Blog Tour: Continuing the Journey

Religious Poetry

Date Published: October 14, 2019

Publisher: Lucid Books

Like an octopus with many many arms, the lies curled around us, covered us, and held us prisoners. We knew nothing of freedom. Or the possibility of it. That was our life before our Rescuer came.

Excerpt

FAMILY (BELONGING)

Sometimes

In our families that we are born to,

there is hurting

and pain

and being left out.

But our Abba, our Papa,

is also our Healer.

And He knows

just what we need.

Always.

So He has given us a family

that He Himself has made.

Made up of all His children

who love Him

and want to be with Him forever.

We won’t get to know them all

until we are all Home. Forever.

But for now, He brings special people

to walk with us

and be our friends

and remind us of Him.

So that we are no longer alone,

but have a family

in a special way.

Brothers and sisters who each

are learning from Him,

together with us.

About the Author

Blog Tour: Whiskey Everything

The Whiskey Series

RomCom

Date Published: September 1st 2019

Four books. Four whiskey-fueled romances.

Dick: Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's a fluke. Too much whiskey. Believe me when I say, it will NEVER happen again.

I’m trying not to take it personally. Sh*t happens. It’s not a reflection on me. He claims it was too much whiskey. A one time occurrence. And I believe him.

But then why the hell does it happen a second time?

Chick: Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's a fluke. Too much whiskey. Believe me when I say, it will NEVER happen again.

I’m trying not to take it personally. Sh*t happens. It was a blind date. She drank too much whiskey. I hope it wasn’t a reflection on me.

Okay, so the first date didn't work out. But what happens when the second one doesn’t either?

Trick: Everything usually goes my way. Life’s good. But after a bad breakup, a few problems emerge that I need help fixing.

He has problems all right. Sure, I’ll help. Just because I’m unlucky in love doesn’t mean the next girl should be too.

But maybe those problems aren’t so bad after all?

Flick: Everything usually goes my way. Life’s good. But after a bad breakup, a big secret unfolds that no one can ever know.

She has a secret all right. Sure, I’ll keep it. Just because we can’t tell anyone doesn’t mean we can't make it work.

But maybe some secrets do need to come out?

Blog Tour: Black & Blue

Fiction

Date Published: July 2019

Publisher:  BookBaby

Have you ever wanted to do something that everyone said was impossible? Then you’ll love BLACK & BLUE. Loosely based on the author’s own life, this coming-of-age novel will inspire you to pursue your dreams.

For as long as she can remember, “Toady” wanted nothing more than to play football.  But for Toady, the love of football is bittersweet – because Toady’s given name is Christine. She’s a girl, and girls “can’t” play football. Despite her exceptional abilities, she watches bitterly as the boys play on the high school team and win scholarships.  Reluctantly, she gives up her football dreams and moves to New York City – where she finds that life is full of surprises. Christine hears about a group of women playing flag football, and she joins their game. The players are so good that before long, they’re invited to become part of a professional women’s tackle league.

For Christine, this is the chance she’s always dreamed of. Not only does she play football, but she raises enough money to become the team’s owner. But that’s when the real challenges begin. Does Christine have the guts and the stamina to spite the odds? BLACK & BLUE will leave readers cheering as Christine doubles down to fight for her dreams and for the women who want nothing more than to play their favorite sport. If you loved Bend It Like Beckham or A League of Their Own, you’ll adore BLACK & BLUE.

Excerpt

I am last to be chosen. I am hurt. I am frustrated. I am a girl.

By Andra Douglas

I am nine years old. I am slight in appearance, but strong. I am tall and quick. My hands are good for catching. I have a good arm for passing. I know the game of football. I am standing in a group of neighborhood boys watching carefully as sides are chosen. e number seven on the front of my orange and aqua Miami Dolphin jersey is palpitating as my heart grows heavier, angrier while captains keep choosing and choices of players become few. I stand tall, accentuating my height. Taller than the others. I, wearing matching orange and aqua sneakers, become impatient and take a step forward, ring a pleading glance at the captain whose turn it is to choose. He looks past me and calls Pete Ahrens instead. Pete is a short, timid boy of scapegoat nature. I am last to be chosen. I am hurt. I am frustrated. I am a girl.

I am not new in the neighborhood. Nor am I new to admit my interests. I do not like lace. I hate cooking. I am too young to wear a bra and burn it, so I take Betsy Wetsy and set re to her diapers. I think girls are stupid much like all the boys in the neighborhood do. I show signs of domesticity in much the same manner as my pet squirrel, who imbedded her long, yellow teeth clean through my mother’s middle finger one morning, and bid a fast adieu while running towards the terra firma of the great outdoors.

I am not perky. Or loud. My father says I am “bullheaded.” I am. My views, though seldom verbally expressed, are communicated through other means. I usually get my way because I can badger with amazing results. My grandmother says it’s like being “nibbled to death by a duck.” Usually, I am pestering her or my mother for things like Matchbox cars or G.I. Joe’s. Or art supplies. I like to draw and paint and have won first prize at the Pendle County Fair for the last four years in a row. Today, however, after my grandmother has heard “for the last time, child!” the plea for a football of my own, she grabs my arm, takes her car keys off the kitchen table and pulls me out to her silver Cadillac to take me to the Western Auto. This car is the size of Rhode Island. It could hold every kid in the neighborhood, but we are all too embarrassed to ride in it. It is so big and so silver. Its two ns sloping up on each side of the trunk take up way too much space when they come slicing through the hot, gray asphalt of Fi h Avenue like a pair of mutant sharks. I am mortified now as we shimmer through town taking up the entire width of the avenue. Slunk down low in the seat, I am eager to dash from the Cadillac into the store as soon as we angle park right in front.

The Western Auto is run by Mr. Timmons. He has two daughters — one in each of my sister’s grades–six and eight years ahead of me. I have been in the store a lot lately. I stop in on my bike after school and pick up each football separately and have made a decision on just the right one. Somehow, it just feels better than the others. I run to it now—I have it hidden behind the basketballs—and fly up to the counter with it. My grandmother is just getting inside the store.

“Hello Bob,” she says.

Blog Tour: Silent Whispers

Nonfiction-New Age

Date Published: August 31, 2019

Tami, Tina and Andrea continue their travels seeking, and finding, deceased children who have been tortured through human experiments—and need to cross over. What they were not entirely expecting to encounter were other individuals and their profound control. Fewer children would speak of their human abductors, but instead speak of others—ones who could potentially do even more harm. Along the journey, these three women also encounter beautiful beings of compassion and love who offer a light guiding them to the unseen. Through that, the power within is palpable and abundant.

Excerpt

The Glass

In a Wyoming hotel room, Tina and I were chatting and enjoying our morning coffee when we heard Andrea yelling from the bathroom.

“You guys! Come in here!”

Tina and I looked at each other without moving.

Was she serious?

“Seriously, you need to see this! Come in here, quick!”

“I’m not going in there! She just turned off the shower, she’s naked!” I said.

“I’m not going in there either!”

“Come in here, you have to see this!”

Again, Tina and I looked at each other.        

“I guess it’s me since you’re not getting up,” I said.

Setting down my coffee, I apprehensively headed to the bathroom.

I really hoped she wasn’t going to show me spiders.

Walking in I looked at Andrea, covered in a bath towel.

She pointed to the glass wall that separated the sink from the toilet.

Turning to see what she was pointing at, I felt electric impulses moving up my back and neck, my eyes widened, and my hand covered my mouth while I took a moment to figure out what I was seeing.

Oh…My…God…

I turned back to Andrea, feeling shocked and amazed.

“Oh my God...Tina! Come in here! You have to see this!” I yelled.

Andrea and I stood there and just stared at the wall.

Tina walked in and looked at us.

“Close the door to keep the steam in!” Andrea said and then pointed to the wall.

Tina stared at the wall in wonderment.

“Whoa!”

PROMO: Rich and Gone

Mystery

Date Published: May 29, 2019

Publisher: Tirgearr Publishing

ng"> PI Red Farlow is on the hunt to find $300 million a Florida insurance executive has bilked out of family and friends.

Woody Cunningham stashed the money in safe havens around the world before disappearing. Has he been done in by one of his enemies? Or did he skip town with his girlfriend to live off the ill-gotten wealth? If that’s the case, where is he?

Farlow must quickly learn how and why people hide their money in offshore accounts if he's to find out what happened to Cunningham.

When a tough guy from Farlow's past resurfaces, wanting to settle an old score, Farlow discovers he also has links to the missing man. Clues lead him across Georgia and Florida, and Europe, to find the answers.

Is Woody Cunningham dead, or just rich and gone?

Excerpt

(Chapter 1)

Chadwick Woodrow Cunningham once gave me a fine cigar. Like the man, the smoke looked classy, robust, and expensive, but it left a foul aftertaste I couldn’t shake.

Born into a wealthy Atlanta family, Cunningham excelled in his education, achieved success beyond imagination, and exuded confidence in everything he did.

His friends regarded him as outgoing and smooth with the ladies. They hailed him as a moneymaking smart guy. Others saw him as impetuous and unfaithful to his wife. The people who invested in his bogus funds regarded him as a cheat in business.

What the hell. Chadwick Woodrow Cunningham had life by the ass, everyone agreed. But on a football Friday night near a small South Georgia town, his life changed forever.

He disappeared.

Someone hired me to inquire about some missing money—nearly three-hundred million dollars—entrusted to Mr. Cunningham. By happenstance, my investigation started a few weeks before he vanished. I soon learned what transpired that evening and how people who knew him assessed Cunningham’s mood in the days before then.

One thing became apparent. As influential and exceptional as Cunningham thought of himself, people valued the money he stole far more than the man.
