Six Sentence Sunday

I've been busy writing the next Kellie Conley book, Lethal Waters, but I haven't shared many bits of the story. I'll share with you a peek at a few sentences from two more chapters. Each week I'll add a bit from two chapters until the book publishes. Look for the book near the end of September.

Chapter Seven

Amber shuffled through the papers again and read what she’d learn about collecting souls. Maybe there was a quicker way than killing one person at a time.  If there was, how could she be sure she’d catch all the souls? Amber groaned and walked to her desk. She pulled the drawer open and glanced at the glass jars again. Did she have three souls or did she have three empty jars? 

Chapter Eight

Claudia’s gaze shifted to the other side of the room and she stilled. After a few moments, she looked back at Kellie. “Before we discuss the haunting, you need to know a few facts about the soul collector.”

“Haunting?” Taylor mumbled dropping her muffin onto her plate. “Are you talking about two separate entities?”

Chapter Five

Kellie groaned, squinted to see the numbers on her alarm, and reached for the phone.

“Hello,” Kellie bounded out of bed as she listened and answered, “Give me five minutes.”

Max mumbled, “Who was that and what are you doing?”

Kellie, struggling to push her legs into her jeans, said, “It was Taylor. Andrea was attacked on her way into work. Someone tried to strangle her. 

Chapter Six

Kellie caught her uncle’s gaze and took a deep breath. She knew he wouldn’t believe Andrea’s attack was anything but some crazed man terrorizing their town, but if he considered just a fraction of what Andrea said as truth it would turn his world upside down again.

Mike stopped in front of Kellie and stared at her for a moment before he spoke, “I did as I promised. I didn’t yell at Andrea or upset her, but that doesn’t mean I trust all she said as the actual memories of a rational woman. She was traumatized and when the brain is deprived of oxygen for even a few moments, the mind plays tricks.” He stared at Kellie for another minute, nodded, and strode toward the door.
