WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU... “I don’t have anything to give a good woman, Laura.” Jake Beckett is a man frozen in the loss and grief of the past - a man who accepts that the existence that he has is the penance that he must pay. “My faith died a long time ago, Jake.” Laura Howard is a woman also mired in the past – a woman who has battled the monsters, but who fears that she may have lost the war. Two strangers struggling to fight their way out of invisible chains, they must travel together toward safety, freedom and peace. Faithful, Tennessee is the destination. For both of them, maybe, finally, a home, a sanctuary, a place where they each can find peace. And in each other, maybe they can find passion, laughter, acceptance. Love. But the past always follows and evil can find the best concealed path. And sometimes, the only way out is through.
Author
I was born in Kentucky and raised in Florida, so I am a southerner through and through. Since I was old enough to pick up a book, I have been a voracious reader. I wrote the usual poetry and short stories in high school, and I kept the dream of writing in the back of my heart until opportunity and encouragement helped me to realize that dream. I live in Tampa with my kids, grandkids, dogs, various other livestock, and way more books than is strictly healthy. Hot Romance. Suspense. Humor & heart. Grown up stories for grown up people. This is what I write. There's also food, music, dogs, the occasional geek reference, and quite possibly an inappropriate joke. There will likely be dead bodies as well. Three random facts about me:
- I was bitten by a shark when I was 14.
- I have read War and Peace. (When I get to the afterlife, I am demanding that week of my life back. Sorry, Tolstoy.)
- It is my sincere belief that any situation can be improved by eating some cheese. My live philosophy is this - guard your inner peace and read dirty kissing books.
