GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity

GoldenHeart II follows my first GoldenHeart Series book, GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity. If you want to understand why you don’t love yourself more, how to be a lovable and loving person, or how to step into your purpose for being with a love mission you were born to create, GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity is the book for you! Fourteen optional Bible studies are in the book’s appendix — and all are about love!

BirthRight: Galak’s Rising, an epic dystopian fantasy

Seen as a fast-paced movie in the author’s mind, BirthRight: Galak’s Rising is about two strong young women who face overwhelming odds against an evil cyborg in a future devastated by a technological war. BirthRight has a large cast of characters that battle against a foe with swordplay, martial arts, and a few wacky surprises. If you like action adventure-science fiction fantasy with a little romance and humor, you’ll enjoy this maverick SFF e-book, paperback, and upcoming audiobook, narrated by Christina with parts read by six people!

Inspirational Self-Help: GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity

By Christina Goebel

GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity is an inspiration manual for how humans love.

This self-help book provides strategies for you to love yourself, others, and the world.

Deprogram your self-hatred, discouragement, and deserted dreams.

Reprogram your mind to love yourself again

Why do you hate yourself sometimes?

Understand how society discourages us from living up to our potential. The first section of GoldenHeart addresses self-hatred.

Through fun self-quizzes and other activities, learn your strengths, and develop a life plan.

How do I love others better so they love me more too?

Ample examples of kindness in GoldenHeart show you how to give and receive love in amazing ways.

By developing an understanding of self-love and how to care for others, you will gain a mindfulness that will guide you to your GoldenHeart—why you are here and how to draft a plan to fulfill your loving purpose.

Creating an action plan

GoldenHeart is an action plan. Learn about examples of others who have made the world a better place so you will have a better idea of what you might do.

The Fellowship of the GoldenHeart

A short story by the same name introduces the value of using what gifts we have with the world. Meet Buck, an unlikely hero who becomes Golden Heart. Readers will receive an invitation to earn membership in the Fellowship of the GoldenHeart—which will challenge you to own your fabulous destiny.

Optional complementary Bible studies

Every chapter of GoldenHeart: How to Love Humanity has an interdenominational companion Bible study in the Appendix that examines all the facets of love in an exciting new way you may have never seen.

Unique in every way

GoldenHeart blends poetry, a short story, an essay, and parables into the narrative to creatively engage you while you get answers for your most important questions. Illustrative quotes help you get the most out of your reading while enjoying the visual experience.

GoldenHeart II: We Are Your Family

GoldenHeart II: We Are Your Family was inspired by a Beatles’ song. Christina realized that not everyone receives loving life lessons from family. Orphans and foster children may live their lives within a system, be fostered or adopted by someone who doesn’t love them like their own child, or grow up feeling they missed something vital to survive and thrive.

We Are Your Family is a family in a book for people who need one

Once she began drafting We Are Your Family, she felt that more voices and lessons were needed to create a family in a book for the reader. She invited other authors to write this forever book companion that the reader pulls close to his or her heart during some of life’s greatest challenges. With a loving family, we can overcome our challenges with courage and achieve our greatest potential to love others and the world with all our hearts.

Thirty-six international authors dedicate their hearts to yours

Christina collaborated with thirty-five other writers from fifteen countries to produce We Are Your Family, with voices meant for the world. Anyone who craves companionship and compassion with loving lessons is not only welcome to enjoy our book–they belong.

Science Fiction Fantasy: BirthRight: Galak’s Rising

An illustrated dystopian epic fantasy

By Christina Goebel

Illustrations by Kent Burles

In the dystopian novel Birth Right: Galak’s Rising, the cruel cyborg Galak demands that Valki teen twins compete for their freedom–the Birthright.

The courage of two young Valki women to resist Galak’s law pits princes, kings, and mighty warriors against a merciless and powerful foe.

Christina Goebel’s GoldenHeart Blog

While sharing with thousands of writers at Twitter, now X, I discovered several things that will help authors expand their platforms to ensure real growth. The writing community at X is loving and supportive. They are generous too, opting to share your pinned tweet, which most authors use to advertise their books. Unfortunately, I noted many of their tweets gain few likes or retweets, which translates into less promotion for their work. They deserve more credit and traction for their books.

In light of many recent webinar training I attended, I realized that few authors have a well-rounded platform of the type that will get them attention. They tweet about their books. A lot of writers have great videos and reviews that they share. Fewer showcase quotes from their work–as if social proof is more important than the language in their work. I’m not too sure about that.

I don’t think a lot of us have understood how X functions. People go there to socialize or gather some news. They don’t visit X to purchase things. It’s not a store. It’s difficult to encourage a person to leave an app to make a purchase when that wasn’t their intention. While authors market their books with tweets or posts on other social media, that doesn’t automatically lead to sales conversions (purchases of their books).

If you’re an author, verify what I’m saying by examining a tweet where you included a link to purchase your book. At the bottom of the tweet, select “View post activity.” Now, note the number of impressions. This is how many people at least had the tweet within their possible view. Engagements include how many times users clicked anywhere on the post, including links. If you don’t have engagements, you lack link follows and purchases.

If you’re self-published, or with the gracious support of your publisher, you can track sales or free downloads after you post tweets about your book. This is easiest when you haven’t had sales or if you are publishing a new work.

We should all pay attention to any data we can gather to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing and sales. Certainly, data helps. We need more too. We need to develop well-rounded campaigns that use an array of tools to inform the world of who we are and the works we have produced.

I’ll share more on this topic soon and what I decided to do to change the odds for the X writing community.
