New Book Release!

               

"I have come to the conclusion that there are some things only God can teach a person, and His lessons come in the form of personalized life experiences." ― Richelle E. Goodrich, Hope Evermore

New Book!        My newest book is scheduled to be released in a few short days... on my birthday! Woo-hoo! Yes, I am a tad bit excited. Both for the release of my latest book and for a chance to celebrate another birthday. I am thinking P.F. Chang's for dinner prior to a fun movie at the theater. How does Beetlejuice Beetlejuice starring Michael Keaton sound? Shhh, don't say Beetle... you know... a third time!      Anyway, Hope Evermore will be available for readers on September 16th, 2024 in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover formats. You can preorder the Kindle version right now on Amazon.com and it will be auto-delivered to your Kindle on my birthday! (That is September 16th.) The audible version will take a little longer before it becomes available, but I will let you know when that happens.      Hope Evermore is the next in a line of my inspirational and motivational collections. This book was written with more spiritual influence than my previous "daily quote" books but still includes an original quote, poem, or short story for every day of the year, including the following: "Love accepts you as you. It will never ask that you be someone else." “There are many things in this world that we do not know, that we cannot see, that we do not perceive or comprehend. But I have faith in a god who sees and perceives all, who knows and comprehends all. It is God upon whom I rely.” “If faith without works is dead, then in the same vein, compassion without action is dead, and concern without voice is also dead.” "It may look crazy to you, but if you had traveled another’s road in their shoes, you would see and understand the underlying sanity in their actions. This is why we should love more and judge less." "Tomorrow is just another synonym for hope." “Take away your trials, and you take away the magnificent reward of overcoming.” This book is a wealth of hope and inspiration, written to uplift individuals on a daily basis. If you are anything like me, when you get your copy, jump to your birthday first and see what it says. I hope it is a thought worth pondering.

What am I working on now?      I am writing a new fictional story, a paranormal adventure with a heroic duo who may just save the world despite their personal roadblocks and human weaknesses. The title of this book is not yet decided, but I am considering Phantom's Veil as a possibility at the moment. This book takes place in the present, but involves some old Mayan mythology. I am about 40% done with the first draft as we speak!

My Recent Read

My Review *spoiler alert* I had many expectations going into this book that did not pan out in the end. The main character is an old man named Eugene who is nearing the last days of his life. He believes he has lived many lives prior, and Eugene can tell you in detail about every one. When he talks of his true love, whom he has been pursuing throughout his many lives, I expected an intimate love story to emerge through the retelling of his memories. But the love interest never really develops. It turns out to be more wishful thinking than reality. And when he admits to lying about his present life, you begin to wonder how much of his tales hold any truth. In the end, I believe the moral of the story is that all human beings seek love and acceptance, no matter how many lives we are fated to live. Eugene appears to gain that love in his last few days on Earth when he opens up to a kind, friendly orderly named Angel. I enjoyed the development of their friendship more than anything else.
