A Two-Hour Novella

Laynie & Trace were best friends until tragedy struck, then they were split apart. His family moved away.

Why was he here, in her new life, after all this time?

Then I moved on to Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Mary Higgins Clark. Oh, and Jeffrey Deaver. His Lincoln Rhyme novels are packed with suspense.

Thanks for asking. I still have so much to learn about this game of novel writing!(less)
