Chance or Destiny?
Posted on January 27, 2014
‘So is it destiny…’ I ask, turning around in the elevator, ‘the way our lives turn out in the end… or is it chance?’
Josh looks directly into my eyes. ‘What do you think?’
‘I’m not sure… but something tells me we just might make our own destiny in life.’
Josh smiles approvingly as the doors begin to shut in front of me.
‘Hey Noah…’
I press a button, and the doors open again.
‘I’ll be here if you need me,’ he states reassuringly.
‘Yeah. Somehow I always knew,’ I say, nodding my head with a subtle smile, feeling as if I’ve known him my whole life. ‘I just never admitted it… until now.’
— Sebastian Cole, Sand Dollar: A Story of Undying Love
Perception
Posted on January 27, 2014
“Oh, and one more thing: If I try something that I’ve never done before, something that’s particularly difficult for me, and it doesn’t work out, that doesn’t make it a failure. The fact that I actually succeeded in finishing it makes it a huge success. Think of all the people who never even try…”
— Sebastian Cole, Sand Dollar: A Story of Undying Love

Happy New Year from Sebastian Cole
Posted on December 26, 2013
2013 was a thrilling year for me. I sold about 9,000 SAND DOLLAR: A Story of Undying Love eBooks this year (which was about 8,999 more than I sold the year before, ha), gave away over 107,000 eBooks in a week, and received over 300 reviews on Amazon!
I’m excited for bigger and better things to come in 2014. I’m finally starting to write my second book. Yay! (Better late than never, right?) The Portuguese version of SAND DOLLAR is due out in Portugal in February. (I can’t wait to see it!) And I look forward to spending the upcoming year with all of the online friends I’ve made.
May the new year be a good year for us, filled with health, happiness, perhaps a dream or two coming true, and most of all, may it be filled with love.
– Sebastian 🙂
