Pixie
"S.F.W." author A.M. Wellman returns with "Pixie", a novel about a couple of weeks in the life of a woman who happens to be in the Federal Witness Protection Program.
As a girl growing up in Ontario, Nela Perkins once captured Canada's attention with her exploits on the hockey rink. However, as she approaches the age of forty, attention is the last thing she seeks. Ten years after cutting a deal with the F.B.I. in order to avoid prison, Nela quietly lives in a trailer somewhere in Florida, her whereabouts unknown not only to the men against whom she testified, but to her own family as well.
With the prospect of another lonely holiday approaching, Nela is already on edge when an ex-lover arrives in Florida with a Trust nobody--and that includes the people she thought were protecting her.
For Nela, it's more than enough to cause a major identity crisis.
Be sure to enjoy the other two books in the "Pixie" trilogy by A.M. Wellman--"Alice" and "Blue Bird", coming soon!

This book has compelling characters woven together with an interesting plot line. It pulled me in and kept me wanting more without feeling anything was deliberately hidden. It is marvelously written, more mature than the earlier S.F.W., and it is a damn shame that no one was willing to publish it. I really don't see what more editors wanted. It doesn't have the epic quality I was so fond of in S.F.W., but it doesn't really belong here. There are some rough edges, but that is what an editor is for and frankly there were more rough edges in S.F.W.. I just don't get it. It's a good story, well written, and has the right kind of action to have a pretty wide appeal. Oh well, I got to read it and I have to be happy with at least that.
