Loyal to A Degree Book Trailer & Promo

Loyal to a Degree

I don’t usually talk about historical fiction much because it’s generally not my thing, but my mom has been working with the author of Loyal To A Degree, Horst Christian, to help him get his book ready for publication. I’ve heard a lot about the story and Christian’s life over the last month, and it’s too interesting not to share.

It doesn’t sound like a really scary condition by the name. I mean,  it’s a “pre” condition, right? Which means it comes before the really, really scary issue. Yes, that’s true, but preeclampsia can be just as dangerous on its own without ever evolving into eclampsia. Believe me, I know. What’s so scary about Preeclampsia? To understand why the condition is so scary, you have to know a little [...] Read more »
