I am celebrating a new release this weekend:
Why Did Bernie Have to Die?
This book is a prequel to my Halo Legacy series.
Watch for special pricing on the entire series!
Here's a short excerpt:
Bernie's heartbeat stuttered
as his old pickup topped the gentle rise of land that marked the boundary of
his grandparents' farm. The burned out remains of the old house slammed
memories as hard as a fist into his gut as he braked to a stop.
The flames licked greedily
up the brick chimney, consuming the tinder dry wood siding, and lighting up the
night sky. Bernie bellowed in helpless rage, dunking himself in the water
trough used for livestock before plunging into the flames and toward the
bedroom his grandparents had shared since their marriage decades earlier.
Fury fueled his strength as
he cradled his grandmother in his arms and carried her outside, then returned
for his grandfather. He laid them side by side on the cool, damp grass,
searching frantically for a pulse. But he knew it was futile. They were already
dead.
Tallie laid her hand over
Bernie's whitened knuckles. Through the sheen of his tears, he saw the mirror
of his sadness in her eyes. He turned his hand over and clasped hers tightly.
