Last week I finished my third book. “Samantha’s Animal
Stories” began one day when I was visiting Galveston Texas. This was years
before the oil spill there. I was lazing about the condo I was staying in and I
had a pad of paper and a pencil. There was no one around, so I did what any
writer would do, I made up a story. This was soon to be the first story in a
series that followed about people and their journeys with their beloved pets. This
story was called “Jessie’s Dog” and it is still the first story to be told in
the book itself. I’ve been sitting on this book for a while now and I kept
editing and editing, until I realized I had edited myself into a hole and
couldn’t get out. So I put the away for a semester of school and a summer
break. My first day of school starts tomorrow, Tuesday, and during the past
month I opened up my book and started editing, for the final time. I’m still
not a 100% happy with it, but I’ve decided it’s time to let it go, for better
or for worse.
For the first couple of months you can “borrow” the book for
free if you have a Kindle. You can read a snippet of it for free on any
internet device. And it’s going on sale for the awhile during its release. The
link to the Kindle version is here: http://www.amazon.com/Samanthas-Animal-Tales-ebook/dp/B00EQUN6WO
Or if you’re a bit old-fashioned like me, and like to have
the actual book in your hands, then go here: http://www.amazon.com/Samanthas-Animal-Tales-Samantha-Blackwell/dp/147834668X/ref=tmm_pap_title_0#
