Going the Extra Mile

The second book in the Idioms and Cliches series is ready for preorder and will publish on April 5th. Going the Extra Mile tells the story of Aaron Johnson, Jocelyn's grandson from A Bird in the Hand. On his return home to Western Virginia from taking his sister back to her husband in Trade, Tennessee, he's caught in a blizzard in the Appalachian Mountains, stumbles upon a remote cabin, and is rescued by the young lady inside. When her uncle turns up murdered, things get complicated.

James R. Cheatam, the narrator who produced Walnut Cake by Wylene, will begin the Audible version of the book in the next few days. Our goal is to have it ready at the same time the print and ebook versions release. James did such a great job with Walnut Cake by Wylene that I can't wait to see what he does with this book. He lives in Iowa now, but he grew up in Georgia. He is a retired military veteran who has been deployed in four wars and traveled around the world. This gives him a wealth of experience with different accents and voices. He started narrating full-time in 2018 and says he absolutely loves it. Listeners love him too.

Although Going the Extra Mile is part of a series, it certainly can be read as a standalone. This is true for all my books, but even more so for this series. The books are about different generations in the same family, but they often skip a generation, and the same characters rarely extend to the other books, although they may be mentioned in them. The five books in the series will stretch from colonial days with A Bird in the Hand all the way to the stock market crash in 1929 in the last book, Taking Stock. They will publish quickly with the last book coming out in August. This is the most exciting series I've done in a long time, and I can't wait to see them unfold.
