It’s happened to most of us. We try to pull an April fool’s joke, and it backfires or someone pulls a joke on you and it’s more hurtful than funny. Well, today isn’t about fooling our readers. Actually, I have some exciting book-related news. On April 21st, book #2 of my Doc Holliday Mystery series releases.
Don’t you just love the cover?
Enjoy a sneak preview of “The Boneyard.”
“This place gives me the creeps,” grandmother’s voice sounded strained. “Tullah, you’re white as a sheet.”
Dad adjusted the .45 on his hip as if expecting trouble. I felt as if someone was walking on my grave without me being in it. Part of me wanted to turn around, get on my horse and race away from this place. The other part was held by a voice inside my head saying I’m here. We’re all here. Find us. Please find us.
I could feel that the voice was in a place—a deep dark place. I felt it in me, and it clawed its way up my spine. I knew it would come out my mouth like a regurgitation of emotion if I let it.
I inhaled. I would never get used to these surprised visits of the mind that iced my blood and burdened my heart. I never had them when my mother was alive. Had she somehow in death gifted me with this curse?
I stood there, listening to the hum of mosquitoes and my dog’s whines, and staring into the dark marsh until I became aware of the welling of tears in my eyes. I gripped his arms. “Dad, this is a place of death.”
The Boneyard available in print and Ebook at Amazon. com

Excellent post, Loretta! I personally hate April Fool's Day. I despise pranks and Jokes at other people's expense and spend the whole day wishing it was over. Definitely my second least favorite day of the year (after tax day which is also in April). Thank you for a lovely read that makes the day a lot sweeter!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Kathy. I've been the brunt of some no-so funny April Fool's jokes that left me with hurt feelings. Also, tax day, UGH! Thanks for dropping by. I hope this April 1st will be a happy one for you. And that's no joke!
ReplyDeleteI gotta disagree with you gals there. This is the first April Fool's Day I haven't done something mischievous. Just didn't have the energy. I try to keep things harmless. Hubby is really easy to dupe. I think my favorite is the Toilet Monster that you suction cup below the seat, so when you open it, it jumps out at you.
ReplyDeleteLoretta, I can't wait to read your book. It sounds chilling and thrilling! Just that small sample shows the high quality of writing and your masterful touch.Congratulations!
Jennifer, I'm glad your pranks are fun and harmless. Thanks for the kudos. I hope you enjoy The Boneyard. Also, take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for April Fool's either, although I always know my son is going to "get me" one way or another lol. Your book The Boneyard sounds like a scary and mesmerizing story-- can't wait! Thank you for highlighting the Pen Dames!
ReplyDeleteI suppose the reason I'm not a fan of April Fool's is because my father "thought" he was a great jokster; except his pranks were more cruel than funny. I hope you enjoy The Boneyard. And that's no joke. LOL!
