Sorry guys for not posting much this week. I have been getting baptized in Ai and it is both fascinating and terrifying. I am creating a hyper realistic book trailer for my second book as a practice exercise to learn Ai video. This trailer is not edited or cut in any way. It doesn't have the narration or the sounds effects to make it immersive. It also doesn't have all the shots so I have more shots to finish it. Then cut it down. I just wanted to show you what the visuals can look like for a Ai book trailer today. This trailer is literally the opening chapter of the second book in my Multiverse Discovery book series. The main character Meadow wakes up in another reality than the one she was inside in the first book. She is in a medieval Forrest and later town. She is able to enter the king's city where the story really begins. We only get 3/4 of the way into this trailer when it ends here. I have to go to bed so I cant finish it tonight. Let me know what you think so far with my limited knowledge of Ai tools. Paul Roberson

I created this and would love your feedback. From Invisible to Invincible: What’s Ready to Emerge? You don’t need fixing. You are not broken. You’re ready to forget what you learned and remember what you’ve forgotten — and return to ease. If you’ve been holding it together, performing fine, or quietly questioning everything, I built something for you. This reflection will help you see where you are in the shift from invisible to invincible — and what’s ready to step forward. After you receive your results, I’ll also send you the Interactive Emotion Wheel to support what you’re noticing. check it out here: https://agent-6995dccfe3fc623--frominvisibletoinvincible.netlify.app/

When I wrote An Invitation to Shine: From Invisible to Invincible, I told my story. The messy parts. The dissolving. The places where I stopped performing and started living differently. What I didn’t expect was how many of you would say, “That’s my story too.” So I’m opening something new. I’m inviting readers — and anyone who feels called — to share a personal story using the same three-part arc that shaped the book: Forgetting what you learned. Remembering what you had forgotten. And how that changed the way you live and think. This isn’t about being a writer. It’s about being honest. It’s about naming where you were invisible, what cracked open, and what feels different now. Selected stories will be gathered into a companion collection expanding the original work. Different voices. Different lives. The same arc of becoming. If you feel something stirring as you read this, that may be your invitation! Aninvitationtoshine.com. You can email me at invitationtoshine@gmail.com

We just had our first coffee Hour Meetup and some fantastic ideas have been spun out of them. The idea I want to work on is this? I would like to start having regional Virtual Coffee Hour Meetups so that the Authors in certain regions of the country can come together and become friends. Every time a new author joins us we can direct them to the regional meetups so they can start building relationships with authors near them. Also regional meetup events can be done by Big Book Love Regional Leaders. The second idea is to start having Virtual Coffee Hour Meetups for Genres that authors write in so that you guys can mastermind together with authors writing what you are writing. Before we can start this, there is some information that we need to get from you guys. 1. What genre is your main genre you write in? 2. Would you be interested in these localized virtual meetups and genre specific meetups? 3. What days and times are best for you to get online for these meetups? 4. Would you be interested in becoming a Virtual Coffee Hour Regional Leader? Regional Leaders would be made into moderators for the community and you would have the ability to host these meetups right here in our live call zoom room. I would train each Regional Leader so that you understand how the software works. Just throwing this idea out there to gauge interest. Comment below your answers so we can begin to figure how to make this work for the most amount of people.+ Paul Roberson Community Executive Director https://www.bigbooklove.com/paul-l-roberson/

I just released my first book, An Invitation to Shine: From Invisible to Invincible, and I’m finding myself in that familiar place of having done the thing and now sitting with what comes next. I am about to publish the workbook and have guided meditations embedded with QR codes and next I will work on the audio. The book is out. People are reading it. Sales are coming in. And alongside the gratitude, there’s a lot I’m still learning about this part of the process. They say writing a book is hard, I found getting it formatted and ready to published and now marketing to be a bit more of a challenge I’m working with a publicist and have been on several podcasts, which has felt like a good way to speak from the heart of the book. At the same time, I’m handling all of my social media myself, and I’m noticing how easy it is to overdo it or lose the quiet thread of why I wrote the book in the first place. I joined this group because I wanted to be in conversation with people who understand books as living things, not quick wins. I’m here to listen, learn, and understand how others have navigated this season with steadiness and care.
