Easton Series Character Page Added to Website

I've added an Easton Series Character page to my website at www.donnadolf.com.  The bios of Jason Bonham and Eric Lane are now posted.

Jason Bonham

Jason Bonham was small for his age. He had black curly hair and large dark eyes rimmed with thick black lashes. His eyes were a deep dark brown that were almost black. Jason had the most beautiful smile when he chose to use it. He hated it of course. What 12 year old boy likes to be told that his smile is beautiful?

Jason’s parents had died in an auto accident a few years ago. His aunt already had four kids and just could not handle another child. Jason was a fire ball. His imagination kept him in motion and his mouth kept him in trouble; he always seemed mad at the world. Jason was so, so moody and tended to ignore you, but once you got him talking, sometimes you couldn’t shut him up. Jason likes music and plays the guitar. He is the joker of the angels and is their unofficial spokesman. Jason came to the Sanders Ranch looking for a place he could call home and love but Jason was doing his best to cause trouble.

Eric Lane

Eric Lane was blond haired and blue eyed with a devilish gleam that revealed a sharp intelligence. Eric loves animals and reading. He is the quiet one of the angels, but can hold his own in any situation.

Eric was hurting. He was doing his best to keep to himself. Eric’s mother had been young when she found out she was pregnant. When Eric was born he was taken away from her and given to his grandmother to raise as her own. Eric’s mother grew up, got married and had other children. She forgot about Eric. By the time he was 12, Eric’s energy was taxing on his grandmother.

Eric came to live at the Sanders Ranch when his grandmother became ill and could no longer keep up with the energetic little boy. Eric felt abandoned and was quietly rebelling.

Easton Holiday Contest

Signup for the Easton Angel Newsletter at this link http://on.fb.me/1nOkJ38 or on my website www.donnadolf.com. And don't forget to enter the "Name the Antagonist Contest," described below, by replying to the Newsletter email.

Now that Easton Harvest is well on its way to the publisher, my thoughts have turned to the next volume in the Easton Series, tentatively entitled Easton Holiday.

Jason, Eric and Jonathan find they need help with trouble at school. They were on their best behavior; after all, Christmas was only a month away. What were they going to do? Every time something happened at school, one of them was called into the Principal’s office. Someone was going out of their way to frame the angels. They knew they weren't at fault, but the Principal, the Vice-Principal, well, all the teachers thought they were the school bandits. And now Aunt Marian and Uncle Mike were beginning to believe the lies. Their only hope was that Deputy Jerry and Shelley would discover the truth.

I thought it would be fun to get help from the Easton Series followers to name the antagonists and have a contest. I am looking for three or four names to work into the book. I have no deadline yet, so please signup for my Easton Angel Newsletter and let me have your suggestions. I will let everyone know the deadline when it is established. I will send the winners of the contest a copy of Easton Holiday when it is published.

Remember these are 13 to 15 year olds. Although the angels are boys, the antagonists do not need to be male. I can't wait see your suggestions!
