Back on Goodreads and back to writing, and hopefully publishing.
I need my fans, old and new, to boost my confidence, as I start over again.
The reason for my long absence can be chalked up to...well, life!
I have a large family and most live on our property, in South Georgia, Cow Creek Farm. No, we don't farm, and no, we no longer have cows. The name is derived from a creek called "Cow" that flows through our property.
OK, enough about me. I want to hear about you--what you're reading, maybe writing. Or just what you are doing nowadays.
Love, Janice

A woman waiting for the execution of a man who brutally murdered her family. A little flat, would have thought there would have been more emotion and passion especially if this is a true story.

Really just a short Kindle story, this brief telling of the horrific murder and a family witnessing a killer's execution really offers no insight or enlightenment.

This is why sort stories annoy me. No closure.

free kindle download. Worth it, though a little flat.
