April Newsletter

Wow, March went by quick, and we’re almost to the middle of April already. Spring is here, even with the snow that seems as though it will never end. I dream of gardening and even drool over the bulbs in the store. I smile when I see my sprouting leaves for my iris and daffodils already shooting up. My daffodils even have buds on them and it kills me each year to see them sit in snow. However, the bright yellow against the snow just seems to remind me that warmer days are to come with sun tea, vitamin D, and rain instead of snow. I prefer rain because of the warmer weather, thunder, lightning and rainbows. Other things to look forward to are hanging up heavy coats to the back of the closet, sandals instead of smothering sock and snow boots, or just walking about barefoot. I look forward to traveling with family and not having a care in the world. That is what summer is to me.
One other thing to look forward to, besides this college semester ending, is the release of ‘Till Death do us Part: Annie. I don’t have the official release date yet, probably because God knows I’m struggling with my three term papers and don’t need edits on top of it.
            When “Annie’s” release is known,  to celebrate I will have a contest for a grab bag as you will get to chose the front cover, I’ll be looking for people to do reviews that will go in the cover, and sharing bits and pieces of the sequels to come. “Annie” is the first in a four-part series and is about a young woman struggling to leave an abusive relationship, save her daughters, and get to know her brother that was separated from her at a young age. In the process her daughters vanish, she has amnesia, and is told she is married to a man who is part of a very popular band. With his cold estrangement, a haunting “Iceman” following her around in her tiny shards of memory, and wanting to know the two girls who seem to reach out to her in her nightmares, Annie comes to grip with the fact her worst nightmare is her real life. Sound intriguing? Be on the lookout for more information in the next couple of months.
           
Donations for World Vision
            As promised, with each purchase of Haunting Footsteps, I donated $.50 to World Vision. I sent it as a donation to where it was needed most. That way I hope that it is divided up to go to Haiti, Japan, and other places looking for clean water, food, medicine and education for the children. It was not much, and I tried to hold off until my check came from Wings this month, but I wanted to do something sooner rather than later. So, remember to let others know that it will continue, even with the ‘Till Death do us Part series. I believe in World Vision’s mission as they create a future for those who would not have one if not for those who sponsor the children or make one time donations. Thank you for your help.

Guest Review
Haunting Footsteps is an intriguing book.  I had trouble putting it down. It's so exciting that you can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter.  The characters are easy to relate to.  My favorite was Alexis Jane, the daughter of the main character Kinsey.  She was a brave little soul, very wise and lots of fun.  I would recommend this book to everyone. ~~~Jerrilyn~~~
