Am preoccupied cooking (Bar B Q) for a dinner party I’m having for my grandson’s friend from childhood who is leaving for a job in Montana. The two “go back to” about the 1st grade and days when I took them for laser tag and ducked their Ninja Turtle moves. The friend is going to be a TV sports anchor there and the distance, to me, is like sending him off to the New World. I have a couple of nieces and a nephew who survived and even enjoyed life in Montana so it should be pleasant.
My other thought is to followers who got tricked into thinking I, as a blogger, know about computers. The URL I sent out for it is, of course, wrong. But I’m impressed with the first two followers who signed up with apparently no problems. They “won” the IQ test and I failed it miserably.
My book cover is done after 3 mock-ups and I love it. Can’t put it here as it is “corrupted” and can’t be copied yet. Something about rights and/or copyrights. I’m sure the Chinese have it with no problems as Savannah Spell was available in Chinese online before I even had a copy of it in English. Oh well, such is our small world after all.
Guess that makes Montana right next door.

cover blurb
This historical novel includes adventure and
a triangle between an American Colonial
planter’s daughter Kathryn and two suitors,
Martin a Patriot and Loyalist Brent during
the American War for Independence. Other
characters include a dynamic multiracial
girl, Sky, an orphan who is so poor she
has no last name and only the clothes
on her back plus the voodoo art learned
from her Granny. She survives by murder
and selling herself into slavery. Nicole
of Philadelphia creates a minor, second,
scandalous triangle with her obsession to
marry Martin Caldwell’s family fortune and
elegant mansion. Based on the era’s factual
history the story begins in Savannah but
moves to Charleston, Philadelphia, New
Jersey, Paris and London. Other characters
also “sell” themselves but not as bondage
slaves. One, a humble Minister’s daughter
to escape her strict parents. From Benjamin
Franklin and his diplomats of the period to
officers like Nathaniel Greene, Cornwallis,
Daniel Morgan, Banastre Tarleton, Mad
Anthony Wayne, Lighthorse Harry Lee
and others equally real but lesser known...
the gossipy politics and researched truths
of their personal and public battles are
included. There is no better, easier or more
entertaining way to learn our country’s
founding history in a nutshell.
