The Cleaner by Mark Dawson

I am so glad to be out of the desert that was my several month long reading slump. This month, my reader's brain has kicked into high gear, and I've suddenly started reading a book every few days (not super fast by some standards, but it's a good clip for me).

One of the books that helped get me out of the weeds was The Cleaner by Mark Dawson. After the flop that was Code Name Camelot, it was great to pick up a book that was fast paced, kept my interest, and left me wanting to read more.

I've followed Mark Dawson for a few years now, and even met him in 2019. His catalog is impressive, and he was pleasant when we met, so I added him to the tower that is my TBR pile. (I swear, that thing gets bigger every day.)

I'm happy I finally got to it!

John Milton decides he's fed up with being a guy who "takes care of things". He's tired, aging, and ready to help people instead of hurt them. He goes rogue in the best way, deciding to help a family dealing with poverty, gang wars, and an uncertain future.

If you like hand to hand combat, bad guys getting what they deserve, shoot-outs and tales of an underdog, this may be the book for you. You can find it on Amazon right here, and give it a try yourself.

True Midnight Ramblings

Ah, July. Normally a time of constant celebration, this month has been especially trying and filled with sleepless nights and wandering days. I am looking forward to August when friends return from far off places, grief will be a little closer to subdued, and life will begin to return to normalcy (I hope). In a fit of sleeplessness spurred from a sorrow filled day on the horizon, a late-night emergency and lots of random thoughts and feelings I decided to hover around the internets a while until my eyes start to feel a little more heavy. I had received a notification that there have been some updates here on Blogger/Blogspot and so I decided to check them out now that I am left with very little to do for the next 8 hours or so. You may notice that this blog, as well as my other two blogs ( A Smaller Bottom and Meet Your Marker ), has received a sudden face-lift. I was really surprised at the new backgrounds and customizations on the templates toolbar, and ha...

Getting Ready...

... for my very first author appearance in November. It's exciting! It's nerve wracking! It's a great opportunity! It's terrifying! It's going to be a great way to kick off the holiday season! I've got some books on order so there will be copies of both Age/Sex/Location: Love is Just a Click Away and A Giraffe In The Room available for sale. This is my first step into taking my writing on the road - maybe 2014 will include a book tour if this goes well...?

Don't Wait

I awoke Friday morning to a message from someone whose name was only vaguely familiar. Laying in bed, scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone, I opened the message. It was a quick note from a woman who was good friends with a woman who I have been close to for over a decade. I read it, and reeled with shock. My friend, a woman who had been with me through the best and worst of times, is gone. Taken from this life because of a driver who didn't stop at a stop sign on a country road. "Accidents happen," many say. It's true, but it isn't right. We never know when our time is going to be up. Today might be your last day, or mine. There's no way of predicting what will happen tomorrow... this evening... fifteen minutes from now. There are many tragedies stemming from this simple accident. First, a mother with fierce love of her two teenage children was stolen from them. A woman who was a pillar of support for so many has fallen from their list of who to cal...
