Excerpt Post - Steven Manchester - The Rockin' Chair

Today I welcome Steven Manchester, author of The Rockin' Chair, to the blog. Read on for more information on this new release, including an excerpt from the book.

Memories are the ultimate contradiction. They can warm us on our coldest days – or they can freeze a loved one out of our lives forever. The McCarthy family has a trove of warm memories. Of innocent first kisses. Of sumptuous family meals. Of wondrous lessons learned at the foot of a rocking chair. But they also have had their share of icy ones. Of words that can never be unsaid. Of choices that can never be unmade. Of actions that can never be undone.

Following the death of his beloved wife, John McCarthy – Grandpa John – calls his family back home. It is time for them to face the memories they have made, both warm and cold. Only then can they move beyond them and into the future.

A rich portrait of a family at a crossroad, THE ROCKIN' CHAIR is Steven Manchester’s most heartfelt and emotionally engaging novel to date. If family matters to you, it is a story you must read.

There and Back Again - A New House Saga

Dear All

I am now back to normal (85%) following my move to the new house. Internet is up and running again and I am slowly getting back into routine now most of the unpacking is done. I am also planning to get on with some reading again!

We are just waiting on delivery of some new furniture to finish the unpacking - including some custom built bookshelves to house my library. Once they are in and all the books are organised, I'll share a picture with you all - I think they're going to look great.

Once the new study desk arrives, I want to get writing again. In the meantime, I heard the wait might soon be over on the print release of Time Keepers, so I'll keep you posted on that once I hear more definite dates from the publisher.

Bye for now
