Today’s the Day!
It’s the release party for the Audible Audiobook of our latest book, One Night in Winterset: A Story of Redemption.
It’s available today at Amazon as an Audiobook for $3.95.
It’s a warm, moving tale you won’t be able to stop until the end.
How do I know?
I wrote and narrated the Audiobook and still teared up at the dramatic climax. As we say, “No tears in the writer. No tears in the reader.”
This story moved me, and it will move you, too.
You can listen to a preview audio sample here.
Listener Alert: This audiobook is not produced by AI or a voice actor. It’s in the voice I write and speak in.
You’ll be captured by the story about Luther Perkins, a teenager from the Louisiana Pineywoods, as narrated by another Pineywoods boy from Dry Creek, Louisiana.
One Night in Winterset is available on Amazon in three formats:
Excerpts from One Night in Winterset
The reporter switched on his handheld recorder. “Tell me your story.”
Luther Perkins slowly opened a drawer on the side table. He handed the reporter a wrinkled, faded photograph. “Son, it all happened because of this.”
The reporter said, “It looks like two couples from… maybe the early 1900s.”
“That sounds about right.”
The big man put his elbows on the table. “Son, there’s something about you that just doesn’t add up.”
He pulled his chair closer and looked deep into my eyes.
I squirmed in my seat and considered bolting for the door. He grabbed me firmly by the wrist. “Who are you, really? Something just don’t fit.”
I knew it was now or never. I stood and reached into my pocket for the old photo.
My hand was shaking as I handed it to him.
The woman stood. “How’d you get this?” She stepped toward me, shoving the photo in my face. “Better yet, who are you?”
The room fell silent—only the crackling fire. As the young folks say, it was just crickets.
“. . . .I was all of those things: down on my luck, the least of these, downtrodden.
Fortunately, I ended up at that front door at 601 E. Fillmore in a place called Winterset.
When I knocked, I had no idea two angels were waiting for me there.”
We’re also pleased that Uncle Sam: A Horse’s Tale is once again in print. It’s our illustrated children’s book that brings to life the origin of the Fort Polk wild horse herd.
This classic has been updated, repackaged, and is ready for new readers to fall in love with.
