WE ARE LIVE IN 4 DAYS!

Six more days to the live release of Summer’s End. Here’s today’s peep into Chapter 13 . . .

Regan is thinking about her first choice in colleges.

Eckerd is
my new first choice. I’m kind of excited about this place. It’s
located in St. Petersburg, FL, right on the beach of the Gulf
of Mexico near Tampa. It has a tropical climate—a must
have, in my opinion. They have a hands-on curriculum and
a fleet of vessels at their disposal. Even some of the faculty
takes on summer and winter research in the Caribbean and
offer students positions as assistants. How amazing would
that be? It’s a private school so I’d assumed the tuition would
be outrageous. Surprisingly, their tuition is not really any
higher than public universities for non-residents.

Thanks for sharing this on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or your favorite social media. . . . and tune in tomorrow for more excerpts from Summer’s End.

THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

We go live in 6 days!

Six more days to the live release of Summer’s End. Did you enjoy yesterday’s quote? Here’s today’s excerpt from Chapter 9 . . .

This is but a moment, though. How could I stay here in
this cage? No expanding my horizons, just getting older and
drowning in gossip. What about my dream—the science,
the ocean? Am I going to let a few perfect moments overshadow
years of oppressive banter and gossip, if I stay? I’ll
never get away from here if I don’t do it as soon as I can.
We turn off the main road, and Lane clicks off the radio.

“You’re awful quiet. What are you thinking about?”

I watch his expression. “I was just absorbing the sights
and smells of summer’s end,” I answer, with a contrite smile, “And fighting a war.”

If you want to know more about Regan, pre-ordering Summer’s End is a great option. Stay tuned tomorrow for more of Regan’s story. And as always, you are welcome to share on your favorite social media sites.

DAY 7 — COUNTDOWN TO RELEASE

Our Countdown Continues

We go live in 7 days!

Seven more days to the live release of Summer’s End. Did you enjoy yesterday’s quote? Take a bite of this snip-it from Chapter 7 . . .

Susanna lost her scholarship, her chance to get out of this
town, and the one thing she’ll never get back—her virginity.
She didn’t even go to community college that first year after
high school, because she had to work to pay for her and her
baby. Her parents told her, if she wanted to play house like
an adult, she could work like one, too. Jesse didn’t stay with
her. He went off to college and got his degree. He’s paying
child support now and sees their little girl every other week.
Susanna, on the other hand, is still trying to get through
college.

Feel free to share on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. . . . and tune in tomorrow for more excerpts from Summer’s End.

Out of the Box - Shed Your Skin

July 11, 2016

What hides deep within

Intentionally hidden

Covered in shame

Covered in fear

Camouflaged in flesh

Justified by self preservation

Mashed into cracks and crevices

Where they cannot be seen

Death and harm are assumed

Yet there is light unyielding - unexplored

Escape the boundaries that have enclosed

More than space consumed

Stand - Step

over the edge

out of the box

off the ledge
