My Latest Novel, A Breath of Fresh Air is now on Pre-order!


Here's what my publisher Crossroad Press has to say about it. "This novel is fast-paced with strong emotion... you need this in your life. It's up for pre-order in eBook, shortly in print and due soon in unabridged audio. You won't want to miss this one..."

Available on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQVQ98C9



BLURB:

Michael Windsor’s luck has abandoned him. His wife, Muriel, left him, taking his beloved seven-year-old son Andy with her, and is sleeping with a rich lawyer.

As if that isn’t enough, he experiences three near-death episodes in his sleep, fighting for breath and nearly suffocating. It's called obstructive sleep apnea, and his neurologist advises him to use a device to help regulate his breathing at night. It sounds even more miserable, but Michael agrees.

What follows is a whirlwind of surreal changes as his body strengthens, his life improves, and he feels somehow more alive. He knows it’s the machine, but he also knows that’s crazy. Then, to his horror, he is enmeshed in a string of murder and violence that has both the police and a very powerful, very evil entity hot on his trail. He also finds a new romance and the hope of a better life. If only he can survive and protect himself, his son, and the woman he’s grown to love.

A FREE NEW STORY, "A Nice Donation"

 Do you like going to thrift stores?

Well, I always have. "A Nice Donation" is a short story I wrote on the subject. It just appeared in Four Star Stories. It takes only a few minutes to read and illustrates why I like visiting thrift stores and shops so much. You never know what you're going to find!

Here's the link: https://4starstories.com/html/bonus_story7.html ~



The beginning of . . , 

A Nice Donation

    The sign on Thrift World's front door read Donations Accepted Around Back, so that was where Marcelline went. She backed her pickup toward the Donation Center sign in the rear, then hopped out and opened the tailgate.

    "Hallo!" she greeted the slender woman who appeared in the doorway. "I have a donation for you, but it's rather heavy."

    "I'll get some help," the woman said, turning back inside.

    Soon two brawny men came out and carried her offering inside. It looked like a rosewood cabinet, four feet long by a foot and a half wide, and the men struggled with it.

    "Lady," the red-haired one puffed, "this thing is heavy."

    "I know," Marcelline said. She swished her long granny dress and fingered the beads on her necklace.

    The other man, who was black and bespectacled, grunted. "Darn thing weighs a ton," he said. "What do you have in here, a pile of rocks?"

    "Not even warm," she laughed.

TWO BOOK SIGNINGS ON JANUARY 14.

I'm happy to announce that I will have two book signings on January 14 at the Book Exchange stores in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. The first two novels in my Dreamfarer series will be featured as well as other books. Please check them out, and I hope to see some of you there!


#Sciencefiction #adventure - The year is 2170, ninety years after World War III. Thanks to the technological advances of dream machines, humanity is able to escape a dull existence through adventurous and romantic fantasies that are far more exciting and fulfilling than ordinary life.

But not all dreamers are so blessed. What happens to a “Dreamfarer” when he wakes after seven years to find that he has become a Waker, one of the three percent of humanity who are immune to further dream stimulation and who must face an empty future? This is the case with Sam Adams, who desperately seeks salvation and meaning in his life after he wakes up.

Many disappointed Wakers become Wreckers who seek to overthrow the Government. Others lose themselves in drugs and sex. Sam wrestles with both possibilities. In the end he embarks on a quest that may affect not only his future but others' as well.
