| Slight Detour by Bill Holmes Dark comedy/adventure. A man and woman — both victims of circumstance, but from two very different worlds — collide in a globe-trotting struggle to find some semblance of sanity. A beautiful young “black ops” agent on her first assignment tries to turn an “average Joe” into her own counter-terrorism asset, just to prove she can. When he loses his job, then his girlfriend thanks to her, she thinks he’s putty in her hands. When he’s told he has cancer and decides to go out with a bang, she’s afraid she’s overplayed her hand. She commits the cardinal sin of actually starting to like this guy, and now questions her own motives. If her handlers become aware of this, both she and her “asset” are dead. eBook: $2.75.

| Lottery President by Bill Holmes For most people, winning $296 million in the lottery would be enough. They would buy a big house, travel the world and retire. Not Benny. The house he had in mind was the White House. He didn’t want to travel the world so much as save it … from politicians. Retire? “I’ll retire when I’m dead!” he would say. He didn’t realize so many people had a retirement plan in mind that would make him very dead. Welcome to the world of politics, Benny.

| Temporary Insanity Before ever winning the lottery and running for president, Benny was living in L.A. making a living as a temp word processor.

Exciting new author gets published! |
Trying to get back into writing fiction for the millionth time. With all the distractions of home and work life, it’s too easy to get OUT of the habit, especially now that we have Elizabeth. I wonder how working writers, especially those with kids, get any sleep. I guess they don’t have a “day job.” Writing IS their job. Must be nice. I’m trying to come up with a new society. Lofty goal, but somebody’s got to do it. We need to keep the rats from running the rat race. We need to get rid of the “rat race” entirely. I hate the disparities in people’s “class.” Everyone should be in the same class, though you will always have some people more talented than others. We’re brainwashed into NEEDING this stupidity we currently call society. Well, I TRIED to wake up early and get some writing done. I was able to get in almost 15 minutes (woo-hoo!) before Elizabeth woke up, crying. I wasn’t sure if Tara heard her, and I was closest, anyway. So, I went to her room and consoled her. Luckily, after going potty and getting some water, she wanted to watch a video, Bear whatever. And that’s where she is now. Back to the subject of writing, I swear sometimes the universe HATES it when I try and write. Something or someone ALWAYS interrupts me. —
