Fresh on the heels of the
thrilling novella Frozen comes Torched, a continuation of the tale of
two women who have had their families decimated by tragedy, and who will stop
at nothing to gain a measure of vengeance in return for their suffering.
Terri James lost her husband to
the Colorado wilderness, but she never lost the hope of making Vivian Bowles
pay for what she did to her family.
After enlisting the help of a
private detective, Terri has discovered that Vivian escaped to a tiny village
in Central Mexico. She has taken up residence there with another American
expatriate, and is embarking upon what appears to be an idyllic existence.
All of this while Terri’s
children struggle with chronic nightmares and an existence without their
father.
But life has a fascinating way of
repeating itself, and Terri has some very uncomfortable plans for the happy
hideaways taking refuge in Cerritos. Torched
explores the depths of obsession that govern the human impulse for revenge, as
well as the redemptive qualities of what it means to let go.
Whoever said that revenge was a
dish best served cold?
A 28,000-word novella, Torched is intended for adult audiences.
It contains graphic depictions of sex and violence.
(Author’s note: Yes, some
razorbacks do top 1,000 pounds. Don’t believe me? Do a little bit of research
on “Hogzilla,” a creature that was shot and killed in Alapaha, Georgia, back in
2004…)
