The Beginning

Current Friends and Future Friends | Novel Preview

Hello all and welcome. This blog is going to be a preview of my new mystery novel In 3 Days | N3D. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have writing the story.

For those of you who know me, you may recall that I wrote and published my first novel The Man Who Went to Heaven in 2001. It has been a while since I've embarked on another novel, but I feel like I cannot keep the stories inside any longer. So, here we go...

The book is not completed as of yet, but I wanted to start getting feedback on it. That's where you come into play (please and thank you in advance). 

Here are the rules of the game:

1) Author will post a chapter a month (only first 3)

2) Readers will comment on post(s)

3) Most constructive and engaging readers will be written into book as a minor character

Sound like fun? 

For those of you who like to read the synopsis before you pick up the book, this is for you:

The perfect crime is sometimes the one committed right under your nose. . .

In rural Lucky, Texas, a small town between Fort Worth and Weatherford, the Gibson family has just come into a large sum of money. They quickly become the newest multi-millionaires and overnight town celebrities. A rare baseball card that had been in their family for years has been auctioned off and the money now sits in their bank account.

Late one night, while they are asleep, a gunshot is heard and then the shrieking screams of a distressed woman. Finding the woman on their land half naked and bleeding, they invite her into their home. In shock from some traumatic event, the woman cannot speak and refuses to leave Mrs. Gibson’s side. Along with the sheriff and local doctor, the Gibson family tries to help her and find out who is chasing her. A tattoo on her back reads Priceless. That’s what they call her. They will soon find she’s not what she seems. Nothing in their life will ever be the same.   

Meanwhile, four hours down the highway in San Antonio, Doug Diesel is investigating a similar case. A rural family who came into a lot of money has been robbed by a woman pretending not to be able to speak. She’s disappeared without a trace along with their money. The FBI and local police have just figured out she had help. They realize they are now tracking a cold-blooded killer and a thief.

As the two cases collide and time is running out, all agencies must work together to find the killer and put a stop to the crime spree. Everything is unfolding fast. It’s all taking place…in three days.
