Anna's Visions (29 page)

****

Tom Morgan had laid his beloved Anna to rest in the
Morgan graveyard, right next to their son.

He took flowers to her grave every day and as he ran
his calloused hand over her tombstone, he said, “Rest in peace, my sweet Anna.”

One day, he wiped away his tears, rested his hand on
the marker, and spoke different words. “This stone isn’t a symbol of death.
It’s a symbol of life, love, victory, truth, and understanding. Thank you,
Anna, for the best fifty-seven years a man could ever hope for. I love you,
your family loves you, and we’ll never forget you. I promise.”

Six months later, Thomas Eugene Morgan joined Anna in
a place that knows no parting – and as his family stood around his bedside just
before the end, he opened his eyes, looked straight ahead, and said with a
smile, “Anna, I’ll be along directly.”

ALEX

Dianne Hartsock

Alex is twenty and confused.  He always is.  The world presses
on him with its horrors and pain, with scintillating auras that pierce his eyes
and drive the migraines deeper. He hears the cries of children, the
screaming women. He sees the brutal images of the tortured victims. He
feels out of control and his mind slips...

Severely abused as a child, he is left with horrible scars on his body
and even worse scars within his mind. Even though it puts him in danger,
he’s compelled to help those who call to him. He’s driven, motivated by his
visions to rescue them and uncover the killer. When he can, he helps the
police; yet some detectives suspect he’s the cause of the problem, not the
solution. Often, Alex finds himself alone and afraid in a world he doesn’t
always comprehend. 

“Dianne Hartsock does an impressive job
juggling the torture Alex endured as a child, the state of his mind as an
adult, and the encroaching thoughts of the missing victims. One wants to know
who's causing the disappearances. Can it be Alex? Not even he knows. The
suspense is tight as he tries to hold onto sanity in the face of all that
barrages him. With the help of his love interest Jane, and their good friends
Justin and Angie, Alex realizes he isn't alone. The great characters Dianne has
created bring a strong sense of reality to her work. By the end of the novel, I
felt as if I knew these people and miss them.”

DEATH IS ANOTHER LIFE

Robert Morton

Where there is
light, there is shadow…

This cross-genre thriller is set in present-day Malta and has echoes
from pre-history and also the eighteenth century Knights of Malta.

Malta may be an island of sun and sand, but there’s a dark side to it
too. It all started when some fishermen pulled a corpse out of the sea... Or
maybe it was five years ago, in the cave of Ghar Dalam?

Spellman, an American black magician, has designs on a handpicked bunch
of Maltese politicians, bending their will to his master’s. A few sacrifices,
that’s all it takes. And he’s helped by Zondadari, a rather nasty vampire.

Maltese-American investigative journalist Maria Caruana’s in denial. She
can’t believe Count Zondadari is a vampire. She won’t admit it. Such creatures
don’t exist, surely? She won’t admit she’s in love with him, either...

Detective Sergeant Attard doesn’t like caves or anything remotely
supernatural.

Now he teams up with Maria to unravel the mysterious disappearance of
young pregnant women. They’re helped by the priest, Father Joseph.

And there are caves, supernatural deaths and a haunting exorcism.

Just what every island holiday needs, really.

“Dan Brown meets Dracula. Robert Morton's
Death is
Another
Life
is a fast paced, intelligent read that kept
my pulse pounding until the last page. Vampires are certainly enjoying a
revival, but Morton's take is entirely fresh, certainly not like those so
overdone today.
 
Once I started this, I
couldn’t put it down.”

THE MORTICIAN’S WIFE

Maralee Lowder

Emily’s special “gift” told her two things that Halloween night, so long
ago. The first was that the story she heard about Ada, the old lady who lived
above the old mortuary, being a witch was definitely not true. The second was
that the scary story about the mortuary being haunted definitely
was
true.

The old lady was actually quite nice. The ghost, on the other hand, was
not nice at all.

Now, Emily returns after many years away from her childhood home. She’s
a registered nurse and is unexpectedly hired as Ada’s carer.

Ada is a complete recluse and at first resists Emily’s gentle intrusion
into her life. Yet, gradually, their old friendship, forged so many years
before, helps break down Ada’s reticence.

Finally, Ada tells Emily the story of her life. It’s a sad story, filled
with pain and horrible secrets and, as it unfolds, Emily is forced to make a
terrible decision…
 

Maralee Lowder's
Mortician's Wife
is an engrossing psychological tale. Her easy to read style takes the reader on
a thought-provoking journey. Realistic characters jump from the pages,

is a highly recommended
must read
novel.

World War I,
His First Mistake
traces the intersection of disparate
lives during war.

…
has
got to be
one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve read in a long time. I found myself
wanting to hate some of the characters along the way, only to find myself
loving them even more as their lives took them through World War I and into the
beginning of World War II. Ladies...this is a must-read book.

STRUMMIN’ THE BANJO MOON

Joyce Keller Walsh

Nineteen year-old Juanna Mae DelRio Lottery was abandoned by her husband
and foreclosed out of her house in South Jersey.  Left without any
resources except for an old Buick, $264, and her own grit, she and Dell—her
five-year-old daughter—moved their belongings into the car and drove to a
secluded spot deep in the pinewoods.
 
Juanna planned to stay there until she saved enough travel money to go
home to her mother in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.
 
But she made a mistake by applying for food
stamps and now they have to leave right away because the Social Service is
about to swoop down and take Dell into foster care . . . and if Juanna hadn’t
lied about her age, they might even take her, too.
 

She should have known better, for as her mother always says, “The road
to hell is paved with government intentions.”

Like Huckleberry Finn’s adventures on the river, Juanna’s adventures on
the road thrust her into a world of oddball characters and precarious
situations.

Her humorous, moving, and sometimes tragic journey spans thirty years
and two continents, and often tests her belief that everything that happens has
a purpose and a moral.
 

Over the years, I’ve read many books of fiction, the vast majority good
and memorable; and some of these have given me glimpses of the human condition.

A few have introduced me to characters who live and breathe, whose journey
becomes mine, albeit vicariously.

Juanna Mae DelRio’s narrative pulled me in and didn’t want me to let go.
Through the years of her tumultuous life, I was there, sharing her heartbreaks
and laughter. This is a powerful novel, a fascinating emotional roller-coaster
that made me laugh and cry.

HEAR HIM CRY

Rachel Beam

A Solstice
After
Dark novel

Tessa: “I hate it when men cry.

I swear to Christ I’ll jump out the freaking window if I see you cry.”

Henry: “Good thing we’re only on the second floor then.”

Henry and Tessa are like two damaged planets, gravitating toward each
other on a collision course.
Henry’s fifty-eight, a
remorseful man whose life crumbled after a stupid misjudgment fifteen years
ago.
Tessa is the daughter of Henry’s estranged best friend and she’s
wasted ten years of her youth with a man who didn’t really want to grow up.

Hurting and bereft, the pair
cling
to each
other, lost in the universe of sharp hurtful reality. Henry realizes that he
can’t begin again with Tessa until he reveals his shameful secret. Yet, in the
simple act of telling her, he risks losing her.

The past begins to unfold with raw, painful consequences.

When you’re ready for a book with a little meat on its
bones, this is one you’ll want to pick up. It’s the kind of dark, deep and
twisted tale that draws you in and stays with you long after you’ve finished
it. Bonus if you’re a fan of the Florida Keys...the author’s detail of its
historic streets and bars paints a vivid picture. This is a book that reveals
the sad longing and unspoken fantasies that many others don’t dare to. Not for
the faint of heart...you’ve been warned. Highly recommend.

– Review by
Biba, Solstice website

The Author weaves a dark and sensual tale,
which is mesmerizing. After downloading this book on my Kindle, after a
friend’s recommendation, I could not put it down. Each chapter beautifully
flows into the next... The author’s writing style was very lucid, descriptive
and eloquent. The flashbacks were clearly linked with the present (unlike some
books) and I was easily able to visualize each scene and each character.
I would highly recommend this book.
