If you read yesterday's blog (You didn't? Stop now, go read it and come back. We'll wait. Really.... OK, now that you'r up to speed...), then you know that Max Thompson's human companion,K.A. Thompson
, also has a few books out, all currently priced at $1.19, each. The Charybdis Novels series, includes Charybdis, As Simple As That and critically acclaimed Finding Father Rabbit.Charybdis
His life littered with the women he's used--including a dead hooker he'd planned on marrying--Chip Davis is ready to move on. A blue eyed teenage wonder has found her way into his life, and he intends to run with her at full speed towards happiness. He knows she's the one, and nothing is going to keep him from holding onto her; not a dead friend, a missing brother, a kidnapped son, or a father whose sudden choice to explore the darker side of his employment will turn him away. Nothing except for his own demons, and, perhaps, the truth.
As Simple As That
They were supposed to ride off into the sunset and live out the cliche of happily ever after. They were supposed to have two-point-five kids, buy a minivan, carve out a slice of suburbia, and stay healthy and young and beautiful forever. They weren't supposed to make mistakes, have tempers or fights or bad days. They weren't supposed to split up. But with 18 years of marriage, 4 kids, a cat, and The Issue between them, Chip and Terry Davis aren't quite sure what to do when the distance between them seems to far to cross--or what to do when a simple case of the flu crosses it for them.
Finding Father Rabbit
After three years in the seminary, Kevin Davis comes home for his brother's birthday, and refuses to tell anyone why he's not going back. No one can pry the reason from him, not his parents, his brothers, or even his twin sister. But when childhood love Lydia Freeman bounces back into his life and yanks him out of his pool of despair, he considers telling her the truth, even though once she knows, there's no going back. He struggles with the truth, a pen pal who wants to be so much more, and an unfortunate streak with fire. Finding Father Rabbit follows the Davis family through two years, from Kevin's return home to the explosion of his secret revealed.
It's Not About The Cookies
is a stand-alone novel.There's a long dead brother Sam can see and with whom she shares long conversation. A mother she blames for just about everything. Two sisters who carry their own assortment of baggage. A friend who survived junior high with Sam and who understands why Sam hasn't been home in fifteen years, and a husband who thinks she should go.
Samantha Stark has a ready made list of excuses to not go back, but even though they top the list, she knows...it's not about the cookies.
By the way, Max is apparently a little upset that I didn't mention his blog in yesterday's post (good thing he doesn't live here, my shoes are safe). Be sure to check it out for regular updates (at least, when he manages to sneak onto the internet without his human's supervision). Rumor has it that he has another book in the works, as well.
