Chapter 0ne

IF THERE WAS ONE thing Tammy Gail Sharp had learned over the past ten years as an Atlanta homicide detective, it was never to hesitate when facing a killer. Then what would cause her to stand there like a fool instead of pulling the trigger? Because Chip Reeker looked young enough to be her child. The child she’d never have.

The basement in the home Chip shared with his grandmother reminded Tammy of the sauna she frequented at the gym – tiny and hot enough to melt a bucket of Rocky Road ice cream in seconds. Sweat clung to her scalp, and she had no doubt her chestnut hair looked as greasy as Chip’s bleached blonde locks.

His right hand shook as it clung to the pistol. His open-mouth breathing caused his chest to move up and down. Despite his bloodshot eyes, Chip’s round face almost looked angelic as his finger twitched on the trigger of the 22-caliber pistol in his short, plump hand.

“There’s no need for anyone to get hurt,” Tammy said, her eyes working to align with Chip’s. ”Your grandmother asked me to stop by to talk to her.”

A tendon in Chip’s neck twitched before he adjusted his view downward. “She was going to fill your head with lies.” The bulge of his throat rippled with every swallow.

She didn’t want to believe he’d shoot her. He hadn’t even been on her radar as a suspect in his father’s murder – not with his solid alibi. Now that they’d made an arrest, what could be the reason? And where was his grandmother?

An AI-generated look at Winter Creek

 Okay, I'll admit it. I like using AI for pictures. All the Winter Creek covers are created that way. (I like the way they came out.) I've also been messing around with Copilot, and came up with some pictures of the town and people. The saloon from Entangled Hearts  The shop from Dressmaker's Dilemma    The classroom from Trusting the Cowboy And, for the soon-to-be released More Than a Kiss      Not to mention, an AI-generated picture of Winter Creek itself.    I really need to start writing again.    Oh, almost forgot, all of my Winter Creek books at 50% off the entire month of July. Why not go and check it out?   https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TheresaStillwagon6651

Guest post-- How one author comes up with idea?

  In The Misremembered Lighthouse , historian and author Hayley Hunter rents a lighthouse converted into a rental property near the North Carolina coast. She uses it as a base to research her next book and continue her genealogy work, only to discover that the original lighthouse keeper, a Scottish immigrant named Jonathan Corbyn, haunts it. The lighthouse was inspired by the Ocracoke Light Station, which was only in use for less than twenty years due to shifting channels, and by the Wicklow Head Lighthouse in Ireland, which has been turned into a holiday rental. I loved its round rooms, natural lighting, spiraling staircases, and views of the water, skies, and seabirds. I combined the two to create the Corbyn Lighthouse near Wilmington, North Carolina, which is named for its only keeper, Jonathan Corbyn. I am intrigued by the Scots who migrated to North Carolina after the Battle of Culloden in Scotland, only to be called up to fight for the British during the American Revolu...

Blurb fo Winter Creek, Montana series

Winter Creek, Montana is a series of light paranormal books with interfering ghosts and hot cowboys.    Both of those give the women of Winter Creek a hard time.    Here's the overall blurb for the series. This came from the first book, Entangled Hearts, out Oct. 1. You can pre-order it now at  Smashwords .   Enjoy!!!   Return to Winter Creek   A peculiar stillness blanketed Winter Creek as Jen entered through the guarded gate, flashing her WCHA identification at the same sentry she had  encountered  days before. The silence held no menace for her; some might call it the hush of the dead, but nothing in the air or on Main Street suggested the presence of  spirits.   The Saloon Encounter   Inside the saloon, Jen made her way to the center. No voices whispered, no eerie scents lingered—only the usual sigh of the October wind outside. “Grace, are you here?” she called, moving through the bar to the cluttered back room. There,...
