Beached Girl by Sara Owens

Anna awoke on a desolate beach in a haze, the sand having long since encrusted on her sunburnt lips. She’d been left here to die. The paralytic drug coursing through her bloodstream kept her from escaping the inevitable. Somehow amidst the dark hopelessness, a handsome, stranger Dalton Collins is there, saving her.

Vulnerable and isolated at the bleak, city hospital, Anna finds Dalton back at her side again. Reaching out to her even when she won’t let the police help. She sees the way he interacts with the barbaric man who has become obsessed with silencing her. Dalton presses hard to learn the secret she’s worked so very hard to protect, the secret that’s tied her to this violent man in the first place.

Already having submitted herself to the reality of living every day in fear, Anna finds ever persistent Dalton a serious force to reckon with. Afraid for her life, but almost more afraid of the strength of her intense feelings for this seductive new-found stranger, Anna finds he might be the only safe person she can trust.

About the author:

A little bit about me, I am a city girl at heart. I have lived here all my life. I love writing and have ever since I can remember. Most of my novel writing started in my teens. In my room late at night, I can recall long hours spent typing away at my writing. Back in the day, I can remember typing on my typewriter, annoying my family relentlessly with the loud key tapping. Nowadays, things have become a lot more technically advanced and a lot quieter.

I try to write a little every day and hope to publish something that you truly enjoy.

Happy Reading!

Here is a short sample from the book:

Anna felt the warm, ocean breeze brush against her cheeks. Her heartbeats were becoming slower now. The sand pressed firmly against her body, sandwiching her here in this exotic hell. She felt her lips crusting; the panic had long since left her. Buried here, left for dead, she felt her body slipping. Her mind concluding she just needed to let go. Her will was lost. The sun having scorched her cheeks, her body paralyzed. The darkness provided an easy escape. Just close your eyes, Anna. She could almost hear the sound in the wind. He would not come back for her; he probably figured she was already dead.

    Invasion of Privacy and Other Short Stories by Jim Liston

    0 out of 5

    Invasion of Privacy

    If you’re the person who murdered my wife and think you’ve gotten away with it, think again. I’m looking for you, and I’ll eventually find you.

    Is it wrong for me to try and find the person who ruined my life, even at the expense of stealing a few moments of someone’s privacy? If I invade a person’s privacy without them knowing it, what’s the harm? I guess it all comes down to the question of whether I’m willing to risk the consequence of going to jail if I’m caught. I am. What do I have to lose?

    The other stories included are:

    The Tourist Attraction

    I’m sick of it. Every day there’s a group of them tourists, standing by my fence watching us, pointing and whispering. I don’t know what started it, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna put up with it much longer.

    A Novel Murder

    “I’m going to kill her today,” he said, “I’ve had her tied up in the basement for three days; it’s time to end it.”

    The Doctor’s Pet Fly

    A fly only lives for about a month. It seems like a waste of time to train a fly and then have it die after only a month. Maybe he’s found a way to keep them alive longer. He is a doctor, after all.

    The Show

    Rita looked around at the crowd of smiling, excited faces, concentrating on every detail to commit it to memory; she didn’t want to forget any of it. She shouldn’t have worried; she would remember this for the rest of her life.

    Carl and Tabitha

    Carl hated his boss and was determined to find a way to get even with him.

    Tag, You’re It!

    We looked across the valley at a breathtaking scene of red lakes and forests of blue and orange that were alive with activity.

    Before They Come Back

    Running his claw-like hand along my spine while making an odd whistling noise that I surmised to be their way of communicating, I began to realize they were preparing to cut me open.

    Justin’s Love

    When Justin first saw Lucille, it was love at first sight. He knew that she was perfect for him. All of his friends and co-workers were envious; she was beautiful.

    Ronnie and the Smoke Bomb.

    I didn’t tell Ronnie the police had found him sitting on the curb near the car, crying. They said he was sitting there mumbling, “It’s only a smoke bomb.”

    Christmas Bizarre by Lizz Lund

    0 out of 5

    What do Santa’s Sidekick, a dead lawyer and a geriatric vampire have in common? Meet Mina Kitchen – a forty-something single who finds trouble quicker than she can whip up a batch of breakfast breads. Plural. Her catering disorder runs neck-and-neck with her weird luck, and her cat’s weirder tendency toward gnawing elf gear. Okay, and getting kidnapped a couple of times in one week is a little strange, too.

    Her next door neighbor Vito’s past as ex-leader of the Moils, the Jewish-Polish Family from Bumville, New Jersey, comes to light and throws a dollop of dilemmas into an already simmering plot.

    Top it all off with a counterfeiting ring, a county-wide dearth of holiday wrapping tape, and a mass of pets running loose at the local mall, and what do you have? A recipe for disaster that Mina whips to a froth.

    Christmas Bizarre will keep you smiling when you’re not shouting up a belly laugh. Set in Lancaster, “Pee-Ay” you’ll discover a lively cast of characters, funny dialogue and lots of twists and turns. Hang on tight – you’re in for a slalom of a holiday ride.

    Christmas Bizarre is packed with delightful surprises – along with a bonus of free recipes, vetted by Lund’s chef husband, for your own culinary creation and consumption.

    **Recipes included!**
