The mailing list for this book has been closed.

It’s time once again, to begin sending out episodes of my latest book.

Crossing the Owl’s Bridge is a mystery covering the fields of science, religion and politics. It will have you reaching for your Bible, the newspaper and doing research on the Internet, guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, shake your head in disgust and clench your fists in anger.

Here is how this works for those who are new to my email lists.
This is the only invitation you will receive to join my latest email list.

Tell your friends about this unique opportunity and encourage them to join the list.
Crossing the Owl’s Bridge is rated PG-13.

I will attempt to send one episode each week in email, just as I did with my last two novels. You will have the unique opportunity to read the first draft of Crossing the Owl’s Bridge as I write it. Make sure your sound card is operational because there may be embedded multi-media from time to time. Make a pot of coffee, turn the lights down and get ready to have your faith tested, your loyalties questioned and your ethics dissolved.

Crossing The Owl’s Bridge

Everyone has secrets. Some have bigger secrets than others, but everyone has something they don’t want others to know. Perhaps that something is important enough to die for, but what if that something is important enough to kill for? To learn the secrets of one man, another must cross the owl’s bridge, but will he be ready for what awaits him on the other side?

Thank you for submitting notice of your concern regarding the PayPal account in question. As is our policy, your request for funds has been assigned to our Dispute Resolution Center for review and consideration. Your patience in this matter is appreciated as this process can sometimes take 30 days to complete.

In the meantime, please note that records for the account in question clearly reveal that sufficient funds were indeed present and misappropriated by your own Dispute Resolution Center, thereby creating a negative balance. Consequently, your management is accused of causing this negative balance and may ultimately be held fully responsible for those funds and applicable penalties. Collection measures may be employed by our Dispute Resolution Center if you are unable or unwilling to substantiate just and legal cause for this and other financial improprieties of which you have been accused. To avoid collections, please submit a Cashier’s Check for the misappropriated amount to the postal address of record for the account in question, as our office no longer accepts payments through PayPal, for obvious reasons.

While your request for funds is under review by our Dispute Resolution Center, feel free to submit additional evidence that you believe may substantiate your claim, specifically documented reasons for funds mismanagement.

Thank you for your patience during this process.

Note: Please do not reply to this email account as it is not monitored for communications in these matters.

If you have already returned misappropriated funds to the account in question, restoring its rightful balance, please disregard this message.

Sincerely,
Eileen Dover and Mike Easter Hertz

I canceled the book I was writing because now wasn’t the time to write it.  It happens sometimes.

Yesterday, as I was on my way to work, I glanced across the horizon at the sunrise and a sentence came to me…so I wrote it down. By the time I got to work, I’d written four pages of my new book, the right one this time. This morning, I wrote more and after Christmas, I’ll open an email list for a pilot group of readers. They’ll receive at least one chapter/episode each week.

Like The Saga and The Journey, this one is written in episodes instead of chapters.

I think you’ll like it. I know I already do, and that’s important.

The new book is entitled, Beyond Words, of which, the subject matter is near and dear to my heart.

  

We had a very busy summer and now that it’s over, I’m settled in and will be writing my next book. Look for it to be released episode by episode just like we did for Flight in Winter, The Saga and The Journey. I’ll be opening the email list very soon so let me know if you would like to be one of the pilot readers.

I already have pages and pages of notes. I definitely think you’ll like this book!

  

CBS has canceled Jericho!

They failed miserably anyway. They stole a good story and screwed it up.

Read Flight in Winter.  You know you want to.
