FREE Reading September Sundays

HAPPY FREE READING SUNDAY!

 

As a Back-to-School promotion, September Sundays are free reading days.  To help promote the importance of reading, I have five free Ebooks to give away. So the first five people to email me can have whichever book they would like.  Email:  AuthorSRClaridge(at)Gmail(dot)com 

Here are the choices:

Tetterbaum's Truth
Angel finds herself hanging in a twisted balance of mafia deception and revenge and the only way out is to expose the truth.



Petals of Blood
She knew of his tainted past, but it was too late to turn back. She loved him.

House of Lies
Skylar Wilson fights to save her sister from a deadly cult that stretches far beyond its pseudo-evangelical veil, penetrating the upper echelon of the United States government and pushing a lethal international agenda.

No Easy Way
Racing to piece together a family secret before anyone else dies, private investigator, Stephen Braznovich, finds himself trapped between white lies and dark lusts in a twisted tale where all roads point to one simple truth...there is No Easy Way.



Traitors Among Us   A kidnapping and an FBI bust sends Angel racing down a path to save her loved ones and she comes face-to-face with the scariest truth yet. There are Traitors Among Us.



Russian Uprising
Walking a fine line between compassion and rage, Angel discovers that the only way to stop the Russian uprising is to turn against her own blood.

Death Trap   Tempers flare and bullets fly as the lines of family loyalty blur into a melting pot of Mafia destruction, where Angel must face the suffocating reality that her only hope of staying alive is in playing dead.

Loose Ends
Unraveling the truth means tying up loose ends...the only problem is that some loose ends aren’t fit to be tied.



 

Spouse in my House
A unique and poetic look at sex and marriage, a la the styling of Dr. Seuss. Spouse in my House is a tale of sexual enlightenment as one couple strives for marital bliss.

Crusty, Hard Nipples

When I was in elementary and even middle school things were not as hectic for parents as they are now; nor was it as expensive.  Our parents didn't have to spend a fortune nor devote two hours at Wal-Mart or Target, checking off a supply list. We had a lunch box, a backpack, a folder with pockets and some pencils, which we sharpened once we got to school.  Everything else was provided.

Now, the kids are required to have dry erase markers, colored pencils, Crayola brand washable markers, Sharpies, mechanical pencils with the replacement lead packets OR pre-sharpened #2 lead pencils (because Lord forbid we should sharpen them at school), a flash drive, personal pencil sharpener, a pencil bag or box, ruler, pens in blue, black and red, an eraser, thin-tipped multicolored highlighters, four hard-cover binders and four packages of 5-tab binder dividers, a three inch hard-cover binder, 1000 sheets of college-ruled paper, two reams of white copy paper, three boxes of Kleenex, three tubes of Chlorox wipes, a roll of paper towels, a locker mate organizer and their own Master lock.

Really?!

I have two children:  one in elementary and one in middle school.  Between the two, we spent over $400.00 just to get them ready for school.  Keep in mind, that does not include school clothing, tuition or lunches.

Unbelievable!

THEN, as an asterik on the bottom of the school supply list is a note that reads:  "Content area and/or electives teachers may require additional class-specific supplies."

What?!?

What else could you possibly need in order to teach my child? 

I don't mean to get off on a rant here, but all of these budget cuts on our school systems are milking parents dry.  Something's gotta give...and it doesn't need to be the parents! There comes a time when the milk dries up and eventually the schools are going to come looking for the suckling parental monetary tit and find nothing but hard, crusty nipples. ~
