REAWAKENING free in the Kindle Store July 23rd and 24th
About Reawakening:
Unlike many of their acquaintances they stayed in love and they stayed married for many years. Jim was now an old man, even by earth’s standards, when he suffered the fatal coronary. He left his young wife a childless widow. She mourned. She grieved. She never remarried. Jim was her only love. Linda grew old as her husband before her had grown old. She died a peaceful death.
And then it happened . . .
----------------------------------
Publisher's Review:
Every now and then a manuscript comes across my desk that completely captivates me. Austin has reached inside the human heart and removed all boundaries pertaining to everlasting love . . . and her ability to play with the English language successfully is astounding.
Austin’s Reawakening is a must-read. It will take you into a land not far from your heart and bring you back to earth again - believing that all things are possible with love and hope.

ELLEN and THE HUMMINGTREE is FREE in the Kindle Store July 9 and 10, 2022
In celebration of my birthday and of my 15th Creative Writing Anniversary, I am pleased to announce that ELLEN and THE HUMMMINGTREE is FREE in the Amazon Kindle Store on Saturday, July 9th and Sunday, July 10th.
ELLEN and THE HUMMINGTREE: Austin, Audrey, Krupp, Susan Ruby: 9781926614670: Books - Amazon.ca |
Ellen is a woman I came to know well during the writing of my third novel Ellen and The Hummingtree. She often puzzled me yet she also had the ability to make me laugh and cry. I grew to love her. And the more I came to know her I began to realize that she truly is a composite of the many caring spiritual women I have known throughout my life. Alzheimer is a dreadful disease and Ellen's victimization is a heartbreak. My writing of Ellen and The Hummingtree comes straight from the heart. I hope you will love her as I do.
POARTRY and PROSE
