It always makes me smile when a friend launches a new book, especially someone who's as nice of a guy as Nick Wilford.  Reckoning, part 3 of the Black & White Trilogy, is set for release in September. We'll have to wait till then for the story, but we get to see the cover today! Cover design: germancreative The time has come for those who perpetrated wrongdoing and suffering on the land of Loretania to face their judgement. Lord Histender and the other members of the deposed Reformers’ Government are in jail awaiting trial for keeping that country in a state of disease-ridden deprivation, alongside other heinous crimes.   Wellesbury Noon and Ezmerelda Dontible, the kind and benevolent new rulers of Harmonia, are looking forward to seeing justice finally being done.

Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 July 6th Question: If you could live in any book world, which one would you choose. The first book that came to mind was Little House on the Prairie . I grew up watching that show, and I've always felt like I was born a century too late.

Today is release day for book 3 in the Forging America series!  Fool's Iron  is a story of betrayal and redeeming love set in 1853. The way to a man’s heart is through his ego. The way to a woman’s heart is through her child. Debutante Magdalene Rose Meriwether’s fall from grace and banishment from Indianapolis society left her shocked and heartbroken—and hellbent on salvaging what was left of her life. Her problems can be solved if she finds a husband in time. But, most important of all, her unborn child won’t suffer the life of a bastard. Railroad construction worker Edgar Grimes spent his formative years raising his brother and holding a crumbling family together. He lost his mother to abuse, lost the only woman who’d ever favored him to another man, and lost his simple-minded brother to a life of crime. The same booze that washed his father into ruin is Edgar’s means of coping with a life not much worth living—un...
