The Clock Strikes Midnight

a Rafflecopter giveaway

The Clock Strikes Midnight is a race against time in a quest for revenge and atonement. This is a story about hate, love, betrayal and forgiveness. If you found out you had only 3 months to live, what would you do? That’s the question Janie Knox faces in this fast-paced mystery full of uncertainty and tension that will surprise you until the very last page. Hiding behind the façade of a normal life, Janie keeps her family secrets tucked inside a broken heart. Everything changes on the day she learns she’s going to die. With the clock ticking and her time running out, she rushes to finish what she couldn’t do when she was 17—destroy her mother’s killer. But she can’t do it alone. Janie returns to her childhood home to elicit help from her sister. She faces more than she bargained for when she discovers her sister’s life in shambles. Meanwhile her mother’s convicted killer, her stepfather, recently released from prison, blackmails the sisters and plots to extract millions from the state in retribution. New revelations challenge Janie’s resolve, but she refuses to allow either time or her enemies to her stop her from uncovering the truth she’s held captive for over 20 years.

She reads all kinds of books, including women’s fiction, mysteries, biography, memoir and nonfiction. Joan says, The Clock Strikes Midnight is exactly the kind of book she loves to read. “I write about characters who remind me of myself at times and my sister at times, but never fully so. My stories are told from a woman’s point of view. Characters drive my writing and my reading.” Having grown up in the South with a mother from Westchester County New York, Joan has a unique take on blending the southern traditions with the eye of a northerner. She spent most of her childhood in North Carolina and now resides in Georgia.

Gwyndyn Alexander's Poetry of Vengeance

Poet and Feminist Gwyndyn Alexander has started a project over at Patreon. For a minimum of $1, subscribers will have full access to her poetry (and other writing) that cannot be found anywhere else. This means that for those of you that already have her books (and you really should get them, considering they've been getting rave reviews), you will be getting never-before-seen poems and essays.

Ms. Alexander also has some other bonuses planned for those who pledge above the $1 level, such as free copies of her books, and more.

From her own site:
 
Poetry is a dying art. Fewer publishers are handling poetry, and the magazines that publish poems have very definite -- and limited-- ideas of what they're looking for, and what poets they'll accept.

As a result, more and more poets are turning independent and self-publishing.

I don't write mainstream work. What I write is difficult to read. It's painful. It's honest, and angry, and makes people uncomfortable.

I think that that is the mark of successful poetry. If it doesn't make you feel, doesn't make you think, then it lacks purpose.

So check it out, enrich your life, and feel good about getting a New Orleans writer back to her home city!

Henry Gallant And The Warrior

In the 22th Century, the people of the Solar System have banded together against an alien invasion. Unfortunately, they’re losing—badly. As the only Natural remaining in the genetically engineered officer corps of the United Planet’s fleet, Henry Gallant has unique mental abilities that have proven essential to the defense against the Titan invaders. Nevertheless his fellow officers lack faith in him, and worse, he has angered prominent men by speaking truth to power. Despite this, Admiral Collingsworth has given him command of the Warrior, the most advanced stealth warship in the UP arsenal and ordered him to the alien’s main base to spy, intrigue, and disrupt their war capacity. Gallant’s mission leads to risky battles and painful choices, but no choice is more personal, or intimate, than the choice to face your own death. And for Henry Gallant—a flawed young man, in a hopeless situation, against overwhelming odds—a dreadful decision looms before him. He has only one saving grace—he is unafraid. Purchase link: AMAZON
