New Book Launch Eternal Road – The final stop by John W. Howell
I’m very excited to have John Howell visiting my blog today to celebrate his new book Eternal Road: The Final Stop. My dear friends and visitors, please join me to give John a warm welcome.
Before we start, help yourself with some drinks and goodies.


Now, let me invite John to tell you all about his unique book of a great adventure.
![Eternal Road: The final stop by [John W. Howell]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41LUXIOgiSL.jpg)
Thank you so much for having me on your blog, Miriam, and for helping me launch Eternal Road – The final stop. I know you are always busy with new projects so I’m happy you could take time to help with the launch. Let me describe the kind of book it. Eternal Road is the story of two people finding their way through the selection process leading to the place where one will spend eternity. Yes, it is true. They both have passed away. James Wainwright just died in an auto accident. Samantha Tourneau died seventeen years before. Sam is James’s guide to help him decide where to spend eternity. This is not your usual thriller or paranormal romance. It is a piece of fiction that is a combination of inspiration, adventure, time travel, sci-fi, a touch of erotica, and a dash of spiritual. In short, it is a lot of things, but hopefully, a story that will make you happy to have read it.
It is now available on Amazon in paper and Kindle. The Kindle edition is introductory priced at 99¢ until October 15th.
Here are the universal links

The blurb
James Wainwright picks up a hitchhiker and discovers two things 1. The woman he picks up is his childhood sweetheart, only Seventeen years older. 2. He is no longer of this world.
James began a road trip alone in his 1956 Oldsmobile. He stops for a hitchhiker only to discover she is his childhood sweetheart, Sam, who disappeared seventeen years before. James learns from Sam falling asleep miles back caused him to perish in a one-car accident. He also comes to understand that Sam was taken and murdered all those years ago, and now she has come back to help him find his eternal home.
The pair visit a number of times and places and are witness to a number of historical events. The rules dictate that they do no harm to the time continuum. Trying to be careful, they inadvertently come to the attention of Lucifer, who would love to have their souls as his subjects. They also find a threat to human survival and desperately need to put in place the fix necessary to save humankind.
The question becomes, will James find his eternal home in grace or lose the battle with Satan for his immortal soul and the future of human life with it? If you like time-travel, adventure, mystery, justice, and the supernatural, this story is for you.
An Excerpt
Sam opens her eyes. “Oh, my goodness.”
“Can you believe it? Luckily, we didn’t land in the pools.”
“I’m glad you concentrated on the front of the place and not on the whole view.”
James laughs. “I would have felt embarrassed if we’d shown up dripping wet.”
“Not to mention my new dress. What should we do now?”
“Check-in. And you should change and freshen up. We have about three hours before our command appearance.”
Sam nods her concurrence, and the two go inside the massive hotel. They find their way past hundreds of slot machines and to the front desk. The clerk asks, “May I help you?”
James says, “We would like a room, please.”
The clerk raises an eyebrow. “Do you have a reservation?”
James looks down. “No. We just got into town and need a place.”
“Could I have your name?”
“James Wainwright.”
“Ah, yes, Mr. Wainwright. We do, in fact, have a reservation for you. Mr. Sedit’s assistant booked a room for you.”
“Mr. Sedit?”
“Oh, yes. The gentleman is a big friend of the hotel and almost lives here full time.”
“That doesn’t surprise me.”
“I’ll have someone take you to the Lakeview Suite.”
“How much, per night, does that cost?”
“It is $1,100 per night, but Mr. Sedit has paid for the room already. He also wants you to enjoy yourself, so he has put a thousand-dollar credit on the suite, should you want to use the spa or, perhaps, take a chance at one of our many games.”
“I’m stunned.”
“You’re one of Mr. Sedit’s friends, and so we consider you a friend of the hotel as well.”
The desk person rings a small bell, and another member of staff appears. “Please take Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright to their suite.”

Well, these posts have reached over 100,000 subscribers. Granted they may be all the same subscribers. The number of clicks on the universal links total over 3100. You would think out of that number there would be a few sales. Amazon reports are pretty far behind so there is no way to get an exact number. but at least I can gage what Amazon reports to what I know. I’ll give it a few days to calculate what the tour produced. Thanks, Craig.
