New Cover #4

 We are up to Book #4 in The Unforgettables, Georgy and Jack. The color theme is still bright on this new cover, so hopefully it will gain more attention on Amazon where only a postage stamp view of the cover is displayed. What do you think of this one? Do you understand the symbol?

New Cover

 Every now and then a book needs a boost.  In this case it's my series called The Unforgettables.  While getting great reviews, it does not grab enough attention and the only thing I could think of doing was to try a new cover.  So every day I will be announcing a new cover or two for all five books.  Here is the new cover for Ruby and Sal, Book One. If you've already read the book, you will understand the significance of the Ruby.  Let me know what you think.

Book Quotes

 Did you know that at the beginning of every one of my books there is a quote that I have carefully selected? If you are a Kindle reader, you may have missed this page because Kindle opens at Chapter One. I sometimes even include a picture on the title page that relates to my story. If you have a Kindle, the simple solution is to tap on the top, then "Go To", then tap "Cover." That way you'll get to read it all. I bring this up because I am planning on having either a Family Tree or a List of Characters (or both) in Yesterday's Moon, as the town is growing, it can be difficult to remember from book to book who is who.

I have listed the quotes below for each book. Which is your favorite and why?

Yesterday's Tears:

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love."

Washington Irving

Yesterday's Hopes:

“Time is too slow for those who wait,

too swift for those who fear,

too long for those who grieve,

too short for those who rejoice;

but for those who love,

time is eternity.”

– Henry Van Dyke. 1852-1933

Yesterday's Dreams:

“Into my heart an air that kills

From yon far country blows:

What are those blue remembered hills,

What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,

I see it shining plain,

The happy highways where I went

And cannot come again.

- Poem XL”

― A.E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad

Yesterday's Woes:

"A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind."

Lewis Mumford 1895-1990

Yesterday's Blood:

"Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires."Charles Caleb Colton

Yesterday's Moon:

"Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other."

Sojourner Truth

Cover Reveal

      I'm working diligently on Book 6 of A Slip in Time, but I'm still only half-way through. I hope to stay to my projected time of 'sometime' in November, but I'm in the process of moving and it may slow me down a bit. I can't wait to get in my new office for more inspiration! But for now it means lots of packing, and not as much time to write. So, just to peek your interest, I'm doing my cover reveal. It may change a bit before publication, but for the most part, this is it. What do you think?

While You Wait

   Yup, there's a nip in the air already.  A little early methinks! But time indoors means more time to read. Book 6 of A Slip in Time won't be ready for several months yet, so while you're waiting why don't you check out some of my other books.  You may have missed a few. 

   Here's the link to my author page where you will find only my books.  If you're trying  a new series, be sure to read them in order, or you'll miss out on all of the fun.

Yesterday's Blood Review

Yesterday's Blood has been receiving some very good reviews.  I am honored that so many of you, either on Amazon or Goodreads, find my books enjoyable. In case you missed it, I thought I would post  a review by Jena C, Henry.  Jena is an author of three fun novels, The Golden Age of Charli: Rsvp; The Golden Age of Charli: Bmi; and The Golden Age of Charli: Gps.  She writes about living in the Golden Years in a very relatable way that had me laughing all the way to the end. I highly recommend her books to boost your spirits and whisk all your troubles away.

Here's her review of my latest book.  Thank you, Jena, for your awesome insights.

Five Stars
I know readers can’t wait to read Yesterday’s Blood, the fifth book in the A Slip in Time series by Jane O’Brien. So, let’s get straight to my thoughts.

Yesterday’s Blood, in spite of the ominous title, is filled with charm and tranquility. Picture this. “Inside the house the sisters moved together in the kitchen just as they had many times over the years, in one century or the next.”
As you can tell, the 1881 life for the 2025 sisters Francine and Dora is now pleasant and normal.

Book 5 paints a lovely picture of the growing towns of Twin Lake and Holton in 1881. Life is no longer frontier living. The towns are bustling. Houses are being built and businesses are opening and thriving. Life is good for Francine and Dora. They each have a man who loves and adores them. They each have found a place in the community.

What about the newcomers? We become better acquainted with the new Doctor, and the other male visitor off the train. We spend more time with Ruth and her family, as well as her friend Mavis. Mavis endures some sadness and problems. But for the most part, contentment abounds. Babies are born, cakes are baked, herbs are collected, marriages are celebrated. The orphan train comes to town. All of these happenings are written in the author’s lovely way with words.

Now what you really want to know about is Daniel, right? Well, all I will tell you is that his story took a turn I wasn’t expecting. And by the end of the story, the blood in the title reveals itself, along with some worries about the future.

I highly recommend Book 5. If you haven’t read the series, you may want to read the earlier books, because this series has so much depth, you will want to take it all in. Thanks to the author for an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
