Excerpt of Marked by Grief

The excerpt of my new book, Marked by Grief, is up on Silver Publishing's site. Meet Jason and Kit on Saturday the 8th.

Here's a sneak peak-

"Coming up in the six o'clock news--Wade Ramsey, the man sentenced to twenty-five years in the DUI and vehicular manslaughter case last week commits suicide in jail just days before he's scheduled to be transferred to prison... Up next, Rickie with what's new in Hollywood!"

Kit turned off the television with an angry snarl. He supposed he should be happy the man responsible for his brother's death was dead. But he'd taken the coward's way out like Kit expected he might. While the court had been watching the prosecutor as he'd flashed images of Bear, finalizing his image as the "All-American Boy Next Door" in the minds of the jurors, Kit had been watching the man who had been too stupid to realize he'd been drunk that night. And he'd seen the regret in that haggard face. But Kit hadn't cared. He remembered being glad the man who had murdered his brother was suffering. Six months to the day of the accident, the sentence had been announced. The man would rot for twenty-five years. Bear was only twenty-four on the night they'd been hit from behind as they walked home. And Kit had held onto that anger, clutching it tightly to his chest, for six whole months. He'd breathed in the hatred, living on it when food lost all meaning, when sleep was just a nightmarish string of flashbacks. And he could have existed on it for years to come. Twenty-five to be precise. But the coward had stolen that from him as well.
