I started writing with a pen and paper those many moons ago before computers, but I rarely used a pen as fine as the one below. Common writing utensils consisted of stubs of pencils my kids left scattered around the house, or ball-point pens with an ad for A-One Plumbing emblazoned on them. Still, I wrote, and continue to write.

Old-fashioned fountain pen.

Ta-Da! Next Chapter recently released my newest suspense novel, One More Time – third in the One Small Victory series that features Jenny Jasik, a mom who has the courage to go up against drug dealers in her small Texas town. Now someone is trying to make good on a threat launched at her six years ago. The new book is available as an eBook at all major retailers, with a paperback to come within a few weeks.

Next Chapter Publishing has created a merchandising arm, offering mugs, totes, playing cards, notebooks, and more, all specific to a single book title. Click here to see all the merchandise with artwork from Evelyn Evolving, Beyond The Crack in the Sidewalk, and my other books. If I had more wall space in my home I’d get a poster of Beyond the Crack in The Sidewalk. I loved the art work the minute I saw the first draft of the cover.

There’s a teddy bear with a shirt featuring the cover of Beyond the Crack in the Sidewalk.

I’m a real sucker for a soft, huggable teddy bear and this one is going on my wish list.

If we writers were in it solely for the money, most of us would be considered losers.

“I have read thousands of books in the past and thought that your books were as good and even better than any other that I have read.”
