Excerpt
Her husband stomped away in a huff. His damp
clothes accentuated his fit body. The many nights he’d spent lately at the gym
had firmed and toned his already-sexy body into a dream machine. Yeah, and
all those other women ogling him. Too bad the gym didn’t do more for his
attitude. I heard his comment. Why does he always have to push my buttons? He
really shouldn’t have expected me to go walking, looking for…. She
shivered. What if there were bodies? I wonder if anyone else survived the
crash. I’ve got better things to do. Maybe I’ll find out this island is really
a resort like in that romance novel I read. Then I can save the day.
She picked up Gris and gave him a kiss on the
nose. “Little man, you’d never get mad at me. Let’s go find ourselves the
perfect place to rest. Maybe we can prove to that man I’m capable.” With the
dog settled in her arms, Keira headed inland, away from the beach and toward
the jungle.
Trees filled her vision. Their dense foliage
provided shelter and had allowed moss to cover the ground. She welcomed the
softness under her feet. She noticed the drop in temperature as well. The
blistering sun from the beach dappled through the leaves and created a cool,
welcoming environment. The sound of birds and other animals teased her hearing.
She paused and inhaled. A flowery fragrance filled the air.
The trees are so thick, I can’t
see more than five feet in front of me. I hope there aren’t any snakes. Her stomach knotted. Snakes
or lack of food? She pulled Gris closer to her, absently running her
fingers through his fur. I’m sure there’s no coffee joint or five-star hotel
around here. I would’ve seen something before now. Rats. I was really hoping
for the happy ending of a romance novel.

For my wedding in Vegas, my books
and computer came with me but there wasn't enough room for my wedding shoes.
It’s all about priorities! As an avid reader, I was probably born with a book
in hand. Luckily my mom was also an avid reader, so it was easy to
"borrow" her books when my books were finished.
I was reading from an early age
about dashing men on horseback riding to the rescue of strong willed and
capable women who didn't really need rescuing. I came to expect that women in
fairy tales should have fought their own battles. When I was older, I found
Margaret Atwood and realized that women could re-tell history in their own way
and I experimented with changing those basic fairy tales.
Fortunately for me, my husband
allows me the opportunity to be myself (spend my salary on books) and still
takes care of the really important things for me like killing spiders and
opening jars. As an elementary teacher, teaching children about the many worlds
inside of books is a gift that I’m lucky enough to do for a living. Teaching
the next generation to love reading is a lot of fun! Reading the right book can
make a new world come alive!
Currently living in the suburbs
of Ann Arbor, Michigan with my darling husband, way-too-grown-up children and
spoiled dogs, I enjoy getting away through a book to escape the harsh winters
or summer road construction.
I’d love to hear from you!
