AT HER MERCY HAS BEEN COMPLETED!

I thought I had completed the story back in June but it turns out that there were several inconsistencies and issues that needed to be addressed. But now… 

At Her Mercy is FINALLY done!

Following her rescue from Benjamin Merritt’s horrific man cave, Amber Skye Bentley feels irreparably damaged and insignificant. Medication does not quell her anger and resentment. Therapy is likewise ineffective. Only one thing provides a sense of meaning and purpose to her life: her determination to rid the world of sexual predators. 

Amber believes that her actions are justified, yet the lines between good and evil quickly get blurred and she recognizes that with each murder she commits, she loses her humanity and becomes more of a monster—more like the man who shattered her life.

With reports of missing people on the rise, Amber soon learns that she has become the serial killer pursued by law enforcement officials. Yet, it does little to hinder her efforts, even as her mind begins to unravel and she loses her grip on reality. She is confident that she can avoid arousing suspicion. She will do whatever it takes to continue her mission, no matter the cost, no matter the sacrifices she must make. It’s bad news for those who love her and bear witness to her rapid decline.

And worse news for those who find themselves…

​​​​​​​…at her mercy.

COMING THIS SUMMER - AT HER MERCY 

I just wanted to provide an update regarding At Her Mercy, the sequel to Man Cave. I had intended to release it so long ago but life’s many ups and downs kept interfering with its completion. I am very happy to say that I am FINALLY wrapping things up now and it should be available some time this summer—for real this time!

I am deeply sorry for all of the broken promises. I honestly tried on so many occasions to get some writing done, but my head and my heart just weren’t into it. It’s been a terribly slow process but my writing muse has returned and I have plenty of story ideas that I’m excited to complete. 

Thank you all so very much for your patience and support. It means the world to me. Truly! 

And many thanks to those who have offered such kindness and encouragement along the way. It has given me the strength and motivation to return to my writing. I am forever grateful. ❤️

Rest peacefully, Alice

 

I have had the honor and privilege of knowing my mother-in-law (my second mother), Alice, for more than half my life. She was kind to me from the moment we met and she welcomed me into her family with loving open arms. She was always so caring and encouraging, with a huge heart full of love and a zest for life. Family was everything to Alice and as our matriarch, she ensured that we all stayed close and connected. She always wanted to know every detail of our lives in a way that I can only fully appreciate now that she’s gone. Whenever there is news to share, I think of calling her only to remember that she is no longer around. Weeks after her passing, I still find myself in tears as I feel this void that’s been left by her absence. I think about her beautiful voice, her laughter and her love for nature and it warms my sorrowful heart. I would give anything to have her back in our lives. There are so many places we had planned to visit, so many things we wanted to do together. Alice filled our lives with such joy. We never doubted her love. She was there for us through good times and bad, always staying strong and positive. I keep thinking about how amazing she was—how she never uttered a bad word against anyone, always choosing instead to see the good in people. Everyone who had the pleasure of meeting Alice instantly loved her. She had this energy about her that made you feel good. I know without a doubt that Alice changed my life for the better and changed me for the better, too. Everything I know about love I learned from watching her with her husband, Augie, another beautiful soul whom I am so fortunate to have in our lives. It’s hard seeing him mourning her loss. They were always together, holding hands as they walked, laughing together and enjoying life to the fullest. 

Alice, you will forever be in my heart and I will honor your sweet spirit by living by the example you set. I will find a way to brush away the tears and focus on all of the cherished memories you have given us. I know that you are somehow still with us even if we can no longer see and hear you. I feel your presence often and I will never, ever forget you. Thank you for everything you have done for us. I have never taken you or your love and guidance for granted. I hope you always felt my love, gratitude and respect. ❤️🙏🏼

Mourning

 

My family and I are mourning the loss of our beloved little cat, Pita. He was barely over three years old and somehow developed severe kidney problems leading to kidney failure. Pita and his siblings were brought to us by a feral cat residing on our property. They all had nasty eye infections. We took them to a local animal hospital, nursed them back to good health and gave them a loving home. It breaks my heart that a cat who suffered so much as a kitten continued to face such hardships and eventually succumb to an illness at such a young age. Pita was my husband’s shadow. They had such an amazing bond and shared a love that survives death. 

You’ll be missed, sweet Pita. Sleep in peace, little one. 🐈‍⬛🥺❤️🙏🏼🕊️
