Why people should read my books

Reading a book means traveling to a world where you don’t reside. Readers choose different worlds. Some like to read travel books to gain information on places they would like to visit and, perhaps, dream of living there. Some readers enjoy knowing what the world was like millions of years ago.

Others are obsessed with spending their reading moments in time travel and therefore relish visiting the countries and time in the life of their ancestors. They can meet and bring them into their lives as though they knew them. Many readers look forward to finding a novel that can transport them to a place and time in life where they would like to share the experiences and incidents of the characters within their lives. They can read, enter an imaginary world, and become part of their character’s life.

Even in horror and mystery novels, the reader becomes involved in the emotions and anxieties of each character. I like to write about real life: present, past, and future and I feel my books transport readers to a world where they would like to live. Such is the case of the main characters, Helen Sheppard and Jake Hubbard, in Loving Whispers. Comments have been made by several who have read the book that they would like to be Helen and meet Jake because my characters became natural to them. My characters experienced circumstances just as my readers were in their lives.

They wanted the fairytale. Not all stories are fairytales, but they can have an ending that brings closure, comfort, and even a considerable amount of happiness for some. I like to relate to my audience’s family situations and how my characters survive. In my newest novel, Cotton Field Sunset, the story is based on the authentic experiences of a West Texas family and how they survive the changes in their lives. I relate to their heartbreaks, struggles, and reasons for celebrating life. Cotton Field Sunset could be their family.
