Nick Townsend is a high school principal battling alcohol addiction. After falling off the wagon, he awakens the next morning remembering a dream that included him flying over an elementary school shooting, in progress. The next day, the school shooting he saw in his dream is headline news. When it happens again, he is determined to prevent the tragedy and solicits his best friend to help him save more children from certain death.
But what is the cost of saving lives? Will he continue to risk his life when the woman he loves is carrying his child? Can he win the battle against the demon tequila that threatens to wreck his world? And, when he awakens one morning remembering another school shooting dream, can he stop the horrible event from happening at his school?
Early Readers Rock -or- My Mom Says I’m Not Good at Writing Sex Scenes #ASMSG #AMwriting

You’ll see writers talking about how much they value their “early” readers (aka beta readers) for their feedback on story ideas, pacing, plot points, characterization, etc. That holds doubly true for me as I struggle to put together a story that keeps the reader’s attention. My mother is one of my biggest supporters in all things writing, so she is always willing to read a rough draft and provide comments.

This is the first blog post that I’ve brought up the topic of a new release, so my fingers are trembling ever so slightly as I contemplate releasing the new novel out into the world. In anticipation of the new book, I’m in the process of building a mailing list to keep folks informed about the upcoming new work and other tidbits of wisdom (should I have any) that I can pass along.
Because of this, I’m having a Giveaway! To enter see below.
The new novel’s early title (subj. to change) is “When His Dreams Take Flight” and here’s the setup – 
Have you ever dreamed you were flying? If so, you probably know how spectacular it is. Nick Townsend had these types of dreams regularly and he USE to enjoy them.
In late 2012, he’s been suspended from his job as a high school principal.
His stress knocks him off the wagon and his alcohol addiction gets the better of him.
He wakes up the next morning remembering that his flying dream took him over the site of an elementary school shooting IN PROGRESS. When he watches the details of THAT school shooting play out on the news the very next day, he realizes he’s been given special insight. The next time he drinks, it happens again, and he heads off to Arkansas stop the shooters.
But can a thirty-something, small town NC high school principal stop these tragedies?
Should he risk his life when he’s about to marry the sexiest teacher in town who’s also having his baby?
Can he win his battle against tequila?
And what might happen if he drinks again only to wake up to the realization
that HIS school is the next to be attacked?
