I'm pleased to give you some information about my twelfth novel that is scheduled to come out spring of 2010. I've finished it but am tweaking it before handing it in to the publisher.
My third novel with Faithwords/Hachette will be titled Broken. The following is an overview of the story:
Laila grew up in a world most people dream about. She had a loving family, wealth, and faith in God. But disillusionment with her faith along with the promise of fame and fortune send her from the heartland of Texas to New York City. When her dreams crumble, Laila finds herself living an empty, dangerous life as a call girl in Chicago.
One night on the job, Laila finds herself in a precarious position and shoots a client in the chest in self-defense, killing him and sending Laila into a spiral of guilt and emptiness. Six months later, Laila is trying to move on--repairing her life and going to church--but she's haunted by the past. She hasn't told anyone about the man she killed, and she's still estranged from her family.
When she is approached by a stranger who says he knows what she did, Laila has no choice but to run. But the stranger stays close behind, and Laila begins having visions of the man she killed.
Little does she know that she's being hounded by something else, something not of this world, something that knows her deepest and darkest secret.
Scared and wandering, will Laila regain her trust in God to protect her from these demons? Or will her plea for salvation come too late?Labels: story overviews
