Blurb for Summer’s
Growth.
In the spirit-haunted
Winston estate in Ohio, rooted in time and occupied by the lingering ghosts of
a great family, the torch is about to pass...
Mattie Winston, sober,
sensible, and steady, has served as Keeper to the family for decades. Amber
Harrison, hovering on the edge of flunking out of college, unsure what she
wants out of life, has barely even heard of the Winston estate. The family,
however, has decided that it's time for the changing of the guard. These two
exceptional women soon find themselves dealing with violence, murder attempts,
and old family mysteries while each finding the love of her life. Two romances
and a growing friendship, all twined around a brooding family tragedy, make for
an outstanding paranormal mystery offering depth and charm beyond the
commonplace. The growing love of Amber and Carter and of Mattie and Quincy
offer readers a tender and engaging first novel in a winning new paranormal
series.
Excerpt:
Was she insane? Why agree to spend time at a place
she’d never been before with people she didn’t know?
Fear and eagerness warred in her stomach. Breathing
rapidly, she inhaled the scent of her peppermint gum. The crisp fragrance reminded
her of her grandfather’s breath mints, and she took another deep breath to calm
her shaky nerves.
Past the point of no return, even if the adventure
ended up to be a free trip to nowhere. Whatever happened she’d see it through.
The soft leather seat cooled her skin. Tired from
her long trip to Ohio, she leaned her head on the plush headrest. She used the
relaxing motion of the car to recover some of her energy and turned her head to
view the landscape outside the car.
Different from Southern California, no lollypop
trees or car-packed freeways met her gaze. The road supported only a few cars
moving along at a steady pace. Calm pastureland lined the highway with
wildflowers dancing in the wind. Large limbs darting in every possible
direction, small leaves announced spring to the world with their bright green
foliage. No structures marred the view or broke the serene pleasure of the
unencumbered land.
Yet, they’d only left the airport a few minutes ago.
Her mind wandered to the place where they were headed.
She shot her silent driver a quick glance. She’d questioned the portly old
gentleman about Winston Manor when she’d first arrived. He’d said they needed
to get going and refused to comment beyond that.
Once in the car, she’d tried again. Her blue eyes
caught his in the rear view mirror, and he assessed her value before glancing
away.
Amber brushed her long, blonde hair back off her
shoulder and tugged on her cotton tee shirt to straighten out the wrinkles.
“How long until we arrive at Winston Manor?” she
asked.
He didn’t respond, almost as if he hadn’t heard.
Unwilling to be rude, she decided to settle back in her seat.
The answers would come once she arrived at Winston
Manor.
