The irregular therapy series: book one

availability: author's website, amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major outlets

 

(If anyone here is interested in reading my book and writing an honest review, let me know and I’ll gladly send you a complimentary copy)

 

Ron consolidated years of his life experience into one very candid exposé. irregular therapy is peppered with intimate details that will surprise, delight and perhaps shock a few. Leaving no stone unturned, he dives into harrowing experiences and relationships that lead him through a roller-coaster life brimming with obstacles to overcome. His journey to overcome these obstacles, while constantly analyzing his predicament and developing innovative mental techniques to deal with them, is nothing short of brilliant.

 

Much as Ron Wyn describes himself as a shy individual as he reminisces about his lives and loves, he is rather much like a walking nuclear reactor, forever ready to malfunction and explode with light, intelligence and, often, humor. There is so much energy and passion in everything he writes, in everything he's lived that you cannot help but be dragged along with the guy through his very bumpy ride of a life. Yeah, his writing's candid. Yeah, it's gritty. Sometimes it's even dark and scary. But such is life for those not afraid to live it fully - which certainly appears to be Mr. Wyn's case. There is no economy of pain, of living as intensely as he has to so he can get to where he wants to go: a much happier place than where he started. And if we're not too distracted by the scenery, we just might get there with him, making the trip and the reading extremely worthwhile.

Hi Bobbie,

 

My work is "Quest of the Evensongs" a Fantasy/Adventure. My darling daughter helped with a lot of the editing and re-reading with me...and did my cover art.  And she is 14, so I know I am doing good if a normal teenager likes it.

 

"Overnight Vila's simple life is shattered when she falls into a swirling pool and wakes to find herself alone with only her silent crystal. Vila soon realizes that she has stumbled upon something that has been mystifying her people for generations...and another crystal.

Coupled, the mystical crystals pull her into an exquisite vibration of colors, encircling her with swirls of luster and sound....pleading for her to help them, find the ones with knowledge!

Without much choice she is propelled into this perilous quest filled with magic, power and the unknown.

Shul, a renegade Scribe from the Palace of the Blue Robes fights to keep the little ones in his care hidden from the ones that would have them killed. Forced to return, they conceal themselves deep within the Palace. Questions haunt him; is he the cause of the deadness creeping across their world? What...or who...are the Evensongs that called to him? He took something years ago that he didn't have the right to, but now that he has it, what is he suppose to do with it?

Adventure, intrigue and tangled relationships run rapid in this fanciful tale of a magical world, the young people striving to stay alive and the Evensongs trying to be heard."

I'm working hard on getting the word out there, sales have been low, but steady. Really need more reviews and tags on amazon. Biggest problem I'm having now is getting the amazon site to update with my new description of the book. It just will not update it. If anyone knows how to fix it, let me know!  Thanks, C.R. Cummings

Synopsis:

 

Dragon’s Son (The Boy Scout)

 

Is an examination of the clash of teenage sexual morays between two very different cultures combined with all the physical and emotional pain of puberty. The story begins in 1956 in Santa Rosa, California and progresses through two parallel worlds full of dragons, winged elves, muses and other mysterious beings to end in Sacramento, California. 

 

 

Main Charters:

 

Jimmy:     Thirteen year old heterosexual boy and avid Boy Scout. He has been raised in the sexual desert of the nineteen-fifties. Jimmy has been deprived of any parental sexual guidance and has to rely mostly on fabricated and erroneous information discussed in whispers with other boys that have no more sexual knowledge the he has. The ‘text book’ of the day was contraband issues of Playboy Magazine. Jimmy is an alter boy in his Episcopal church and carries the taboos and burdens pilled on him by his priest.

 

Kirk:       Kirk has been Jimmy’s best friend since grammar school. They do everything together and share all of their teenage male secrets. Kirk is more sexually experimental than Jimmy and enjoys innuendo and touching and is far more comfortable with girls. He has a special relationship with animals. Jimmy thinks that he can talk to them.

 

If you sample my work please let me know if you like it or if you don't like it...Jim

 

Attie:       Given name Annatheia. Attie is a winged elf warrior. She is the leader of an all girl gorilla ware fare unit. Attie’s sexual education has been much more liberal than Jimmy’s and this causes a great deal of discomfort and discourse between them.

 

Roee:      Given name Roannee. Roannee is a winged elf and is Attie’s second in command and like Kirk is far more sexually informed and aggressive than Attie.  She is a consummate tease. Roee loves to ‘mess around’ and is quite good at it. She can turn the boys on at the drop of a hat.

Hi Jim,

It sounds like you're getting really close to publishing. Have you decided to self-publish an eBook version of Dragon's Son? Smashword has been quite popular with many of our clients thus far.

Hello everyone. :)

 

My first book, Hidden Threat, was released December 30th, 2010.

 

Cali Stanton has one goal in life, being a doctor. She does not intend to run the family business. But when her father gets injured and tells her that she’s the only one he trusts, Cali finds herself behind his desk at Stanton Enterprises.

Matthew Andersen and his brother Jason have spent the last two years managing security at Stanton Enterprises. But when someone threatens the company and its CEO, challenging Matthew’s abilities, what seems like an easy task, becomes a big problem.

Cali and Matthew must fight their growing attraction for each other to avoid a potentially damaging office romance. As the threats continue, they must work together to keep the company running and discover who is behind the threats.

But when things escalate to violence and Cali becomes the latest target, things get personal. Can Matthew find the Hidden Threat before it’s too late?

 

 

 

 

My second novel, Slave, is set to be released on July 28th, 2011. It is the first in my Finding Anna series.

 

Stephan has lived the lifestyle of a Dominant for five years. After several rebellious teenage years, it gave him the stability and control he had been seeking after his parent’s death.

As president of a not-for-profit foundation, he knows what his future holds and what he wants out of life. All that changes when a simple lunch with his college friend and Mentor, Darren, leads him to buying a slave.

Thrust into a situation he never thought he’d be in, Stephan can’t walk away. He is compelled to help this girl in the only way he knows how.

Brianna knows only one thing, she is a slave. She has nothing. She is nothing.

Can Stephan help Brianna realize that she is much more than just a Slave?

This series also has a blog, www.findingannaseries.blogspot.com.

Thank You for welcoming me Bobbie,

 

My new book, “Changing the Little Things” is a novel that the common person can relate to. This book has twelve characters with life experiences that aren’t great, but this book shows ways to make them better by changing the little things.

 

The story begins when John, an author, begins the process of researching his new book. He goes online to different blogs and reads posts from people complaining about their lives; things written by those who are unhappy, miserable and hopeless.

 

Convinced that he has the answer to their problems, the author contacts 11 of these bloggers to participate in a series of thrice-weekly meetings to talk about family, work, friend relationships and other things which they would like to have an effect on. The group arranges to meet in online chat rooms and discuss various topics with John as he offers advice and begins the process of compiling his new book.

 

If you haven't heard, Changing the Little Things has a message of change.  It helps the reader find the little things in life to change that may cause big changes in your life. I am looking for reviews of this soft cover book. I have E copy's availably for review also.

My horror novel, Forest of Shadows, is coming out in October as part of Samhain Publishing's new horror line, edited by the legendary Don D'Auria.

 

 

Here's a little bit about the book:

The dead still hate!

 
John Backman specializes in inexplicable phenomena. The weirder the better. So when he gets a letter from a terrified man describing an old log home with odd whisperings, shadows that come alive, and rooms that disappear, he can’t resist the call. But the violence only escalates as soon as John arrives in the remote Alaskan village of Shida. Something dreadful happened there. Something monstrous. The shadows are closing in…and they’re out for blood.

 

You can learn more about it at http://www.samhainpublishing.com/horror.htm or you can learn more about me at www.huntershea.com

 

I'm in the process of putting together my first ever virtual book tour and I'm happy to receive any advice. It's a whole new world. :)
