She spent a number of years in the Midwest chasing down good Southern BBQ. By the time she moved to North Carolina where Southern BBQ is practically a staple, she’d become a vegetarian.
Pineapple is a must-have on pizza, along with black olives and onions.
She loves pumpkin waffles. Pumpkin cream cheese, not so much.

Sounds in the Silence Blog Tour Day 3! #NewRelease @HowellWave #writingcommunity #mystery #ghost #historicalfiction
Hi!
Today is day three of the Sounds in the Silence Blog tour and I’m thrilled to be visiting with John W. Howell. See the note at the end of my blog post here for some exciting news! BLOG TOUR LINK
But, before you go if you haven’t read anything by John W. Howell I encourage you to check out his amazing catalog. His books are not only thrillers but some take us on a journey in the afterlife and history. I have read them all and can attest to how good they are. I will include here his author information on Amazon and also a link to browse his books. AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE LINK
John began his writing as a full-time occupation after an extensive business career. His specialty is thriller fiction novels, but John also writes poetry and short stories. His first book, My GRL, introduces the exciting adventures of the book’s central character, John J. Cannon. The second Cannon novel, His Revenge, continues the tension. The final book in the trilogy, Our Justice, launched in September 2016, concludes the thriller series. John’s fourth book, Circumstances of Childhood, launched in October of 2017, tells a different thriller story of riches to rags, football, Wall Street, brotherly love, redemption, and inspiration with a touch of paranormal to keep you riveted. The fifth book is a collaboration with the award-winning author Gwen Plano titled The Contract. Heavenly bodies become concerned about the stability of the Earth and send two of their own to risk eternal salvation in order to save the planet. The Contract achieved number-one status in its genre. John’s next book is titled Eternal Road – The Final Stop, which launched in September 2020. In search of their eternal home, Sam and James discover a threat to human existence. They also encounter the prince of darkness. The question is, can they save humankind and their eternal souls? John’s latest book is The Last Drive, a sequel to The Eternal Road. Once again, James and Sam must confront Lucifer in order to save not only their souls but those of two others. Lucifer tests them to the limit, and the challenge they face may be more than they can handle. All books are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.
John lives in Lakeway, Texas with his wife and their spoiled rescue pets.

Hi!
Today is the second day in the Sounds in the Silence Blog Tour. I’m very happy to be visiting with Colleen Chesebro. I’d love for you to stop by and say hello as each day is different. See note at the end of this post for some exciting news! BLOG TOUR LINK
But before you go, if you haven’t read any of Colleen’s beautiful and thought-provoking poetry collections, I highly recommend them. Plus, don’t miss her Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenges, too. Here is her author bio from Amazon along with a link to check out her available work you don’t want to miss. AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE LINK
Colleen M. Chesebro grew up in a large city in the Midwest. Keen on making her own way in the world, she joined the United States Air Force after graduation to tour the world and find herself. To this day, that search continues.
An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to poetry books, Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on her blog on by organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called #TankaTuesday, where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan, surrounded by the Great Lakes with her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.

From Finn’s Forest #17 @HowellWave @Sandra_Cox @mhurdle112 @edenbaylee #writingcommunity #poetry #challenges #dualtimeline #paranormal #historicalfiction
Hi!
Today, I wanted to share the back story to Sounds in the Silence. I wrote it during the NanoWriMo challenge a couple years back, but it really came from a poem I did for Suzanne Burke’s ‘Fiction In A Flash Challenge’ Week #21 NEW Image Prompt (October, 2020.)
There was a picture of an old house and I came up with the below poem. It was suggested by John W. Howell, along with Sandra Cox, Eden Baylee, and Miriam Hurdle in my comments that I make it into a story. So I did 🙂 Here’s the poem:
THE TRUTH
Wood slats replace the glass in my childhood home. Rocks and years stripped away its beauty. Long ago, this empty house was full of life. People traveled great distances to attend lavish parties. Our family was admired and respected, until I disappeared. They hung my beloved husband for a crime he didn’t commit. Only I knew the truth. No one heard my ghostly protests. Someday we’ll be reunited, but only after people finally learn what really happened.
the house isn’t haunted
I only want to be found
murderer with me
This is also found in my latest poetry book: Deep in the Forest Where the Poetry Blooms if it seems familar to you.
Embrace your inner child by reading—or writing a book! D. L. Finn
