For a limited time (Monday June 24th, 2024 to Friday June 28th, 2024) the KINDLE version of my debut novel from 2010 will be FREE on all AMAZON platforms! SUMMER ON FIRE is free! Grab it now!

This is a young adult novel.

Here’s the cover blurb from SUMMER ON FIRE:

Zach Carson is a loyal friend. But is loyalty enough to keep best friends together when one of them sets fire to the rural barn they use as the local hangout?

Zach, Jeff Barsell and Arnie Wilson struggle to pick up the pieces when news spreads that a body was discovered in the burnt out shell of the neighboring home. When the word murder is used by the local police, the stakes grow even higher. When the police start searching for their most likely suspect—none other than Jeff’s older brother, and nemesis, Marty Barsell—the boys decide to join forces and come up with a way to prove his innocence.

But just how innocent is Marty Barsell? When Marty admits to being at the scene of the crime, the three friends enlist the help of Zach’s annoying sister, Sherry, as well as the sympathetic town eccentric, Ms. Halverton. But can they keep it together long enough to save Marty, and themselves, from eminent catastrophe? Summer on Fire is the story of friendships, and the lines we are asked to cross in order to keep them.

Summer on Fire was originally published by MuseItUp Publishing out of Montreal, Canada. Here’s the original cover from the publisher:

It’s time for another free book! For the next four days my novella, THE REASONS, will be free on ALL Amazon platforms!

THE REASONS was originally penned in 72 hours at the 2008 Muskoka Novel Marathon. It went on to win the 2008 BEST ADULT NOVEL AWARD, as chosen by a panel of industry judges (Please note that it won the ADULT award…though I normally write Young Adult fiction, I occasionally write a story with adult themes. Don’t mistaken this one for Young Adult.).

After a year of heavy editing, THE REASONS was picked up and published by MUSA Publishing. This is when it won its second award! It received Musa’s in-house EDITOR’S TOP PICK AWARD.

The Reasons cover with the stamp of Editor’s Top Pick Award…

Sadly, Musa has closed its doors. Both Sebastian’s Poet and The Reasons were published by this publisher. They are both still available on Amazon, with new covers. For the next four days, you can pick up THE REASONS for FREE!

Let’s call this another PRIDE MONTH freebie…a gift from me to you! Please note there are no outwardly LGBTQ characters in this book, but who knows (-;

THE REASONS is the story of a highly dysfunctional family striving to survive. Aren’t all stories essentially a take on this theme? No? Just me?

You can click on this link on the Muskoka Novel Marathon website to read the first chapter of THE REASONS if you are so inclined…but since it’s free on Amazon, you could simply rush to Amazon and download the entire book!

Here’s the cover blurb for THE REASONS:

With a mostly absent father, a deceased older sister, a younger sister on the verge of invisibility, and a certifiably insane mother, Tobias Reason is forced to grow up quickly. Though he tries to be a surrogate parent to his sister, their broken mother, Maggie, takes up a lot of his time. Annabel falls to the wayside and becomes a ghost in their chaotic existence.

When Maggie flippantly hands her mother’s house over to Tobias, he sees an opportunity to learn how and why his family became so shattered. Be careful what you wish for. When his world begins to collapse from the weight of un-buried secrets, he focuses on a stranger from his parents’ past. Only by eliminating the past, he believes, can he make his family whole again.

The Reasons won the Muskoka Novel Marathon’s 2008 BEST ADULT NOVEL AWARD.
