Book Description:

After twenty years in the Marine Corps, Major Frank Cutlip comes home to the quiet hills of his beloved Pennsylvania to take up a new life as the sheriff of Allegheny County.

Professor Beth Lowe took up a post at Paxton University because she became enamored with western Pennsylvania’s charms, a more enduring love than she thought she would ever feel for a man.

When Beth’s dog is savaged by wolves, their peaceful lives are shattered, and their fates entwined. On the brink of death, the dog not only survives but grows larger… and more vicious. A thousand-year cycle of carnage is reaching its climax once more, and the peaceful wooded hills will soon be smeared with blood.

Sheriff Cutlip leads his community in a hunt for the hidden terror, but then his own brother is bitten, his blood corrupted by the ancient evil. The sheriff must confront terrible choices, and he can’t do so alone.

‘The Clearing’ — a novel of ordinary people thrown together in extraordinary circumstances.

Chapter One

It wasn’t anywhere near noon, and Beth Lowe already had a sneaking suspicion her day was about to go down the drain. The odor of urine and feces was enough to make her eyes water, and the barking dogs around her created a din that was overwhelming. Trying to ignore the yips and howls, she watched Lizzie as she tried to coax the biggest dog Beth had ever seen to the front of his pen.

“C’mon! C’mere, boy! Come onnnnnnn—nobody’s going to hurt you.” Dejected, Lizzie turned away and trudged back along the cage-lined aisle, oblivious to the bedlam on either side of her.

“Never mind, honey,” Beth soothed, “we have a lot of other dogs to choose from. Let’s keeping looking.”

Glancing around, Lizzie spotted the big dog peeking around the corner of his cage. “Look! He wants us to come back!” Continue Reading

I had some unforeseen things happen at work, and a very sad occasion on the personal side, to boot. Between the two, I wasn’t able to prepare my author interview for Milly Taiden. My deepest apologies. I am simply going to set my schedule back one day so it looks like this now:

Wednesday, Jan. 30 - Milly Taiden

Thur., Jan. 31 - Carol “Pixie” Brearley

Friday, Feb. 1  - Dianne Harman

 


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAMeet Carol Brearly…

 

Carol “Pixie” Brearley was born in Florida, raised in Brooklyn/Queens NY, and moved to upstate NY in her early teens where she now resides with her family and cats in their inner city home.

 

When Pixie is not being a mom, wife, housekeeper, cook, and writer, she spends her free time reading, doing assorted crafts and gardening. She is also a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval recreation group.

 

After getting a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, she looked into the workforce but was highly disappointed by the lack of available jobs. Deciding to be a stay-at-home mother of three, she chose family over career and does not regret a moment of it, because it allowed her to bring The Dark Angel Trilogy to life.

Carol, like many of us, is having a hard time marketing her debut novel “Rise of the Dark Angel” – the few reviews it’s received have all been 5-star.

Please repost this for me, and help Carol get her name out there a bit…I’d appreciate it very much :)
