Book Blast and Giveaway: My Husband About Killed Me by Linda Beason



This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Linda Beason will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.



"If you ever leave me, I will kill the kids then I will kill you." "I can't help but think of other women who may be facing similar situations, even now in a time and generation when these events can easily be exposed as much as they could be hidden. I wish I could reach each one of them, look into their eyes and tell them: you don't have to live like this. Life can be better; you can choose a different path. It's not easy, trust me, I know that more than most people do, BUT IT'S WORTH IT." This book is an autobiography about a woman raised on a large farm who learned to drive a large tractor at the age of seven, then spent many years plowing, planting and harvesting crops and taking care of the farm animals. After three years in the Marine Corps, she married her college sweetheart who became a drunk and abused her for seven horrible years before he almost killed her then disappeared. After she recovered she and her three kids fled to Florida to hide so he wouldn't find them and finish the job.


Read an Excerpt

A few weeks ago, after one of Phil’s drunken rages, I decided that the kids and I would start camping out in the cornfield surrounding the house to avoid getting in his way. The plan was simple: we’d head out about an hour before he typically staggered home and stay hidden and out of sight until we were sure he had returned and passed out in bed. After that, we would crawl back into the house, get tucked in, and wake up the following day when Phil would have recovered from his stupor, and we could go back to being a regular family until we had to do it all over again at night. This way, we could avoid the brunt of his tirades and tantrums, and, most importantly, I could retain some semblance of peace, normalcy, and quiet for myself and my kids.

So far, it had been working.

As far as the kids were concerned, any chance to camp out in the fields was a fun opportunity they couldn’t miss. They were now used to the earthy, starchy, grassy smell, the sound of crickets chirping, and the occasional rustle of small rabbits nearby scurrying through the underbrush. Bailey and Ryan usually wore themselves out singing nursery rhymes and playing with their toys under the tent. Then, using a dim flashlight, I read bedtime stories to them while cradling Brooke and rocking her to sleep. When they were all fast asleep, I would keep watch, waiting for Phil to arrive and timing our return to the house.

The plan was working, but tonight, Brooke’s feeble cries threatened to disrupt it. She had initially fallen asleep in my arms, but for some reason, her eyes opened back up moments later, and since then, she’d been crying and refused to go back to sleep. I tried to cradle her even more, hoping the cry would let up, but it only grew louder. I wasn’t worried about a neighbor hearing us and calling the cops to report a lost, crying baby in the fields; the house closest to our field was a good half-mile away. I was more worried about Bailey’s and Ryan’s sleep being interrupted and the possibility of Phil’s sudden return.

About the Author: Born and raised on an Indiana farm, Linda Beason was steeped in the rhythms of rural life and nurtured by the enduring love of a close-knit family.

From an early age, she embraced responsibility and excelled throughout her school years. As an alumna of Purdue University— where she earned degrees in both agriculture and accounting—Linda distinguished herself academically and professionally, later working for several corporate companies, most notably the Green Giant Company, and serving honorably in the Marine Corps.

Yet despite a childhood filled with warmth and promise, Linda's adult life took a harrowing turn when she entered a marriage that would test the very limits of her strength. For nearly a decade, she endured domestic abuse at the hands of a dangerous man whose fury was fueled by alcohol and an insatiable need for control. That turbulent period sent her racing through a whirlwind of experiences that would forever alter her path. Even in the darkest moments, however, Linda clung to her faith in God and the quiet confidence of a Midwesterner.

Linda passed away in 2024 while writing this book. Through these pages, she hoped to inspire women to overcome the challenges of toxic relationships and the hardships of motherhood, reminding them that even the deepest wounds can heal and that the promise of a brighter tomorrow is always within reach.

My Review:
I thought that The Quantum Revelations was a good debut for Stuart Heinrich. I do have to admit it is not my usual my to genre when I am searching for a book. However, after reading the blurb, I was intrigued and wanted to see what it was all about. It was nice to be taken away from this chaotic real world and take a new journey into a fantastical one. It did take me a little while to get into it and understand what was going on with the plot. About twenty five percent in, I was able to catch on and did not want to put it down. It was full of action, mystery, suspense, danger, and adventure. It was exciting in getting to know characters, Skylar and Zara. I admired their courage and bravery. Overall, I found that the book was a good read that was thought provoking at times, making me think of what could be in store for our future. 

I am going to give The Quantum Revelations three and a half stars. I believe that fans of Sci-fi, Mystery, Thriller, Scientific fiction will not to miss out on reading it. I do think it is worth reading. I am curious to see what other releases Stuart Heinrich has in the works for future publication.

My Review:
The Gentleman Thief Steals a Blanket is my first introduction to the talents of author Mark Nutter. I found his writing to different and unique. With the title and the cover, I honestly was not sure what was in store for me at first. I was quickly presented with quirkiness and laugh out loud humor. The plot was entertaining, witty, and exciting that included some mystery with a lot of hilarity. I never knew what antics and / or trouble Danny would get himself into from one scene to the next. I thought it was heartwarming tale that left me smiling all the way to the very end. It was a great way to give me a chance to get away from the seriousness of real life and the horrors I have been hearing about around the world recently. 

I am going to give The Gentleman Thief Steals a Blanket four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who love to read fiction with a humorous twist. I believe this one should not be missed and definitely world reading.  I would love to read more like this one from Mark Nutter in the future. I be on the look out for his previous releases, as well as, any coming out years to come.

About the Author

Sally Friscea writes with humor to give hope to the longing heart. As a former member of the US Army, she found herself on an ISIS kill list but is now trying to live a quieter life after marrying for the first time at the age of fifty.

She weaves hope and humor into nearly every story. She is a multi-genre and award-winning writer. She has completed two children’s picture books and an adult murder-suspense novel based around the Kennedy Space Center awaiting publication. She also enjoys shorter works of fiction and articles.

Currently, Sally is working on subsequent novels for the murder-suspense series, a speculative dystopian novel about the aftermath of a second civil war, and other projects that reflect her diverse background.

She’s the Social Director of the Florida Christian Writers Conference and the president of Word Weavers International’s Brevard Chapter. When she’s not bookkeeping, budget counseling, or writing, Sally enjoys spending time with family and friends, scrapbooking, and doing crafts, some of which she sells on Etsy.

More from Sally

I didn’t know it was hot flashes for the first five years. I thought the air-conditioning was broken everywhere I went, because it was. At my house in Florida, my bedroom at the end of the line sizzled. At the office, the unit that fed my room was down; I relied on the trickle of AC from the main room. And my car fritzed often enough, so I didn’t notice it was hot flashes until a friend’s husband mentioned her “crazy pills” at their house one night. She explained they were for hormones and how awful she’d been before taking them.

When she mentioned hot flashes, the light bulb went off. My mother never said anything about suffering from menopause, and the only person I’d ever known to talk about any of it used to break out an oriental fan when the flashes happened, but she was in her fifties, therefore, I didn’t connect the dots in my early forties. All the older ladies at scrapbooking said my sleep issues were menopause, but again, I was too young for that. Then I learned it’s happening about a decade earlier than in previous generations.

When I complained to a friend at the Florida Christian Writers Conference about my perimenopausal symptoms and my great ignorance, she told me I should write a book and put all my humor into it. I spent the next few months taking notes and decided that I indeed had enough material for a book. My dystopian book in progress got pushed aside, and I started down the rabbit hole of finding answers for myself and compiling a useful tool for others walking blindly on the path of menopause.

I found some existing books using humorous personal stories and others addressing symptoms by using medical speak, but nothing with both, so I married the two and tried to dumb it down in a way that even I would understand. I threw in the humor to make the reader know they are not alone. I addressed those pesky symptoms using pharmaceutical, holistic, and over-the-counter treatments where available to appease all the ladies.

As I wrote the book, I kept finding that how we live our forties determines our fifties, our fifties determine our sixties, and so on, subsequently addressing food and other obstacles to longevity. I wrote this book because most women don’t want to talk about this topic, and most doctors aren’t trained in the field of aging women.

I found that even women who don’t suffer greatly will still submit to the effects down the road with osteoporosis and heart disease, because of the diminishing hormones. I attempted to cast as wide a net as possible by writing it in a way to entertain as well as inform so the reader can advocate for herself with her doctors and learn how to avoid spiraling out of physical independence in the latter years. This book is the sugar coating on a hard topic not being talked about enough. I wrote it so you won’t have to talk about it outside your physician’s office.

My Review:
I found that Travis E Short's Killers Can't Hide to be a thrilling book. At first, I was not sure what to think of it. I had a hard time trying to keep up with the characters and figuring out who was who. Once I got through the first five chapters, I was hooked and felt as though I was on a crazy amusement park ride. It was full of drama, action, secrets, mystery, and suspense. I enjoyed going on this adventure with these characters and wanted to continue turning the pages until the very last page. Just when I knew what was going to happen next, it would take me to another turn. It was fun to keep guessing and figuring out what was to follow from chapter to chapter. Overall, I believe it was a wonderful and thrilling read and a great way to get away from the stresses of the real world. 

Killers Can't Hide will be getting four and a half stars from me. I believe thriller fiction fans will not want to miss it. It is definitely worth reading.

Book Blast and Giveaway: God's Coded Language Is All About Transparency by Janette C Andrejowich



This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Janette C. Andrejowich will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

For people seeking to understand the spiritual world and the deep things of God, decoding God's language, expressed in imagery, numbers, colours, parables, parallels, stories, and foreshadows, is the essential elusive key that lights up the path of understanding the spiritual view of God. Nothing is hidden. It is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him" (I Corinthians 2:9). But this scripture only applies to those who want to see a charcoal sketch of their calling. People who receive the free gift of God's Holy Spirit have embraced the unique Spirit, and the world in the scriptures comes alive in dazzling colour because the elusive key is found and applied.

The Apostle Paul added, "these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God" (I Corinthians 2:10).

Every aspect of God's creation on earth is a revelation of the great Creator God for those with the Spirit-opened eyes to see, ears to hear, and a willing heart of flesh. The amazing discovery of God's coded language is all about transparency, unveiling His plan for mankind and His holy, royal, ruling family in the making.


Read an Excerpt

THE GARDEN


“The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing” (Isaiah 51:3).

When Adam and Eve were created, they lived in the garden of Eden. “The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed” (Genesis 2:8).

God planted His garden in the same direction as His temple. This garden, where mankind was planted, is God’s penmanship at work, painting a picture of beauty and peace. It is an immediate visual for every man, woman, and child on earth of God’s language describing His God family in the making. They are a reflection of cultivated parks, reserved forests, and natural wonders that triggers an awe-inspiring gasp.

God’s is seeding and growing His family. They will become a holy, royal, ruling family both in heaven and on earth. Located in Eden, God reveals His family home. He is at work, molding many different people who, when He is finished, will exhibit exceptional qualities and skills. They will be people with great strength: resilient, compassionate, patient, creative, resourceful, law-keeping people. From out of darkness into glorious light, the members of God’s family from earth will all be transformed into eternal bodies.

Creation on earth was not the first. Spirit beings were created and given an abode in heaven. These beings were created with essential knowledge when they were created. They can distinguish right from wrong. Unfortunately, not all has gone well in heaven. Many have turned against their Creator, the Great God. His family in heaven has been darkened and His heavenly court corrupted. Mankind, God’s second creation, will fill all of the positions once held by the fallen angels and sons of God. God is going to rebuild His fallen holy, heavenly court with repentant, righteous people. Satan is working hard to keep these plans from mankind. King David caught a glimpse of something very big and asked God, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:4)

About the Author:
Jeremiah said, "If I say, 'I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,' His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail" (Jeremiah 20:9). I have this same experience, which has led me to create a resource centre (https://sharingsharpens.ca) to share all of my studies, and now my books. God's Coded Language Is All About Transparency is my first published book, which came together from many of my studies. It is like a collection, all fitting perfectly together. It is not my last book. Many are already written, soon to be placed on the shelf to accompany this one.

Book Description:

Everyone said the sky could never fall. They were wrong.

In the year 2076, anti-gravity has ushered in a new era of peace, prosperity, and worldwide collaboration. Powered by the scientific marvel known as Persistence, aerial vehicles now replace roads, energy comes from ambient particles, and the world’s nations are connected by open skies and their reverence for The Fabric — the timeless, interconnected thread of all particles, past and future, that not only powers anti-gravity but redefines humanity’s understanding of the presence of God.   

But on an ordinary October morning, the impossible happens: passenger aerials start dropping/falling from the sky.

For Jack Woods, a national security official and devoted father, this tragedy is more than a historic anomaly. His son Erik was airborne when the world stopped. As aerials freeze mid-air across the globe like ticking timebombs and chaos erupts below/the death toll rises by the millions, Jack races to uncover what went wrong… and who may be responsible.

Meanwhile, Brian Medlock, the scientist who discovered anti gravity, prepares to leave this world only to be pulled into a political and spiritual firestorm threatening to unravel everything he built.

Blending science, political intrigue, and the primal human emotions that keep us grounded/connect us, Taming the Perilous Skies is a haunting look at a future world/ riveting journey through a world reliant/dependent on technology, and the people who must fight to save it/will stop at nothing to save it when it begins to unravel/falls apart. And how easily it can all fall apart.

My Review:
I found that Taming the Perilous Skies is a pretty good debut for author, Phil Marhsall. His writing style is a bit different from what I am used to and did take me a few chapters in before I could get used to it. Once I caught on, I was intrigued with this futuristic story. It had a good mixture of mystery, suspense, action, and adventure. It was interesting to see how the author's imagination was able to bring about such a thrilling tale that made me feel as though I was on a ride of twists and turns. It was a joy meeting the characters were believable and taking this journey with them was entertaining. About quarter of the way through, I was hooked and did not want to put it down until I was completely finished. With the recent horrific events in the news, diving into this book was a great way to take time away from it all. 

I am going to give Taming the Perilous Skies four and a half stars. I believe fans and readers of science fiction, as well as, political thrillers will not want to miss out on it. I would be interested in getting my hands on any upcoming releases from Phil Marshall in the future.

I received a paperback copy of Phil Marshall's Taming the Perilous Skies from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
