Get 'Em While They're Hot!

Today I'm unabashedly promoting two books, both of which I had a part in.

The first is a Chicken Soup for the Soul book, Kindness Matters, in which I have a story on page 19 called, My Alpine Angel. My story relates back to living in El Cajon, CA and working in Alpine and the very unexpected act of kindness and decency I received from another driver one harrowing, rainy day. 

The book goes on sale March 22 at your local bookstore, or, I have some copies if you want one. The books from me, while the supply lasts, are $10 each and that includes the cost of shipping. I'll even autograph my story for you. Such a deal!

In our small read and critique group called NC Scribes, we have had a total of forty-eight stories published in CSS over the years. So much so, that the editor, Amy Newmark, calls us "The Chicken Coop."  I'm honored to be part of the chicken coop. This is my second story with CSS.

Okay, on to the second book. This one is called, Testing Michael, the seventh in my historical novels. I just finished it, self-published it, and it's for sale on Amazon under the name of Linda Loegel/Hemby (Type in Linda Hemby). My other books are under the name of Linda Loegel.

Michael Mueller is a thirteen-year-old boy who joins the Civil War as a messenger. He travels to places far outside his New Haven, CT home, makes friends, meets new people, and witnesses not only big city wonders but also the atrocities of war that give him nightmares. Will he get back to his family in one piece? Guess you'll have to order the book to find out.

I enjoyed writing this book more than any of the others and I trust my passion will shine through the pages. The battles, generals and events are true, so if you want to see the Civil War through a young boy's eyes, I urge you to read Testing Michael. You may learn history in a whole new, fascinating way.

Since all of my books are connected to each other in one way or another, this story has a double connection to Willard Manor. One connection is obvious, the other might take time to discern. 

I appreciate any and all reviews left on Amazon, but mainly, I just appreciate you being a friend or family member that I can share my stories with. Thank you for that.
