I've decided to jump ship for a while but it's not what you think.

Phew! It's Thursday and I have been on a long writing binge and just coming up for air now. I have jumped the ship of writing novels for a bit and wrote a few scripts. A contest that was free to enter, which is a real rarity, inspired me to write the first one. The I wrote another one and I have to say I really like it.  So I am going to turn the science fiction novel I am writing into a script instead. I might change my mind, who knows? Not even I do because in this life there is no set script, set story, I am making it all up as I go along.

Another Great Review Came in This Week!

Got another great review this week on Return to Limerick from a Twitter user = "I enjoyed the way it was written. Made quite a mystery to keep the reader involved. I gave it to one of my children to read to their grandchildren while enjoying it themselves!"

In Case You Missed It...

Did you miss the Chat and Spin Radio interview? No problem you can hear it here on my WordPress site.

Cheers to Chat and Spin Radio that helps artists get exposure that is so important to all of us!

Iolon Star, The Earthlings and Return to Limerick are hitting the airwaves this Saturday! 7-13!

The journey for my novels continues and now they are going to be on the radio! The UK radio station Chat and Spin will be airing the quickie interview where I got to send my novels over the airwaves and its blasting out on July 13th Saturday at 12:20 pm PST. You can hear it by going to chatandspinradio.com or if you miss it you can go to their Facebook page on Sunday to hear it!

It was a lot of fun and it did take me more than one take but only two so I am happy about it and I think they were too since they invited me back when my next science fiction novel is done!

Every Writer Loves to See This

Traveling back across the country has put a hold on me continuing to write my next novel so I have put the time I have into promoting the novels I have published before leaving to drive another 700 + miles before I am back in Nevada.

But I realized during this time not only a significant increase in Kindle Unlimited readers but also that they are reading it with lightening speed and not putting it down! That's every writer's wish, hope and dream for any novel, to grip the reader so they don't want to stop reading. So seeing that reality with Iolon Star has been really great and making this long drive across the country an extra boost of happy.

Once again thanks readers!

Back in the writing saddle...a sneak peek

Well everyone, I am back to writing full time and right now in the middle of my fourth chapter of my next science fiction novel. I am adjusting the chapter a bit because I love to keep the action going in all my novels. I gave the details of the first few to a few people and they were mesmerized with the story as I told it and loved it wanting more = always a good sign.

Long way to go to finish it of course but so far we have a mixture of aliens and a trio of elite human space force characters that are saving aliens. Can't say more about it just yet because there are so many writers out there and I want to keep the plot line secret so it's not heisted before I finish it.

Sales are still above average so I am pleased with that and love watching people on Kindle Unlimited go through my novels quickly which for me means they can't put it down for long. I am just 6 months into being an indie author and people are getting to know my writing which is the biggest challenge for any indie author.

I am sticking with being only available on Amazon because they are the biggest seller online of books and their support is stellar. I appreciate every single reader of my novels and am grateful to each of them. Without readers there would be no writers, no authors and you can't tell a long novel story around a campfire. So keep reading and I will keep writing so that you will enjoy getting away to another planet, another dimension of time, another world for a while.

The story continues...last chapter

For those following this story as is typical in abusive situations denial is present by those being abused. Anyone that brings it to the forefront generally is fought as being wrong because the one being abused has difficulty facing it. Shame, embarrassment, failure and other thoughts run through the mind of those being abused because they have been set up to doubt themselves and this truth by the abuser.

In my life I have met two women that lost their daughters to violent abusers and they tried everything to detach their daughters to the abusers before they met their terrible fate. The abuse I am talking about is emotional but it is still abuse.

For everyone that is dealing with abuse in a relationship you in the end must save yourself and love yourself enough to do it. It's not easy for anyone and you have to be strong but once you are out of it you will see that life is always better. Whether you have kids or not, you should not stay in an abusive relationship. It is not real love and never will be though most abusers will tell you they love you deeply especially after abuse has happened.

Life is long, but not long enough to sustain abuse in a relationship. If you are experiencing abuse in your relationship get out as a better life without abuse awaits you. You will be more successful, happier and realize fully that you are worthy of happiness. If you have kids they will be happier too and be grateful to you for saving them.

I being someone who experienced it in my own life and witnessed it recently with a loved one have done what I can and stood up against it. I am now in the backlash of my dear one being mad that I have said anything at all about it. But I know the truth of abuse and know I did the right thing. Now it's up to them to save themselves and hopefully they will before they waste too many years trying to make a bad relationship into a good one and that of course will never happen as it never will be with abusive relationships.

An Explosion of Epic Porportions

After weeks of helping family life exploded into a reality that no one wants to see. It felt good every step of the way doing what I knew as the right thing, a good deed, for all the right reasons. If life was simple, outside of tearing time away from my writing career, it would have been a fairy tale existence. Then a dark truth appeared, first slowly in small ways and the kind of ways you shrug and say nothing because you aren't sure or you don't want to see that or it's just not enough to react. Finally the bomb comes, a great big huge nuclear explosion of truth that hit me in the gut so hard I am trying to recover from it still.
Abuse is happening and that abuse is hurting too many dear hearts to me and I did what I had to do, I stood up against it, said no to it and now I am hoping the one that really needs to put an end to it will. Abuse isn't pretty, funny, it isn't clever, it is a great darkness that needs courage and strength to escape. I am only hoping that the ones that need to escape it have that strength. I can't do it for them, they have to do it themselves. I can only show them what you do when that same abuse is directed at me, stand up and say no to it and show them the truth of it.
I am sticking around to remain a support even though part of me wants to run away from it now. But I won't,  I will stay strong and help by staying around, which the abuser doesn't want of course. Writing is my passion so I am returning full time to writing while I am hoping being a guiding light can break my dear ones free.
