FREE: *eBook* Nocturnal Musings: A Collection of Ponderings, Essays, and Stories

The listing, *eBook* Nocturnal Musings: A Collection of Ponderings, Essays, and Stories has ended.

Nocturnal Musings is a compilation of ponderings, essays, and stories written by the author over the years. The range of subjects is vast, but are an accurate representation of the kinds of topics many of us may think and wonder about on a daily basis.

Filled with bits of memoir, slices of biography, unapologetic opinion, personal meditations, historical exploration, and short stories, Walton-Porter invites readers to come along on a unique journey.

Sometimes the language is tame, other times the language is harsh. If you are easily offended, be prepared. Walton-Porter delivers an unvarnished look at the oft-terrible things that hide behind the curtains of life, especially death, betrayal, and loss.

Her short stories, "Mattie's Secret" and "Unearthly Seduction," represent two vastly different genres—horror and mainstream fiction.

Walton-Porter admits, "It’s my desire to rouse you from your mundane slumber—even for a little while—and make you think, ponder, reconsider, or explore one or more of the topics I have written about in this book."
