New Book Release from Tilton House Press – To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday

November 12, 2021 By TiltonHousePress

Tilton House Press announces the release of To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday. This is Sunday’s sixth book and third poetry collection.

Book Description

If you could change your life and live how you want to live, would you dare do it? Even though others seek to convince you to stay the same.

These soul-searching questions were the catalyst for this thought-provoking and inspiring book, To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday. In her third poetry collection, Sunday ponders these questions during her search for her authentic self while defending her humanity from the invasive nature of digital technology.

Sunday’s poetry reflects a new awareness gained after peeling away layers of obsolete conditioning. For Sunday, nature offers solace, inspiration, and mental space for self-discovery. Her love of the outdoors is evident in the book’s nature-themed poems, which provide subtle wisdom from her observations. While contemplating questions about life and what you seek to achieve, Sunday’s poems and writings offer guidance for finding the courage to be you.

To Be Human – Always is available at online retailers and independent bookstores. For media inquiries and speaking appearances, please contact Ann Wilson, Ms. Sunday’s assistant at info at dillon 5 dot com.

Updates to Proper Grey Areas by Tiffany Sunday

August 30, 2021 By Tiffany Sunday

On Thursday, August 26, 2021, Tilton House Press released an updated version of Proper Grey Areas. Back in April during a promo, a couple of readers noticed a couple of pesky typos that only show up after the book has gone to print.

My editing team, review again and made the corrections. I also tweak some of the administrative copy in the book as well. The beauty of print on demand is that we can make these updates almost effortlessly.

Proper Grey Areas Book Review

For poetry fans, Proper Grey Areas is a modern accessible collection of poetry.

A recent review from Lone Star Literary Life, reviewer – Melissa A. Bartell.

“Sunday’s work isn’t fussy or flowery. Most of her pieces are blank verse, written in clean, clear phrases full of truth and honesty, but that doesn’t mean her work isn’t vivid. “Darken veins/cross the sky,/various shapes reaching upward/from the earth,” she writes in a poem called “Winter Trees” and the picture is clear: the spindly leaf-bare branches stretching toward a sun that provides too little warmth.

While many of these poems are on the lighter side, or at least neutral, a few are visceral. “Hidden Truth” looks at the aftermath of domestic violence and hints at repeated patterns, for example, while “Pawn Store,” which has also been adapted into a song gives us the picture of a single mother in need.

Overall, this is a really satisfying poetry collection, capturing the many moods of pandemic lockdown, but going beyond that to look at life in general.”

Proper Grey Areas is available from independent bookstores, Barnes & Noble, and online retailers.

Calling Your Spirit Back

November 4, 2020 By Tiffany Sunday

Two weeks ago, as I was completing Proper Grey Areas, I felt something was missing for the editors. I was frustrated that I didn’t feel whole as a writer, poet, and author. The burden of doing what others thought I should be doing weighted heavy. Each morning during my runs, I mentally wrestled with the problem.

Each morning, I searched for answers in the highlighted passages in two of my favorite books, Sacred Contracts, and the Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss. 

Reaching into the dark corner of my soul, I was blocked by my ego, which served as a gatekeeper, as I, once again encountered fear.  I kept thinking about what would I have done differently in the past if fear had not been part of the equation.  Fear of what others think, fear of the results, fear of not receiving approval, or fear of success of fully using my creativity. 

As the weeks passed, my soul, heart, and mind joined together on the same path as my intuition continued to push me. I reached a point where I could no longer accept negative inherited family habits and beliefs.  At a crossroads, I had to make a choice. I could continue to allow fear to hold me captive or call my spirit back.

As Myss writes in Anatomy of the Spirit, “What drains your spirit drains your body. What fuels your spirit fuels your body. The power that fuels our bodies, our minds, and our hearts does not originate in our DNA. Rather, it has roots in Divinity itself.”

Working to call my spirit back, my intuition and soul were screaming – write books that fully utilize creativity. My creativity, the core of my soul, needed to be set free, released from my imagined fear.  My intuition whispered let go, write what you want to write. With the suddenness of a Texas blue northern my creative energy return.

With a recharged creative battery, I join the National Novel Writing Month contest this month with the goal of writing a holiday fun romance book.  My soul wore a party hat for a couple of days while I prepared to write a Christmas novel I want to write.

Last week, I read 12 Days of Christmas, by Debbie Macomber, in preparation of writing a holiday novel. The book’s main character, Julia Padden blogs about her kindness experiment. I liked Macomber’s idea of blogging about the process. Along with writing a holiday / Christmas novel, I will be writing about the book, the food cooked by the characters and other holiday goodies.

In September, I hired a new website company and we’re working to add a newsletter signup form. In January, I am launching a monthly newsletter.

For now, use the email info at dillon 5 dot com to sign up for my newsletter and book updates.

With gratitude,

Tiffany
