I woke up this morning to find my paranormal romance, Into the Dark, has over 10,000 likes on Kindle Vella!

I'm grateful to my readers for following me on this journey.

About Into the Dark...

Trapped in a realm where the dead roam the forest, Allison Reed searches for the truth behind a mystery haunting her small town. Relying on a stranger may be her only chance at survival. Despite the danger, Allison refuses to give up hope of returning home, especially when she finds herself falling for the brooding man who saved her.

Brian Morrissey has long given up hope of escaping this cursed dimension. Living in constant darkness, he knows his time is running out. But when he meets Allison, she brings a glimmer of light into his life. He will do whatever it takes to keep her alive, even if it means sacrificing himself in the process.

As their fight for survival intensifies, Allison and Brian cling to each other and their dwindling hope against all odds. With sinister forces lurking in the shadows, will they sacrifice their love for a chance to escape? Or will they remain forever trapped in a nightmarish world where the dead hunt the living?

Into the Dark is now available on two platforms!

Highwaymen

Nothing could shock me more than being accosted by highwaymen on our way home from a neighbor's house party.

My dear husband, Charles, looked as stunned as I when the first shouts of alarm broke the monotonous silence that had stretched between us. It had been a long and tiring evening spent under his sister's ever-present glare, and I had been thankful such an event had ended.

I never imagined my night was far from over.

After the initial shouts from our driver, the carriage sped up, rocking us side to side with each bump in the road. I dared hope we might outrun them, but after a few pistol shots, our carriage slowed its pace, coming to a stop. The door flung open with a violence that left me trembling.

Charles held tight to my hand, and I returned his grip. What did these demons want? Money? Jewels? They could have the entire carriage if they so desired, but I prayed they would bring us no harm. Every horror story or bit of gossip I'd ever been exposed to rushed through my mind with the speed of a falling star. I barely breathed for fear of another story being added to that growing list.

This time ours.

A pistol presented itself within inches of my nose, the moonlight glistening off the polished metal. I stared into the barrel, watching the man's finger twitching on the trigger, pulling it back. Oh, so slowly.

"Take what you want." Charles's deep voice boomed above my ear. "Leave my wife be, and you may have all that you wish."

A lusty laugh emerged from the darkness of the night. I failed to see our robber's face, for a handkerchief masked his features, but the stale odor of ale and onions hovered around him like a musty cloud.

"It's your lady wife I've come fer, yer lordship."

March For the Love of Reading 2023 #Giveaway Hop! #ReadMoreBooks #Reading #BTEvents

Read Across America Week runs from March 2-6 this year. It begins on Dr. Suess' birthday, but the entire month of March is dedicated to reading.

Why is reading so important?

Well, according to Healthline.com, reading improves brain performance, reduces stress, aids in sleep, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, helps fight depression, increases the ability to empathize with other people, increases your vocabulary and comprehension, and could help you live longer!

With so many benefits, why wouldn't you want to read more?

As an avid reader, I read all year long. Since I was a child, I've been reading anything I can get my hands on. Not only am I a reader, but I worked in a bookstore for several years, and I'm also an author. I'm not kidding when I say reading is my life! :)

And since I love book recommendations, I thought I'd share a few with you!
