Hi Sixers and friends. I value your comments and thanks so much for stopping by. Last week Emily’s husband Patrick promised he’d care for her the rest of his life. He meant well.
excerpt:
High on his perch, the watcher Clifford Lansdale juiced on oxycontin and black coffee, saw the honeymooners on the beach. Obsessed with his Goddess Emily and his plan, he grabbed keys to the restored dune buggy he treasured and headed out for a little ride. Gunning the motor, the buggy sailed over dunes onto the flat hard packed sand. Course set straight ahead for, oh my, if it isn’t his lawyer dear Patrick Corwin jogging alone and where oh where is she? Ah yes, far up the beach, the lonely quiet beach with no one around and only the fierce wind making all that racket and just a tap to send him sprawling, one tiny tap. Clifford Lansdale geared up high, pedal to the floor and headed straight for the target.

Sounds like Clifford is a naughty lawyer with revenge on his mind. Love the action. I could really visualize this beach!
Patrick is his lawyer and Clifford is a sociopath. . .dangerous. As always, thanks for your comment.
It’s a crazy scene! Love it!
Wow! I wasn’t expecting this after the last SSS. Great job of cranking up the intensity!
Tune in next week. More cranking ahead. Thanks Sarah.
Perfect description of the dunes, I’ve ridden them myself. Great six, but now I’m scared of this Clifford… eeeks! 😀 see ya next week for more!
Amy, this is great. See you soon.
Sociopath – very tense not knowing what he’ll do when he reaches her. This was intriguing enough, I had to dash over to Amazon and read the sample. Very nice writing, Charmaine. Love how the book starts out.
Thanks Maddie. Means a lot to me.
Such a feeling of dread building up here.
More to come, Eleri. Thanks.
Eep! That lawyer might want to run!!
Hey Dee, it’s hard to outrun a dune buggy. Yikes. Trouble ahead.
Gotta love your friendly neighborhood sociopath. 😉 I love the juxtaposition of the sweetness of the last snippet and the suspense of this one. Well done.
Silver, thanks for stopping by. I love reading your comments.
Nice suspense. Good excerpt.
Elaine, romance and suspense is what we’re about. Tune in next week. Thanks.
Hi Elaine, thanks for your comment
I love the book cover, and this is an ideal setting – beaches are great and you describe it very well. Good six!
Hi Frank, Thanks for stopping by. I do love beaches and lived in St. Augustine.
