THE WALLS By Hollie Overton
What if you could get away with murder?Single mom Kristy Tucker works as a press agent for the Texas Department of Corrections -- handling everything on death row from inmate interviews to chronicling the last moments during an execution. Her job exposes Kristy to the worst of humanity, and it's one that's beginning to take its toll.
So when Kristy meets Lance Dobson, her son's martial arts instructor, she believes she has finally found her happy ending. She's wrong.
Kristy soon discovers that Lance is a monster. Forced to endure his verbal and physical abuse, Kristy is serving her own life sentence...unless she's willing to take matters into her hands. Perfectly poised to exploit the criminal justice system she knows so well, Kristy sets out to get rid of Lance -- permanently.
The Walls explores domestic violence, the morality of murder, and how far one woman will go to protect her family.
PAMELA CRANE
Pamela Crane is a professional juggler. Not the type of juggler who can toss flaming
torches in the air, but a juggler of four kids, a writing addiction, a horse
rescuer, and a book editor by trade. She lives on the edge (ask her Arabian
horse about that—he’ll tell you all about their wild adventures while trying to
train him!) and she writes on the edge. Her characters and plots are her escape
from the real world of dirty diapers and cleaning horse stalls, and she thrives
off of an entertaining tale. Visit her at www.pamelacrane.com.
THE ART OF FEAR by Pamela Crane
A life no girl should endure. A
father no daughter could love. A twist no one would predict.
From award-winning author Pamela
Crane comes a terrifying tale of small-town secrets and murder.
Ari Wilburn’s life ended long
ago—the day she watched her little sister die in a tragic accident and did
nothing to stop it. Crippled with self-blame and resented by her parents, she
stumbles through life … and onto an unexpected clue that casts doubt on whether
the death was accidental.
Now a psychological wreck, Ari joins
a suicide support group where she meets Tina, a sex-enslaved escapee who finds
her long-lost father dead. Suicide, police ruled it. But Tina suspects foul
play. As a bond develops between the women in their shared loss, they’re
dragged into playing a dangerous game with a killer.
Faced with a murderous wake-up call
and two possibly linked deaths, Ari’s investigation puts her next on the
killer’s list. But she’s never been one to back down from a fight.
Needing closure, Ari must face her
demons and the killer behind them … or lose everything she loves.
JL DELOZIER
Dr. Jennifer Delozier submitted her
first story, handwritten in pencil on
lined school paper, to Isaac in six years,
which was followed by the blur of
internship, residency, and the launch
of her medical career. But she never
forgot her first love.Asimov's magazine while still in junior high school. Several years later, she took a creative writing elective at Penn State University and was hooked. She received her BS and MD degrees
When she sat down to write her debut thriller, she spent some time rediscovering her favorite physician writers. From the deductive reasoning of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the cutting edge science of Michael Crichton, she remains inspired by facts that lie on the edge of reality: bizarre medical anomalies, new genetic discoveries and so on. These form the backbone of Type & Cross.
STORM SHELTER by JL Delozier
Dr. Persephone Smith is a
psychologist with a genetic gift. Her enhanced empathy
allows her to feel on a primal level the emotions of
others, which helps with her job as a counselor for the
Dept. of Veterans Affairs. But Seph’s gift comes with a
price. Plagued by nightmares and insecure in her work,
she absorbs the suffering of her patients by day and
swills tequila by night.When Seph is deployed to an abandoned air hangar turned medical shelter during a massive hurricane, her worst nightmares come true. One by one, as the wind howls overhead, staff and evacuees disappear into the dark recesses of the vast space. The missing return as mutilated corpses. The living, trapped in the shrieking metal structure by the storm, descend into varying levels of paranoia and even madness. Seph must become both counselor and detective to determine who, or what, is calling them prey. Is the panic and mayhem just “shelter shock,” as the lead physician, Anne Parrish, insists? Or is everyone, Seph included, in danger of losing their minds—and their lives?
