Telling Fortunes and The Future of this Blog

 

Thanks to all who have read my short story "A Spring Break Carol."  It's had over 100 downloads since it has been available.  

 
I hope you will also try the first novel in my "Cedar Springs Psychic" Series, Telling Fortunes.  You can find it on Amazon as a Kindle ebook here (under my "other" name, Benita Huffman).  If you don't have a Kindle, you can download a free Kindle reader for various devices.

Telling Fortunes is the story of psychic Cassie James, who gives up her chance of fame for a desk job in her small hometown.  Her cousin hopes to save her soul, teen girls beg her to read their palms, and a science teacher wants to discredit her.  But just as she begins to find some peace and an unexpected love, old family secrets threaten her new life, and Cassie realizes that seeing the future isn't enough to deal with the sins of the past.   

 

I've had fun writing Telling Fortunes, and I hope people enjoy reading it.  Please consider leaving an honest review and telling others.

 

What's Next for the Blog?

I call this blog "What the Write Hand is Doing."  I'm interested in how writing enriches, complicates, and compliments a busy life.  We've all got plenty to do, so why make space for writing or other creative passions?

 

Over the next few months, "What the Write Hand is Doing" will host some question-and-answer sessions with other people who make writing part of already full lives. 

 

Here are some of the writers we'll be hearing from:

 

Poet Kelly Whiddon, author of the poetry collection The House Began to Tilt and winner of the 2011 Adrienne Bond Award.  Her work has appeared in Crab Orchard Review, Poetry International, Meridian, Southern Poetry Review, and Slipstream.  She has been featured in Writing on Napkins at the Sunshine Club: An Anthology of Poets Writing in Macon.

 

Clay Morton and Gail Morton, authors of Why Johnny Doesn't Flap: NT is OK, a picture book that has been called "an irreverent subversion" and "a breath of fresh air" as it presents a narrator trying to understand why neurotypical people act in such peculiar ways.

 

Novelist Robin Johns Grant, author of Summer's Winter (bronze medal winner for Romance-Suspense in the International Readers' Favorite Book Awards) and Jordan's Shadow.  Robin was named 2014 Author of the Year by the Georgia Association of College Stores.
