New Book

Well, I may have met my deadline for finishing my book but, as any writer knows, it's far from finished. I've proofread, edited, proofread, etc. It's a process--and a fascinating one. As I go through the book over and over, my mind is on the project that I started months ago. "My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette" was a challenge and I took great pride in it. I decided at that time to write more historical fiction, but a full length novel. Now I can dedicate more time to it--since I had started writing months ago.

The new book, "The Primrose Garden," is a sequel to my first novel, "When Shadows Linger." If you like to read mysteries, romance, and stories that deal with social issues and mental health concerns, you will love this book. Watch for a giveaway soon!!

FREE BOOK

My first book, "Envelopes of Hope," was inspired by my daughter after she conquered her 35 year battle with drugs. When she finally entered rehab, she wrote a letter thanking me for not giving up on her. This inspired the book. The book is fiction and meant to give hope and inspiration to those who are caught up in the darkness of substance abuse--and to their families who stand by them with support and love.

Looking through the book, I laugh at how my formatting improved with my next books.

Why am I posting this? Because I have ten copies that I would like to give away. If you would like a copy, my contact information is on my website. Just send me your mailing information and I'll send them to the first ten people who ask.

My books are available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle formats.

Website info: mirikalblog.com

Thanks--I hope to hear from you soon.

FREE BOOK

I have gift codes for the kindle version of "My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette" that I would like to give away. The story is historical fiction, initially written as a tribute to my mother's family who came to America from Russia in the early 1900s. As I wrote the book, the story evolved into a tribute to all who have left their homeland for a better life. It is a story about family, love, and culture--and the passing down of all of these values to future generations. And--there are some true stories included that I heard while growing up. As an added thought--the photo of the little girl with the doll is my mother, taken in 1931 when she was four years old.

Contact me through my blog, or leave a comment with your email, and I will gladly send you a code.

Also--if you've read "When Shadows Linger," the sequel will be out in April. I'll be posting information as the time gets closer. If you haven't read it, check it out on Amazon. It's available in both kindle and print versions.

Holidays

Hi--If you won a copy of "When Shadows Linger" and haven't yet read it, I just want to remind you that it is a perfect read for the holiday season.

The story of Maggie is one of love, inspiration, and hope as she seeks new happiness after the sudden death of her husband. Set in beautiful Vermont, there are vivid descriptive scenes of winter in Vermont, and a lot of "holiday" scenery.

So, curl up with a hot drink and stay warm--and accompany Maggie on her emotional journey.

Happy Holidays.

Sequel Update and Inspirational gifts

I hope everyone had a Happy and Peaceful Thanksgiving. And now--Hanukah and Christmas are quickly approaching.

If you won a copy of "When Shadows Linger," I hope that you've had the time to read it. I'm busy working on a sequel. If you haven't read it, you have some time to do so.

For the readers on your list, please consider my books as gifts. "When Shadows Linger" is perfect for the holiday season. It is a book of hope, inspiration, and love. The setting is Vermont--and there are lovely holiday and winter scenes in the book.

Also meant to be inspirational is "Envelopes of Hope," a novelette about a young girl changing her life and getting out of the dark world of drugs.

And "My Name is Rebecca: A Novelette," is the story of a family leaving Russia in the early 1900s to escape religious persecution. It is meant to be a tribute to all immigrants who have come, and are still coming, to America for a better life.

The books are all available on Amazon.

Follow me on my website to stay informed about what I'm up to.

Take care.
Phyllis
