NEWS BLAST!!!

The print releaase for JOSHUA'S HOPE has moved up to December 5th!!! Now you can purchase it as a Christmas gift for yourself or for a friend, family member, or colleague. This is a book you can give your grandmother and it won't cause her to lose her eyeglasses or have a heart attack.

Of course, you can get it sooner! How? The ebook version is available on August 29...that's this Friday! Why wait? If you are reading this, you can read my book the same way...on your computer screen. Then you can purchase the paperback in December to add to your bookshelf if you are a collector like I am.

If you'd like more information on JOSHUA'S HOPE, you can read the first chapter on my website, and also view the book trailer. Many authors pay huge bucks to create book trailers to promote their books, but I just don't have that kind of money. Instead, I created my own. The models for the pictures are members of my family, and the voice narrating is mine.

Playing with Graphics...

So, several years ago, when I began my first website, I purchased a graphics program. What fun we had making signature tags and lots more. But, when I closed down my personal site and set up my writing site, I didn't have much use for my graphics program.

I made my website graphics using the program, but I don't use anything elaborate like I did on my personal site.

Last night, I decided to set up a shop on CafePress and add some gift items. That graphic program came in very handy, although I used only the basic stuff.

Brand New Book Cover!!

I'm excited. I just received my new book cover for THE FADED PHOTOGRAPH!!! No release date yet, but should be soon. I'm waiting on galleys to proof. This is a sweet romance and one I loved to write.

Here's the blurb:

Widower James Carter is about to become a grandfather at the young age of forty-nine. And he’s not ready. A faded photograph, kept hidden in his wallet over the years, brings memories of his first love. What has happened to her? Does she ever think of him? Does she remember the dreams they once shared?

With a determination to move out of his lonely existence, he embarks on a journey to fulfill lost dreams and find the woman in the faded photograph.

And an Excerpt:

The ringing telephone awoke James from his dream. Clutching a faded photograph, he made his way to the kitchen. His heart lifted when he recognized the caller ID.

“Margie! To what do I owe the pleasure?” Their only child, now twenty-two, lived with her husband, John, in California. Lately she had been urging him to sell the house and move to California. He couldn’t imagine moving anywhere. He enjoyed Chicago with its distinct changes in weather, from brilliant sun in the summer that kissed Lake Michigan to the brutal winds and snows of January.

“Dad, I have wonderful news!”

Lord, she sounded so much like her mother. “I could use some, hon.”

“Are you ready? Are you sitting down?”

He laughed. “Tell me.”

“I’m pregnant!”

His baby was going to have a baby? It seemed like only yesterday he’d changed her diapers. Wait. That meant he was going to be...a grandfather?

“Did you hear me, Dad? Isn’t it wonderful?”

He sank onto the kitchen chair. Margie was too young to be having a child. He was too young to be called Papaw. Maybe he had a few streaks of silver beside his temples, but that didn’t make him old. Only old men became grandpas.
