Instafreebie

I joined Instafreebie which is a service where authors can give away their books or samples of their books and build up their mailing lists while they're at it!

For April, I am giving away the first three chapters of my first novel, "Rain Clouds and Waterfalls." It's a coming-of-age novel told in linked short stories, inspired by the music of the Beatles.

Here is the link:

New Novel!

I published my second novel, "Beneath the Shady Tree." It is a women's fiction/mystery novel set in the New Orleans area.

"Payton Montgomery wishes she could remember her early childhood; Joel McIntyre wishes he could forget. Payton is excited about restarting life in New Orleans, but she is plagued by sketchy nightmares and two child abductions that pervade the community and her inner psyche. As she tries to cobble her life together after a string of bad choices, she falls hard for Joel, a veterinarian struggling with his own memories. Could their shared early past reveal secrets that will set them free?"

Here is the link on Amazon: http://a.co/1Ab1pE7

Let it Be

I wanted to mention that my review of Chad Gayle's novel, "Let It Be," is posted on Bookscover2cover: http://bookscover2cover.com/2016/01/l...

Like my "Rain Clouds and Waterfalls," the novel draws inspiration from the Beatles. That's what caught my eye in reading it. It's a poignant, deep literary novel that you'll find yourself thinking about for a long time.

On the Way to Work...

Bookscover2cover published my second "On the Way to Work" short story. I plan a series of these that delves into the hearts and minds of ordinary people on the way to work.

http://bookscover2cover.com/2015/11/o...

In this, loyal husband to his bedridden wife, Douglas Michaels, is mesmerized and smitten when young, vibrant Chloe Bloom steps on his train... on the way to work.

Hope you enjoy!
