beyond comprehension, the mind and body take refuge in a safe place.
Sometimes, it takes the person on a journey that many people cannot
conceive. It is my opinion that Steven will never be able to return
to his former self."


That
quote was from one of my doctors that I saw while confined.

While
it is true that the death of my father was very traumatic, what
followed was truly real.

It
was a battle of wills with the epitome of Evil.

Killing of Miguel” was written. A story of a young man seeking

father’s soul.

Leslie Wolfe Taker Lives Book Tour and Giveaway


Taker
of Lives
by
Leslie Wolfe

Genre:
Thriller, Suspense

How
can you outrun a killer you won’t see coming?


They
are the most violent, blood-thirsty, and vicious of criminals. While
hunting for them, FBI profilers call these monsters UNSUBS, short for
unknown subjects of ongoing investigations. At any given time, in the
United States there are more than fifty serial killers at large,
preying on vulnerable, unsuspecting victims. 

Until
yesterday, no one knew Florida had another serial killer on the
loose. 
Special Agent Tess
Winnett
calls this particularly
elusive one the 
Taker of
Lives.

The
crimes: bewildering

After a
well-known model commits suicide, Tess refuses to accept the findings
and pushes for an investigation into the reasons behind the beautiful
young woman’s decision to end her life. What she finds surpasses
her wildest fears.

The
evidence: disturbing 

Each
new crime scene brings more questions than answers. While secrets are
revealed, even those meant to be kept forever in the dark, Tess can
draw only one conclusion: she’s not the one in charge; the 
Taker
of Lives
 controls the game, the
players, even the course of the investigation. 

The
race: intense

With little
information and even less evidence, Tess must connect the dots of a
deadly scenario with a large number of potential victims. If she
fails, another beautiful, young girl will die tonight, and the blood
will be on her hands.

The Taker
of Lives 
might be closer than
you think. Who’s watching
 you sleep
tonight?

Review of The Reluctant Bride by Sharon Kleve




Penelope Moore’s last boyfriend had no qualms about cheating even after he professed his undying love. As a wedding event planner Penelope has seen plenty of happily-ever-after. But with her terrible luck in the relationship department, she is reluctant to believe it will ever happen to her.

Without his consent, she used his professional experience and knowledge as a private investigator to write and publish a best-selling novel. Ferguson couldn’t forgive her underhanded deceit and ended their relationship.
When Ferguson meets Penelope he is once again willing to risk his heart, but Penelope isn’t as trusting. Just when he is beginning to win the beautiful event planner’s heart, his ex-girlfriend arrives in town and causes heartache all over again.
Can Penelope and Ferguson trust each other and their hearts enough to get their happily-ever-after?

Dark Evoke Series Book 1
by
V.L. King


Genre:
Romantic Suspense

****CONTAINS
AN ELEMENT OF PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE, AND IS THEREFORE ONLY
RECOMMENDED TO READERS OVER THE AGE OF 18****


They
say that old habits die hard, and twenty-seven-year-old, Kady Jenson,
is about to discover how very true that statement is.

Waking
up in the hospital with a complete stranger at her bedside should
have caused panic and confusion, but for some unknown reason to her,
Kady finds the company of the rugged, and devastatingly handsome man
simply irresistible. And that Irish brogue. Oh, my word!

It’s
only when she discovers that she has just awoken from a four-day
coma, with a three-year void in her memory, that brings on her panic
and confusion.

Kady
soon comes to realize that things change with time, not only
appearances. And if that wasn’t enough the sexual chemistry she
once shared with her boyfriend, now so long ago, and she begins to
fall back into buried habits unconsciously, each day, the growing
sense of foreboding becomes increasingly harder to ignore. Kady is
left on her own when her boyfriend goes on a business trip; she takes
it upon herself to find her Irish Stranger which sends them on a
quest, in a race against time, to piece the puzzle back together.

RECOMMENDED TO READERS OVER THE AGE OF 18****


Three
years lost; a body marred and a mission complete.

Waking
after a four-day coma, Kady Jenson felt her life crashing down around
her. Three years of her memory were missing, and the compelling man
at her side was not her years-long partner, but a stranger – a
stranger who promised to help her recover what she had lost.

But
how did Kady come to such a place?

What
dark, mysterious events had stolen her past and threatened her
future?

How
did her lover become a stranger, and this stranger become so terribly
important?

What
happened to turn Kady’s orderly life into a terrifying nightmare
which would leave her permanently marked, body and soul?

Kady
Jenson was a fighter.

For
four days, she fought through the darkness of her unconscious, and
for weeks afterward she fought for answers as to why her long-term
boyfriend was more of a stranger, while she felt so connected to the
Irish stranger now at her hospital bedside. The apprehension, fear,
anxiety, scars that she had no memories of gaining and an unfamiliar
passion which spawned each time she was in close proximity to the
stranger, provided a wake-up call.

Receiving
something she secretly craved helped regain the memories of the three
years she had lost... but nothing could prepare her for the
gut-wrenching truth. Kady discovered she had gone from fighter to
victim at the hands and from the manipulation of the one person she
truly loved - The one person who was supposed to love and cherish
her. Beatings, emotional cruelty and mental torture had been an
everyday occurrence. This was her life...

Now,
she’s back and so are her memories. With Irish steadfast at her
side to protect her and maintain any residual fight she has left, can
she finally break free of Liam’s hold? What remained of the
fighter, fought to discover how she, at the lowest point of her life,
was a victim.







I
suppose my life could be described as a romance novel itself. Life
has many twists and turns, many forks in the road, and numerous
bumps. But we learn and we grow. 

I am a firm believer
in, 'your life is what you make it', And I am greatful for the two
important people in my life that taught me that approach. May they be
watching me now.

I married my childhood sweetheart, and had he
gifted me with a son...everything has a Happy Ever After, you just
need to believe in it.

Yes, I ramble, and at times it is a
challenge to shut me up.

Apart from the obvious duties in
life, writing is the only thing that I can sit and concentrate on
without contemplating all the other things I should/could be doing.
If I'm not writing...I'm thinking about writing, usually with a
coffee in my hand.

I always start the day with a coffee, and a
motivational quote. It really does help.
