Charlie’s deal with Death. The little girl Death befriends next. And a third part that has never been published. One new edition from Robert S. Maiden, coming soon.
Read how it begins
I All for Her, 2020
So Charlie went to the hospital chapel and prayed. The answer didn’t come from an angel, or from a demon. It came from Death.
Death offered a deal: perform the acts and keep the promise, and the woman he loves will live. Break either one and the deal is broken. Blessing or curse, Charlie has no choice but to accept.
How far would you go to save the one you love?
II All for Them, 2022
Joe is Death. To Cassandra, he’s the imaginary friend she’s had since she was very young, the one nobody else can see.
“Who are you talking to, my dear?”
“My friend Joe.”
“But there is no one here.”
“He is right in front of you.”
“He said that he would see you later on tonight.”
Before long, Cassandra is caught up in a deal of her own, one made to satisfy Joe’s morbid desires. She has no idea what she’s agreed to.
III New to this edition
The third part has never been published. What it holds stays in the dark until the new edition is out.
All for Her, Them, and Me brings all three parts together in one book, in reading order.
“Before you read this must-read, I recommend reading Robert’s first book, All For Her.”
The new edition takes that advice: both novels, in order, in one book, with the third part after them.
One everyday small town in Texas. Five people facing decisions, some they walked into and some they were pushed into, and none of them turning out the way anyone saw coming.
DJ hits the ground by the swings. His little sister Maggie jumps off hers and runs to him: “Please be okay!”
Mathew Patrick gets his name written on a tag in black marker, then a question he isn’t ready for: who’s your sponsor?
Bobby waits twenty-five minutes outside a pawnshop. She comes out smiling. “It can be done.” He isn’t sure he wants to know what.
He’s lost everything, so he heads back to the shelter, ready to refuse to leave. He’s got nothing left to lose.
She has never sleepwalked in her life, yet she wakes in her living-room chair at 5:00 a.m. She calls for Bernie. No answer.
Robert S. Maiden grew up in a big family and raised six kids of his own. On long road trips he passed the hours telling them stories, some remembered from radio programs he listened to as a boy, others he made up himself.
His brothers and sisters kept telling him to write them down, and his wife, Trish, encouraged him to take it seriously. All for Her grew out of the tales and surprising twists that delighted his kids as they grew up.
By day he’s a construction safety manager. Off the clock you’ll find him with his family, watching sports from the bleachers, or throwing a great party for Halloween, his favorite holiday.
Start with All for Her, then keep going with All for Them. Both are out now, along with It’s a Puzzle, and All for Her, Them, and Me is on its way.
