I enjoy reading about myself, er, other people, lol. Seriously, though, with as many personality tests out there, we ought to take at least a few to identify our traits and better accommodate our existence in this world. If you haven’t guessed, I’m a proponent for individual understanding and discovery to better fit into roles more fitting for us. I mean, I don’t like feeling forced into a box. I’m sure very few do. And yet, I hear, way too often, how unhappy some people are in their current mass-fitted jobs, situations, etc. None of us were meant to conform to box standards. God is a creative, in fact, the Creator. Of us. And no two of us are alike. We are gifted with divergent traits, abilities, interests, perspectives, and coping methods. Wouldn’t it be beneficial to really understand how we’re each wired and where we really should strive to be, what we really should strive to do in life?
 
Until I learned, years ago, that I am in a personality group comprised of less than 1% of the population, I often felt lost, not seeming to fit in to a lot of different environments. Makes sense now, and I’ve since joined an empowering Christian support group for those with the same personality type (support groups exist, even for us odd birds!). That is, according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: INFJ - “The Advocate.” (If you’re an Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging person, too, here is a helpful link for more information about that:

Directly below, you’ll find a link to a personality test I find fascinatingly accurate, at least it was for me. You can spend twelve minutes test-taking and then read forty-something pages about yourself! Fun, right?

Well, I’ll leave you to it. For your pleasure (for those who like classic rock, anyway), here is music and video with a fine display of diverse personalities, for sure. 😊 Enjoy.

DANCE THROUGH THE DARK, a Christian Paranormal/Supernatural Romance is offered FREE until 10/26/17. So, if you might like to read this genre-specific EBook, pick up your copy at Amazon.  

Elyse Magellan auditions at a dance conservatory for the elite. Privileged she is not, and so presses on by sheer determination, talent—and hopefully a great deal of luck—to get into the prestigious school and resident company. But nothing overwhelms her more than the aristocratic Gabriel Krist – the school’s accompanist and concert pianist. Not only does he possess a compelling demeanor, he looks like a god, an angel pale and beautiful. He’d like to possess her, but is it for love or something else? What others in the wings say about him is a shrouded story. His promiscuous reputation has Elyse, the innocent, on edge. That’s not the only thing that troubles her. Gabriel is…different. Something dark resides in him. She doesn’t know what it is, this thing that urges her to run, yet she can’t seem to pull away. At the same time, Gabriel is desperate for someone to find even a flicker of goodness in his cursed and heartless soul. Dare he lead this young fawn in his irreparable dance through the dark? Or does she possess the wherewithal to lead him out of the shadows and into light? One choice changes everything.

One of my personal favorites in The Brother's Keep novella series, Wind's Aria,  has been rereleased and offered at a lower price. So, if you have not yet read this story, grab yourself a copy. You won't be disappointed if you like romantic, lyrical, allegorical fantasy. This also happens to be novella #1, the launch in the 8-novella series - so, it's a good place to start. Here is a recap of the overview:

​I love it when a story grips, giving a lasting effect, don’t you? I’ve just finished reading, The Blood Gospel, another influential book added to my personal favorites list. The plot is heavy yet thrilling with a clever tie-in of history to fiction. Archeology, religion, prophecy, legend, mystery, symbolism, and good versus evil – I thoroughly enjoyed this loaded book. It was a thought-provoking trip from realism to paranormal, and an adventure from Israel to Rome, to Germany, Russia, and back. I’d also found the dark yet noble Hungarian Sanguinist priest, Rhun Korza, undeniably appealing. I’m going to have to read the next in the series and have already ordered a copy.

​Next, Strindberg’s Star, I’d read last year – and I still think about the novel. There is something within it haunting me. I’ve never read a more peculiar yet intriguing book that I seemed to understand completely. The author, Jan Wallentin, wrote in a postscript, “In the few places where the novel diverges from reality, it’s the reality that ought to change.” This novel was so entirely engrossing I didn’t always know which was which, reality or fantasy, nor did I care. That’s a great book!
 
Happy reading of your favorites; May you discover many more books to add to your personal list – maybe even one of mine.

Please meet my New Adult, Paranormal Romance, Speculative, angsty novel written from a Biblical Worldview (if that is not a mouthful). Freshly published.
