The Roll Out

I’ve been extremely busy with a new job, move, and basically new life.

But I wanted to let my readers know that I am planning to put out my novelette, The Rocky Retreat, and my novella, Behind the Stone House, before Christmas. Since the novelette is fairly short, it will only be in eBook format, and will be available at the usual online venues: Amazon, B&N, BAM, Walmart, The Tattered Cover Bookstore, etc. Behind the Stone House will be available in both print and eBook form.

To give you an idea of these storylines, I’ve dropped the blurbs below.

The Rocky Retreat (Political Satire/Humor)

Environmentalist Callie and her best friend go on a save-the-wetlands-and-wildlife retreat in a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains. During those four days, Callie and her friend encounter much more than altitude, jagged peaks, sparkling rivers, and welcoming townspeople. On the contrary, adversaries of all stripes litter their vacation with protest clashes, chemically-laden products, and dangerous weapons. While Callie and her friend fight for the survival of the wetlands and wildlife, will they survive the retreat?

Behind the Stone House (Women’s Fiction/Suspense)

Grieving widow Gabrielle discovers her deceased husband’s cousin Jordan is homeless. While navigating through her painful loss, she feels compelled to help him. But amid her good intentions stands a belligerent homeless man hunting down Jordan for a past wrong. Gabrielle swallows her fear and focuses on aiding Jordan, giving her a new purpose in life. But will she take that new purpose too far?

Updates on publishing dates will follow in the coming weeks!

Thanks, John, for the wonderful interview!

Folks, it seems I was channeling Ray Charles through this interview with all my nodding and swaying. LOL Must just be a nervous thing. So, try not to get dizzy in the parts where you might be watching me in this interview. Ha ha! Anyway, excellent questions by John! He’s a pro!

If you’re looking for a deep and engrossing story with relatable, complex characters, pick up a copy of my newest novel, What She Didn’t Know, on Amazon, B&N, or other online retailers. Dive into a substantial read today.

Newest 5-star review:

What She Didn’t Know is a well-written story about three sisters who emerge from childhoods marked by trauma and dysfunction to become adults with very distinctive personalities. The author does a wonderful job of creating each character as a unique individual with both strengths and weaknesses. This is a story of relationships, forgiveness, and reconciliation which all end up bringing the reader to the explosive secret that both shocks and heals the family – what she didn’t know. The author’s ability to create a scene with her vivid descriptions brings the story to life in a wonderful way. I truly enjoyed this book and found myself not wanting to put it down, anxious to see what happened on the next page!
