#WeWriWa: Just Like Me . . . RISE BY MOONLIGHT #NewRelease

Everyone just wants to fit in, to find their tribe, their place to belong. But when raised in hiding under the shadow of an unknown threat, a boy’s best and only friend is his mother. Even when she’s keeping secrets. 

“Mama, what’s wrong with me?” that small voice sobbed. 

The rocker continued to complain as she stroked the child’s black hair. Her tender gesture failed to calm either boy or the man he’d become. 

“Nothing’s wrong with you, Max. You’re perfect. They just don’t understand, so they fear you. That’s why you must be careful to never let them see the truth.” 

“What truth?” he’d pleaded. “Mama, tell me!” 

Low and soft, Max repeated from where he watched, decades away, “Mama, tell me.”

(and the rest of the scene . . .) 

She brushed a kiss across the top of the child’s flushed brow then slowly straightened, turning toward Max Savoie, a surreal voyeur from the future she’d never see. Her gaze swam with tears like liquid silver before flaring bright, then hot. 

Then red. 

“Max,” she crooned, “you’re just like me.”

Max Savoie may not grow up to be Norman Bates, but he knows he’s not quite normal. Saved from the swamps by a mobster after his mother’s death, he’s reared to silently serve . . . with deadly force, until the most unlikely influence steps into his life on high heels, with a gun and badge, introducing him not only to love but to a place where he belongs . . . with those like him. It’s taken over 14 books, but the Shifter King of New Orleans has finally come into his own.

I’m a very tidy guest and pick up after myself . . . and happily reciprocate when I can.

Spirits mightily lifted after a Zoom meeting with my critique group, I’ve given them (and now, you!) my goal for the end of this month – to pick (or at least narrow down) my next project. Deep inhale. It’s like standing in front of the jewelry counter with all that Oh, Shiny dazzling the brain. But a choice must be made. Help hold me to it!

Off to enjoy in this string of surprising lovely days . . . right after I check in to see what you’re doing!
