“Mistaken Promises”

Anger and hatred finally explode at the end of “Old Promises”. Such an event ripples down afterwards and “Mistaken Promises” explores some of these ripples.

cover of "Old Promises" Hazel Whitmore #2 by Karen GoatKeeper

As Hazel’s grandfather points out in “Old Promises”, some people see what they want to see no matter what anyone else tells them or what evidence there is. This creates the trouble in both “Old Promises” and “Mistaken Promises”.

This third book in the Hazel Whitmore series is available in digital form for free through Smashwords using coupon code VR96P any time through April 2, 2024.

“Mistaken Promises” is written for upper middle grades. Hazel is again a target, but doesn’t know who or why.

You can find the book on Smashwords or use the eBook link on the “Mistaken Promises” book page.

Other works in progress are Chemistry Unit 2b and my Opal and Agate series now with the first book taking shape.

Goat Kids Have Arrived

Lately I need to be at least seven people to get everything done. The problem is finding the other six of me. I’m still looking.

Warm days allow the seedlings to bask in the sun. Goat kids enjoy basking too. Gravel is moving into the gardening containers, slowly. Next comes moving lots of dirt and compost. The leeks are impatient to get out of their cups. Rows of peas hope the weather won’t get too warm.

“Broken Promises” is always offered as a free download from Smashwords. Using coupon code VR96P will get you a free digital copy of the third in the trilogy, “Mistaken Promises”.

The cabbage seedlings are now big transplants in the garden. Onion sets are growing. So are the weeds in places I haven’t gotten mulched yet.

The Carduan Chronicles is on hiatus now. Life’s Rules is slowly moving toward its finish. I know part of the ending and must fight to keep from jumping to that without setting the stage beforehand. I plan to tackle Ship Nineteen in April so I better start writing faster.

My present books are “Tisha”, by Robert Specht and “The Cat Who Brought Down the House” by Lilian Jackson Braun. There are also more picture books, “Togo” and “The Mitten” this week.

You can keep up with my reading and reviews on Goodreads. As I finish each book, I take the time to write a review on Goodreads. Picture book reviews are on my Goodreads blog. It would be nice if those reading my books would do the same.

Finding My Picture Book Reviews

I really enjoy reading picture books. Often I just stop by and read one as I leave the library. If I tell Goodreads about a picture book, it adds it to my book challenge, messing that up and the average page count.

What I’m doing is putting the picture book reviews, usually two on Tuesday and two on Friday, on my Goodreads blog. You can find me on Goodreads under Karen GoatKeeper.

About GKP Books

I normally sell books through Amazon, Kindle and Smashwords as their sites are secure. Some books, and these are noted, are only available through me. Amazon and I have an ongoing dispute over listing “Asclepias” or any new books. Somehow I am not authorized to list anything new under my name? Some eBooks are too large or complicated for the other sites.

All of the links should be working. If you find one has decided to go on vacation, you can contact me through the now working Contact Page.

Thank you for Stopping By

Keep checking back as the topics on the two posts change every week, weather permitting. Impassable roads can delay things.

Who needs goat coats? Basking in the sun is wonderful.
