Reaching out towards a whole new world
Going to the bookshelf in a store or a library, I reach out with a tentative hand – towards a world – a whole new world. The books are waiting just beyond reach, ready to pull me into their orbit. My hand hovers, not quite touching any of them. I’m looking, wafting, not quite ready to commit yet. In that delicious anticipation I linger until a color or word catches my eye and my hand closes around the spine of my choice. I flip to the description and my journey begins.
Words matter; we surely must know that by now. They inspire us, ignite us, open our hearts, and make us laugh ’til tears stream down our cheeks. We are connected by them, mind to mind, heart to heart. In the end, what we know is that words tell our stories, lighting our way on this bumpy, human path, reminding us, as our shoulders brush against each other’s in the darkness, that we are all in this together, making our way home. – Jody Seay
It is rewarding to write something that resonates in another person and connects heart-to-heart. I love hearing stories and I also love the feel of books, the smell of books, the weight of a book in my hand. I love to read. So it is my honor, to present to you, our new book…
… about a scared young mother and wife, who was lost in a new world, who did not have the support and protection from those that promised it. And what she did, which was terrible. And it is about one man who was not prepared to take on her terrible burden – but he did. And it is about his family who suffered because of his compassion and bulldogged refusal to let bullies win. His clan suffered, but they fought too, to keep the family intact and that is a terribly beautiful part of this story. And, finally, this book looks at our American justice system…
… and at the end of it, I am more proud to live in this country than I ever have been. And that is because of this book.
So, we share our new book, ALMOST A MURDER, with you. We hope you enjoy it. We’re confident you will.
Please let us know you enjoyed this “new world” we offer – tell us. And spread the word, too! The book is out. It’s spinning in the universe and creating it’s own gravitational pull. Choose it. Hold it. Sniff it. Enter it. Love it! And tell others about it. Happy explorations…
