Getting Back To It
You know how life is a rollercoaster? Well, it has sure been one heck of a ride for me the last two years. From Covid (I had it twice, a severe case that left me with an IV drip), developing and struggling with depression, life changes, and finally getting a diagnosis for health issues I have been having - and that is just a few things.

| It has been a bit since I can honestly say I wanted to give a book higher than a 5-star. The time has come with this story. When you read a book that pulls you in and you're easily irritated when real life gets in the way, it's hard to not rate it hi ...more | |

| Ms. Romig is, in my opinion, the QUEEN of emotionally engaging romantic suspense storytelling. Every word has purpose, every action taken by a character is intentional, and every scene is written to perfection to capture, hold, and engage the reader ...more | |
“You have cancer."
Three words. The heaviest, darkest words I'd ever heard in my life.
"What are my options?" I asked. Numb. That's what I felt. Cold. Numb. Empty. All adjectives to describe this feeling racing through me after hearing those three words.
"We could begin chemo followed by radiation. It would prolong life by at least a year."
A year. One year filled with hospital visits, pain, and frequent visits to the porcelain throne. Do I want that?
"A year with treatment? How long if I choose nothing?"
A cold stare was my response before she replied.
"Honestly?"
I nodded. "Shoot it to me straight."
"With no treatment, you'd be lucky to see another year."
It was early spring in the United States. So, nine months? I'd have just under a year to prepare my husband and children, family and friends, to live without me. Could I? Should I? With treatment I'd gain maybe one more year. But, what would be the quality?
"So with or without treatment, the best I'm looking at is a year and a half?"
She learned forward before replying, "Yes. Best case scenario, with aggressive treatment, a year and a half."
I nodded.
How am I supposed to act when given a death sentence?

Hi.I’d like to introduce myself. Besides being the author of the Jonathon Stones Mystery Series, I am a strong Author's Advocate. I write articles highlighting other authors books. Also, I do author interviews and post them on my blogs. Thanks for friending me. Here’s my latest article.
Authors: The Task of Finding Readers – A Study
Over 30 Outstanding Authors Share Their Experiences.
All authors can learn something from this study.
As they say “This is great stuff. As authors try to gain traction in today’s marketplace. The secret besides writing good books is to find readers and establish relationships.”
You can view the complete study on the blog: HBS Author’s Spotlight
