FREE AND A GREAT READ
I recently read this fascinating new book and couldn’t wait to tell you all about it. Guess what? I just found it’s FREE right now for a LIMITED TIME, on Amazon. Click the image to get it.
This fascinating story set in a political environment gave me goose bumps, chills and kept me turning pages. The protagonist uses Tarot reading to teach men she encounters during a harrowing series of event, about relationships. The question asked throughout is “who is the Magician?” Do you know?

No One ever said it better! My Take On Writing
COFFEE MUSINGS BY AUTHOR LORENA PETER
I the serial collection needed milk and gave it some. am a writer. I have been since I could hold a pencil. I don’t just like calling myself that~~ a writer. I actually love the process of sitting at a computer, hands on keyboard. Or sitting at the table, pen and notebook in front of me with pages just waiting to covered with the fruits of my imagination. In fact, I would write on the backs of grocery receipts if that were the only paper left in the world. I love the feeling of the story as it unfolds in my brain and then on the computer screen. For hours, I can lose myself in that fantasy –seeing the twists and turns weaving themselves together to protect my heroine or to catch the bad guy. In that world, I am the Empress of the Universe.
Lots of people are similarly afflicted. As my writing partner and I finished a script, we looked at each other and said at the same time in mournful tones, “I want to move to that town.” At that time we were referring to a small town we named Tibet, but at other times the comment has referred to so many other places! They were places perfect because of that special group of residents who offered welcome and challenge and hope, and sometimes enlightenment.
Join us! Lose yourself in a book today!!

COFFEE THOUGHTS BY AUTHOR LORENA PETER
I make a point not to post on politics, but my friend provided a rare perspective that I found hilarious and couldn’t help but share. Enjoy the read:
COFFEE THOUGHTS BY AUTHOR LORENA PETER
Politics From A Mystery Author’s Perspective: Although we are discouraged from discussing politics in polite company, I still think of things to say. In fact, I frequently wonder what genre book I would write if I were to write a true crime fiction book about this election. Would I write fantasy, comedy, steamy love story, alternative history, spy story, or apocalyptic horror?
Depending upon your leaning, any of these (and others) would fit. After all, we writers create our own spins on the basic elements of the story. Truth rarely entertains enough to grab the readers’ attention. I often wonder if that is true in the arena of politics, too!
When I worked in political campaigns, I met real people who could fit into any of these genres. They are an interesting lot, both the candidates themselves and the hangers-on!
My funniest encounter was in the ladies’ room where two sweet young things were discussing their lovers. “I think about polishing my nails while he’s doing it. What else do I have to think about?” Her friend shrugged knowingly. They added more color to their lips and left.
I later saw them with their older, married lovers who were fawning over them like ardent schoolboys. The scene made me smile as I joined my handsome beau! His wife asked me what was so funny. I showed her my perfectly manicured nails. “Just a story about doing nails.” She looked confused. I shake my head in wonder at the foibles of humans!!
