COMING SUMMER 2013 - SILVERED MIRRORS

"The beautiful archipelago of the Azula islands lay south west in the Atlantic and is the home of Senior Crown Counsel Callie Sheridan. Callie is in the midst of  a highly sensitive prosecution that is set to change the political and societal landscape on the mainland of Lazal.

The key witness for the prosecution has disappeared and  a dark menace looms in the town of Chriswood as the intricate web of players becomes more complex by the minute.

All is not what it seems and the residents are forced to take a look within themselves, their past lives and associations.....their silvered mirrors will undoubtedly be cracked."

EXCERPT

"Where am I?" Callie whimpered as she shifted on the sheets.

Looking to her left, the blue glow from the monitor cast an eerie shadow into the corner of the room. It was dark, night.

What had happened to the day? Was it just one day gone or two? How long had she been lying here?

A nurse entered the room, confirming the suspicion that she was in a hospital. "How are you doing this evening sweetie?" the matronly lady chirped as she smoothed the corners of her patient's bed linens.

"I'm thirsty and my head aches. What happened? How did I get here?" Callie questioned.

The nurse continued her task without saying another word. Callie tried to raise her head from the pillow. Dark images raced through her mind. The faster they moved the more her head hurt and the less she understood.

She felt cold. The beep, beep, beep of the monitor was annoying. She closed her eyes to shut out the noise, to shut it all out.

And then she remembered.

The evil twisted look on her assailant’s face and the acrid smell of gunpowder.
