Good morning warrior friends. This week I decided to give you a taste of what you will find in Liliana book one. “Liliana” is a suspense filled romance, but the goal I had in writing it was to really make the reader feel as though they were one with the character. I am positive this book will hook you. As for me, it’s been a cold-cold week in Chicago, hard to believe we were in the 80’s last weekend, hopefully this is not a taste of what’s going to come for us this winter! Yikes! It’s 48 degrees currently and I’m sure it was even colder last night. Hope everyone else is warm in their neck of the woods. 🙂 And now… introducing Liliana:
******************************************************************************************
“No!” I screamed in disbelief.
I tried to call out for help but grasped my throat instead as no words would come out. Tears flooded my face. The man turned the gun on me, but for whatever reason decided not to shoot. I thought that maybe it was because he realized how young I was. I clutched the door handle as if it would save me, the same way I did when my mother was cutting through traffic in the morning rush hour. I looked up and saw a person’s head quickly move back from a window of an apartment building at the corner of the block.

Chilling scene!! You pulled me right in and I want to know why he didn’t shoo either, and if she’ll still make it out of this situation unharmed.

It’s been crazy cold in my neck of the woods too, but that’s par for the course in Canada. 😉 Love the intensity of this scene and the descriptions throughout, especially the door handle gripping. Great job!
