My New Book

Posted in Novel | Tagged , , , , , | Leave a comment

OUT NOW

For those of you who have seen and read my short stories I posted on this blog in the past, as you know, I deleted them off of here so I could put them all together into a collection and publish them. Well…..I published my collection of short stories. They came available on Amazon today February 9, 2024. The link is below.

However, I slightly changed some of the stories that had been on this blog. Plus, I added new short stories never published on this sight. I hope you check them out. Have fun reading.

This collection of short stories holds a mixture of fantasy, mystery, and intrigue, so dive into some mind-gripping strangeness that will leave you scratching your head and wondering. Find out what happens when you are never happy with what you have in The Moving Room. Be careful, you just might find out you’re someone else in Time’s Illusion. Have you ever seen eyes in a pool, and they’re following you? You will in Lights of Fantasy. Sometimes treasures are meant to stay hidden in Time’s Wind. Jump into these and other fantastical stories. Your fate awaits you.

Humility

In all you do, remain humble. No one is greater than anyone. We’re all different with different gifted abilities. Be grateful for the abilities you were gifted with. If you don’t know yet what your gifts are, take time to think about what kinds of aspects of life you enjoy, make you happy, and/or want to do more than anything else. Once you find your talent, stick with it. Learn along the way and teach others.

Sprinkles of Peace by L. M. Montes

A beach swathed in varied light as time moves on–
mountains dressing themselves in snow with honored presence–
melodious music sprinkling peace from beaks of birds–
leaves on trees waving as wind rushes by–
a kiss caressing a cheek–
a hand holding the gentle and meek–
passion’s emotive gaze from eye to eye.

An Interview

This week I completed an interview with a national magazine. This is one of the photos I used. I enjoy talking about the journey I have been on since I set ‘pen to paper’ writing my first book. It was and still is my dream to write books and tell stories. The road hasn’t been easy though. There were some potholes along the way. The key is to stick with it and never ever give up. When the article goes live, I will share the link here on my site.

Oceanic Symphony by L. M. Montes

In the roar of the ocean
the waves whisper–
breezes tickle–
feathering their way
over waters so vast,
conducting a symphony
so loud yet so fair.
