Launch Day for Danny's Grace



It is an exciting day for me today. It is the day that part of my dream comes true. My first novel will be released to the public for purchase. So far, the process has been a gratifying one, not because it was easy, but, because it was a difficult one. There are no words to express the gratitude I feel towards Rocking Horse Publishing.

Robin Tidwell, founder of RHP, has been a wonderful source of help and encouragement. Had she not prodded me on for so many months when I first started re-writing the original draft, Danny’s Grace would never have been written. Simply put, Rocking Horse Publishing believes in its authors, and the feeling is mutual. Robin is an author as well. Her books include Reduced, Reused, and Recycled.


It was fortunate for me that several people were given the opportunity to read Danny’s Grace before publication. The first was Raymond Alexander Kukkee, the author of Morgidoo’s Christmas Carol. He gave a delightful overview of Danny’s Grace as well as a 5-star rating. I will carry those stars in my heart for a long time to come.


Katie Lea Yates was the next reviewer. She was also kind enough to give me an interview. Katie’s review of Danny’s Grace gave an excellent description of what the book is about. She describes it so well that I think she should have written the book description for the back of the book. The interview was fun to do with her, and it is an opportunity that I am very thankful for.


Becky Kreienkamp was the next reviewer. She is the editor for Rocking Horse Publishing and I thought that she might be inclined to give me lower ratings simply because she is the one who had to see all the mistakes that I made while writing the book. I was delightfully surprised to see that she did not hold my comma errors against me. She not only fixed the mistakes, but she gave Danny’s Grace the proverbial thumbs up.


Debbie Manber Kupfer gave me an interview that was both fun and interesting. She is the author of P.A.W.S. which is offered through Rocking Horse Publishing. Thank you, Debbie, for such a fun interview. I look forward to growing as an author with you and the rest of the Rocking Horse Publishing family.


Last, but definitely not least, I would like to thank Shannon Yarbrough for the amazing cover that he put together for the book. I was blown away when I saw it and he deserves super kudos for it.

Danny’s Grace is now available for Kindle at Amazon for purchase. For those who have not pre-ordered- autographed copies can still be purchased via the “Buy Now” button below. I hope you enjoy reading Danny’s Grace as much as I enjoyed writing it.
