Fifty Shades of Mystery, Moxie and Suspense: Book 2
Publication Date: December 3, 2015
An Award-winning Adrenaline Rush! For readers seeking plenty of searing intensity, plenty of mind-bending mystery, plenty of heart-racing suspense and plenty of hellish horror!
When tragedy affects his life, an unconvicted, “politically-shielded” professional killer blames and hunts a young woman. He pursues sweet revenge. Her beloved adoptive family circle the wagons around her. This time, for him, it’s more than a job, It’s a welcomed war. Can the family survive? How?
In Prosperity, Texas, charm begins at the county line, a large mint green sign reads: “Wholesome Living in a Storybook setting”. A town park – resplendent with yellow, pink and red roses, a white gazebo, a stout limestone footbridge, a pond flanked by Weeping Cherry trees and nesting Mallard ducks – locks-in the message.
Yet, beneath the idyllic sugar-coated appearance, plenty of problems plague Prosperity – political corruption, an influx of illegal drugs, road rage, theft, prostituion and pornography. Sheriff Gordon has put his stamp on Prosperity – reaping huge profits in the process. His go-to-enforcer, Bruce, a cocaine-addicted, misogynistic, hit man maintains law, order and iron-fisted justice as per Gordon’s aggressive agenda.
Camille, a gorgeous, lonely, young woman has caught the unwavering eye and attention of Gordon’s son, Grant. Handsome, wealthy, powerful, sadisitc Grant and naive Camile become a couple in spite of Gordon’s fury. Camille has also enchanted Ben, Bruce’s only son, and Grant’s best friend.
Crippled by circumstances – a dysfunctional family, adolescence, immaturity, a bad romance, a lack of education and ambition. how can she prevail and thrive?
Can this nightmare become anymore hellish? Yes.
For mature audiences only. DLSV.
Inspired by a true story of a tyrannical crooked Kentucky Sheriff and a conversation with a distraught mother of a sex trafficked teen during a book tour.
The author will be awarding a $15 Amazon or Barnes & Noble gift card to a randomly drawn winner.
Kelly’s fascination with fiction began in middle school when she entered a book-reading contest and won. When college professors spotlighted her writing in the classroom, it triggered her interest in becoming a novelist. As an ardent fan of the resonating narrative and the cliffhanger, she decided to dedicate herself to becoming a skilled writer. She continued to pursue her education at UCLA Extension where her writing earned praise from an award-winning author/professor.
When did she dare to dream large? An epiphany occurred when she read that one of her favorite authors, Nicholas Sparks, began his work career with a Finance degree, also graduating with honors. Actually, he earned a living in Pharmaceutical Sales before becoming an author. Despite chuckles and setbacks, she had a burning desire to write. She lovingly labeled it – “a calling, a compulsion and an obsession.”
One of the high points of her journey occurred when Kelly paid an Industry Creative to analyze her novels. In the Executive’s written comprehensive assessment of both books, she declares, “…Beautiful Evil Winter may work best as a feature film while Plenty has potential as a TV series… Both projects might have appeal for actresses with their own production companies. Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Selena Gomez and Sandra Bullock come to mind…” The expert storyteller’s impressive credentials include: Creative Executive on SALT, The Bone Collector, Revenge – tv series, and script consultant for Kevin Costner.
On a personal level, Kelly credits her horse life with shaping her personality by making her confident, thoughtful, resilient, relentless and disciplined. As an avid, lifelong equestrian, rural life with horses proved to be a perfect backdrop for indulging her insatiable desire to craft quality novels. In fact, she wrote Beautiful Evil Winter, her first paperback, while training for competition and managing the family ranch. Moreover, her horsey background helped her enrich the lives of her big dog rescues through Obedience, Nose Work and Agility classes.
