Katherine's Song*
A Family Novel by
 Linda Lane

     “Kate…”
     “I'm right here, Ed.”
     She leaned closer. His hoarse whisper tore at her heart. Knowing he couldn't open his swollen eyes, she brushed his hand with her fingers. 
     “Print shop…promise…”
     “I know. I promised.” She struggled to keep her voice steady
     “You must stop…”
     “Stop what?”
     He didn’t answer.
     “Go on,” she urged after several seconds.
     He still didn’t answer.
     She touched his hand again. “I’ll do anything you want.”
     He didn’t respond.
     “Please talk to me, Ed. I don’t understand what you’re asking.”
     The only reply was the rhythmic sound coming from the machine that monitored his heartbeat.    


* This strong family-oriented story about love, loss, forgiveness, and the real value of family includes some scenes of domestic violence.

Day of Retribution*
A Corporate Thriller by
 Tom Trench

     The sun dropped below the horizon. David hurried to make the most of the little daylight left. Driven by a sense of urgency, he plowed through the dense underbrush toward the big, moss-draped cypress. The only sound other than the ground crunching under his feet was the jangling of the empty fish stringer that hung from his belt. Only a little further to go…and he was there.
     His sigh of relief ended in a gasp as he looked down into the black, tannic-stained water. Where was his boat? Grabbing the nylon rope that had secured it to the tree, he found the loose end that lay in the shadows. Its smooth, clean cut indicated recent contact with something very sharp.
     His heart pounded. Adrenaline coursed through his body. How would he escape the snake-infested island now? Then he heard it. A low snarl close behind him escalated into a piercing scream that shot through him like a bullet. Pressing himself hard against the cypress, he tried to melt into its dark form.
     “Not so sure of yourself now, are you? You’re mine…and it’s payback time.”
     David’s breath froze as he watched a man dressed in a black wet suit emerge from the twisted vines only a few feet away. Even in the deepening shadows, he could see revenge glowing in his stalker’s eyes.
Like a deadly serpent poised to strike, the man never took his eyes off David’s face; but for a brief moment the glint in his hand snatched David’s attention. The last shards of twilight filtering through the trees caught the blade of the large knife he swung back and forth.
     What now? He could try to wrest the weapon from the man’s hand, but he could be butchered in the attempt. Or he could dive into the murky water below and risk being attacked by the ever-present alligators lying along the river’s edge.
     Suddenly, as though he had read David’s mind, the man raised the knife and lunged toward him.

    

* Powerful story of corporate corruption with strong, believable characters addresses the influence of family and the impact of childhood abuse on adult lives. Occasional violence. No explicit sex. Some scenes may be disturbing to sensitive readers.
