Black Purple Sky

Black Purple Sky

This is a work in progress.  The above picture will be the book cover (front and back, paperback) of my soon to be released 8th book, "Black Purple Sky".   Synopsis to come soon. Roughly, it's about survival and love. 

Free book!

Now through the end of February, "Lessons Learned at Summer Camp" is free with coupon code DU95W.  


If you have teen daughters or know someone who does, this is a great book to read together. It will have the two of you discussing all the sensitive issues that are so difficult to initiate.  Based on a true story, this is a life no parent wants their children to experience.  

A day at the beach, and then...

Have you ever challenged yourself?  I mean, seriously challenged yourself!  I did.  I trained, I prepared. I set high goals.  I told people about it. Then, well, then my brain said, oh no you don't.  You can NOT do this.  I wanted to quit.  I whined. I cried.  I prayed. Then, I was encouraged by family and by strangers. I may not have met my goals, but I proved to myself that I am not a quitter.  I DID IT!!!  So, what am I talking about?  Look at all the pictures.  You'll see.

Never give up on your dreams.
