Strange Courage

By Ted Manzer

Most of the Forgotten Virtues series is now available on Kindle. Never Alone was released in 2017 and is in the process of being re-released. Three more books in the series are now out there. Strange Courage (second book of the series takes Carl from his High School graduation to his recovery from a nasty divorce. The third book, Second Chances, takes Carl from his ex-wife’s death and the custody of his son to his heroic death at age 59. In the fifth book, Grandfather’s Way, his youngest and most timid granddaughter emerges from the shadow of her overachieving family and accomplishes more in four months than most do in a lifetime. The fourth book, Promises Kept is still undergoing editing. It depicts how his grandchildren react and adjust to Carl’s death.

Ultimately, all these will be available on the paperback version also.

Also, a stand-alone romance entitled Virginia is now out on Kindle. Virginia is a romance written from a man’s perspective for women who often bemoan that they don’t know how men think. Gray Jarvis is a former football star and successful young engineer, but he is not overly experienced with women. He often says the wrong thing without meaning any malice, but he wants nothing more than to win the heart of an impoverished country girl from West Virginia, who has become the surrogate mother of her younger siblings. Because she has been burdened with so much responsibility, she is accustomed to making decisions, and she is in complete control of the relationship. Her reluctance to build a serious friendship with this man who seemingly has it all frustrates Gray to no end. Virginia feels that helping those in need supersedes any personal wants she might have, and Gray cannot understand that. Still, his passion for her won’t allow him to walk away. This is definitely not your typical romance.
