Freebie’s for this week on Amazon

I skipped a freebie week, so we’re once again doing a double up:

The e-books for: “Are You Happy” and “Desert Rose” will be free for this week from Amazon.

Are You Happy” is kind of a depressing delve into the madness mind of Stephen Thomas and his “guardians’: the Elvin princess Ayle and a grim reaper-in-training who never makes it, “Skully”. The reader is asked to ponder if they’re a part of Stephen’s broken psyche or if they indeed exist.

Free ebooks for the first week of June

I am setting the “the twins’ as free on Amazon for the first week in June.

“A Change Would Do You Good” and “the best damn thing” were written at about the same time and both take place in Alabama. “Change” is set on the shores of Orange Beach while Prattville hosts the plotline for “tbdt”. Both are bitter stories…but one ends on a happy note that has allowed me to try to think of a follow-up story.

Both will be available to free for Kindle on 6/2/2023 to 6/5/2023.

"Virtually Yours" is on hiatus for now

E7D7DCC8-67A7-45C2-A27F-71EA77B7C445.jpeg

Due to a house fire yesterday, I regretfully must place all of my WIP's on hiatus until I can work out the insurance adjusters and so forth.

The house sustained more smoke and soot damage but due to the cause of the fire power has been cut. We are in a hotel at the present time. I hope to get back to posting soon.

Thank you.

Working on sequel to a book. Gas-lighting question

I spent a lot of yesterday trying to piece together a “meeting of the minds” between Jennifer Monroe and Travis Miller. Travis was one of the guys who left her for dead on the side of road in Missoula, Montana. Three years later, she returns to Missoula to confront her past tormentor:

I want to know if this is a good example of “gas-lighting”:

“It Can Only Go Up From Here”
Chapter 8 “Not Just a Girl” (snippet)

Requesting a favor and status update

I would like to request if I could have anyone take a quick read through some of the chapters of “A Cracker Barrel Christmas”. I am trying to clean up some edits as I want to submit the book to the local Cracker Barrel locations in my area BUT, I want to make sure that the story holds and is believable. The book is on the site, divided by chapters.

Health Update

Went to the doctor the other day (finally, I know) and received news that I expected: probable heart valve failure.
I'm on a few types of medications for it...but, there has been a bit of a build up of pain to my left side. I'm not going panic as much because, perhaps it is a side effect to what i'm having to take.

Anyway, I'm supposed to have a few tests this week, so we will see what happens.
Until then, I regret, I do not have the focus to work on any of my WIPs...sorry.

Health concerns

I've been informed that I have aortic stenosis but no one is sure how long I have had it. This does explain the feelings of being tired and having little strength to do anything strenuous (or simply walking for more than a few minutes)
I don't know really why I'm posting this here. Maybe just to get it out of my head. For now, I have to we if i can get an appointment with a cardiologist.

A Cracker Barrel Christmas

(Yes, I am one of those people who welcomes the Christmas season the day after Halloween)

“A Cracker Barrel Christmas” takes place in a small town in Western Tennessee and focuses on Nicole Armitage, the youngest of the family, and the one who is caught in the middle of all of the arguments the family has every Christmas. This year, her oldest—and self-proclaimed hero of the town—brother is bringing his family home for the holidays and Nikki dreads having to defend her life.

Chapter titles are based on songs by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
