I truly thought after my previous blog, I would be faithfully writing a blog post at least every week. Well, life had other plans! We have traveled to Minnesota twice and Arizona once from April 29 through June 6! A lot of time in airports, going through TSA, and hopping from one house or hotel to another.
The good news is I got caught up on a lot of reading. Here are some of the books and my reviews:
THE MAN IN THE CORNER BOOTH by Verwayne Greenhoe:
This is a short story about a kind waitress who provides food for an elderly gentleman. She is an example of how we should all treat others less fortunate than ourselves. The message is one of love and caring for another without any expectations in return.
COMPULSION by Verwayne Greenhos
This story is based on a true case of the murders of women for sexual gratification. The man stalks his prey of prostitutes primarily. His trademark is to stab them with a screwdriver, remove their clothing, and then fold it neatly in a pile next to their naked bodies.
He is a mild-mannered, successful businessman, and married to a woman whom he claims to love. It is an interesting read if you like murder and crime stories.
I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED by D.L. Finn
This is a short but fun story that will leave you with a few chills and thrills. Based on the “what if” game, the main characters find themselves in the midst of unusual events. I like thrillers so it was a perfect read for me.
THE VANISHED BOY by Harmony Kent
If you like suspenseful stories, you will love this book. When Carole’s teenage son disappears, she learns about him that she never knew. She saw the world of teenagers that was unfamiliar.
This is a definite page-turner. Put your feet up, grab your coffee or tea, and plan to read the day or night away.
An important announcement will be coming out soon! My completed manuscript is with the Fresh Ink Group. and I am anxiously awaiting the final proof, and then publication! Gary Geez and Lauren Smith have been incredibly helpful, patient, and kind.
Just to give you a very short glimpse into the book: it is a biography about my good friend and ovarian cancer sister, Carol Tucker. She has two adopted sons with special needs in addition to her two biological adult-children. Her remarkable story as a mother, a teacher, a founder and principal of a school for those with Autistic Spectrum Disorder is educational, inspiring, and a resource for other parents.
