Newsflash: New Book and CD Release

I am thrilled to announce the release of The Convict and the Rose along with the music cd, Forty Foot High!

This book is the sequel to Flowers and Stone. At the end of that story, we found that Luke Stone was sentenced to many years in prison for a crime he had not committed.In The Convict and the Rose, the book opens with Luke arriving at Leavenworth Penitentiary. Both Luke and Darlina were forced to learn and grow through their many struggles to survive the twist of fate life hurled them into.The music cd that accompanies this story is a small piece of music history preserved. Out of the twelve songs on this cd, eleven of them were recorded inside the walls of Leavenworth Prison.

Here is a brief excerpt from The Convict and the Rose:

CHAPTER 1

The stone cold gray walls and unforgiving steps leading to Leavenworth Penitentiary spared no welcome to Luke Stone as he descended from the prison bus.

Iron ankle chains chafed his skin and the heavy handcuffs and belly chain bit into his wrists. He hopped from the bottom step to the ground and cast a wary glance at his destination.

The man ahead of him stumbled and fell to his knees. The guard quickly prodded him with his night stick. “Get up, convict. No lagging behind.”

Luke gritted his teeth and tightened his jaw but remained in line.

The formidable steps grew as he went. Thirty-seven…thirty-eight…The chains gnawed at the skin around his ankles…number forty-two. The massive doors groaned open, ready to swallow his life as he passed through.”
