Aug 30th Polly’s List by Kim Ligon

Give a warm welcome to Kim Ligon, author of Polly’s List! Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Kim and her Polly’s List.

Kim, I have a few quick questions for you:

What makes you laugh out loud? Wile E Coyote. I can’t watch an entire Road Runner cartoon without at least one out loud laugh.

What secret do you use to blast through writer’s block? Do something else creative. Spin fiber, knit, crochet, play the piano, build buildings for the model railroad layout, start a different story.

How long have you been writing? I have been writing since I was nine years old—decades! Only just now getting published.

Did you tell friends and family that you were writing a book? Or did it take a while to come out and tell friends and family you were a writer? My family and friends knew I was writing and I set up my blog site www.spinningromance.com specifically to keep them in the loop on my writing adventure, as well as to share my observations of the world around me. Everyone has been helpful and encouraging on this journey. I am blessed.

Tell us a little about Polly’s List.

CJ Reynolds couldn’t wait to escape his hometown. He’s loving his bachelor life as a software developer in California. So much so that he hasn’t been back in years to see the grandmother who raised him.

Mikal Benson believes her small town is perfect for raising her son, Will, alone. When she finds her neighbor, Polly Rogers, sprawled on the floor- barely clinging to life – in a pool of blood, she calls Polly’s grandson—CJ Reynolds—and insists he must come home. Now!

From her coma, Polly whispers three words that change everything. Did she fall or was she pushed? CJ, Mikal, and Will form an unlikely team coming together to discover the truth as danger engulfs them. …danger engulfs them and love transforms them into a family.

Sneak Peak Between the Pages: of Polly’s List

POLLY’S LIST By Kim Janine Ligon From Wild Rose Press 8/17/2022

Why is the Bassett baying? Mikal Benson hurried across the yard and pushed her neighbor’s unlocked back door open. It groaned loudly. The still howling dog rumbled into the kitchen – as quickly as his short legs would allow.

“What’s wrong Rhett? Polly, where are you?” she called as she crossed the worn linoleum-covered kitchen floor. “It’s me, Mikal.”

The dog loped into the front entryway. She followed. What happened? Was the purple-flowered heap with legs and arms akimbo Polly? Blood pooled beneath her head . The body was lying in front of the door. Was she still alive? Mikal knelt beside her neighbor’s crumpled body. She gently picked up her arm and felt for a pulse. It was faint. Polly took a ragged breath and moaned. Mikal pulled her cell phone out and called 911.

A blood stain circled Polly’s head like a dark, expanding halo – blotting out the muted colors of the antique rug and spreading into the cracks in the parquet floor. Something had to be done.
