Book 3 Update and Sneak Peek
Hello my patient followers and readers! I appreciate your understanding as I have gotten myself back together. I know there are still difficult milestones for my family and I ahead this year, but I think I have turned a small corner.
I have returned to revising book 3, which is still in its early stages. It is slow progress, but progress nonetheless. This brings me to the fulfillment of a promise I made - another peek at the newest book. Be warned -it is a little dark. Hope you enjoy the teaser!
I rolled down my sleeve again and then thoughtfully pointed the sharp end of the wood at my chest. I was so tired. Weary of the fighting, of the mistrust, the isolation. I had no help, all of my desperate prayers and pleas for help and forgiveness has been met with silence, both by the people here, as well as by the God I had known and worshipped while human.
Looking down, I debated shoving it in. Before I could make a decision, I caught a glimpse of someone with black hair standing by the far wall. “Oh, Lord, Gregory, will you just leave me alone already?! I swear if you do not go away, I’m going to use this –” I said as I turned towards the person. I broke off in mid-sentence and whispered, “Kali?”
The person who was standing by the wall wasn’t Gregory. It was a young woman who was about Kali’s age, but it was not her as I first thought. This girl’s eyes were a beautiful shade of blue-green, not gray. She wore a lovely white dress. “Who are you?” I asked in confusion. “How did you get in here?”
She pointed at the wood I held, shook her head, and suddenly disappeared. I dropped it and jumped backwards with a startled scream, nearly falling off the bed.
“Julia? Are you all right?” Mary Anne called from down the hall.
I stared at the spot where the young woman had stood. I was equally surprised by Mary Anne’s inquiry. I do not remember the last time someone had checked in on me. “Yes,” I managed to call back. “I’m fine. I – I was just dreaming. Do not worry.”
After a second, I took a shaky breath and got up. I re-hid the piece of wood and glanced back to where the girl had stood. For some reason she seemed vaguely familiar but I had no idea who she was. Nor did I have any idea why she appeared to me the way she had. She had startled me at first, but now I realized I hadn’t felt any fear or anxiety when I realized it was her and not Gregory.
Shaking my head, I wondered if I should be worried. The young lady I saw clearly was not really here. Was my sanity failing yet again?
