Everyone can preorder!

A number of my readers, who don’t buy their eBooks at Amazon, have been asking when they can preorder the next book in the Haunting Danielle series—The Ghost and the Bride—from their eBook venue. The answer, now!

Click here to preorder from Barnes & Noble.

Click here to preorder from Kobo.

Click here to preorder from iTunes.

Click here to preorder from Smashwords.

Click here to preorder from Amazon.

The book will be released this coming Saturday, on September 30, 2017.

I’m also happy to announce the large print version of the book will be released around the same time as the regular print version, which should be within two weeks. It took me longer to get the large print version of the last boo—The Ghost Who Lie—out. In fact, that should be happening within the next 24 hours. You can find all our paperbacks at Amazon.

Does God send us plagues?

I wonder if I could go off my blood pressure meds if I stop reading Facebook. This morning I read about recent devastation from Hurricane Maria. Some of the comments denying global warming and claiming God is just angry with us—this is our punishment, so to speak—well that got my blood pressure spiking.

In the last 600+ years we really have not changed.

When the most devastating pandemic swept through Europe killing up to 200 million people, it also spiked religious persecution—because they had to have someone to blame. God must have been angry. Considering their lack of knowledge on hygiene and infectious diseases, it’s no wonder they turned elsewhere to put the blame.

That blame was placed on foreigners, Jews, and others. Which of course meant these people must be put to death to appease God. And they were.

Just like over 600+ years ago, so many people don’t even consider looking to science for an answer. Like our ancestors, they are suspicious of science and prefer to cling to the belief that is the wrath of God. I suspect one reason for this, it is comforting to them to feel validated for whatever prejudices they may have against those groups they believe responsible.

While I believe in God—or a higher power—I have a different take, which I discussed in a recent blog post.

Halloween is around the corner—be prepared!

Ghosts aren’t just for Halloween. They can show up any time of the year—especially in the cozy mystery series, Haunting Danielle.

But if you would like to read a Halloween themed ghost cozy mystery, that would be The Ghost of Halloween Past, the fifth book in the Haunting Danielle series.

So, if you haven’t started the series, you should probably start now with the first book, The Ghost of Marlow House. I suggest you read the books in order, and when Halloween rolls around, you will be ready to read The Ghost of Halloween Past, which is probably one of the darker—spookier books in the series—fitting for a Halloween read.

And when you are finished with book five, you can move on to book six, in time for Christmas, with The Ghost Who Came for Christmas.

Well…what are you waiting for??
