Location Isn't Anything
Location Isn't Anything is my latest novel. I am still working on it and have not established a release date.
The novel contains ideas of what we desire, have and are willing to do to get it. It also touches on trust within a community.
This one is taking me a bit of time and I refuse to rush myself on it because I believe people will be able to relate to the subjects.

Sadness of Reality
Lately, we all hear about a mass shooting nearly daily. Yesterday, a guy killed many at a small church in Texas and injured nearly all. Today, I read the ages of those killed and saw 18 months. I cannot understand anyone taking their anger out on a child as young as 18 months. I do not condone violence on children, but find 18 months truly heinous. This child just learned to walk, still worked on learning to speak and had no concept of the dangers of society.
The shooter was also a parent. His child was safe with the mother. How the hell do you do this? I have been very angry at a great many, but they deserved my anger, not an innocent 18 month old child at the same location. What he did solves nothing. Instead, creates a larger problem. Idiot could not even watch after his own life to fix his issues. Instead, he commits the crime of a coward.
Hell is waiting!

A Small Brief Step Away From Romance
I am now working on a book unlike others I published. The book offers humor and odd insights of the feline world throughout my life. I was not sure there was enough material, but I only wrote for a week so far and have 120 pages. So, we shall see how Feline Moments progresses.
I plan to release within the first quarter of 2018.

Into 2016
Hope all had a wonderful holiday season. I basically took a vacation without leaving home. So basically, no YouTube videos, no blogging, very little tweets on Twitter and more time simply relaxing.
Now, it's time to get back to work. I shall continue promoting The Strive for Life and Love, YouTube messages about Multiple Sclerosis, blog about various things, tweet about whatever comes to mind and work on next novel.
Well, until something else comes up, you know what I am working on. Wishing you a productive year as well!

The Strive for Love and Life
The second novel is complete. One publisher made an offer. However, I am still waiting to hear from two others. If none look well, then I shall do it myself.
Very interesting tale of Nicholas Blackstone and his new life in France. By the way, he misses his sister, but Christine Cardone does take his mind from the pain.

The Not So Good Review
Okay,read my first bad review of an excerpt of With Loyalty Came Love. The first chapter was presented for preview. Twenty-six people read it, but only one left a review.
I read the review and wanted to cry as it was one star and stated the work had too many mixed tense.
However, I looked at what they read and realized she is correct. I remember that I wrote down to fix what she spoke of and thought I had done so. Yet, I am mistaken as that preview does have mix tense.
So, I put up the next chapter and invited criticism. Its my first novel and I am working better on the second.
