: I am happy to announce that my 1st Children's Book,"Laugh A Little" is now in print!

You can find it at PublishAmerica's Bookstore Online. Thank you very much to all those who have given their support and time reviewing my work. It's been a pleasure encountering all of you... Blessings & smiles always, THE GIFT
June 12 at 7:50PM
    redrider6612: $24.95 for a 24 page book! ouch!
    June 12 at 9:07PM
    BwaHaha!: I know you want to build that castle on the moon before Dec. 21, GIFT, but...come on! :)
    June 12 at 9:21PM
    nor84: We aren't supposed to publish links on the forum. Boy, $24.95 for a children's book? Or for that matter any fiction book?
    June 12 at 9:33PM

THE GIFT: I've given away over 430 copies of my book, "Forte' of... The Artesian Well", as a pre-release gift to those who were fortunate enough to download it, before it was published.
October 28 at 8:23PM

THE GIFT: "Traveling On a Train", "Laugh A Little", "Tie A Ribbon" and "Ginger The Lizard", from the book, "Simple & Fun" will be in print shortly.
October 23 at 9:17PM

THE GIFT: I would like to thank everyone, who took time out to truly understand "THE GIFT" by reviews and support of any kind. It is greatly appreciated. Blessings to you all...

You can find my books at Createspace and Amazon.
