Who is Josh Howard?

Since I no longer work in Stephenville, but am now full time in Mineral Wells, Texas, I wanted to show you the set-up at my new office. My new clients in Mineral Wells see my library when they enter my office. As you can see in the photo below, I have all six of my books displayed.

DREAM BIG is the slogan for my Dreams Never Lie series which consists of four books: Dreams Never Lie, Dreams Are Forever, Shattered Dreams, and Forgotten Dreams. Josh Howard is the main character in all four books.

Josh is a young FBI agent, on his way to the top. He is being mentored by one of the higher ups of the FBI. As a young boy, his next-door neighbor and best friend was kidnapped and killed. This pushed him towards a career in law enforcement. In today’s world of crooked cops, political unrest, neighbor hating neighbor because of different beliefs, Josh is one of the good guys.

He goes to church on Sunday’s, in fact, his best friend is his minister. He does carry a gun, and isn’t afraid of using it, when needed. Josh’s exploits include not only the kidnapping and murder that I mentioned earlier in this blog, but you have child trafficking, brain washing, child abuse and many other crimes.

Even though my books are full of these crimes, they don’t just hit you in the face. They are mentioned, but rest assured, there is NO graphic sex and very little profanity. I firmly believe you can tell the story without all the words that many authors include just for the shock appeal. Also, none of my books are cliff hangers. Each book tells a complete story.

I was brought up to know right from wrong and my characters reflect my values. Oh, being that I live in Texas, I’ve got to tell you this. The book cover for Dreams Never Lie shows Josh, the FBI man, holding a gun. Many venues refused to allow our ads showing the book cover because of the gun. Come on now, really? They’re trying to take our guns away, but to ban pictures of guns seems to be going a little too far. Especially when the gun is being held by a member of law enforcement.

Now that you know what a great guy Josh Howard is, I hope you’ll take a few minutes and check him out. I have a feeling that when my publisher sees this blog, he’ll be adding his two cents worth. And something tells me it will be worth your while. He may even put the first book at a discounted price. You never can tell what he might do.

Thanks for meeting Josh, I hope you learn to love him as much as I do.

When Elsie decided to try her hand at writing a novel, Fire Light Fire Bright was born followed by Dreams Never Lie -which quickly became her publisher’s first Best-Selling Series. The Color of Thunder was published right between Dreams are Forever and Shattered Dreams. Elsie was born in Brooksville, Florida. Some of her fondest memories were swimming at Pine Island in the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Weeki Wachee Springs is where she learned to swim. In the early 1980’s, Elsie and her three children, Katie, Lisa G. and Jes moved to Texas. Shortly after moving to North Central Texas, Elsie met her husband Ronnie on a blind date and after a whirlwind courtship, they married in April 1987. After 34 years, they're still going strong.
