Nostalgic Gifts for the Holidays
Hello and happy holidays!
Do you enjoy reading? Do you like nostalgic fiction? Are you okay with mature content?* If so, I'd like to invite you to sample my two novels: Life Rocks On, a wild ride through the '60s, '70s and beyond; and The D.A.'s Forever, which answers the question "What happens when four greasers from the '50s reunite in the '80s?" Clicking on each title will take you to its official website, where you can read an excerpt for free (which can also be done on the books' product pages on Amazon). Both novels are in e-book** format, and both are very reasonably priced, making each a good contender as a gift for the book lover(s) in your life!
Another gift possibility? The great music from the 1950s, '60s and '70s! Hey, don't knock it if you didn't live through it; the artists from rock & roll's golden era were the pioneers of the genre, and many are still actively performing and recording today. And I've got an online store set up where you can browse through CD and MP3 selections by genre and, in many cases, listen to samples before you buy. Everything is organized by category and sub-category; I've done the work so you don't have to. Just click on the link to visit Laura's Little Shop of Oldies on my Oldies Connection site; or you can visit the store directly on Amazon by clicking here.
*Mature content advisory: Both novels (Life Rocks On and The D.A.'s Forever) contain adult language and explicit sexual situations. In addition, Life Rocks On contains references to incidents of abuse and violence which may be unsettling for certain individuals. Reader discretion is advised.
**Both novels are available exclusively on Kindle at the present time. However, a Kindle device is not needed to read Kindle books; they can be read via a free app for PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet, or directly in your browser. And Kindle books can also be purchased as gifts! By making them available as e-books, I am able to keep the prices low; each book costs about the same as a fancy coffee beverage, and less than the average fast-food meal ... and will last a lot longer! In fact, Life Rocks On is quite a hefty novel, the typed manuscript having topped out at 650 (!) pages ... so it's definitely a book for people who love to read!

Life Rocks On!
Hello dear friends,
Well, it's been nearly a year since I last posted on this blog, but there was a reason for it ... I was finishing up my newest novel, Life Rocks On! Said novel is now available exclusively on Kindle* (if you don't have a Kindle, don't let that stop you; read why below), and it's a hefty one ... the manuscript came out to a whopping 650 pages, so if I needed a note to excuse myself from blog-posting, that's probably the longest one in existence!
Anyway ... learn more about the book by visiting its official website, where you can "read all about it" and even read a few sample chapters for free without leaving the site. Since the book is so lengthy, the free sample is correspondingly lengthy!
Hope you enjoy my newest offering. If you do, please leave a review on Amazon.com!
Mature content advisory: Life Rocks On contains adult language and explicit sexual situations and is intended for mature audiences. It also contains references to incidents of abuse and violence which may be unsettling for certain individuals. Reader discretion is advised.
*A Kindle device is not needed to read Kindle books; they can be read on Amazon's Cloud Reader or via a free reading app for PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone.
