Imagine being in love for three hundred years with the same soul…
Trevor Brady drowned while pirating on the Caribbean in the 1700’s and was given a chance to redeem his soul. He begins life anew, as a guardian of human beings. Trevor finds himself in love with what may be the reincarnation of his childhood sweetheart, who was murdered by Trevor’s former ship captain. To make things worse, it looks like the ship’s captain has returned from the grave, bent on taking his revenge on Trevor and all whom he loves. They all collide in the world of kidnapping, drugs, and slavery.
About the Author - I never thought I would be a writer when I was young, in fact I didn’t like to read. I was an outside girl, riding my bike, swimming, climbing trees, and making up my own stories as I played. We lived in the San Joaquin Valley where it was hot in the summer and foggy in the winter. My brother and I were close and spent most of our free time together. My dad owned a nursery and we were required to work watering the plants and pulling weeds. But for the most part I had a normal childhood and teenage life. High school consisted of cheerleading, competing on the swim team, and making grades, so that I’d be accepted to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
I met and married the love of my life while working as an EMT. When the girls came along I stayed home and raised them. My husband found his passion in I.T.
My writing career began when I broke my leg and was not allowed to walk. I had to do something to purge my wild imagination and energy. I discovered the computer. I spent the next six weeks reading every book I could find on how to write. I read and wrote every day until I could tell a story. When I felt I was ready I began researching and writing my own novel. I doubted myself almost every day, but here I am, five years later with a completed novel. (Thank you to all the people who helped and encouraged me along the way).
I teach my swimmers to work hard and never give up on their dreams. I think the same advice applies to me. The word can’t is not in my vocabulary. My motto: Dream big, work hard, and never give up has worked well for me throughout my life.
