I am pleased to welcome my friend and fellow PBG author from across the pond who is visiting all week!
Clare lives in a small town in England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, and her three children. Writing from a early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, reading, sewing, she's keeping house or doing the many piles of laundry her children manage to make.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of three registrars. Clare can be found at the following places: Website, Blog, Facebook, & on Twitter @clarerevell
Today we are spotlighting Clare's one of her recent releases, Turned.
Turned upside down by
misadventure. Amy Childs is running late for a party, when she makes an illegal
U turn, and hits a pedestrian—the brother of one of the most corrupt men in
town. Now her brush with the law has her running for her life from those who
want retribution.
Torn apart by tragedy. Detective
Sgt Dane Philips lost his wife two years ago to a serial killer. He’s juggled
work and his two daughters ever since, but can no longer cope. A live in nanny
seems the solution. He knows he shouldn’t hire someone without references, but
he needs a nanny and Amy needs a job. Perhaps it’s an answer to prayer.
But for all of them, the
nightmare is only beginning as the events take a sinister turn. And only a
miracle can save them all from destruction.
Excerpt: She got out of the car. Her legs
buckled, not wanting to hold her up. She glanced to her right. The guy in the
blue shirt lay on the pavement, surrounded by police and paramedics. A huge
crowd of onlookers stood everywhere. “Is…is he dead?”
“No. What’s your name?”
“Amy.”
“Amy what?”
“Amy Childs.” She couldn’t tear
her eyes away from the scene.
“Have you had anything to drink
in the last hour?”
“No. I don’t drink.”
“Breathe into this until I say
stop.”
She frowned. “I told you, I don’t
drink.” But she did as the police officer asked. “Can I go now? I have
somewhere I have to be.”
“Amy Childs,” the police officer
spoke firmly, pulling her hands behind her back. “I’m arresting you on
suspicion of dangerous driving.”
“What? It was only a U-turn…”
“You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense if you do not mention, when questioned, something
which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in
evidence.” Metal cuffs snapped around her wrists and firm hands put her into
the back of the police car.
“But it was only a U-turn,” she
repeated.
“U-turns are illegal,” the cop
said sharply. “And you hit a pedestrian.” The door slammed shut.
Amy looked at it. It had no
handle on the inside. She swallowed hard against the rising nausea as the car
started to move. What had she done? Tears burned her eyes.
The journey was short. The
officers led her inside the custody suite to the desk. The place stank of sweat
and sick. She gave her name and address and handed over all her belongings. The
officer took her down to a cell and removed the cuffs. She had to take off her
shoes and leave them in the corridor. The door slammed shut, leaving her alone.
Turned can be purchased from Pelican Book Group in Print & Ebook, Amazon in Print and on Kindle and Barnes and Noble in Print and on Nook!
