My Next Book ... The Sanctum

 


Televenge hovers only a month away ... and I'm thrilled to say the least. But I'm already working on the next book. Actually, I thought it was finished in 2010. After a couple rewrites, it has taken on a life of its own. Here is a preview:



Neeley McPherson accidentally killed her parents on her
fifth birthday. Thrown into the care of her scheming and alcoholic grandfather,
she is raised by his elderly farmhand, Gideon, a black man, whom she grows to
love. Neeley turns thirteen during the winter of 1959, and when Gideon is
accused of stealing a watch and using a Whites Only restroom, she
determines to break him out of jail.




The infamous Catfish Cole, Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon of the
Carolinas, pursues Neeley and Gideon in their courageous escape to the frozen
Blue Ridge Mountains. After Gideon’s truck hits ice and careens down a steep
slope, they travel on foot through a blizzard, and arrive at a farm of sorts—a
wolf sanctuary where Neeley crosses the bridge between the real and the
supernatural. It is here she discovers her grandfather’s deception, confronts
the Klan, and uncovers the shocking
secrets of the Cherokee family who befriends her. Giving sanctuary, the
healing power of second chances, and overcoming prejudice entwine, leading
Neeley to tragedy once again but also granting her the desire of her heart.


The Sanctum is a coming-of-age
Southern tale dusted with a bit of magic, and set in a volatile time in
America when the winds of change begin to blow.



Blessings to you and yours!
