Preview of the new novel God is blessing me to write, The Cabin in the Woods:
"I do not even know where to begin my story. Honestly, I am still not even sure what happened at that old cabin up by Coleman’s Tower. You see, I was in one of the roughest spots I had ever been in at that time, so I had to have somewhere to take shelter. Have you ever had a moment that you just needed to hide from everyone around you? I thought back to when I was a child, and I would be afraid of what my dad was going to do to me. Yes, my dad was abusive. He had an alcohol problem that he just couldn’t shake it seemed, no matter how hard my mamma prayed. I used to run to my room, build myself a pillow fort, and turn off all of the lights. I imagined I was in a castle with walls that could never be penetrated, but that was not always the case. I often heard my mom crying downstairs after my dad had beaten her once again. It was hard to hear her weep like that, but she had made me promise I would always hide when my dad was like that. Well, enough of that story, I have a different one to tell. This one involves me, a dead man, and a very special visitor."
