Carol Cadoo Featured Author of the week July 13th, 2014

Hi Everybody Welcome To My Author Page
I am so glad you are here a little information to stay informed if you will. Click that button to your right and you can get on the Amazon email list for my new releases. Drop by the Carol Cadoo Bookstore giving it “Facetime” where I hang out daily. Answering questions and talking to my favorite people in the world Carol’s readers LOL. I hope you enjoy your visit feel free to cruise around the site and get to know me and my peeps LOL. I love writing Chick Lit/ Romance. I recently re-edited and reapplied the lipstick of my Chic Lit Serial, Deja Vu of Love. The series starts off with Deja Vu of Love The Beginning which of course is the first book of the story in the Deja Vu Series. As a writer I am partial to using a third person multiple POV style of writing. Although not well known it is frequently used in Romance and other genre’s where multiple point of views add to the depth and value of the story line,and character interactions.
I also prefer moving the story along through the use of dialogue versus narrative. I think it’s because I enjoy giving a distinct voice to all my characters. As a writer I believe that dialogue helps define the characters as people. I write about real women with flaws who are strong and confident and ready to live life. I really enjoy watching my characters grow and change as the story of their lives unfolds. I try not to be to much of a control freak and let the characters write the story, after all it is there life.
So if you are a reader who likes to hear the voice of your characters and share their POV I am your next favorite writer LOL
Just a little something about me I am a retired Actress, Director,Choreographer, who discovered her real passion in life, was writing.
I have two sons Zachary and Garette my oldest son Zach just made a gift of a daughter of love Keri and her beloved girl Starla into my life. I also have two doggie kids Hazel and Harry. My free time is spent in the garden enjoying nature, decorating, and writing. I would love to have feedback from readers I think we are always curious about what people think of our work.
So, here is my suggestion go get a great glass of red wine, start the bubble bath grab a couple of chocolate covered caramels with sea salt. Then enjoy a little you time with a good book. I hope you love and enjoy reading the characters with minimally twice the enjoyment I had writing them to life.
Please pass the link to my book page to your address and Facebook people;if you believe I am worthy of a personal recommendation.
May you enjoy all the bad boys of romance with none of the pain.

The Voices in My Head

By Jerry Don Nicholes Sr.

Sean Bowers is haunted by the voices in his head. He struggles to keep a grip on reality, but the voices threaten his sanity. They also challenge the law, pressuring Sean to do terrible, evil things he can’t even consider. The voices continue, and he eventually loses the fight against them, giving in to their demands.

As he is propelled into a world of murder and crime, his actions feel beyond his control—and yet, at the same time, he feels justified. The horrible occurrences that surround Sean soon cast a shadow on his small neighborhood. The townspeople want justice. Even his family finds it impossible to be on his side, turning against Sean with disastrous consequences.

As the voices continue, secrets come to light that make it clear Sean’s troubles are not merely madness, but something much darker. With this new knowledge and the help of his remaining loved ones, will Sean return to a semblance of sanity—or will he allow the voices inside to permanently alter his fate?

Michael Meyer is an award-winning author of mysteries, thrillers, humorous fiction, and non-fiction: Love and romance, laughter and tears, thrills and fears.

His INTERNATIONAL SUSPENSE COLLECTION currently has two books: COVERT DREAMS, Book One; and DEADLY EYES, Book Two.

His CONTEMPORARY/HUMOROUS FICTION COLLECTION currently has two books: THE FAMOUS UNION, Book One; and THE SURVIVAL OF MARVIN BAINES, Book Two.

THE THREE KITTIES THAT SAVED MY LIFE was his heartfelt attempt to make things right again in his life after his first wife died, and putting this true story of love down on paper worked. It was something that he knew he had to do. One reviewer says of this book, “This is like drinking tea and honey on a cold day.”

He has resided in and has visited many places in the world, all of which have contributed in some way to his own published writing. He has literally traveled throughout the world, on numerous occasions. He has lived in Finland, Germany, Thailand, Saudi Arabia (where COVERT DREAMS – INTERNATIONAL SUSPENSE COLLECTION BOOK ONE – is set), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (where DEADLY EYES – INTERNATIONAL SUSPENSE COLLECTION BOOK TWO – is set). He gained the wanderlust to see the world, to experience other cultures, at an early age, and this desire has never left him. If anything, it has only gained in intensity as he has aged.

Among the many unique things that have happened to him in his world travels, he has walked the streets of Istanbul with a detective, searching for a pickpocket who got him good. He has ridden on the back of a motorcycle in Tehran while the driver, who spoke not one word of English, pointed out all the sights to him. He has wrestled an Iranian soldier who tried to break into his hotel room in Tehran. He has had the paint completely stripped from his car as he drove across Saudi Arabia in a sandstorm. He has stood on the stage of a busy nightclub in Tokyo, singing “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain When She Comes” to an audience feeling no pain from the Sake they were drinking. He has been chased by a family of mongooses (yes, that is the correct spelling) on the idyllic Caribbean island of St. Croix. And that is just the beginning of his long list of worldly adventures.

As a recent retiree from a forty-year career as a professor of writing, he now lives in Southern California wine country with his wife, Kitty, and their two adorable rescue cats.

SPECIAL NOTE: COVERT DREAMS has recently received a Compulsion Reads endorsement. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Compulsion Reads, this company specializes in reviewing and endorsing those novels that meet its quality standards based on the fundamental qualities of good storytelling. Many books that the company reviews don’t earn their endorsement, so this is a pretty big deal.
