Shadow of Suspicion Taster Excerpt

I am really excited to share a first glimpse of my new book, Shadow of Suspicion. It's the second book in my Haunted by the Past Series.

This book is rapidly nearing completion and I am hoping for a January publication date, so keep you eyes open.

I hope you enjoy reading the excerpt.

Excerpt

Callie jumped violently as the van door opened and prince not so charming climbed back into the vehicle. “Ready to go?” he enquired.

“The sooner I’m out of your boorish company, the better!” she sniffed, her nose rising several degrees. He laughed, further igniting her ire.

He twisted the key in the ignition and the van roared into life. The man pulled his seatbelt around his body and clicked it into place. Callie would have dearly loved to strangle him with it.

As he pulled slowly onto the road, she glanced back at the layby through the large wing mirror on her side of the van. Her heart skipped several beats and she stared in shock.

Standing in the middle of the layby was the girl. Even though the rain poured down around her, it didn’t seem to touch the child. Callie shivered. Was it her imagination or did the rain actually pass through the girl? Even though she knew it was impossible, Callie was sure the girl’s eyes clapped onto her own through the mirror. She could sense the intensity of the child’s stare. A deep sense of foreboding flowed through her body.

She snapped her eyes to the road ahead. It wasn’t possible that she’d seen anything. It was her imagination. Maybe this trip to meet her real mother was taking more of a toll on her than she thought. Callie dismissed the encounters as nothing more than her overwrought imagination.

“Turn back………..before it’s too late.” The whispered words were soft, as if they’d been tossed on the wind. Callie shivered and drew her arms around herself.

The dark road sped past, carrying her towards her destination. There was no going back now!



Happy 2014 to Everyone!

We had some great fireworks in London to celebrate the New Year. They were truly awesome! It is hard to believe that a new year is already here. It feels like no time since the last one started. 2013 was a very exciting year for me, full of change. I realised my dream of becoming a published author and have three books to my name. I can't wait to continue with that exciting journey. I met so many wonderful people and this next year already promises to be even better.  

 

I wish everyone the very best 2014. I can't wait to see what this new year brings and to share it with all of you.

I Want to Wish Everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

I want to wish everyone the very best Christmas. I have had so many blessings this past year. I made my dream of being a published author a reality and I have made countless new friends in the bargain. I have been tremendously blessed.

 

I want to thank everyone I've connected with this year, most especially my very good friend Peggy L Henderson. You've been the best inspiration and friend I could have ever asked for. I have made many other good friends too this year. You've all been wonderful and I feel privileged to know each and every one of you.

 

I also want to thank every person that has bought, read, and enjoyed my books. You are very dear to me and are the reason I write every day. Thank you all for making 2013 a year I will never forget for all the right reasons.

 

May the love you feel at this special time of year be with you all the year through. For it truly is kindness and love that makes the world a better place. Merry Christmas!

Have you ever wondered if there was any sin that God's grace doesn't cover?  Does a person live who has fallen so deeply in the mire of sin that even God's love and mercy can't reach?  Even when all hope seems lost and you think life is no longer worth living, God's love shines through...somehow...

He works in mysterious ways, even when we make the conscious choice to deny Him.  He wishes for no one to be lost.  No one...

Priceless - Love's True Worth is such a story, a coming of age romance about a young girl faced with almost more than she can handle.  Her life leads her to ill choices that lead her down a dark and unworthy path...until she meets him...until he introduces her to the One who can reach down and save her.  The question remains, will she accept it?  Will she change her ways?

From the back cover...

Of what value is a life?  For some the cost of companionship is a few dollars while to others the cost is a lifetime of commitment to another.  Annequin’s life in Shady Grove begins simply enough, a caricature of the early lives of many young girls who find themselves the victims of circumstance.  Loss and a lack of deep caring in her home eventually drive this beautiful young woman away from her difficult home life to another life that she believes will be her way to happiness.  As far too many in Annequin’s position discover, the road chosen is sometimes paved with pain and disappointment.  With time and the testing of a young heart and soul, the woman from Shady Grove learns the true meaning of love and grace given by others.

Why I Wrote Priceless

I wrote this novel wanting to show that not everyone starts on a pristine path to his or her Christian walk.  Some people may have unfortunate circumstances that leads them down the dark paths of sin and then choose to turn their back on the One who can redeem them.  In Priceless, I show that no matter how dark the night may be, God's light can find a way.

Priceless is available as a digital download on Amazon Kindle, Nook, SmashWords, and soon on Kobo, iTunes, and Sony.  Priceless is available on Amazon as paperback too.
