Synopsis
When
reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday,
everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in
the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she
was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past.
But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With
her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A
dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.
Excerpt
A
week later we took our first trip into Seattle together. It was her idea. We
rode in my car since she said she didn't have one. She looked nervous sitting
in the front seat with her hands folded in her lap. When I asked her if she
wanted me to put the radio on she said no. We ate Russian pastries from paper
bags and watched the ferries cross the sound, shivering and standing as close
as we could get to each other. Our fingers were so greasy when we were done we
had to rinse them off in a water fountain. She laughed when I splashed water in
her face. I could have written another ten thousand words just from hearing her
laugh. We bought five pounds of prawns from the market and headed back to my
house. I don’t know why the hell I asked for five pounds, but it sounded like a
good idea at the time.
“You
have one of these,” I said, as we were cleaning the prawns together at my
kitchen sink. I ran my finger laterally along its body, pointing out the dark
line that needed to be cleaned out. She frowned, looking down at the prawn she
was holding.
“It’s
called a mud vein.”
“A
mud vein,” she repeated. “Doesn't sound like a compliment.”
“Maybe
not to some people.”
She
de-headed her shrimp with a flick of her knife and tossed it in the bowl.
“It’s
your darkness that pulls me in. Your mud vein. But sometimes having a mud vein
will kill you.”
She
set down the knife and washed her hands, drying them on the back of her jeans.
“I
have to go.”
“Sure,”
I said. I didn't move until I heard the screen door slam. I wasn't upset that
my words had run her off. She didn't like to be found out. But she’d be back.

Bio
I am a real life villain, truly. I drink sick amounts of Starbucks. Most of the time my hair smells like coffee. I was born in South Africa, and lived there for most of my childhood. I moved to Seattle just for the rain. Rome is my favorite place in the world so far, Paris comes in at a close second. I read and write more than I sleep. When I was eleven, I wrote an entire novel about runaway orphans, using only purple ink. I am addicted to Florence and the Machine and will travel to see concerts. I love scary movies and giraffes. I spend way too much time on Facebook. Meet you there?…
