We Can’t Control the Outcome
I drove home alone Friday night. Sunset raged crimson, gold, and violent – flames licking the sky – and mountains faded to silhouettes against the blazing horizon. In the back seat, the dog panted quietly. I gripped the wheel with both hands as if the car was sliding, but the road was straight and dry. There were no cars in front of me and none behind. Still, dread chewed at my insides. I wanted

Enjoyed this one almost as much as I enjoyed The Stand. Loved the characters, the underlying theme, and, as always, Kings imagination. Definitely recommended.

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”

― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Just wanted to let you all know that Pipe Dreamsis FREE today on Kindle.Check it out if you get a chance.http://www.amazon.com/Pipe-Dreams-ebo...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm kicking off a blog tour today and there are several opportunities to win a copy of Pipe Dreams . Here's the link if you're interested and all the best.http://muffin.wow-womenonwriting.com/

Check out the latest review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Pipe Dreams is live on Amazon! So excited. The giveaway starts tomorrow. Hope you check it out and let me know what you think. :)
My new novel, Pipe Dreams, will be released on June 3, 2013. I am SO excited. If gene spicing could merge Margaret Atwood and Suzanne Collins, the resulting author might write this book.But why should you care?
Because you love dystopian fiction?
Because Pipe Dreams is fast paced, immensely enjoyable, and hard to put down?
Because it speaks an important truth about how society evolves?
Maybe, but I think the real reason you should care is that I'm paying it forward. 25% of the sales of this book -- at least through the end of June -- will go to an individual in pursuit of his or her dreams.
If you want to know why, or how you can help me help others to achieve their dreams, visit:

Shaping Destiny has a new cover and is FREE on kindle this weekend -- March 16 & 17. Today a fan posted on facebook, "Destiny,I am in the process of reading your book Shaping Destiny.
My aunt Margaret bought it for me for my birthday.
I honestly can't put into words how much I love it.
I haven't even finished reading it because I am cherishing every chapter.
Your beauty, strength, and honesty shines through in your work and your book is helping me transform and gain the courage I've been seeking.
I am already planning on purchasing copies for my friends and relatives.
Thank you for being passionate and courageous so that others can follow their dreams too!
With love and gratitude,
Frances"
