I'm Outing My Wife!

Thomas-book
My wife Mary Jane wrote a fantastic supernatural thriller last year, The Redemption of Thomas Has His Horse — but she's done next to nothing to publicize it.

To make matters worse, she wrote it under a pen-name to distinguish her fiction work from her published technical books. As a result, only our closest friends and family even KNOW about it.

Well, I'm here to tell you all to check out the story of Thomas — a half-Sioux, half-African-American man born on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1918, and what he has to do to atone for a terrible act.

The story spans 80 years of his life, takes him through the dust-bowl, the early-sixties, and all the way into the late 90's — when Thomas has to lay everything on the line for the sake of a 10-year old torture victim. There's angels and demons, good and evil, 20th-century history, lots of Native American lore, and just a great, great plot.

Read a FREE EXCERPT at the Has His Horse blog — or go to Amazon.com and take a "Look Inside the Book," or download the free Kindle sample. FYI:  The Kindle version provides the longest excerpt (from the Prologue to the middle of Chapter 3). Then BUY IT people. It's only $2.99 for the Kindle version and $9.95 for the paperback at Amazon.

5-horse

I almost gave MJ four horses for making me keep her authorship of a five horse book a secret for over a year. As a result, she had to dig her way out of a four horse hole with the following extra credit items:

  1. The art on the cover was done by the author
  2. The entire book and cover were layed out by the author
  3. The book was really edited by the author.

This book does not look, feel or read like a self-published book. Amazon agrees with me, evidently, as they give Thomas five stars. Several Amazon reviewers want to see the book as a movie, as do I.

Caution:

The plot of the book IS addictive...hard to put it down. PLUS, the writing is excellent, and you will learn a lot about the US, Indian reservations, the south (Texas in particular) over a good stretch of time (1918 to 1998).

Buy it, read it, tweet it, like it on Facebook.
