We Interrupt This 12 Days for An Announcement About Don McQuinn’s New Book

There’ll be another Liz post much later today, but first, my very good friend Don McQuinn has a book out on Amazon today called Light the Hidden Things. Here’s what he says about it:


The new novel, Light The Hidden Things, went up on Kindle yesterday . . . Anyhow, the novel’s a love story. I wrestled with that a lot. Never did anything remotely like it. Most folks will call it a romance. Fine by me. I just hope it’s a good story well told. Plus, I wrote it for a purpose; everything I ever did had a theme, but not a target audience. This one does. I want women to read it – and I hope take some inspiration from it – in respect to PTSD and their ability to make all the difference in the world. A woman who loves and supports a PTSD victim is the best thing he or she can hope for. The professionals who help are magnificent. The women who care are moreso.


He said this on Amazon:


This country has been at war for over a decade, a third of a generation. I’d be less than forthright if I didn’t say at the outset that the novel is intended to help the women, in particular, who bear the brunt of watching our youngest and finest go in harm’s way. This book is about a man and woman, but it must be pointed out that thousands of incredibly dedicated women have gone on that same journey. When those warriors – and all are that – return, many need help. Sometimes the women who love them don’t realize the richness of their power. If my book helps just one of those women grasp her significance, if it inspires her to enable someone she loves, I’ve done my job.


You can see why I love him, and his hero sounds just like him. I only read the first pages–you may have noticed that I’m up to my ass in alligators here–but it’s a great opening which you can read here on Amazon. Plus if you have Amazon Prime, you can borrow Light the Hidden Things free this month.


Don McQuinn. You should go check out his book.
