I'm Outing My Wife!
|
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.
Rating:
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:
- The art on the cover was done by the author
- The entire book and cover were layed out by the author
- 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.
