I started a novel five years ago, and the genre is a
departure for me. Most of my books are uplifting, happy, and funny. Sarah, the
haphazard angel, keeps one in stitches as she goes about Earth trying to help
people.
Besides my Sarah Series, I wrote two historical novels and they make one think about cultural changes.
All my books are Christian.
I decided to try my hand at something different. So, this
novel is about a lady seeking revenge. She plans to kill a man she hates.
Here's an excerpt.
After
the funeral, her parents urged her to live with them. Toby’s parents in Florida
had offered their home, too, and that was generous of them, she reasoned, but
it wasn’t possible. Murder required careful preparation, and she couldn’t
scheme with family around. They’d badger her with their good intentions, but
they’d be in her way. Besides, she didn’t want law enforcement inquiries traced
back to them. Arrangements for murder took careful thought. Living Colorado gave her the opportunity to search for the men she hated. If they
were still in the area, she’d find them. If they lived elsewhere, she’d go
wherever they were. And kill them—one-by-one, but she’d make them suffer first.
Revenge
was a hell burning insider her again, and the desire to payback grew to inferno
proportions. After she evened the score with those devils, she’d start a new
life. Far away from this one. But not until she saw them die for what they’d
done.
And here’s another thing. Can I write a clean book without
it being Christian? The paragraph above doesn't sound Christian.
I’m not sure I can write this, but it is a good story.
Stay tuned.
