September 13th or maybe later

I was hoping for a release date of September 13, 2020 at Amazon. However, it's looking like that is not going to be possible. A more realistic date is probably sometime after that. Hopefully, within one week of that date. At any rate, it won't be long now. Everything is almost finished. 

After Amazon, it will be released at other sites, such as Barnes & Noble, but that will take more time. 

Thanks for your patience. 

Once more, here is the back-cover blurb and the except for Thirteen Miracles. 

 

Blurb:  


Legend says it was the landing spot for Lucifer when he was cast out of heaven, but that's not the only thing it's known for. It is also a land of marijuana fields, opium poppies, kidnappings, and drug-related killings. It's the last place you would expect to find God, but Abby Welles is looking for Him there, and her search will lead her on a miraculous rescue mission inside the heart of The Devil's Backbone.

But she is running out of time, and she may have already run out of luck.


Excerpt:

The black bird was back, or whatever it was,
and it was in Scarface’s gunsight.


     It was perched on a dead tree overhanging the mountainside, watching the activity below. Something in the bird’s gaze and mechanical head movements troubled her. Was it watching the activity or controlling it? She silently ridiculed the thought. She was being paranoid. This place did that to her.

     The rifle fired, and she jumped. An unexpected explosion ripped through the early morning quiet.

     Scarface gave a sudden shriek of pain and fell to the ground, clutching his face with blackened and bloodied hands. Unearthly sounds accompanied his cries and repeated off the wall of rocks. Bebo joined in the chorus, barking furiously, teeth barred. Abby wanted to silence him but knew it was pointless. His barks were lost in the sea of strange sounds.

     She tugged on him, pulling him back. He had strayed too close to the edge. Once he was on safer ground, she strained to see where the other noises were coming from. Had the weapon backfired? Was shrapnel pinging off rocks? Not that it would explain what she was hearing. These were more like animal yips and howls, but not quite.

     Whatever was producing these noises wasn’t apparent from her vantage point. Fear gripped her every muscle and nerve as the sounds continued and grew more bizarre. Surely these weren’t the natural sounds of nature. They didn’t even seem to originate from anything she could see—or ever would see—in this world. 

 

And here is the trailer:

Thirteen Miracles Updates

I am running a promotions for Thirteen Miracles ; however, the trailer shows my original book cover. I ran into a few different problems with it, so I updated it to the cover you see on the left. It is available at Amazon in three different formats: digital, paperback, and hardcover. I removed it from Barnes and Noble due to some issues with that site.     Here is the link at Amazon. You can link to the different formats from this one link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JJDWLYG Amazon  Once again, here are the blurbs and an excerpt, as well as the trailer.  Short blurb: A woman's search for God ends in a miraculous rescue mission in the marijuana fields of the Devil's Backbone. Here is the longer back-cover blurb: Legend says it was the landing spot for Lucifer when he was cast out of heaven. That's not the only thing it's known for. It is also a land of marijuana fields, opium poppies, kidnappings, and drug-related killings. It's the last place you wou...

A New Christian Book About the Bible's Last Days

Photo by Ann from Pexels I am working on a new fiction book based on the Biblical End of Days. I have written several chapters and hope to have it finished later this year. (I am notoriously slow.) I originally published this on one of my other blogs, and I have archived this on the WayBack Machine, but I might take this post down in the future. This chapter is first draft, so there will most likely be some tweaks and changes. Here is the opening:   Chapter One The ticking grandfather clock was all that remained in the room now. Emily stared at it, holding onto it like a lifeline in a restless ocean, and the last remnants of the room faded away. Was she dying? Going blind? The clock’s noise grew louder, and each tick slowed, until the pounding thud reminded her of a steady, drawn-out drumbeat. What was happening to her? She tried to move but couldn’t; wanted to call out for Mike, but was silent, wished she could scream but wasn’t even afraid. Some invisible force held her ...

A Five Star Review

Kristine, and Kimber the Magnificent, at Pages & Paws have reviewed Thirteen Miracles and have given it Five Stars! The link to the full review is at the bottom of this post.  They are my first readers and my first review. (Well, technically, my editor also read it, but she doesn't count. She was working and not what I would call "a reader".) I am on wings after this review. I didn't know what to expect because some of the reviews at Pages & Paws are a little on the scary side. (Actually, they're a lot on the scary side.) So, for my book to be labeled "a gem" and to get a five-star review from this formidable review site was more than I'd hoped for or expected!   Please visit the blog and check out the review. Here's the link: https://pagesandpaws.com/2020/10/07/thirteen-miracles-my-new-best-bud/ Here are some of my favorite bits: Bebo is now Kimber's new best bud. That made me cry all by itself. And Kristine said Thirteen M...
