Kaylin McFarren has received more than 40 national literary awards, as well as a prestigious Golden Heart Award nomination for Flaherty’s Crossing, a book she and her eldest daughter, Kristina McMorris, co-authored in 2008. Before beginning her journey as a writer and developing the popular action/adventure romance series Threads, poured her passion for creativity into her work as director of a fine art gallery in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon; she also served as a Governor-appointed member of the Oregon Commission on the Arts. When she’s not traveling or pampering her puppies and three grandchildren, she enjoys giving back to her community through her involvement and support of various charitable and educational organizations in the Pacific Northwest, and is currently the president of the Soulful Giving Foundation, a Nonprofit organization focused on cancer research, care, and treatment in Oregon hospitals.

Welcome Kaylin and thanks for being with us today! Why don’t you start by telling our readers a bit about your journey to becoming a published author?

I’ve always had a love of reading… at least for as long as I can remember. My interest in writing began at the tender age of 10, when an English teacher took an interest in my stories and encouraged me to keep a journal. Throughout high school and college, I worked at the newspaper and actually had my own column. But it wasn’t until my kids were grown that I had the luxury of writing stories and sending them to publishers in New York. At one point, I was accepted by a famous and well-known firm, but then they told me to change everything about my book…everything that made it special. Rather than struggle to fit into fiction, I chose to spread my own wings with a small press and ultimately as a self-published author, which resulted in setting my own hours and deciding what I really enjoy writing about.

What is “Twisted Threads” about?

Akira Hamada, a beautiful Japanese geisha, failed to kill Kaito Mitsui two years ago, the same yakuza gang leader who destroyed her lover and forced her to become an assassin. Now, with her sister’s killer traveling to the Caribbean on a cruise ship, Akira has ten days at sea to identify her target and complete her mission as penance, or face her own death.

What inspired you to write this story?

For many years, I have been privileged to experience remarkable things and unique opportunities while traveling the world with my husband. This included a wide range of means of transportation, from private planes, helicopters, and hot air balloons to kayaks, submarines, and elegant cruise ships. My travels around the world have not only allowed me to meet interesting people and discover fascinating cultures, but also to develop lifelong friendships with fellow travelers and introduce dear friends in all parts of the world. Interesting stories shared by friends, personal experiences, and extensive research have all contributed to making this character-driven story possible and have inspired me to write this “twisted” story.

What character do you most identify? Is there something of you reflected in the characters?

Honestly, I think there are little pieces of myself in every character I create: my fears, my insecurities, my longings and my longing for love, affection and acceptance. That said, I find myself entangled in the character of Devon Lyons, even though he is a confident man. Truly, he is a lost soul in this complex murder mystery story. For several years, he has been struggling to find his true identity in a successful, strong, critical and extremely stubborn family circle. I think this is the only chance for him to break through and find out what he’s really made of and if he’s capable of true love.

How involved was your research for “Twisted Threads”?

It took me almost eighteen months to write twisted threads. This included time spent researching ship disasters, interviewing cruise enthusiasts, reacquainting myself with characters from other books I’ve written, and editing my final manuscript—maintaining an active lifestyle, of course. I usually create a visual storyboard on Pinterest, write a short summary, and just write without thinking about how the story will end. I don’t really like storyboards and long-term planning like other authors. For me, it’s more interesting and fun to let my characters develop and direct the plots of each book.

How do you keep the narrative fresh in a series?

I draw on my personal experiences and inner voices that yearn to be heard. I love each and every one of my characters, despite his flaws and imperfections, and I want readers to sympathize with his plight, heartaches, and damaged lives.

What do you like to read?

Everything you can imagine… but mainly thrillers and action-adventure stories.

Do you believe in writing every day as standard practice? Tell us about your writing schedule and a typical day at Kaylin McFarren’s desk.

I write as a daily practice from 10 am to 6 pm. When it comes to creating fiction, this can take fifteen minutes or four to five hours every day. But when I write, I am forced to express the emotions buried deep within me. Years ago I was a wounded soul, but I have always longed to be strong and overcome the insignificance that I felt throughout my life.

How do you feel when you finish a writing project?

Accomplished. When I write the final words in a manuscript, I want to believe that the truth of my story is being told and that the readers who see it will understand the hidden message in the final chapter. We all grow and become stronger from our experiences in life, good or bad…negative or positive, and I want to believe that my stories make a difference in their telling.

Which writers have inspired your own work as an author?

I love all kinds of genres: mystery, erotica, science fiction, historical romance… you name it. But what I like most is the present told in a fictional story. That’s why I love Jodi Picoult’s books. She really inspires me. Her books are controversial because they deal with real tragedies that ordinary people don’t like to discuss but at the same time consider an inescapable subject.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received about writing or about life in general?

Write what you are passionate about. I understand that some stories require research and others require commitment and honest personal experiences. But what I’m talking about is the need to share what your beliefs are… what you believe to be true and want others to understand more than anything in this world. Do not try to pretend, because it shows… believe me. Write with your heart on your sleeve and with an open mind to possibilities and you will touch lives you never thought possible.

What advice can you give to aspiring writers?

Read like there is no tomorrow. We learn from experience, whether our own or someone else’s. Just trust your talent and never stop believing that you have a gift to share.

What’s next, do you have another project in the works?

I am currently working on a new time travel story which I have discussed with my husband. Oddly enough, he dreamed of this story and I want to write about it in the worst way possible.

Where can readers connect with you on social media to learn more about “Twisted Threads” and your other books?

I honestly try to be everywhere… while writing as much as I can. You can find me on Facebook and Goodreads under Kaylin McFarren, and on Twitter at @4kaylin. My website is http://www.kaylinmcfarren.com.

Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

If you like stories created by an author, be sure to let them know. Your praise and support encourages them to work harder on developing new dramas, romances, murder mysteries, and adventures that they will ultimately enjoy and feel rewarded about writing.

The kitchen is a very busy room in your home. Between cooking, cleaning, and entertaining guests, you’ll find that dependable fixtures and utilities are essential to kitchen success. Despite the lack of attention and focus by some, the essential role of the kitchen faucet makes it one of the most important pieces in the room. It is important to understand your needs and the space available in your kitchen. Reliability and durability come together in fashionable styles in a variety of selections large enough to satisfy anyone. From unique contemporary kitchen faucets to elegant Victorian style faucets, there will be something ideal to mix and match your home’s decorative themes.

Single lever kitchen faucets are one of the simplest accessories. They are all-inclusive accessories, with hot and cold water meters and a water dispenser, all in one. This requires only one hole in the sink or countertop and will free up space in your kitchen. Easy to adjust the temperature and pressure of the water, and easy to clean, these faucets are fantastic. Some single-handle faucets come with kits that have pull-out side faucets. Take a look at single-handle faucets in the style and finish of your choice.

A two-handle kitchen faucet, as the name implies, is two-handle. Separate controls for hot or cold water allow precise control of water temperature and pressure. The two-handle kitchen faucet will require at least 3 holes in the countertop or sink: two for the gauges and one for the spout of the faucet. Many two-handle kitchen faucets are traditionally made with a Victorian look; however, many brands will also offer two-handle faucets in contemporary, traditional, or transitional styles.

An all-time favorite is the pull-out kitchen sprayer faucet. This is a classic in American kitchens. You may find this to be the most efficient and convenient faucet out there. Intuitively inspired, this handy piece has advanced rinsing and cleaning capabilities with its compact, flexible, retractable hose. Try this piece today and find it made in any style and almost any finish of your choice.

Also check out water filtration systems and faucets as well as hot water dispensers to complement your existing kitchen faucet. You’ll find great kitchen faucets from top companies like American Standard, Franke, Delta, Franke, Grohe, Kohler or Moen.

Some of you have the ability to choose the right vehicle for you, like my father, and drive it until the wheels fall off, so to speak. You can put a couple hundred thousand miles on a vehicle and be as happy with it as the day you bought it. You see a new vehicle driving down the road and you know the price they are paying for that new ride and it makes you happy to know the money you are saving.

You are seriously considering it, but why?

You don’t really need a smartphone to connect the Bluetooth, most Android radios today will connect to any device that is Bluetooth ready, but let’s say with the money you’re saving you bought a smartphone and now you’d like to do the best of Bluetooth with the hands-free calling option that everyone else has. Then you discover that you can download a playlist of your favorite songs to your phone. Now you want a radio that can play your tunes while you’re in your vehicle. And to top it off, your new smartphone has GPS navigation, but it uses your data. Even with all these features, you still don’t have a backup camera.

How can you get all these features in your vehicle without trading in or spending a small fortune on an upgraded radio, with an affordable replacement radio? There is a wide range of radios on the market. There are some that are less than the average car payment and then there are some that are as much as the average mortgage payment. We opted for the reasonably affordable type. You’ll have to get a touchscreen radio if you’re looking for built-in navigation or a backup camera. Fear not, if you can operate a smartphone, you can operate a touch screen radio.

What came with our new trip?

We own a 2016 model year vehicle that came from the factory with a touch screen radio, Bluetooth, and a rear view camera. It doesn’t have the navigation because that would have required an additional badge on the truck that would put the cost of the vehicle out of our price range. That said, we recently upgraded the radio in our 2002 model year vehicle with a radio that has all the bells and whistles, including GPS navigation, and we’re seriously debating whether or not we should upgrade to the newer truck. The aftermarket radio has more options, a bigger screen, and looks great.

Why do we choose ours?

Our teenager drives the 2002 model year vehicle. The main reason for adding all the safety features a radio offers. We wanted Bluetooth for hands-free calling and wireless music streaming, GPS navigation, WIFI, a DVR dash cam (yes, a dash cam), and a backup camera without cluttering the dash with gadgets.

Your music is downloaded to the phone or through an application. With built-in Bluetooth, the radio automatically connects to your phone, giving them access to your music. No more flipping through CDs just to find the song you want to hear. It was nothing short of a miracle all those years of flipping through CDs while driving down the highway and keeping it in the ditches. Speaking of distractions!

In conclusion.

It’s okay to take that little leap into the future. You’ll probably appreciate answering phone calls without reaching for the phone. Use the backup camera to connect to the camper or any other trailer and get it right the first time. Navigate to a destination without having an additional device dangling from the dashboard. And last but not least, our radio has a built-in DVR dash cam. I don’t even have to explain the importance of that function.

How do muscle building supplements work? To answer this question, you must first learn what the process of building muscle mass looks like.

The bodybuilding process seems easy. All you have to do is lift weights, eat the right nutrition, and take the best muscle-building supplements, right? There comes a time when you hit a plateau, but you can also get out of it with the help of supplements. So how do your muscles work and how do supplements stimulate their growth?

There are 2 forms of muscle fibers in your body, namely:

  • Type 1 muscle fibers, also known as slow-twitch muscle fibers
  • Type 2 muscle fibers, also known as fast-twitch muscle fibers

Type 1 muscle fibers are in charge when you do resistance exercises, while type 2 muscle fibers are large muscle fibers that help with muscle strength and size when you do strength training. Your muscles grow if you damage your type 2 fibers by lifting weights and applying enough tension to activate your satellite cells. These cells are located on top of your muscles and help grow, maintain, and repair your muscles. Lifting heavy objects activates your satellite cells. When you lift heavy weights, microtears form in your muscle fibers which then result in the production of satellite cells where they proceed to the damaged areas of your muscles. Satellite cells use protein substances from your store of nutrition to strengthen and thicken your muscles. This is how you become muscular and stocky.

Scientists have developed muscle building supplements to enhance this process of muscle growth. These supplements work on your energy, hormonal, and nutritional systems for faster bodybuilding. What are the 3 best muscle building supplements?

  1. hormonal supplements– The 2 types of these muscle building supplements are testosterone boosters and growth hormones. Testosterone is a natural hormone in the body and helps improve muscle protein synthesis. What testosterone boosters do is increase your testosterone levels because its production can be hampered by certain factors. Growth hormone supplements, on the other hand, increase the body’s production of growth hormones so you build muscle. Aging and high training loads decrease your GH production, which is why you need a boost through supplementation.
  2. energy supplements– The most effective energy supplements for building muscle are caffeine and creatine. You need to be careful because some energy supplements induce weight loss, which can work against your muscle-building gains. Therefore, you should stick to caffeine and creatine energy supplements to build muscle. Caffeine is the stimulating substance in coffee. It blocks chemicals in the brain that promote sleep. When you take caffeine supplements, you’ll have a faster heart rate, your airways will open, and blood flow to your muscles will increase. Caffeine supplements enhance your muscle building workouts. Take it before strength training and you’ll do more reps. Improve your overall strength. Training harder becomes more possible with the help of caffeine supplements. Meanwhile, creatine supplements increase the supply of amino acids. It’s easier to do a few extra reps with the push that creatine provides, helping you grow stronger and bigger. Your muscle cells are hydrated and, in turn, accelerate recovery and muscle growth.
  3. Nutritional supplements for muscle recovery– These supplements are taken to supplement your diet. You can’t supplement your path to good nutrition alone. Supplements have to go with a healthy diet. A necessary nutritional supplement to build muscle is whey protein. Taking whey protein shake as post-workout nutrition improves muscle repair and recovery. Another essential nutrient is fish oil which is rich in omega-3 vitamins. Taking this supplement reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation to the brain, and strengthens the cell membrane. Fish oil supplements are also one of the best muscle building supplements that promote faster muscle recovery during training.

You have probably heard of people going to the Caribbean to get married. But did she know that she too can get a legal divorce in a foreign country, no matter where she is at the moment?

a marriage bond is a Latin term that literally means “from the chains of marriage”. It has come to mean a full and final divorce, rather than a legal separation. With up to half of all marriages in the Western world ending in divorce, nearly all of us find ourselves at some point dealing with our own divorce or that of a close family member or friend. Divorce is often a tragedy for everyone involved, but it can also be an opportunity for positive change and a fresh start. A quick, amicable, affordable and legally valid divorce decree from a foreign country may well be ‘just what the doctor ordered’.

The idea of ​​foreign divorces is relatively new to most people in the Western world. When it comes to a divorce, it has always been a matter of “Do what you are told” by a local lawyer, whose main objective is to drag out the process as long as possible to extract the greatest possible benefit from you. Rate!

In many US jurisdictions, you must wait 30-90 days or even up to two years. This is even if both parties approach the divorce by mutual consent, without any fuss or fanfare, and that too is after all the financial stuff!

Elsewhere, things are even worse. In Ireland you have to wait four years minimum. In the Philippines, you can simply never get a divorce!

The origins of “quick” divorces

Mexico can be credited with inventing the “quickie” foreign divorce business. The jet-set of the 1950s and 1960s frequently traveled to Acapulco to obtain quick divorces. Subsequently, Tabasco, the smallest state in Mexico, made a brief foray into the offshore divorce business.

However, all of that is ancient history. Amendments to the Mexican Nationality and Naturalization Law that went into effect in March 1971 require that a foreigner be a legal resident of Mexico before he can file for a Mexican divorce. Becoming a legal resident is a rather complicated and time-consuming process that takes several months. Due to these restrictions, few foreigners will find it practical to attempt a Mexican divorce.

Incredibly, even though speedy divorces in Mexico stopped in the 1970s, we have found people as early as 2006 still offering them for sale online. This is a scam that would-be divorcees should be warned about.
 

Quick Divorces on Hispaniola Island

Today, the fastest divorces in the Western Hemisphere are just a short flight from Miami, Florida, on the island of Hispaniola, right next to Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

In 1971, just months after religious interests caused the Mexican Congress to bash the Mexican “quick divorce” business that had become popular during the 1960s over the head, an enterprising Mexican lawyer persuaded lawmakers to Dominican Republic to pass Law #142. allowing instant divorces for non-residents by steam. Not to be outdone, in 1974 the Republic of Haiti (the Dominican Republic’s smaller neighbor on the island of Hispaniola) passed similar laws, which are in fact even more ‘user friendly’.

This type of divorce is popularly known as the ‘VIP Divorce’, because over the years numerous celebrities and thousands of other famous people have taken advantage of these liberal divorce laws. To name a few, in no particular order: Elizabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow, George Scott, Mike Tyson, Robin Givens, Richard Burton, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, Diana Ross, Jane Fonda, Mariah Carey, Marc Anthony, and Tommy Mottola (former president of Sony Records).

Yes, these people sure have money. But divorces in the Caribbean do not have to cost as much as you might expect! They are becoming increasingly popular with ordinary citizens, and especially with families of global citizens, who may well have roots in more than one jurisdiction.

 Dominican Republic v Haiti

Today, despite its ups and downs, the Dominican Republic is a thriving economy and a pleasant country to visit, with a highly developed tourism sector. Therefore, it is preferable to get a divorce in the Dominican Republic when possible. Haiti, by contrast, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and far less stable, though of course that doesn’t make its laws any less valid.

The big difference between the two is that in the Dominican Republic mutual consent is required. The respondent spouse does not have to travel there, but will be required to appear in person to sign documents accepting the divorce at a Dominican consulate in another part of the world.

In Haiti, however, unilateral divorce is allowed. This is useful when spousal consent cannot be obtained for whatever reason, but a divorce is required to remarry, for business purposes, or just to start over. The process requires public notices in Haiti informing the spouse of the impending action, after which a default judgment is issued granting a divorce if no response is received within twenty-one days.

 

Recognition by other jurisdictions

As you may have already guessed, the big question on most people’s minds is whether this type of foreign divorce will be legally recognized in their home countries or wherever else they need it to be recognized.

Unfortunately, this is also one of the most difficult questions to answer. But in a nutshell, the answer is generally positive! This is why…

First of all, offshore divorce is perfectly legal. No doubt about that. There is no law that we know of anywhere in the world that prohibits people from going to another country and getting divorced.

Whether it is accepted where you live depends in practice on whether someone questions it. It is a fact that worldwide, more than 99.9% of divorces are never contested. The only person likely to contest the divorce would be her spouse. Most people get their spouse’s written consent, and then the spouse can’t dispute it later because of estoppel. Estoppel is defined in my law dictionary as a prohibition to allege or deny a fact due to one’s own actions or previous contrary words.

In the US, courts in many states (for example, New York) specifically accept international divorces. Courts in most others accept them on a case-by-case basis on a comity basis. The Social Security Administration and the Veterans Administration are other departments that specifically accept and recognize international divorces. The Department of State authorizes and requires US consulates abroad to legalize foreign divorce decrees by giving “full faith and credit” to foreign court signatures. Such legalizations are routinely issued by US embassies in the case of Caribbean divorces.

It should be noted, however, that some US states (most significantly California among them) do not specifically recognize foreign divorces. (That even includes Nevada divorces.) Of course, this law was passed in the public interest and has nothing to do with greedy California lawyers who want all the action for themselves.

In England and Wales, the recognition of a divorce abroad is governed by Part II of the Family Law Act 1986. Section 51(c) of that Act allows English courts to refuse to recognize a divorce abroad. the foreigner as valid if such recognition is manifestly contrary to public order.’ Courts also have the discretion to deny recognition if the divorce was obtained without notice to the other party, which could apply to Haitian divorces.

A quick review shows that this English law has never been tested in court. Thus, although it appears that the English courts have some discretion in refusing to recognize foreign divorces, we can also see that in twenty years none of the thousands of British citizens who have obtained Caribbean divorces have had any legal problems in England because of it. . I stay with my case!

conclusion

Hispaniola courts provide, in many cases, an excellent opportunity to break free from the shackles of marriage, avoiding the tortuously slow divorce proceedings in other countries that can be both financially and emotionally draining. In fact, a few days can mean a new beginning in life. However, this article was intended only as a brief introduction to a complex topic. It is very important that you obtain proper professional advice and read up on this subject before taking any action that may have unintended legal consequences.

Acne is a skin blemish that grown men can usually ignore, but penis acne is definitely something that grown men can simply ignore. Acquiring a pimple near your private location is torture, especially for grown men, simply because, let’s be honest here, most men are sexually active. You definitely don’t want your partner to see your big pimple and feel uncomfortable about it.

Penile acne is similar to the typical acne that breaks out on our faces. It can occur in any aspect of our body, such as our genitals.

According to that, having pimples around your private part can indicate a very important dilemma. Most sexually transmitted diseases manifest as a pimple or lump, identical to herpes.

The following are signs of herpes.

– Itchy blisters appear in the genital region.

– Peeing is painful.

– Red pimple like bumps appear around your penis.

It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention to prevent the infection from worsening or passing nearby. Never push, squeeze or pop your pimples because this can only lead to a much bigger infection and spread it to the unaffected regions.

On the other hand, curing penile acne is simple. Here are some tips on how you can get rid of these embarrassing skin blemishes:

1. Do not rub your penis too much

It’s embarrassing, we all know that, but scrubbing hard to keep that area clean can only make it worse. Also, you will most likely use a non-comedogenic wash, as opposed to standard soap.

2. Don’t POP it

As mentioned above, popping the pimple can only cause more damage and can have an effect on other, uninfected areas.

3. Eat healthy and balanced

From time to time the food we eat makes us much more prone to acne. So you better watch what you’re consuming.

In conclusion, penile acne is similar to any other acne that anyone can have. There is no need to panic when you see these bumps near your genital area. That said, once you experience or notice STD signs or symptoms that accompany your pimples, seek medical help immediately and avoid sexual intercourse to avoid spreading the infection. Having healthy skin and penile acne will be less of worries.
