I hope you enjoy listening to this excerpt (with accompanying slideshow of visuals) from my novel MATTERS OF CONVENIENCE. Perhaps I'll keep recording and create a full audio book. Then again that's probably best left in the hands of those with greater expertise, though I don't think I sound half bad if I do say so myself. I may have even managed to outdo my effort from the last go around. If you want more of the story, a printed or electronic copy of my book will need to be obtained and read. For now, just hit play and kindly grant me about six and a half minutes of your attention.

CHAPTER ONE - read by the author

A reading from Patches of Grey
How do I stand up against the other Author Excerpt entrants at Buzz Bookstore's contest?
My entry is lucky # 22. Happy reading/listening.
Don't be shy. Let me know what you thought. Maybe, just maybe, you will propel my excerpt to victory.
Perhaps one day I'll get around to recording a reading of the entire novel, at which point I'll be able to offer Patches of Grey as an audio book. Until then, the print edition and Kindle edition will have to do. You can enter the contest at Goodreads before May 20th for a chance to win a copy of the former. As for the latter, it will be available for free at Amazon 5/21 - 5/23.
Your votes for Patches of Grey in the #BlerdBookClub poll would also be greatly appreciated.

A reading from MATTERS OF CONVENIENCE - Audio Excerpt
I hope this blog post finds you well, and with five minutes to spare. Eventually I wish to be standing before you in a bookstore or some other literary setting, reading from the words I set down on paper for my second novel. For now, simply hit the play button found below in the privacy of wherever you are (after putting on a pair of headphones if you wish, and perhaps pouring yourself a cup of coffee or glass of wine, depending on time of day) and kindly listen to my recording of an excerpt from MATTERS OF CONVENIENCE. I doubt it sounds effortless because it certainly wasn't. But I got through it relatively unscathed. Enjoy!
As soon as the publication date for Matters of Convenience arrives, I'll be sure to shout it out to the world. If you are a book blogger who would like to receive an advance copy for review, leave a comment below with your site address and I'll get back to you when the time comes. Until that day arrives, if you haven't already read my debut novel Patches of Grey perhaps you would care to check it out. Just head on over to Amazon. This sentence is a shortcut link that will take you there.
If FREE is the price tag most in line with your book obtaining budget, enter the contest at Goodreads for the chance to win an autographed copy of Patches of Grey. Access to the entry form can be found below. For those of you who don't win a copy of the print edition, and who like to read in electronic format, the Kindle edition will be free to all (not just kindleunlimited members) for three days: May 21st - May 23rd. Be sure to mark your calendars, not only for my book giveaways, but also of course because this month gives us Mother's Day. If your mom is anything like mine - she loves her children and grandchildren, she loves flowers, she loves chocolate, and she loves books.
