The following showcase was deemed incorrect for a magazine I submitted to, so I’m sharing it here with you. Greetings to … Continue reading Showcasing Author Clients

Author J Franklin Payne Returns With An Excerpt From His Book Thread #Author’sCorner #WordPressWednesday
Hello to All.
Recently in the Featured Author of the Week J Franklin Payne #WordPressWednesday
section, we met and began to get to know, author J. Franklin Payne and his book Thread.
Today, he is back to share a bit of the book with us.
Hello Readers of Patty’s World.
I’m happy to be returning to you with an excerpt of Thread for your reading enjoyment.
In my book, I write about Corporate Corruption in 1976, San Francisco. It was out of control but what is happening now in 2021, is insane. Just like what Kyle Stone had to do. He was given the mission of getting the goods on a Senator by using sex to entrap him. Kyle then gave the tapes to the CIA to use to get him out of office. Read more in Thread, an amazing story.

It did not take long…

I’d like to introduce you to my latest Tell-It-To-The-World Marketing (Author, Blogger, Business Assist) client.
First, in your own words tell us a little about you.
Hello and thanks for having me on the blog today. My name is, J Franklin Payne. I am the author of a Novel called, Thread.

After intense training in combat and engineering, I earned a Commission as an Infantry Officer at eighteen, the youngest ever commissioned, served during the Vietnam war and could not wait to get back to civilian life.

To find a stone laid by the Snake of Steel City,
Before the Lowly-Ladies House,
Beyond a Blood-Baked Bridge,
From a rise leading out,
High, upon a ridge…

At the last tree,
It is the first point you see!
