Stephen King's Joyland Novel - Did I Love It or Hate it?

Hey folks, greetings from a COVID-19 free environment. That's how things stand now where I live but you never know how a disease like this can blindside you so beware. I hope you are safe wherever you are.

Considering that so many people are homebound, boredom will soon set in after several days. For me, I'm super busy 24/7 so I rarely get bored doing the same thing since I'm juggling dozens of projects at any given time. But lately, I've been reading more books I've had in my office. Stephen Kings, Joyland, wound up on my reading list and I'm loving that story, even more, the second time around. You gotta love how King weaves a tale and Joyland is hilarious.

Now, if you're wondering why I describe a horror novel as hilarious, then you're not a Stephen King fan. Humor is part of any Stephen King book or movie. And this one in particular, which takes place in an amusement park. It's a real humdinger. Check it out.

Next on my list is A Death for Beauty. Yes, that's my own debut novel that goes back to 2009 or so. And it so happens that occasionally I'll pick it up to update a passage (for Kindle) or whatever and I really get into the story all over again.

A Death For Beauty

If you like Stephen King, you'll enjoy ADFB, so give it a shot because I've discounted the price for this coming week. Hey, it's only a few bucks either way and well worth it. Check out a sample chapter and see what I mean.

And right, you'll notice how much bigger I made my cover than Joyland's. Well, King doesn't need free publicity as much as I do. But there you have it. Two awesome stories to help you get through your long days and nights at home.

Those of you who've lost your jobs have no fear, government checks will be in the mail soon enough so no worries, friends. Enjoy the time off and make the best of it by catching up with a few good movies or novels or whatever floats your boat.

These are precarious times indeed, my friends. Count your blessings and stay safe.
