COVER REVEAL FOR MY NEWEST BOOK

Hey Everyone,

About a Week ago, I sent out post saying I was writing the final chapters to my full-length sequel to my Christmas novella, Twas the Night. Well, I finished the book (my 28th Novel), and the Ending provided the Inspiration for a Totally Different Title than what we were thinking.

Today, I’m doing the COVER REVEAL for the new book, called: What’s Best For Them. It’s being edited right now, and we plan to release it on Amazon (on Kindle, in print, and on Kindle Unlimited), OCTOBER 28TH. Less than 5 weeks from now.

Here’s the Book Summary that will show on Amazon beside the Cover (back cover blurb):

An amazing, heart-tugging sequel to Dan’s bestselling novel, Twas The Night. It’s 1963, a new year has just begun. What’s Best For Them picks up the story of newly-orphaned Ransom and his sister, Emma, trying to adjust to small town life in Black Rock. This after spending the entirety of their lives growing up in the woods. While things in their new home with Theresa are going very well, almost nothing outside the home is. Deputy Bud Ellison steps in to help Theresa but challenges are springing up from almost every direction. Her family’s objections, bullies—even at church, a rigid school system unwilling to bend, and the worst and potentially most dangerous challenge is this lingering stranger who keeps visiting Black Rock diner, asking all kinds of questions about the kids.

Fans of Twas The Night, as well as The Unfinished Gift, What Follows After—and all of Dan’s novels reviewers so often compared to Nicholas Sparks and Richard Paul Evans—will absolutely love What’s Best For Them.

In case you haven’t read the first book (and want to read it before the new one comes out), here’s the Link:

Hope You’ll Love it (my wife thinks you absolutely will).

Growing Old With Indy

Yesterday afternoon, my wife and I watched the new Indiana Jones movie: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. 

I really liked it. To me, the first one (Raiders of the Lost Ark) was the best of all. Didn’t like the 2nd, at all (Temple of  Doom), then liked the 3rd one almost as much as the 1st (The Last Crusade). It’s the one with Sean Connery. The 4th came out almost 20 years later (Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls). I enjoyed it, but it had some quirky parts. I’d put it in 3rd place.

But yesterday we watched the end of an era. The 5th and Last Indiana Jones film. The star is 81 years old. And, well, he looks it. They did some amazing special effects to show him at younger ages during film flashbacks, but when they showed him in the present (the film is set in 1969), Indy looks every bit of 81. 

As the last scene ended, we get to see Indy and Marion (his love interest in Raiders), together again, as a very old couple facing an uncertain future. It was pretty touching, especially knowing…this is it. The end. The very end. No more Indiana Jones after this moment.

But sitting there in the theater, watching it with my wife, Cindi, was kinda freaky in a way. Because I realized, she and I had sat there together in a theater back in 1981–youthful, married just 5 years, in our early 20s–and here we were watching the last one together–in our mid-60s. And there on screen were a very old and gray Indy and Marion, together on screen for the very last time.

I realized…we had grown old with Indy. But it wasn’t a movie. It was real life. Our life. That first Indy movie was 42 years ago. That’s a long time, going by one day a time. But I was also happy to be there at that moment, sitting with the same lady I had watched the first Indy film. Unlike the rocky, on-again-off-again relationship Indy and Marion shared, we’ve had a pretty great time of it. Plenty of. challenges, for sure. But we’re still in love, never fell out of love, and still each other’s best friend. 

For me, that’s been a definite upside to growing old.
