The First Snow of Winter - Oh My . . .
Since December 26, I've been getting myself
physically ready for this – shoveling hundreds of pounds of the cold white
stuff off my driveway. My exercise regimen, including walking, meditation, and
some weight exercises, is two days exercise, one day recovery, and for the past
week, I've been feeling stronger and ready for the snow demons
.
There they were this morning – a white blanket
covering lawn, driveway and street. I have a dental appointment today, and if I
want to make it – I thought – the snow had to go. So, out I went, snow shovel
at the ready. I was going great guns until it was brought to my attention that
I’d neglected an important element of any job I endeavor to do around the house
– how to deal with a micro-managing, anal retentive spouse who insists on
supervising everything I do down to the tiniest detail. Believe me, a few
minutes of that, when your calves are burning and your back is aching from
hefting snow, is taxing. Fortunately, because I meditate, I’m able with a
little effort to disconnect myself mentally from bothersome people or events,
so after a few minutes of my silent heaving of snow (my way, not hers, which
takes twice as long), she decided I was too stubborn and went inside to brew a
pot of tea. She’s a micromanager, but she can be considerate in her own way. A
hot cup of tea helped mitigate the annoyance I felt about her standing behind
me trying to direct the snow shovel.
Next time it snows, I’m getting up before 5:00 am,
while she’s still asleep, and removing it. That’ll show her!

COME, THE DARK
by USA Today Bestselling Author, Rebecca Hamilton
Rose desperately wants to escape the abuse of the father who impregnated her and the dark spirits that haunt her life. Being thrust from Georgia 1961 into the era of Salem’s infamous witch trials isn’t what she had in mind, and now her daughter is left hopelessly out of reach.
The only way to return to her daughter is by facing certain death to banish the dark spirits that plague Salem. If she doesn’t eliminate these dark spirits in time, they will destroy civilization and trap her in this strange new place, ages away from her daughter.
Even if she can complete the task in time to return home to save her daughter, there’s still one problem: she’s falling in love with a man who can’t return with her. Achieving her goals will force her to choose between the only man who has never betrayed her and a daughter she can’t quite remember but will never forget.
A heart-wrenching tale of a mother’s love for her daughter, this romantic paranormal fantasy underlines the depravity of both historical and modern society while capturing the essence of sacrifice and devotion.
TRIGGER WARNING: This book deals with the sensitive subject of sexual abuse.

NOW OPTIONED FOR FILM!
At twenty-two, practicing Wiccan Sophia Parsons is scratching out a living waiting tables in her Rocky Mountain hometown, a pariah after a string of unsolved murders with only one thing in common: her.
Sophia can imagine lots of ways to improve her life, but she'd settle for just getting rid of the buzzing noise in her head. When the spell she casts goes wrong, the static turns into voices. Her personal demons get company, and the newcomers are dangerous.
One of them is a man named Charles, who Sophia falls for despite her better judgment. He has connections that might help her unveil the mystery surrounding her ancestor's hanging, but she gets more than she bargains for when she finally decides to trust him.
The Forever Girl is a full-length Paranormal Fantasy novel that will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, witches, vampires, ghosts, paranormal mystery, and paranormal horror.
