Wishing You Peace and Joy this Holiday Season.

With so much uncertainty ahead, our families are paramount to our happiness.
May you find joy and peace, and purpose for helping others in the human family and also in our animal kingdom. I'll spend time this holiday with my children, now teens, my husband, his family, my dog, and bad kitty, and forget the world at large for a day or two.

After the New Year those who stand for truth and justice, to protect our most vulnerable under the fascist regime taking hold of the USA, will return with renewed intensity to remove those in power destroying OUR democracy.  It doesn't belong to them!  




On another note, my Novella, THE UNMOVING SKY now has an Audio Book!  Yay.



Amazon Review

"A truly GRIPPING read!"


I had fun previewing an advance reader copy of K.L. Hallam’s suspenseful debut novella, THE UNMOVING SKY. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. From the start, the set-up is ripe for action: brothers Jackson and Artie run off into the woods to escape their drunken dangerous father, but they get lost and take refuge in a cave to wait out a storm. I won’t recount much more to avoid spoilers, but someone else is hiding out there, too, and the tension ratchets up even further. I liked how Hallam keeps increasing the stakes and maintaining a brisk pace to create a page-turner. She also explores several serious themes, from alcoholism and domestic abuse to teen pregnancy and terrorism, in the course of this fast-paced adventure.

Last Week's Blog Interviews for The Unmoving Sky




Last week over on Resch Reads, I answered a few questions about my Thriller,
THE UNMOVING SKY. If you'd like to read the rest of the interview click on over.

Did you edit anything out of The Unmoving Sky that you wished would have made it to print?

It wasn’t edited out, but I would have liked to bring Jackson’s girlfriend, Brianna’s thoughts and history into The Unmoving Sky, and really dig into her experience. Maybe one day? I wrote out some of her POV in drafts, to really see where she was coming from.

And over on Girls *heart* Books, you can have a peek at my writing studio. 
A corner of a dark basement that transforms into a Swing Era Jazz Club.  If you're wondering, yes, I've written a YA, Swing Era whodunnit.  I cannot wait to dive back into that ms.


You can add The Unmoving Sky on Goodreads  or Smashwords. 



Watch the book trailer.

I love my book trailer. The first, and second time I watched I cried. My editor, Judith Graves helped in creating the trailer. Actually, she did most of the creating, and my dear friend, guitarist, Bruce Edwards of Dark Tone Music infused his musical magic. He's amazing if you ever need commercial tunes!
