Hello friends and fellow writers
Judging for Florida Writers Association's RPLA awards is winding down. I am pleased to announce that my published entry, Beyond the Stone Eagle Gate, and my soon to be published short story "The Water's Edge" are Finalists this year. Winners of First, Second, and Third place are announced at Florida Writers Association's annual conference in October. This year the conference will be a virtual experience. The workshops and awards will be online October 16 and 17.
As many of you know, I am now living near Shepherdstown, WV, a beautiful, historic town on the Potomac. Softcover print copies of my historical fiction ghost story BEYOND THE STONE EAGLE GATE are available at the Four Seasons Bookstore in Shepherdstown, WV. Digital copies can be obtained on Amazon, Kobo, Tolino, Baker and Taylor, Scribd, and Barnes and Noble. If you're not near Shepherdstown, you can order print copies from On-Line stores such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Another exciting announcement: my middle grade story THE WHISPERING CHIMNEY had its debut Nov. 28, 2019. In this story eleven-year-old Bethany discovers a mysterious stone chimney on a ridge behind her family's rented farm. What happens there opens her eyes to both the past and the present. The question is: can crossing back in time kill her?
Four Seasons Bookstore is preparing an anthology of ghost stories. My submission "The Water's Edge" will be included.

Review of The Whispering Chimney
A story of love and courage, The Whispering Chimney enthralled me from the first page until the last. Set amidst the well-described beauty of rural West Virginia, eleven-year-old Bethany discovers the ghosts of a bygone era still walk along the hills. This window on the past becomes clearer, and draws the reader deep into struggles once endured. Recommended for young readers as an interwoven tale of the long-past and challenging present. Sharon Keller Johnson author of Milky Way Rising and Lure of the Grove. |
