I’m ready for spring.
Are you?
I need it, because it only gets us closer to summer, and that is the season I love most. The sun, the sundresses, the smell of food cooking on the grill… all of this… I’m ready for it. The kick-off of spring also means the start of convention season and I am here for that too! I will be at a couple of places this year – one brand new place that I am super excited about.
All this after I have a triple-punch, mama said knock you out-type of April!

Sara Sue is bored with her suburban life, but then late one night, she witnesses something sinister in the park near her home and things get interesting.
The next day, Sara Sue makes a gruesome discovery in the shadows of the playground. Compelled to investigate, she soon realizes all is not what it seems in her sleepy neighborhood. Dark secrets lie just beneath the surface.
Someone close to her is hiding the truth.
When strange things start happening, Sara Sue realizes she’s being watched. Now she must untangle the mystery before the shadows come for her as well.
But can she uncover the truth in time to escape the looming threats that surround her?
