Deck the Halls with Yuletide Celebration!

As a gifted singer and musician, writing my own music for an album has been a dream of mine. 

My disabling illness has kept me from what I love to do, but no longer. Technology has caught up to me, finally. In so, I have added Albums and Singles to my repertoire on the right-hand menu, as well as Undawnted's seasonal reads program.

The first album is called Yuletide Celebrations (playlist). Many classic and traditional songs are geared toward religions, but for those of us who are spiritual and revere the natural processes, there is little music for us during the holiday season. This album bridges that gap. 

But the original music is for everybody! 

For example, one single off the album has already been released: Deck the Halls. I will be working on actual music videos in the near future. For now, enjoy a representative song for the album: fun, upbeat, and toe-tapper! 

You won't be able to sit still with these re-imaged renditions, new lyrics, and positive vibe!

Have a great and safe holiday season!

DL Mullan has been a musical wonder and performer for decades. 

A teacher noticed her abilities on her dynamic, and technically perfect, first use of the violin at age ten during class. She was rushed into Competitive Orchestra the next school year. 

After switching schools, her junior high music teacher discerned her aptitude in class. As Ms. Mullan played the violin and the school only offered band and choir, she believed her musical calling would go unanswered. Fortunately, the band instructor loved the idea of having a string instrumentalist. DL Mullan was the first violinist invited into the group and seated in the flute section. She spent two years in band, which she became a magnet for other string-playing students, as well as succeeding to second chair. 

High school was a different matter. A violin in a Marching Band was not a match made. Without any background in singing, Ms. Mullan entered the world of choir. During her time in Concert Choir, she taught herself the piano, some drums, and took guitar lessons to expand her aspirations. Upon developing her voice, she discovered that she was an operatic lyric soprano with at least eight octaves at her disposal. She sang in theater productions, graduations, and other activities from high school and throughout college. 

DL Mullan has written music for competitions, competed in talent shows, won an award for her solo singing, as well as maintained her lyricist skills as an award-winning poet. 

Her grandfather was a jazz pianist, and that legacy is also reflected in her pieces.

Clean Up on Isle... Undawnted

I have been doing some housecleaning on this site today, so watch out for old links! 

Blogger used to name pages with numbers, now there has been a change to naming pages after their titles. I worked yesterday and today to re-identify old pages with their actual titles. This revision should allow webcrawlers to index all Undawnted's pages in their correct form. 

I hope this action will increase traffic and allow visitors to find the pages they are looking for more readily. 

Most pages with inconsistencies were replaced except for the Contact page. The new Contact page is here. The old one remains with a notation that the page has been updated and to please bookmark this new one. 

Have a great and wonderful day. 

 

End of the Year Cleanup, Anyone got Spare Change?

New Cover Art 2019

Don't you wish you could have an online blog garage sale?

I am not getting to this. I am not going to do that. I have too much stuff clogging up the system. My virtual closet and under the bed boxes are all filled up. Maybe someone else can use it?

Unfortunately, that is not how it works. So I have been cleaning up my links and reverting to draft areas of my writing path that are on hold until I see if that is where I would like to go in the future.

I want a lean and productive site. What I am working on. What I want to work on.

I feel like a little kid cleaning her room and deciding which toys to keep and what needs go to charity. I am having to make some tough decisions, but good ones to propel me forward. I cannot be bogged down with what could be. I only want what is going to have the most positive and impactful effect. 

My readers and fans have already seen some of the new cover art I have done for 2019. Wait until I get everything said and done. Then I am going have a great New Years... because there will be nothing else to do!

What do you do on your blog or website at the end of the year? 

Have a great and wonderful day!

Undawnted is Now on Minds

Someone on my social media news feed said that he was on Minds. So I went and checked it out. Minds is a social media site that is based on open source materials. 

An interesting experiment. if you would like to join me, then visit me on Minds. 

Seasonal Reads Upgrade

On the right hand menu, Undawnted has created a reading list for each season. So I revised the Summer Reads page to have a revolving page of seasonal entertainment. Let Undawnted help you set the mood for your new adventures.

First up, of course, is my Summer Time Reads. 

Hand-picked reading material for your reading and relaxing pleasure. Each season will be updated throughout the year to make sure my readership has the mood they are looking for at the tip of their fingers. Don't miss out on what inspires you the most.

Enjoy your summer.

Check Out Our New Nonfiction Page

Do you like science or history or literature or the paranormal? 

Our Nonfiction page has something for everyone! Undawnted is excited to present these categories from which I will be publishing booklets and books under these topics. 

With a new publication nearly every month of the year, Undawnted is going to replace our old Writing Portfolio with these PDFs and/or EPUBs. 

We already have made good by publishing the essay about Environmental Illness called Gaslighting and the Environmental Illness Patient in a series dedicated to helping the chronically ill with their newfound circumstances. 

I hope you enjoy all the hard work to make these new possibilities, well, possible! 

 

Upcoming this month!  Uncommon Knowledge.

  

We get all spooky for this autumn with Haunted Arizona! 

Don't forget our chapbook: The Descent too!

Halloween Festivities

Autumn is here and the first of the holidays besides the equinox is Halloween. 

So in celebration of the spooky, Undawnted will be publishing some new and old favorites in compliment to the season. 

Who can resist the pull of the unknown, macabre, and dark? 

Have a great and spooky day!

Domain Change Soon

I have had the www.Undawnted.com domain for awhile and wondered when the right time would be to direct it here.

Well that day has come. I am working with the internet gods to get this change complete. So look for our new address.

Thank you!

Have a great and wonderful day!

A New Life; A New Path

I love my Rune set.

Runes are a great way to figure out where you are on your spiritual journey. I started this blog/website to begin anew. That is what the Runes told me. 

I am to begin a new path.

That is what I like about spiritual divination. I'm not looking for winning lottery numbers, even though that would be nice; I'm seeking knowledge. Knowledge of myself, my path, and the universe.

The Rune I pulled is of completion. My old life, old ways of doing things have come to an end. That is why I have a few projects to do as my priority. Books I need to edit and send out into the publishing world, personal business, and medical issues.

All have culminated into the now.

But I also must ground myself and meditate. Free from external and negative influences, I will prevail.

Positive energy, humor are my guides now. I wonder if the universe means I should watch more Jeff Dunham or Lewis Black? Hmm...

Have a great and wonderful day!

Updates

I love it when there's a glitch and then you get dropped. Awesome. And, it wasn't even my glitch!

Oh, well, so we are back to updating the blog/website. Watch our dust.

Have a great and wonderful day!
