Win An Audiobook Copy of The Ticket

Hey there,

Most of my blog readers are members of my Readers’ Club, but just in case you aren’t, consider joining today. I don’t spam you, because I hate getting too much email myself. First, you’ll get a note explaining what my readers club offers, and you’ll be able to download a free copy of Leap. Then, a week later I’ll check in to make sure you were able to download the book, help you out if you weren’t, and I’ll offer up any news/ free or discounted book deals and contests I may want to tell you about. I’ll only email monthly or so with news and links to freebies in the romance and fantasy genres.

This month and next, I’ll be entering current members and any new members in my special draw for a copy of The Ticket audiobook, which will be released by Tantor Audio on Audible and in other audio stores worldwide on April 17th. The draw will take place in late April, once I have access to a download link for you. I’m also entering club members in my special $50 Amazon Giftcard draw! That draw is on Summer Solstice, June 21, and it’s to celebrate my first novel, Strangely, Incredibly Good being chosen for the Prime reading program, and just to thank all of YOU for reading, reviewing and sharing about my work.

SIGN UP FOR MY READERS CLUB

Lots of cool things happening right now!  Thanks for reading..and soon, for listening!

Heather 🙂

Business is booming! I’m busy, and a little torn up (sprained knee) so I’m unable to do a YouTube vid for a while, but leave any questions below and I’ll try to answer them next YouTube vid. Here’s one of my more popular videos for you to watch:

 


Thanks as always for reading and watching,

But, This Year

I’m busy as a bee, can’t you see? It makes me seem important,

like sand to the sea. The busy ones are achieving, while

the rest of us, just dreaming, and time is the green stuff

in an age where love is not enough. But year after year,

rushing flower to hive; pocket full of pollen, does it make me feel alive?

This year will be different. I’ll spend the currency of time.

An hour with my mother is worth all the world’s dimes.

Never too busy to help out a friend, to walk in the woods,

to seek ’round the bend. Never too busy to sit under the sky,

watch the clouds rolling, wipe a tear from her eye.

I’m busy as a bee, it’s what we all say.

But, this year, I’m a flower. I’ll blossom and sway.

Walls

 

There are bad hombres out there, you say

and we need to build a wall to

keep them out.

 

You’ve built that wall,

quickly, cleverly,

though it’s invisible.

You’ve kept out the innocents,

built blocks around basic needs.

 

You promised to pick up the economy

by the strength of your majestic hands

instead you started a flood:

supreme rage

threats of war.

 

You’ve built walls around the world:

 

walls between men and women

walls between races and lovers

walls between politicians who worked together

walls of indifference

between countries that once were friendly neighbors

 

and that glass ceiling won’t come crashing down

as long as you’re in power.

 

When I see you on TV

sputtering your hate and ignorance

I can’t help but think of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters;

that cruel, crazed look on his face as he stomped on every building,

every person in his way.

He was only destroyed by team work

and some cool technology.

 

I’m not saying we should blow you up into marshmallow goo.

 

I didn’t write that.

Violence is never an answer,

contrary to what you’ve insinuated in

your many misspelled tweets.

 

But there’s got to be a better way for us.

A way without walls.

Or maybe, simply, with

four walls around you.
