His uplifting, warm and easy-to-read writing style invites you to look deeper inside yourself, and at the world and people around you. From the Back Cover: Despite her childhood hardships, then losing the love of her life and becoming a young widow with four children, the beautiful, vivacious Margie dedicated her life to loving, caring and sharing her wisdom. Margie opened her heart and her home to help those who needed her loving guidance. With unswerving devotion to her family and friends, she transformed lives and inspired joy and hope in everyone through her generosity, sense of fun, and unfailing faith. The many recollections within this uplifting tribute to a unique, sweet soul, portray Margie’s loving legacy. Love, Care and Share will inspire you to find what is most important to you. You will discover your own truth, and how everyone, everywhere, every day has opportunities to make a positive difference. Margie always said, “We are the hands and fingers of God, but we have to use them.” Praise for LOVE, CARE AND SHARE I started reading Love, Care and Share just after 7pm and it’s now 9:20pm. I was deeply drawn into it and it was like being with Margie again, only through your eyes and words. For these past few hours she “Lived” again. Thank you for that. The raw emotion expressed comes through vividly, about a Son’s Love for his Mother bringing her life into meaningful events and wanting her to be remembered as someone many of us Loved. I have often said to others that we go through life never really seeing others and ourselves but for our outer shells/bodies, instead of seeing the real entity that we are; which is the Soul. Margie saw the Soul and therefore was able to love as she did. - Chris Price I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading about your Mom in Love, Care and Share. It was amazing and the stories just made me sorry I didn’t know her myself. She must have had the biggest, kindest heart. Her willingness to give her time and her home and anything else which was needed made her very special indeed. You must miss her terribly. Your writing was lovely and by the end, I felt as though I knew all of you in a way I hadn’t before. Thank you for sharing it with me my friend. - Love, Sherry

Book excerpt: When the season for guarding sea turtle nests on Oak Island, North Carolina, began that year, Aubrey Benson struggled to find her usual passion. Rebuffed by her teenage daughter, Sunny, and threatened by her ex with a custody change, she was weary of her life and certainly in no mood for romance. The big, homeless war veteran probably meant to be helpful, but Aubrey distrusted him from their first meeting. It took days of working together on the beach for her to accept, then admire and, finally, to love Tom Clayton. But a sexual assailant is stalking the sleepy coastal community, and Tom fits the description of the attacker. Aubrey struggles to prove to herself and others that her faith in Tom is justified. All the while, a predator is closing in, and a dark, deserted beach is the perfect setting for danger.
