Hi,

pre-release teaser tour. I’m discussing my new paranormal mystery Waking Up Dead. It’s forthcoming from
Solstice Publishing and available via Amazon on October 8, and I’m pretty
excited!

When Dallas resident Callie Taylor died young, she expected to go to Heaven, or maybe Hell. Instead, she met her fate early thanks to a creep with a knife and a mommy complex. Now she's witnessed another murder, and she's not about to let this one go. She's determined to help solve it before an innocent man goes to prison. And to answer the biggest question of all: why the hell did she wake up in Alabama?

Excerpt
Someone
called the manager, and pretty soon there was a small crowd around her. She
woke up blearily, looking around at all of the faces surrounding her.
“What
happened?” the manager asked her as he helped her to her feet.
“There
was this woman,” she began, shaking her head. Then she saw me, leaning in over
all the other people around her--easy enough to do if you can float up three or
four feet off the ground.
“That
one,” she said frantically, pointing at me. The people between us stared around
at one another.
“Which
one?” asked the manager. “What did she do?”
The
woman pointed at me again. “That one. The white woman. In the black jacket.”
Again,
everyone looked around expectantly.
Finally,
the manager placed his hand on her back and leaned in close to her. “Honey,
there’s no white woman in a black jacket here. Are you sure you’re okay?”
The
woman looked from him to me and back again. “You don’t see her standing there.”
He
shook his head. “No. I don’t. Is there anyone you want me to call for you?”
She
stepped away from him. “No. No, thanks. I’ll be fine.” She pulled her purse out
of her basket and moved away, never taking her eyes off me or turning her back
on me.
She
hit the parking lot at a run. I moved right beside her, talking the whole time.
“Look,”
I said. “I’m not going to hurt you. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just need
help.”
The
woman was muttering under her breath, and after a minute, I realized that she
was praying.
This
was awful.
