Superhero Grandmothers as a Source of Writing Inspiration

May 14, 2019

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face because I realized that the day held the potential of untapped resources for happiness. After I stumbled out of bed, I poured myself a cup of ambition, coffee, and made my way to the balcony and watched the waves splash onto the sugar white sand beach. Three pelicans flew over just as a dolphin jumped out the water. Yep, I am a person who loves the beach and I love to write at the beach.



I came up here for Mother's Day weekend with my mother to relax and spend time with her. We have done absolutely nothing but eat, sleep, read, and rest which was exactly what we came to do. I will always cherish this time with her.



Speaking of Mothers and grandmothers, the author who I am going to introduce you to has written an interesting book about a grandmother. It's not what you are thinking at all because according to Lewis, "This book is a tribute to all grandmothers." You'll see why. "Madam Rhino: Troubled Waters" by Chris Lewis is about a grandmother, but not just any grandmother. This grandmother is a superhero crime-fighting granny who has developed superpowers. This book has all the potential in the world for a very interesting read. You can find out more about Chris Lewis and her book in the following interview. The best part is that starting on May 19th - May 31, 2019, the book will be on sale for .99. You can't beat that price for a quick guilty read.

Something buried so deep Craig may never uncover the truth. One thing is certain, the village is harboring many secrets. Some sad, some sordid and some decades in the making. What are the residents of Mead hiding, and how is it possible for one small village to have so many secrets? Can Detective Craig Monroe determine who killed Doctor Jude Ryland and in doing so will he discover the Secrets of Mead? The story is reminiscent of the British tv drama. 'Midsomer Murders.' A very small village with lots of suspects.
