Entertaining Read - My Three MOMs - A novel

 Love this review on amazon of my YA to NA novel: My Three Moms
 
http://www.amazon.com/My-Three-Moms-Hazel-Campbell-ebook/dp/B00UMAA300/


 "This book is a really interesting page turner. What's going to happen to Destiny next as she tries to find out who is her mother, and evade very determined kidnappers. The characters she meets as she changes lifestyles are engaging. Some like Yahoo made me laugh. And as to that proposal scene at the end? "A girl could dream", Destiny says - of a more romantic one?  Really funny. I couldn't stop reading until the end and wanted more."

New ebook My Three Moms



www.amazon.com/My-Three-Moms-Hazel-Campbell-ebook/dp/B00UMAA300/
www.amazon.com/My-Three-Moms-Hazel-Campbell-ebook/dp/B00UMAA300/

There's no way to describe the destruction of self when, after nineteen years, Destiny gets a letter telling her that Carmen, who was the person she knew as mother, was not her birth  mother - Talk about identity theft!

Her problem is compounded when she is told that there are two other mothers  - an egg donor and a surrogate.


Destiny says:

When I first found out about all this, I was shattered. Not so much broken, but as if I had never been put together properly. As if I existed only in scattered pieces. Piece from Angie, piece from Mama Mac and nothing from Carmen who was the only mother I knew.

Added to this, her former wealthy life vanishes. Her father is in prison for fraud, Carmen has deserted them and she is completely on her own. Until the irrepressible attorney she consults to find her surrogate mother enters the picture. 

A very entertaining read

Changing my ebook cover

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EEAWWCG
One of the good things about ebook publishing is that it is easy to change things which are not working.

My ebook When Times are Strange has not been getting much notice, so I decided to  change the cover which was rather dull to a more dramatic one. 

There are six stories in this collection with strong entertaining characters - very colourful Jamaican characters facing strange times and strange happenings.

Here's a quote from an interview with Jacqueline Bishop.
"Hazel Campbell, a 2011 Silver Musgrave medalist, is a marvellous writer. Her characters literally jump off the pages and you get fully immersed in their worlds" Read the interview here
Hop over to my amazon page and take a look inside, and buy a copy please

Short Story genre gets a BOOST

Announcement that the Nobel Prize for literature has gone to a writer of short stories is good for a genre which often takes a back seat to novels.  Heartening also that it has gone to a female writer.
"Canadian short-story writer Alice Munro has been awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Ms. Munro is only the thirteenth woman to win the prize since its inception in 1901.
The Swedish Academy, which awarded Ms. Munro the 8 million Swedish-kronor ($1.25 million) prize in Stockholm on Thursday, said in a brief statement that it picked the 82-year-old author because she is the "master of the contemporary short story."

I like writing short stories because the genre allows for experimentation, and moves to the story's conclusion at great speed. Check out my short stories on amazon at :

Reminder

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007U78HEC

Just reminding y'all, that my ebook My Darling You is still available on amazon
 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007U78HEC

Here's an extract from my favourite story in the collection



Extract from Emancipation Park one of the stories in ebook  My Darling You



At five o’clock, Melissa hastened out of her office. She had one hour before her class started, enough time to pass by the park and catch a bus to the Evening Institute where she was a student.

She didn’t need to ask the location of the statues. There was already a small knot of people gazing up at the monument. Some were munching on snacks as if at a picnic and making jokes; but some just stood looking up at the huge figures as if they held some vital secret for mankind.

Melissa stood at the edge of the small crowd. The sight of the man’s very prominent genitals made her uncomfortable. She felt her face growing hot. She turned away and bumped into a photographer, camera pointed in her direction. She immediately panicked, blush disappearing and her face turning very pale. What would Mama say if they published a picture of her looking at the statues?

He seemed to understand her problem. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I didn’t take a picture of you.”

She nodded at him, not sure if she should thank him, and started to walk away.

“It’s all fiction, you know,” he said.

She paused to stare at him, not understanding what he was talking about.
     “The man. Nobody is that big. I mean, I know he is larger than life, but those genitals! Somebody’s wish list, perhaps.”
