The Clearing

 

It’s about to strike midnight, bringing in the year 2013, and I sit here sipping a beer and contemplating the last few months. I know that’s a natural thing to do, but yet this year is even more remarkable than most. I started a blog, made several hundred friends, and now sit on the brink of publishing my debut novel. As the new year peeks around the corner, I can’t help but wonder what new fascinating things await. How astonishing it is that at age 55 there are still new frontiers to broach, new experiences to cherish, and fresh worlds to conquer.

This holiday season has been perfect. Seen some family, enjoyed some much needed down time, laughed and relaxed and played.

Now, with the dawn of the new year, the holidays fade to glittering memories, and a task looms large.

The Clearing is coming…

Happy New Year, one and all – it’s time to rock ‘n roll…

Book Description:

Josie spent twenty years as a battered wife, dying for a hero.
Now, she’s dying to become one…

Josie Kane is a “difficult” woman, a pure enigma – one who survives her abusive husband by honing her unnerving talent for playing mind games: she knows exactly how to manipulate a bully.
Finally divorced, she thinks the abuse is over, and she’s free. She’s wrong. And her cynicism is building.
Josie works with battered women, trying to rescue them from a fate similar to hers. But on the night that yet another battered woman is murdered by her husband, pining for a hero as she dies in Josie’s arms, her cynicism becomes a quiet, simmering hatred.
Her one remaining refuge is in her bond with Maxine and Samantha, the two friends whom she loves like sisters. When Samantha becomes pregnant by Jack – an abuser who makes known his intentions to use the baby as a weapon of control – Josie’s hatred ripens to a vengeful fury.

She sets out to take on one more batterer, manipulate one more bully… And she lures Jack into the crosshairs of the ultimate mind game.

Her friends are convinced that she intends to rid Samantha of Jack. They’re right.
But with Josie Kane, as always, there’s a twist.

With her friends helpless to stop her – and with Samantha hanging in the balance – Josie squares off with Jack in a life-and-death, winner-lose-all battle of wits to determine which side will win Sammy’s future.
And this time, there will be a hero.

Excerpt

Why is she pushing me away? Do I repulse her? I have never had a chica react like this. What’s wrong, thinks Ricky.

Ricky is in a hurry getting out of his carro, damn it I’m almost out of time. We have a meeting with the new client and I have to make sure that the contracts are correct before I turn them over for Jose Enrique’s review. Si I hate running behind schedule and I’m always on it. I don’t usually arrive so early at the office, thinks Ricky grabbing his portfolio from his carro. 
Ricky strides into the hall to get the elevator, missing it, watching the doors close. He stops in shock, damn it, that’s the hermosa muneca from yesterday, thinks Ricky standing, watching her just before the doors close. 
Wow, I totally missed an opportunity to talk to the muneca. How can I get to know her? I know that she recognizes me. She is looking at me with shock. Yeah, she didn’t expect to see me and I sure as hell didn’t expect to see her. I need to talk to her outside of the building. I don’t want to cause any issues with la familia’s company employees, ponders Ricky impatiently waiting for the elevator to come down. I know that she works here, but a lot of good that does me. My body won’t calm down, I’m totally awake now. I don’t know what it is about her that provokes these amazing overwhelming reactions.
