Brother Love cover Jinx on phone Jinx on rotary phone next to “Brother Love – a Crossroad” on my Kindle.

I was so impulsive in deciding to quickly “bookize” the serial that I didn’t plan ahead for a launch or promotions. So I begin by repeating my thanks to Sally G. Cronin for announcing Brother Love – a Crossroad at her blog earlier this week.

My weekend post included a give away of an e-book of the novella. I numbered your comments and used a random number generator to select the winner.

… And the winner is….. Dyanna Wyndesong!

Dyanna publishes Ravenhawks Magazine. Be sure to click over and say hello.

Meanwhile, I’ve just done a podcast. The amazing Annette Rochelle Aben hosted me for a fun chat. We discussed “Brother Love” and several other things. I even brought her into my writing process by playing my three things writing exercise…

Warning Sign by Dan Antion

Thanks for joining me for this walk to the crossroads.

This chapter comes with a couple of warnings.

Warning 1: It’s long. I can hear some of you groaning.

Warning 2: It’s the conclusion, the last chapter. Now I hear the rest of you.

I didn’t know until Monday that Chapter 10 was the penultimate chapter, or I would have… well, I would have warned you.

My heartfelt thanks to Dan Antion of No Facilities for letting me use his wonderful photos throughout this series. Dan went above and beyond the call as my collaborator for this story. He was always ready to get just the right image for each episode. He was proactive, doing all sorts of photo shoots at antique stores, with birds, and at crossroads. Plus, he patiently let me bounce ideas around, no matter…

Rug with Crow Dan Antion Dan Antion got a kick out of finding “Jinx” in this antique rug. It reminded me of the recent July Fourth holiday.

Welcome to the crossroads.

To my friends to the north, I hope you had a lovely Canada Day. To those in the USA, I hope you enjoyed the Fourth of July and celebrated our precious freedom.

I appreciate you coming back after my little break last weekend.

Thanks to Dan Antion of No Facilities for letting me use more of his great photos.

The things that drive today’s installment are: Magnolia Leaves from Priscilla Bettis, Earthly Bonds from G. P. Cox, and Spaghetti from Jan Twissel.

Welcome back to the crossroads.

This chapter has two things from Dan Antion, who shares his photographs to illustrate Brother Love. Read on to see how I used Bubblegum and Newspaper in this episode.

The third “thing” that is used to drive Chapter 8 is from Fraggle, aka C. J. Hyslop, who is a marvelous photographer. It’s easy to see what a terrific imagination she has at Fraggle’s Other Place. What was Fraggle’s thing? Camera, of course!

I have to give Dan credit for a line in this chapter. In our discussion about the two evangelists who inspired my Doug Armstrong character, Dan talked about something the preacher from his past said about not inviting people to dinner. Keep reading and you’ll see what I mean.

Chapter 7 — A Lament.
