FOR THE GARDEN

by Lisa Slater

Romance

Years ago, the unimaginable murder of eleven-year-old Samuella Rose left Sarina Rose, her twin sister, in a downward spiral and plagued by nightmares. Fifteen years later - the case still wide open - the only way she has managed to keep her head above water is due to her attractive massage therapist, Duane Whitson, who she bat ... tles to keep at a distance, and Clyde Small, the detective who has never given up on combing every lead in search for justice. However, it’s her unlikely roommate, Becky Bracken, that introduces her to dream interpretation. But that’s not where the interpretation stops. A cold shiver covered Becky’s arms and legs with goosebumps. This was beyond superstition or hoaxes. This was actually happening. Graver still, she suspected, Sarina had no idea. Could Samuella really be communicating over the gap of death, beseeching for justice? Or is Sarina losing her grip on reality? Either way, finding the killer was worth the risk, but if she succeeded would anyone believe her? What did she have to lose? Just her sanity. Maybe her life. www.slaterlife.com read more

Women's Fiction

For Linus “Doc” Winehouse, the mission had begun much like any other mission for combat soldiers serving in Afghanistan. A routine search for a weapons cache. However, it would not remain so. Countless Taliban forces trap Doc’s squad in the deadliest battle they had ever experienced. Fighting alongside his brothers in combat, ... Doc wills himself through the most desperate of conditions for one objective, to keep them alive. Stateside, ten-year-old Carston Thomas lives in an apartment situated on top of a small store like a top hat. He has a heart for helping the homeless and dreams of becoming a mountain climber, both of which his mama, Chloe Thomas, greatly disapproves. If Chloe’s volatile past had taught her anything it’s that the innocent is hurt and consumed right alongside the foolish. She couldn’t allow that to happen to her son – any more than it already had. When Carston and Doc’s paths cross one day at the park, something in Doc’s troubled spirit from Afghanistan begins to shift. The torturous effects complicate Doc’s muddled plan to serve out the remainder of his life, however long that will be, in misery and self-sabotage. Carston is a constant and unrelenting annoyance. But when crime and gang activity threaten the boy’s front doorstep, Doc is not one to stand idly by. Facing his own demons had brought on a death-like suffering, but facing Carston and Chloe’s as well could be enough to finish him off. Or it could give him a friendship worth living for. read more
