The novel, The God Whistle, is available free on Amazon for a limited time.

Why?
Why give away my books for free? Because I’m trying to build a fan base. As an Indy Author, I don’t have thousands of dollars to invest in advertising. That means people have to learn about my books by word of mouth. So I’m giving away my favorite book, The God Whistle, in hopes that you’ll like it, share it, and tell your friends. Plus, I think you’ll like the book well enough that you may want to give a few paperback copies to friends. Win-Win!!

So please, on April 11th, download The God Whistle from Amazon, read it and tell your friends about it. And if you liked the book, please leave a short review for it on Amazon.

Note: Unfortunately at this time, Amazon will only allow me to give it away in the US. I wish I could give it away worldwide but I can’t at this time.

Seeing how her decisions in the past have shaped her life, Mary struggles to know what God wants of her now. If she can find out, will He return her family to her?

    Wow! What a trip. My 6th book has just been released. And I don’t mind saying, they’re getting better all the time. My wife says that this is her favorite.

    Be Uplifting. There’s Enough Grief in the World

    I’ve become a huge Twitter fan. I’m constantly on it, perhaps to much for my own good. But I like the challenge of growing a following and I love how I can interact with people. I especially love it when someone drops me a note to tell me that one of my books touched them. I think this is what a community should be. People reaching out and touching other people even if it’s only just for the briefest of moments.

    Of course, Twitter will never take the place of real, warm body, face-to-face interaction. It’s not intended to be. It’s a connection point. It’s more like a personal letter used to be back in the old days. Some of us are old enough to remember what it was like to receive a letter from someone we knew and how excited we were to read it. Before we were married, my wife and I exchanged letters. It’s been 38 years and she still has them tucked away in a trunk. Twitter is something like that. Someone, somewhere is interacting with you, connecting with you at some level. It just happens to be in near real time and in less than 280 characters.

    But if you take a moment and read through your Twitter feed, you can come away feeling depressed and discouraged. There are so many negative Twitter postings that it can really suck the life out of you. It would almost seem that if you filtered out all the tweets involving politics, you’d have nothing left to talk about. Gloom, despair, and injustice seem to be the topic of the hour, day, week and season. It’s enough to make you want to turn off everything and hide under your blankets.


    But I try to avoid all that. There’s enough of that in the world. I want to be uplifting. Recently someone sent me a private message thanking me for all the jokes I tell. She said she was just about to delete her twitter account because she couldn’t stand all the negativity. Then she started following me and reading my posts. They make her laugh and brighten her day. As a matter of fact, several people have sent me notes thanking me adding a little laughter to their day. I like that. Their notes brighten my day.

    I tell a lot; I mean a lot of jokes on Twitter. They’re funny, stupid and corny. They’re uplifting. I avoid politics. I try to avoid things that are going to make you sad or angry. There’s enough grief in this world. I choose to be more like sunshine to brighten days than like the gloom of dark cloudy days. Why not do the same?

    The God Whistle Book Trailer

    The God Whistle is a powerful story of misplaced guilt and forgiveness. Mary finds herself rejected by almost everyone she knows, including her husband. Her guilt for what has happened is overwhelming. In desperation she turns to God, someone she had only superficially believed in. Now, if her marriage is to be saved, the only one who can fix it is God.

    I wrote the book trailer for The God Whistle. By itself it is a powerful statement but the story is even more so. The minister of the church I attend read it. After reading it, he put a review on Amazon for it where he said, “I am a better person for having read it.” I don’t think there could be a better endorsement for the book.

    You can purchase The God Whistle here.

    OK, I Admit It, I Am An Evangelist.

    OK, I admit it, I am an evangelist.

    Three years ago a minister prayed “Evangelism” over me.

    I rejected any thought that I would ever be evangelistic.

    I did not want to be a preacher, teacher or missionary.

    But honestly, I didn’t really know what evangelism meant.

    I knew I would never be a preacher.

    I’m not a teacher and I’ve had to learn how to actually like people.

    But then I wrote a story: The Rose Stone

    Through writing The Rose Stone I realized I had a problem: I was an addict, addicted to food.

    I weighed 300 pounds.

    I treated food like any addict would treat an abused substance.

    I sought help and began to treat my addiction.

    I lost 65 pounds.

    But how does that make me an evangelist?

    The Rose Stone tells a story about how God helps people through difficult times.

    People loved my book, The Rose Stone, and encouraged me to write more.

    I began writing in earnest.

    Every story is a story about everyday people and how God helps them through grief, pain and struggles.

    Every story shows something more about God: Mercy, Love, Grace, etc.

    Now I can see the truth.

    I was wrong about what an evangelist was.

    The minister was correct: I am an evangelist and the tools that God gave me to evangelize with are my stories.

    What tools has God given you?

    The God Whistle

    I’m working on my next book. I’m on my second draft of “The God Whistle.” It’s turning out better than I initially thought it would.

    My wife is my first round editor/proof reader. She read the first chapter and had to put it down because of the main character, Mary, made her so angry. I thought, “Yes! That’s exactly how you should feel about her.” When she finished the next three chapters, she said: “No wonder you’ve been so moody.” I didn’t think I had been moody but looking back on it now I can see I probably was. I can’t help but live vicariously through my characters and when you do that it’s bound to influence how you feel.

    The story itself deals with some painful things: Infidelity, Divorce, and Guilt. It’s hard to write something like that and not be immersed in the story, feeling all the pain and guilt that your characters feel. You have to think about things you normally wouldn’t think about, such as how would you deal with the situations I put my characters through.

    Throughout the story, Mary has to deal with letting go of her control and letting God “fix it.” She also has to ask herself, “What does God want me to do?” and she has to examine another question: Does God change his mind when he asks you to do something?

    Because of the genre I write in, it’s no secret as to how the story might end, and I won’t disappoint. Through it all there is growth and restoration. By the time you get to the end of the story, you’ll see how all the pieces fall into place. I’m expecting that you’ll be relieved when entire puzzle falls into place. At least that’s my hope.

    I’m shooting for a September 2017 release so keep your eye out for “The God Whistle”. I haven’t had the cover designed yet here but follow me here on Amazon, and they will let you know when the book is released.

    Book Signing Event to Raise Money For Domestic Violence Coalition of Van Buren County

    Ralph Nelson Willett, Sheriff Dan Abbott and Melanie Hooker of the Domestic Violence Coalition announce book signing.

    Ralph Nelson Willett, Sheriff Dan Abbott, and Melanie Hooker announce a book signing for the benefit the of the Domestic Violence Coalition (DVC) of Van Buren County.

    I am pleased to announce that I will be joining Sheriff Dan Abbott and Melanie Hooker of the Domestic Violence Coalition (DVC) for a book signing event. The event will take place Saturday, May 27th, 2017 at the Living Room Cafe in downtown South Haven, Michigan. All proceeds will benefit the DVC.

    My latest book deals with domestic violence. While doing research for the book I connected with the DVC. In discussions with Melanie and others, I learned a lot about the issues facing domestic violence victims. The DVC attempts to aid victims with services such as temporary housing, filing for personal protection orders and education to try and break the cycle of abuse that victims often go through.

    As part of my research, I found that my county does not have a shelter for domestic violence victims and must shuttle them to facilities in surrounding counties. I also learned that for Western Michigan, my county is second only to Kalamazoo County in the number of domestic violence crimes reported. The DVC’s long-term goal is to create a safe place that victims can go to to leave of dangerous situations.

    For a donation of just $10 you will receive a signed paperback copy of my book The Release: Escape From Torment. Sheriff Dan Abbott and Melanie Hooker will be there to answer any questions you may have on how you can help to protect members of our community. If you can’t make it, I am also donating all royalties from all of my books sold from Amazon from May 27 through May 29. Click Here For the Amazon Link

    When: Saturday, May 27, 2017, 9 AM to 4 PM (Memorial Day Weekend)
    Where: The Living Room Cafe, 520 Phoenix St., South Haven, MI 49090
