Excerpt: from Ch. 1
Anne stretched her neck
muscles as they tightened at just the thought of Victoria. Her attempts
to shake the green-eyed monster were ineffective, so she turned her
attention to the mystery envelope waving its secretive arms, enticing
her to open it. She picked it up and walked over to her mission-style
desk to locate an envelope opener. Anne took the silver blade and ran it
through the glued seal. The contents trickled out and onto her desk.
Colored photographs fanned out in front of her and a white note with red
hue writing stared at her.
For My Anneliese
“No!”
She gasped, feeling her hands begin to numb. Her veins were flooded with fresh fretful blood that burned her chest and pulsated into her ears as the thumping of her heart pounded deep within her. The one person in the entire universe who ever called her by her given birth name was Carter. The room was losing all focus and was quickly becoming dim. But then Carter’s face became clearer, like a luminous apparition pulling her subconscious in deeper.

About the author:
I think I came out of
the womb writing. I published my first poem when I was in elementary school and
my first short story was not too far after that. When I had my son, I wrote for
various publications about his birth, what we went through as a family and when
he was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum I shared his story with others who were
going through the same scary process as we had.
Before my thirtieth
birthday, I vowed to write and complete a full length book, which I did. I
finished two weeks before my birthday. After a couple of frustrating contract
negotiations, I decided to take a time out. Earlier this year, I made the decision
to get my baby (Deadly Deception) published. With another frustrating contract
deal down the drain, I decided that self-publication was my destiny.
Between homeschool awesomeness, domestic goddess
duties, city upheaval, extra-curricular craziness, it has been a challenge to
tidy the book up and slap a red bow on it. With the help of some amazing
editors it's ready with a red bow on top.
