First and foremost, Happy Memorial Day, whether you’re carefully getting out, or carefully staying home.
To me, it’s an especially important day. I don’t have the words to say how much admiration and respect I have for our troops. They give their signatures to a promise to lay their lives on the line, and so many are asked for that ultimate sacrifice.
So, first—Memorial Day. Thank you, thank you, thousands of times, over and over, for serving our country. I like to think of my dad, Chief Petty Officer, US Navy, for serving—and coming home. Of course, I wouldn’t be here if he

hadn’t served and come home, but I loved to listen to him, though he seldom spoke about the war. But I know that while it taught him about death and brutality, it also taught him to believe in others, to care for those who were down, and never leave a man behind—in war, and in life.

I also want to thank International Thriller Writers for the amazing opportunity we had with the USO, heading off to visit out troops on the front line and, hopefully, helping along a few who wanted to write.

On to May 19
th
pub, Seeing Darkness. I love exploring different ideas, different beliefs, and possibilities. Seeing Darkness takes the Krewe back to Massachusetts, Salem, to be precise, where a bridal party past-life regression becomes something far more horrible when, instead of getting to become a rich princess in a past life, Kylie Connelly sees herself as the victim in a contemporary murder.
Enter Krewe Special Agent Jon Dickson, in Salem on the trail of a serial killer. But, though it appears the same killer may have been at work, Kylie has seen something different and frightening, and they will work together to get to the truth, before Kylie becomes a victim, just as she saw in her vision.

For Honor and Glory is a new Krewe story about 8000 words, featuring Jackson and Angela. So . . . if you’d like to read it as a PDF for the holiday, because we never know quite when it will be on Amazon, contact connie@perryco.biz and she will email you back with the PDF file.
Amazon will have it for free with Kindle Direct or a 99 cent download, again we hope it will be up sometime next week. They read just as easily with the pdf I believe, and I hope you’ll enjoy it—my little side-stories are usually a slightly different experience with the Krewe. I try to make these free as a thank you, so if you would like please ask for the PDF.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I hope you’ll enjoy Seeing Darkness if it sounds like a good read to you, and if you’d like a quick (8,000 word) story, please contact Connie's email for a PDF.
Wherever you may be, whatever you may be doing, stay safe. And may we all offer up honor and glory to those brave men and women who are in the services now, and those who served so valiantly in years gone by.
