I’m trying to get back into the swing of my daily writing…it’s been a slow endeavor due to my health these days but I will make the effort to do more.

In case any readers have wondered what “Papa and Mama” Joel look like:

Chapter 5 finds Nikki and the family at the door of her brother Adam’s palatial house.

I should have it ready before the end of next week,

A reader commented on wanting to know more about the Joel family…
And here it is, the start of the sequel…or is it a prequel to “Release Me”?

There’s no contest this time but I’m still going to try and finish this before December 23rd. The continuation of “A Cracker Barrel Christmas” has Nicole and her family going to see her older brother in Texas. While there, she meets a homeless couple who sleep in a car across the street from a “Whataburger”. Nicole tries to find a way tgo help them and all of the homeless in the sub-freezing weather of a Texas suburb.

I have listed “All I Need is a Miracle” on Amazon. Please leave a review if you choose to.

Thank you.

All I Need is a Miracle

Thank you to everyone who is currently reading “All I Need is a Miracle”. I have enjoyed working on this story and I know there are some heavy consequences that need to be dealt out. If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

There are three chapters remaining until the conclusion.

In case anyone is wondering, chapter titles are based on songs by Mike and the Mechanics

I am working on the first of two large chapters for “All I Need is a Miracle” and I noticed that only “Ty/Tai” has a picture in all of my postings, so the next chapter will probably use this picture.

From top left, clockwise:
Riley, Tai, Tony, Chris, Matt

I’ve made a few edits (spelling, grammar, and removing one character from the last chapter) but have decided to release the short on Amazon.

Release Me-Kindle version

I would also like to ask if there is interest in the backstory to the Joel family.

Thank you to everyone who has read “Release Me” and have shared it. It is from a story idea I had in 1992 but never completed. I may not be able to post the next chapter (“Reason to Believe”) until possibly Friday due to work.

I’m trying to consider editing a long-deleted screenplay I wrote. (I accidentally wiped the wrong SD cards). I may have posted this before but I have seriously been placing thought in written the prose version.

I skipped a freebie week, so we’re once again doing a double up:

The e-books for: “Are You Happy” and “Desert Rose” will be free for this week from Amazon.

“Are You Happy” is kind of a depressing delve into the madness mind of Stephen Thomas and his “guardians’: the Elvin princess Ayle and a grim reaper-in-training who never makes it, “Skully”. The reader is asked to ponder if they’re a part of Stephen’s broken psyche or if they indeed exist.

I am setting the “the twins’ as free on Amazon for the first week in June.

“A Change Would Do You Good” and “the best damn thing” were written at about the same time and both take place in Alabama. “Change” is set on the shores of Orange Beach while Prattville hosts the plotline for “tbdt”. Both are bitter stories…but one ends on a happy note that has allowed me to try to think of a follow-up story.

Both will be available to free for Kindle on 6/2/2023 to 6/5/2023.

“Cherry Moone: MooneShadows” will be free on Amazon for the week of May 22nd-26th. It is a fictional story but has a few real sitations and a lot of real and sometimes explicit dialogue.
Cherry Moone: MooneShadows

I wanted to ask if there was any traction to continue with “Virtually Yours”.
