MIST
A mysterious footlocker washes up
on Livvy McKay's shore. Minutes after recovering it she is assaulted by an
intruder. Wounded and unable to give chase, she is startled by a knock at the
front door. A stranger is looking to rent a boat from her business, McKAY'S
CHARTERS. Livvy doesn't believe in coincidences. Especially when the stranger
is wearing black-just like her assailant.
Jack Morell is a desperate man.
After receiving a cryptic phone call from his uncle-a call spiked with the
sound of gunfire in the background, he is frantic to locate his uncle's ship.
Warned to use discretion, Jack opts to rent a boat from McKAY'S CHARTERS for
his search.
A defiant Livvy grills Jack, but deems that he
is not her assailant. In fact, she learns that the trunk belongs to his uncle.
Together, they uncover its contents, and now they are being hunted.
Someone doesn't want the world to
know what is in that trunk. Someone who is well-connected.
Unable to trust the authorities,
Jack and Livvy have only each other. Will it be enough to survive the
Atlantic's frigid clutch?

BLUE-LINK is a fictional global company

diamond ring.
The trilogy features SHADOW, MIST, and
coming soon, DUSK. These are all stand-alone novels without cliffhanger
endings.
Excerpt 1:
As she faced Jack, her
breath hitched. Under the stark glow from the hanging lantern his features were
beveled in shadows. Author? Scientist?
Not damn likely. Not with that countenance. Not with the taut command he held
over his body. He was a muscular animal coiled and ready for attack-and
certainly a better weapon to have around than the lobster buoy.
“Will a pork chop and
salad do?” she rasped.
The creature unwound and
rose to approach her. “Yes,” he said. “But there is something we have to do
first.”
In the tight confines of
the kitchen, he literally had her boxed up against the counter. Gripping the
granite edge she felt her elbow nudge a cookie jar.
“Wh-what’s that?”
He leaned in. My God, was
he going to choke her-or kiss her? Why was her heart pounding like a base drum?
And why was she not shoving him away?
Jack’s arm slid past her
hip to haul open the freezer door. A waft of frigid air tickled her nose as he
drew out an ice tray.
“We have to put ice on
that eye.”
Popping a few cubes onto
a kitchen towel, he rolled the cloth up and gently pressed it to her face.
Helplessly, she stared up into his eyes. So much turmoil and intensity lurked
there. That maelstrom sucked her in. Hell,
it stimulated her. She wanted to launch her arms around his neck and smash her
body against this rugged vista. But no-she was paralyzed. And surely she was
delusional.
Excerpt
2:
Going to the police to
report the break-in was as fulfilling as going to a doctor to complain about a
headache. After a lecture on owning a business, and the vulnerability of her
location out on the peninsula, Livvy walked out of the Gull Harbor Police
Department feeling like she was the
criminal for not installing an adequate security system. That wasn’t going to
help her sleep any better tonight…but the baseball bat under the bed might.
As she pulled into the
gravel parking lot in front of Sea
Lantern Cottage, Livvy didn’t think the area felt that remote. A small jut
of land marked the entrance to Gull Harbor on one side, and the gaping Atlantic
filled the other. She climbed out of her Jetta and gazed across the harbor at
the lineup of fish houses-wooden dwellings on stilts. They were only a
ten-minute boat ride away.
She was not secluded.
But if that were the
case, then why did her hand hesitate on the front door knob? Why did she walk
over to the living room window and peer inside as if she expected to find a
shadow behind the drapes?

...Okay, that's the official third-person
bio. Now let me tell you the real story. I'm an avid Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan,
which means I'm a masochist. I will eat anything with mozzarella on it. I'm
still mourning the fact that Buffy is gone. I write because I like the power.
In life we have so little control. When I write, I have total control of my
character's fates. Ahhh, the power rush! LOL
I truly believe that I was a soul singer
in my former life, which is interesting because I can't sing. But man, I can do
a mean lip-syncing rendition of Midnight Train To Georgia! :)
