Excerpt from THE HAUNTED EMPATH 

“What’s wrong?” Ruth asked. 

Jadeline grabbed her sister’s hand and led her out of the room.
“Something doesn’t feel right,” she said before they had even closed the door.

Ruth put a hand on her elbow. “What did you see?”

“Someone else.” Jadeline tried to compose herself, but the memory of her dream wouldn’t allow her.

“You didn’t see Grandma?”

Jadeline shook her head. “It was someone else. You know how I usually see Grandma and she helps me through this passage of clarity. It makes it easier for the ailments to run through me and transfer it to that other world.”

“Yes, you said you were a conduit to a dimension where diseases are passed on.” Ruth looked at her quizzically. “What was different this time?”

“The world around me was dying. It was a dystopian world where there was only hatred and death.” Jadeline swallowed uncomfortably. Her throat still hurt from the excursion she had gone through. “And pain. So much pain.”

“If it wasn’t Grandma, who was it? And where was Grandma?” Ruth looked alarmed.

“Somewhere else. I was somewhere else. That wasn’t my world.”













Excerpt from MILK

“Where are Mom and Dad?” I demanded, again. The sinking feeling in my stomach returned as well. I wanted to run upstairs to look for them but I didn’t want to turn my back at Jenny either. I realized I was afraid of her, though there was no rational explanation for it except what my instincts were telling me. 

Her smile dropped and she straightened her head. “They’ll be back.” 

“But where are they?” My voice shook and the amusement in Jenny’s green eyes told me she liked it. 

“Where they should be.” 

“Jenny, you’re not making much sense.” I took a step back. My sister looked like a demonic vision with her hair long and let loose. She was wearing a white nightgown and her eyes looked darker than before. 

“Do you know why we’re here at Raggers Town?” Her gaze hardened. “Mr And Mrs Fallers told me everything.” 

“What did they tell you?” 

“Dad had a debt to pay. Mom and Dad stole money. They were on the run.” Jenny inched closer to me. “That is why they came here.” 

I stared at my sister, wondering if I should believe her or doubt her mental health. 

“It doesn’t matter. Where are they now?” 

“They paid the loan. With us.” Jenny grinned and snorted.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
