The Mentors in Bombadil Publishing: a big part of us!

In the magnificent and marvellous world of book writing, the writers do the main work. Our young writers get inspiration and write onto the paper (or computer), giving the world a legacy for future generations. And the messages from youth to youth are in many ways a part of the new way to find a better world, an optimistic world there the young people are working together, transferring their ideas to each other by writing books with us at Bombadil Publishing.

At Bombadil Publishing we get our books out all over the world in a new and productive way since the young writers work together with our mentors throughout the entire process.

Our mentors are there all the time for the young writers, to help them to get a better vision, a better literary form, to get feedback, for inspiration. Our mentors are the final link helping to assure the quality is excellent in all ways, without in anyway losing the initial gist of the story and the soul of the author.

We at Bombadil Publishing have a lot of magnificent mentors in several countries around the world, in India, USA, Canada, England, Sweden, Spain, Chile, El Salvador and Peru, to mention just a few. Every mentor has our philosophy very clear, the Bombadil Publishing’s philosophy, which is to help the young people to give their messages of hope and faith of a better world to other young people around the world. Our mentors work together to help achieve this better world. YOUT2YOUTH

It´s getting dark now.

Sweden is truly a beautiful country with great nature and magnificent scenery; we have got considerable lakes and majestic forests, open fields and maybe not the highest of mountains but still a few hills to “climb”.

As a Swede I am proud of the variety my country has to offer and the fact that the very soul of Sweden can be found where ever you decide to go in our tall country which form Sweden; in the south you´ll find it like a whirlwind across open fields, in the midlands it is sneaking around in the deep woods and drizzle in little brooks, in the north you´ll explore the absolute face of nature with the northern lights.

There are though a few disappointing details about Sweden too... For example it can get very dark up here, and it does get really dark. Right now, 5 pm Swedish time (1+ GMT) it´s already pitch dark, about a month ago the sun was still up at this time, but during autumn the amount of sun hours decries very rapidly, unfortunately. In the very north of Sweden during winter the sun will barely go up in the middle of the day before it decides to “call it a day” and go down again. Although during summer there are several days when the sun won´t go down at all. And this is what I can´t stand about my so beautiful country; darkness. What´s the point with a astonishing nature if no one can see it anyway? The dark time of the year stretches from the end of September to sometime in March, normally and I´m now referring to the part of Sweden where I live, which is the sort of southern west coast, around Gothenburg. In other places in Sweden it will be different. The lack of sun can make you depressed since you do not get as much C-vitamin from the sun as needed and just the darkness itself can bring your mood down, surprised? Although the autumn/winter sometimes shows a nice side to it too, with snow and ice, and it redecorate our woods to dramatic white landscapes and fields turn into to snow white canvas, truly stunning. But that is if it´s bright enough to see it of course. =D

The sky has no limits!

One of Bombadils coming titles which in Swedish is called "Spelarnas baksidor" is a book about baking, but not just baking, it is also a book about football players! Maria and Sofia, twin sisters has together contacted Swedish elite players and asked them "What is your favourite cake recipe?", then they have baked which ever cake the football player has chosen and after that, photographed it and put it all together with recipe, photograph, facts about and a picture of the player.

They liked baking, and they liked football and thought to themselves "why not combine these two worlds?" When Maria and Sofia first came to Bombadil we thought exactly the same thing: "Yeah, why not". We are all surrounded by prejudgment views, there are always someone thinking something about the way we look or the interests we have got. The stereotypical man likes football and the stereotypical woman likes baking, for example. At least this was the old stereotypes, I pray that these conservative views are fading away as they seem to, because they are far from correct! Maria and Sofia are great examples of that; they love both baking and football, as they should. No stereotypes are holding them back from doing what they want to do; a baking book including football players, and instead of keeping those two worlds apart, they combine them.

So start breaking down the stereotypes and do what you feel like doing, but foremost, be who you want to be; the sky has no limits.

"here comes the sun"

In Sweden the autumn is now in full bloom, the trees are turning deep red and orange, the air is clear and the knitting season has finally begun!

...on a good day, if autumn in Sweden would always be like it is today, autumn defenitely would be my favourite season! Today the sky is blue, sun is shining and the air smells newborn, it´s a perfect day to go for a long walk and enjoy life. Unfortunately this is not always the case when it comes to Swedish fall I´m afraid. Most of the time it´s raining, raining and raining, and the wind blows right through you not taking in consideration how much clothes you are wearing.

But not today, today the Swedish autumn is smiling and letting us enjoy it´s best sides, so i do my best to appreciate it! Too often I spend my time complaining about how bad the weather is, or how crap my car is or anything really, that is annoying me. Thing is, I sort of realized that one shall not forget to appreciate, so I have decided to appreciate the wonderful weather today and remeber this beutiful day and keep that memory close so it can keep me warm on rainy days when the world seems to have turned it´s back on me.

Just like I keep in mind that beutiful red rose that Christof had put on my kitchen table when I came home and was so tired that I barely had any energy left, I keep that in mind those days when I think things are too hard and that warm memory will brighten up my mind.

I will start to appreciate life a bit more, so should we all.

Fika on Friday

Today we went for Fika at Siggebohyttans Bergsmansgård, just up the road from Gyttorp.



Ulla showed us around and fed us with coffee and cakes until we couldn't really move.



The buildings date from the 18th century. They make their own cakes and brew their own coffee. Maybe they should spend more time weeding the roof, but the cakes were excellent, so on balance I think it was time well spent.

Bombadil is very excited to meet these two young writers and put into their very own hands their finished books, to present them with their crowning work, a magnificent work provided by the Bombadil feelings, the feeling which is growing and growing.

The power of the pen has become the power of the computer!

I always wondered about the power of the pen. I’m old fashioned and I wanted to become an author when I was very young, when I wrote with a pen on paper. I did not succeed then, but instead I learned that a pen in the right, or the wrong, hands is powerful. But when I read a poem where the writer wrote that the pen is more powerful than all the weapons together in the world, I got confused.

I asked my uncle, who was a Medical Doctor, about this matter; my uncle very kindly explained to me that I could imagine the worst war in the world - I thought about WWII. My uncle told me that before the war started, Hitler signed a document that declared war on Poland. So Hitler took a pen to sign the document, that means that the worst war in the world needed a pen to start it.

But recently when a young boy from Mexico wrote to me, he wrote about the tragedy of the war, and he told me that he wanted to use the pen to express his dissension with the weapons, and of course, the war. All the wars.

I agreed with this young boy and I exhorted him to write about this matter and I told him “well, its time to get yours hands to the work, hands to the pen and write.” He answered me: “No Melvin, its time to get my hands to the computer,” and then he added, “this is the modern way, the Bombadil way.” I just smiled and I thought “I am really an old fashioned guy.”

The inspiration is Contagious!

Last Monday, a girl from Venezuela wrote about her feelings when she read our home page on the internet; she said that she has a dream to write a book for several years. Despite her early older, she is 19 years old, and when she read, as she wrote to me, was she contagious of all the things she find in Bombadil Publishing home page and then she get inspired.

She promised to me to come back later with her "fantastic history", she will prepare and organize her "chaos" as she said. Well, I was very happy and was inspired myself from this girl, I felt like when I first fell in love back in the seventies, that feeling; which is difficult for me to explain; it took me like a hurricane deep in my soul, this happiness was transmitted to me directly from this young girl's note and I became "contagious" too. As well as this Venezuelan girl, there are many other young people around the world too who are writing their books together with a Bombadil mentor, and they get “contagious” too, well, I mean inspired, this is the new way around the world - the young people meet together, in a sociable way through writing, through books, through Bombadil Publishing. What a feeling! Youth 2 Youth!
