Sneak Peak at a Scene from Cupid’s Quest

Cupid’s Quest is in final edits and my daughter is working on the book cover design. It will be released in the next few months on Amazon. Here is a sneak peak from a scene I just added. You’ve heard me talk about my character Libby Henderson before. she is a nut!

Here’s what Libby has been up to. First, she and some other nursing home residents were out joy riding in the nursing home van. The man driving hadn’t renewed his license for 15 years or more. So, they are at the police station because the officer wanted to call someone to come pick them up rather than allowing them to drive anymore. Here is what happens…

When Gracie and Sinclaire arrived at the police station, the front desk sergeant had his head in his hands and the office looked as though a nuclear holocaust had hit. Papers were slung from the desks angled behind the front reception area, one officer cowered on the floor behind his swivel chair and another cowered behind a copy machine.

Libby Hendersonende

stood in the center of the room, her cane raised  to waist level. It was obvious she’d already swung the cane in a circle and knocked all the items off at least two desks. “Listen up, Roger, you either book me or let me go. I have rights.”

“My name is Eric,” the young officer said, a slight sheen of tears in his young eyes. He couldn’t be more than three days out of the police academy.

“Don’t I get a phone call, Roger?” Libby swung the cane in a semi-circle and Eric crouched behind the chair back.

“I am Officer Eric,” he said again.

“What did you say, Roger?”

As you can see, Libby is quite a character. She tries really hard to take over every scene that I write in this book. I think you’re going to come to love her as much as I do, though.

Vote Tuesday November 4th!

Dear Friends,

In this very historical and vital election, I felt the need to share my plans for next Tuesday.

First, I want to encourage you to take the time to participate in the voting process. We are so blessed in this country to have the freedom to choose our political leaders. Yet, only around half of our eligible population votes. Exercise your right to vote and get out there next Tuesday. Off peak hours are typically 11 am to 1 pm, and lines will likely not be as long during those times.

I am supporting John McCain for president. Senator McCain’s views line up most closely with mine, including:

*Against partial birth abortion. Partial birth abortion is a heinous crime. It is murder as far as I’m concerned.

*Against taxes. We don’t need anyone to be taxed with the way the economy is struggling. To tax small businesses will translate to lost jobs.

*Against socialism. Spreading the wealth around is socialism.

*He makes me feel safer. I know that if our country were attacked again as on 9/11, that John McCain has the experience to know how to handle the situation and protect our citizens.

I hope you’ll consider voting for John McCain this coming Tuesday, but most of all, I hope that you exercise your American patriotic right to vote.

God bless!

Update on Morgan

Good news. I hear that Morgan is doing better. Her mother has posted to the blog that she may even get out of the hospital by Sunday or Monday. Just in time to start Kindergarten. The power of prayer is amazing and I think this little girl is going to have a very strong testimony to share about her miraculous recovery.
