Month: September 2020

To anyone interested in purchasing my books directly from me, you can reach me at drzannelliauthor@gmail.com. Your payment will be processed via pay pal, referencing the email above. Once I receive notice of payment I will sign and ship the books. At present, to make things easier for all of us, I charge $15.00 per book plus a shipping fee of 3.00 per book and sales tax of $1.00 for a total of $19.00. The shipping is the same whether it’s being shipped to someone in RI or another state. Of course if you’re in Rhode Island you can come to book selling/signing events, which I’m hoping will return. I will post any that I will be participating in. At this time the only upcoming one is at the Westerly Amrory on 11/1 from 10am to 3pm. The cost for shipping overseas is pricey and beyond my control. The taxes remain the same but the shipping cost is $24.00/per book. Sorry but I have to say in that case Amazon is the better deal.

I am sorry to say that Dark Night of The Soul and A Darkness Descending will not be available on all formats until the middle of October. I recommend purchasing them through Amazon, paperback or Kindle prior to reading Where There Was Darkness. We don’t want to give any story plots away. You can always contact me at drzannelliauthor@gmail.com

Hello friends. On November first I will be selling and signing books at the Westerly Armory. The event will include many talented crafters and in these extraordinary times, it will be one great way to leave our problems behind if only from 10am to 3pm. The Westerly Armory is at 41 Railroad Avenue Westerly, RI 02891 Stop by and say Hi. I hope to see you there.

For those of you following me and reading my books, I want you to know that I have now begun publishing all my novels on Draft to Digital. That means they will all be available in multiple formats. I’m going to list the books below, but first.

Dark Night of Soul, my first novel is set in the horror genre but it is so much more than that. What I’m writing about is how our lives, the lessons we learn as children, shape the decisions we make, how they give us the strength to make the decisions we know we should no matter the personal consequences. In Dark Night we meet Marcus . Having escaped the brutal existence forced upon him by Gregor (a monster very different than many you’ve seen), Marcus has chosen to be the last of Gregor’s prisoners. Both Marcus and Gregor faced abuse, Gregor’s by his parents. Without the love of family, with only painful memories, he chooses to let the darkness in his life consume him. Marcus, facing the same type of abuse, uses the memories of his childhood, the lessons they taught him, not only to survive and but to keep fighting against the darkness Gregor gave him and step into the light.

A Darkness Descending, my second novel, uses what I learned as a child to shape Marcus into the man he later becomes. His memories and experiences lead him to a possible freedom, one he leaves behind in his decision to stop Gregor. You learn as he does, what the difference a hug, loving parents, their understanding and encouragement can mean to a child.

My children’s book for preschool to second graders is Peacedale

The day has finally come. Sister World 2 is available at Amazon paperback and Kindle format. It is also available at Apple books, and Kobo. It will soon be available at 24 Symbols, OverDrive, Bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, Hoopla, Barnes and Noble, Scribd and Tolino. It felt great to finally finish the edits and submit the book. Operation Switchback, the plan Kahill of Terah developed to rescue our leaders, putting them back in power is audacious and filled with danger. The physics is as real as possible in theoretical physics. Though the places and people are an invention of my over active imagination, a great deal of research went into making them people you might meet and grow to love or in some cases hate. Please make sure to get your copy and post a review on Amazon.
