The pandemic knocked Carina flat. Now that she is home from a months-long hospital stay, she hopes to have a big family Christmas. But no one seems to care. Her husband is working out of town and her grown children are scattered all around the country. The only one who seems to understand is a young man in her grief group. He offers her his family cabin in the mountains of Colorado. There, she is guaranteed to have a white Christmas, something she hasn’t had in a long time. She writes about it in her journal, trying to convince herself she can do it alone. But it still doesn’t seem possible. She isn’t adventurous, she’s always been everyone else’s caregiver. Could she really do something so extravagant just for herself? Could she really write herself a Christmas?

Then she meets Destiny and justice takes on a new meaning. It's called revenge. https://www.authorannswann.com A former emergency services dispatcher, rock-n-roll radio station secretary, hospital information operator, and grade school teacher, Ann Swann has been many things. Through it all were the words. She's been a writer since her teenage years and began winning fiction awards in college. As a child she grew up much like Stevie-girl in small town Texas. One difference? Ann never got up the nerve to enter the haunted house alone. She waited until she married her husband, Dude, then they went in together. Ann would love to hear your thoughts on her stories. Feel free to message her at any of her social media sites. https://www.authorannswann.com /Users/ann/Desktop/Takers-Jacket - lorez copy.jpg Ann is the author of STEVIE-GIRL AND THE PHANTOMS SERIES as well as ALL FOR LOVE, a contemporary women's novel (5 Prince Publishing), and STUTTER CREEK, a romantic suspense novel about a woman who goes looking for an old flame and finds a serial killer instead. The follow up book, LILAC LANE, is also a romantic suspense novel detailing one woman's quest to escape an abusive ex-husband. Book three is set near Stutter Creek at COPPER LAKE. It details the plight of Detective Kendra Dean who finds herself face to face with a deranged killer. ALL FOR LOVE is Ann's only women's novel - so far - it is the tale of a young woman who found out that the man of her dreams just might be the worst thing that ever happened to her. Ann has also written in the horror genre. TAKERS: Apocalypse in Eden is her first novel in that field. One reviewer described it as "a bloody, dark, and fast moving book." She has a few short stories in the horror genre, too. Check out her Amazon page to see what is offered.
