THERAPY AND POSSIBLE RELEASE

SOUNDS GOOD ... AUGUST 02 2012....

The only thing remaining is release from either my family doctor (apt. pending) or my neurologist (apt. pending).

Now if only the remodeling would move along. 

The waiting is already getting to be too much.  Will be glad to get my life back to normal.

Have finished reading the second newest release as published by Double Edge Press.  Once again it is a winner.  Guess I'll revue it today.

Then it may be  while before I get another one read.  Will play it by ear.

Did get my Royalty Check yesterday ( this is based on the sale of my 5 books) and was surprised and pleased.

Now, on to the next book review:

THE CROSS ON COTTON CREEK


BY

D L HAVLIN


I tend to read mostly mysteries, romantic mysteries, and close to the heart stories.  This book took place during the Civil War, and again, it is one that once started you don't want to put it down.


It begins in the present with descendants of a Civil War Confederate soldier, and a promise this soldier made to the minister of a small Church on Cotton Creek.  The promise was that he, if he survived the war, and his descendants would return to the Church and repaint the white cross every 5 years. 


It seems that throughout the years there have been many events happening to folks visiting the Church.  Events that cannot be explained, but many stories abound. 

As you read, the story goes back to the War, and the two wounded men who found shelter at the Church, were hidden and tended to whenever Northern troops were in the vicinity.

The preacher and his wife took care of painting the cross, and it was in need of being repainted.  He told his guests that it only  need repainted every 5 years.  He also mentioned that as he got older it was harder to repaint.  One of the men being protected painted the cross for the Preacher.  Thus the promise being made in the mid-1800's that is still being carried out today.

As the story unfolds, you learn so much about the behind-the-scenes events that unfolded, and also learn about the present day descendants and how they are true to their word.

I would recommend this book to any one of any age group.  It tells of courage, determination, and that a man's word is not to be broken.

I understand that author Havlin is writing a sequel to this book.  I hope to be one of the first to read the sequel.


This, and other Double Edge books, are available through their web-site, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other outlets.


Enough for now about book reviews.  Probably enough for today.  I hope all is well with everyone and God  Bless.
