Included in its pages are original quotes, poetic verse, as well as the random relatable grumbling. This book is meant to motivate and inspire individuals on a daily basis as it reminds us that we share similar  emotions and experiences with the whole of humanity. Despite varying circumstances, we all laugh, we cry, we hope, we despair, we endure, we grow, we fall and then rise, and we find reasons to celebrate on occasion. This book reminds us that while things exist to make us groan and grumble, we can find reasons to smile anyway. Look for this inspiring book on Amazon. Smile Anyway Keep Updated on New Projects What I am working on now…     I have nearly finished my newest book, Phantom Veil. It is a paranormal adventure story staring one cynical, gifted track star named Gwen De Troyes and a stouthearted brainiac named Daniel Benwick. These two unlikely friends are destined for a venturesome experience involving Mayan hieroglyphs, an undisturbed temple, and one dead but angry tribal priest. Get ready for a daring trek to solve an ancient mystery and save the souls of humanity! "For most of us there is a poignant moment in life when we come to realize we are not alone. And I’m not referring to the billions of people with flesh-and-blood bodies surrounding us. No. What I mean are those numberless spirits who exist within our reach yet beyond our sight, kept secret by a blinding veil. Many believe such spirits are like angels watching over us, watching out for us. But perhaps the case is they are merely just watching."  — Richelle E. Goodrich SUMMARY: Buried in the darkest depths of a Mayan temple rest secrets known only to sacerdotal phantom's that ages ago passed from the realm of mortality. No human was meant to discover these secrets. Gwen and Daniel would happily let dead powers stay hidden if only a coercing phantom would keep to the afterlife and leave Gwen alone. Why is he harassing her anyway? What talent does she possess that a dead priest seems desperate to utilize? Poem of the Week Read a new poem every Monday on my author website. The right words can melt your heart or brighten your day. SMILE There’s enchantment in a smile, did you know? Shall I prove in a wink that it is so? Watch my mouth grin wide and see, How quick your lips smile back at me! ALICE Sipping tea     with glee     beneath a gooseberry tree. I wish Alice were here. Oh, my dear,     do not fear,     she will be. SUNSHINE The summer sun welcomes me out to sandy beaches with palm trees. I am lulled by caressing rays as warm as heavy, denim quilts. The heat melts away distresses from my muscles, from my thinking. Entranced and contented, I bask in the careless arms of sunshine.
