PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Sheree K. Nielsen is Author/Photographer of 2015 Da Vinci Eye Award Winner, Folly Beach Dances, a 'healing' coffee table book inspired by the rhythm of the sea and her lymphoma journey; and coauthor of, Midnight, The One-Eyed Cat, a picture book about overcoming handicaps and building confidence. An award-winning author, poet and photographer, publications include Long Weekends, Southern Writers Magazine, AAA Southern Traveler, AAA Midwest Traveler, Missouri Life, Modern Magazine (NY) magazines, anthologies, newspapers, and websites across the nation and Caribbean. The travel bug bit her as a small child, traveling extensively with her family to the South and Great Lakes regions. She's been scuba diving since 1992, encountering sharks, dolphins, stingrays and other large marine life along the way. When not writing, Sheree's usually discovering new beaches and coffeehouses, or checking items off her bucket list with her hubby, Russell, and two goofy canine kids. Four content cats round out her family on three acres in Missouri. She has an uncontrollable dependency on dark chocolate.
Sheree Nielsen gets it. She's a gatherer of details and lovely moments - of beachy beauty, of good people and their kind words, of gentle animals. She loves what should be loved in life. She honors what should be honored. She seems to live the way we all should live. Reading her essays reminded me how to live better... - Sandy Gingras, Author/Illustrator of many gift books including Walks on the Beach and Lessons of a Turtle With extraordinary reverence for the natural world, and the creatures who inhabit it, Sheree K. Nielsen has crafted a collection of wonder and meditation on wanderlust. Nielsen's attentions frequently focus on the unknowable ocean and the beaches that welcome water to shore. She travels from present to past to give voice to her father, her many animal companions, and her beloved husband. From larkspur to sand dollars, and dragonfly wing to canine fur, these essays rely upon a sort of tenderness that feels distinctly Midwest in the best possible way--warm, open, and deeply curious about whom and what boarders state and sea. This is a collection of praise and grief, yes, but more so a call to action to be more present in the spaces that capture our imagination. Nielsen is asking us each to pay respects to the world we inhabit, and to exude gratitude for the privilege in simply being -here-. -Kelli Allen, Pulitzer nominated author of Imagine Not Drowning and Otherwise Soft White Ash Sheree Nielsen has penned another fantastic read with Ocean Rhythms, Kindred Spirits, capturing one of our family's favorite things - traveling to the beach with our pups! Stories involving a beloved sand-loving golden retriever and a cat who expressing love by waking the author with a 'gift', prompted memory-filled smiles. In Ocean Rhythms, Kindred Spirits, Sheree's love of family, travel and pets is a most enjoyable read - whether you're on a sofa, hammock, or the beach! - Kent Whitaker Culinary Author, Barbecue Guru - Great American Grilling Surrender to nature and the pull of the sea and immerse yourself in Ocean Rhythms, Kindred Spirits. Let Nielsen's reflections, insights, and adventures spirit you away to a world of sea, sunlight, salt air, and self-discovery. - Tom Poland, A Southern Writer, Author of South Carolina Country Roads A journey through sea and land, this book inspires self-reflection and universal connection. A refreshing collection of personal essays! - Trina Sotira, Co-editor of Shifts: An Anthology of Women's Growth Through Change, 2015 USA Best Book Award Finalist, and 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist Ocean Rhythms, Kindred Spirits is a charming collection of moments and memories reminding us to value life's small blessings. - Pat Wahler, author of I am Mrs. Jesse James
