Blessed Are the Wholly Broken, $.99 Ending Soon (plus an excerpt)
Just wanted to post a note that although Blessed Are the Wholly Broken has been on sale through the holidays, Amazon is set to immediately increase the price (although I can't say exactly when that will take place).
While currently $.99, the price is set to return to the normal price of $3.99 soon.
For anyone who may be interested, an excerpt:
Chapter 32: January 7, 2013—Attorney Consult
“Phillip? Are you okay?” Brian’s voice sounded muffled and distant, as if making its way through buried tunnels to reach me. I shook my head to clear it of images I did not want to see.
“I’m fine. I just….Promise me something, Brian.”
Across the table from me he stiffened. “I’m not really in a position to make promises, Phillip,” he said. “And you’re not really in a position to ask for them.”
“True enough,” I conceded with a shrug, “but I’m asking anyway. Promise me you won’t hurt Anna any more than you have to.”
He blew out a breath, clearly frustrated. “In case you’ve forgotten, Anna is dead.”
I flinched at the words. “You know what I mean. Promise you’ll protect her memory. She was a good person, a good wife, given everything she went through. Don’t betray her now.”
He stood and began to pace, a habit of late, hands shoved into his pockets. “My job is to get you out of here,” he said. “I think I can do that, but I can’t do it if I protect Anna at your expense. This isn’t a matter of blaming the victim in order to save the perpetrator, Phillip. Sometimes, the victim is guilty.”
“But she wasn’t, Brian. She told me. She begged me, but I refused to listen. She reached out to me for help, and I let her down in every way possible. Anna’s not the guilty party here. I am.”
He moved to stand over me, leaning in and forcing me to look at him. “If you believe Anna wasn’t guilty,” he said, “it’s only because you haven’t seen Peter. One glance at that baby and there’s no doubt of guilt.”
I closed my eyes against a wave of pain.
While currently $.99, the price is set to return to the normal price of $3.99 soon.
