About
I am an author, freelance writer and website builder. I write about my two loves, the paranormal and the blues. The common ground between my loves is history. I love history. My latest book is The Irish Slaves, a non-fiction account of a little-known part of Irish history. The one before that was Haunted Marietta, written for the History Press about my town, Marietta, GA, which recently went into its second printing! I also wrote Ghost to Coast and Ghost to Coast Tours and Haunted Places. For the blues, I wrote T'ain't Nobody's Business If I Do, about women blues singers, and I write a column for examiner.com, Atlanta Blues Examiner. You can learn all about my websites, directories, and more about my books at the website listed above.
Description
<p>(Book 1)<br />Betrayed by the woman he loved and on the verge of destitution, artist Jonathan Martinez channels his anguish and rage into what will become his greatest masterpiece—Passion and Betrayal. The painting, critically acclaimed, ushers him into the world of fine art and allows him to realize his dreams. Stepping out of the shadows, he transforms into Phillipe, a wealthy artist and sought-after bachelor who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle—including his pick of any woman he desires.<br /><br />But when Phillipe least expects, the woman who almost destroyed him returns on the arm of his agent. Despite his anger, she awakens the part of his soul he entombed long ago. The part of him that can never forget her, no matter how deeply he buries himself in his art.<br /><br />With everything he's accomplished at stake, can Phillipe overpower the demons that haunt him and learn to love again? Or will his heart remain a shattered work of art that can never be restored?</p>
Story Behind The Book
While I was creating my weekly newsletter for children of safe, fun websites, Fabulous Freebies and Fun Links for Kids, I kept running across great recipes for creating all sorts of craft supplies, from glue to fingerpaint, watercolors, clay, and many, many more. I decided to collect them for my grandchildren and to share with others who might love the idea of knowing exactly what is in the craft supplies their children are using, as well as the budget-friendly and ecological nature of using ingredients you already have at home! Who knew you can even recycle dryer ilnt to make clay, for instance? Or what mom of a toddler wouldn't appreciate edible clay and fingerpaint? So, that is the story behind this little book. I added the stories, starring my grandchildren just for fun!
