Strength in the Face of Adversity



Strength is very hard to maintain in the face of adversity. It is even harder to find it once it’s lost.

Adversity comes in many forms – be it physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, or social. It is hard to keep your strength through one kind of adversity, and even harder still when all these forms come together. 

Whatever adversity you are facing, there are ways to make sure that you stay strong through them.


  • Keep your eyes on your goal. Adversity is one huge distraction. Difficult, but still just a distraction. “Keep your eyes on the prize,” as the saying goes, and it’s not just a cute rhyme. If your goal is something that you really want to happen, then you would draw strength from that fact. You would take on whatever challenges are thrown your way to make sure that your goal is achieved.
  • Seek support from your loved ones. Support from your loved ones, both friends and family, will give you that extra push to stay strong. If you are alone in adversity, it would be very easy to just give up. However, if there are people supporting you, it would be very tough to tell them that you’ve let them down.
  • Believe in yourself. This is probably the most important thing that you can do. Adversity comes and goes, as does in every person’s life. This is what defines people – how they handle the toughest times that are sent their way. If you continue to believe in yourself, if you continue to work hard, and if you continue to keep your eyes on your goal as you receive support from your loved ones, your strength in the face of adversity will never waver.


“Storm Clouds Rolling In” by Ginny Dye is a story of a woman whose strength is tested in the face of adversity – and in this historical fiction novel, adversity comes in the form of the Civil War.

The Guardian of Genghis Khan's Tomb: New Historical Fiction Novel Unearths Fictional Secret of Great Khan’s Empire.

- Press Release - 

 


For Immediate Release

Valrico, FL – Even though he died almost nine hundred years ago, the legacy of Genghis Khan has always remained very much alive. With both his life and death capturing the attention of audiences young and old, a gripping new novel by Michael B. Hickland is about to become as timeless as the Great Khan himself.

‘TheGuardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb’ is a unique historical fiction novel that focuses on the Emperor’s post-life influence.

Synopsis:

Since 1227, finding the Tomb of Genghis Khan has been the obsession of tyrants, adventurers and treasure hunters. All have failed to find it. It is a Genghis Khan fact that, looking at a map today, he had conquered a geographic area which would include 30 countries and 3+ billion people. The legend says that, in order to keep his tomb’s location secret, Genghis Khan slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of his captives after they had been forced to dig his burial site.

He had amassed untold wealth with enormous quantities of jewels, gold and silver from his conquests that are believed to be buried with him. So why hasn’t his crypt been found in almost eight hundred years? In The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb, the Great Conqueror extracts a sacred oath from a special advisor. It binds both this trusted counsellor and his family forever to protect the tomb and the most immense treasure ever known. Now, in a remote Asian river valley, a beautiful English scientist’s chance discovery of an ancient artifact tied directly to Genghis Khan ignites a furious race among China, Russia and the United States to find that crypt.

The stakes are huge, putting the young woman along with her American sponsor at the centre of the confrontation. Can The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb manage to keep the grave site safe and his beloved country, a fledgling democracy, from being overrun? Or will war break out between the world’s Superpowers? Michael B. Hickland’s e-novel is a fast paced historical fiction thriller full of turns and twists.

As the author explains, his narrative will appeal to an eclectic audience.

“Like Ken Follett, Dan Brown, Cussler action with Indiana Jones/Lara Croft thrown in? You'll love this ebook. It’s a story that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Hang onto your hats!” says Hickland.

Since its release, rave reviews have been flooding in from around the nation.

“Well written, excellent characters and an amazing story will keep you turning page after page. You'll both be anxious to get to the end and dreading it because you won't want the story to end,” commented one reader, reviewing the book on Amazon.

Another reader, Valerie, was equally as impressed – “I adore books such as this and this book delivers with a great tale of a powerful leader, his hidden treasure, an ancient protector with three world powers all after the same prize over generations!”

With demand for the book increasing, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies as soon as possible.
