Excerpt from THE HAUNTED EMPATH 

ā€œWhatā€™s wrong?ā€ Ruth asked. 

Jadeline grabbed her sisterā€™s hand and led her out of the room.
ā€œSomething doesnā€™t feel right,ā€ she said before they had even closed the door.

Ruth put a hand on her elbow. ā€œWhat did you see?ā€

ā€œSomeone else.ā€ Jadeline tried to compose herself, but the memory of her dream wouldnā€™t allow her.

ā€œYou didnā€™t see Grandma?ā€

Jadeline shook her head. ā€œIt 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.ā€

ā€œYes, you said you were a conduit to a dimension where diseases are passed on.ā€ Ruth looked at her quizzically. ā€œWhat was different this time?ā€

ā€œThe world around me was dying. It was a dystopian world where there was only hatred and death.ā€ Jadeline swallowed uncomfortably. Her throat still hurt from the excursion she had gone through. ā€œAnd pain. So much pain.ā€

ā€œIf it wasnā€™t Grandma, who was it? And where was Grandma?ā€ Ruth looked alarmed.

ā€œSomewhere else. I was somewhere else. That wasnā€™t my world.ā€













Excerpt from MILK

ā€œWhere are Mom and Dad?ā€ I demanded, again. The sinking feeling in my stomach returned as well. I wanted to run upstairs to look for them but I didnā€™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. ā€œTheyā€™ll be back.ā€ 

ā€œBut where are they?ā€ My voice shook and the amusement in Jennyā€™s green eyes told me she liked it. 

ā€œWhere they should be.ā€ 

ā€œJenny, youā€™re not making much sense.ā€ 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. 

ā€œDo you know why weā€™re here at Raggers Town?ā€ Her gaze hardened. ā€œMr And Mrs Fallers told me everything.ā€ 

ā€œWhat did they tell you?ā€ 

ā€œDad had a debt to pay. Mom and Dad stole money. They were on the run.ā€ Jenny inched closer to me. ā€œThat is why they came here.ā€ 

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

ā€œIt doesnā€™t matter. Where are they now?ā€ 

ā€œThey paid the loan. With us.ā€ Jenny grinned and snorted.
