Book Description:
“You
tell and next time you won’t even be able to crawl away.”
Neal Marchal lived with this threat for the next eight years. When she finds
her neighbor murdered, she knows who did it. The why is the secret the family
has been keeping forever. The reminder to never reveal the secret is her limp.
She rebuilt her life and now Neal has everything to live for—music, performing
and a growing affection for the young man who pulled her to safety.
Then Joe comes home. Neal knows Joe’s going to finish what he started 8 years
ago because she told. But this time Neal vows the outcome will be different.
About the Author:
Barbara was born in New York City
and but now lives somewhere else. By now, she thinks of herself as a country
girl and knows more about gardening and animals than how to ride the subway.
Starting her career by writing
tweens and YA books, (and did the cover photography for her first two books
published by Atheneum so continuing to do the covers to her ebooks is
predictable), she was actually aiming at the small screen. Television seemed
like the perfect place for her even if she had no clue how to get there. Life
is funny and often presents opportunities. Advice--Grab Them! Through a
neighbor, Barbara wound up getting an introduction to a lower honcho at ABC and
an audition to write for them. Her hopes were more than dashed, they were disintegrated,
evaporated, demolished when ABC couldn't find a place for Barbara on General
Hospital. (No Luke and Laura in her future!) To ease the crushing
disappointment, Barbara wrote “In Real Life I'm Just Kate” about a 17 year old
girl who becomes a star on a soap opera. That became an open sesame moment and
shortly thereafter Barbara became the last headwriter for NBC's daytime serial,
The Doctors, where she was ordered by the network to kill Alec Baldwin,
shooting him not once but twice. With two different guns. From different
directions.
Ah, good times.
You can read the book that
started Barbara’s television career as the Kindle YA ebook, “Just Kate”, now
with a substantial tweak because living life made her smarter.
You can also read about some could-be-hers-could-be-rumors
experiences gleaned during Barbara’s stint in daytime television in the Kindle
romantic comedy, In Under My Head.
Barbara is a recipient of a Writers Guild of America Best Writing Award
for her work on One Life To Live.
Whether you're looking for a
Mature YA or a romantic comedy, Barbara has a book for you!
