I've just recently read "Tragic Love" a new book by Tammy Rockett-Box and Mary Rockett - a mother and daughter author duo. Excellent book! The story was so compelling I contacted the author just to ask her some questions. I have become a fan!
I just read on the author's facebook page that they also have another book coming out called "Strange Happenings, it's a collection of short stories. Looks like excellent reading material!
I asked the author if I could copy the excerpt from her page--it's pasted below, although this one hasn't been officially released, looks as though it can only be purchased through the publisher at this time.
Excerpt from 4:15 am chapter one of "Strange Happenings: A Collection of Short Stories":
I heard a noise coming from the lake behind my house. The small lake appeared to be swelling with unusually large waves. Something was rising up out of the water and it was massive.
I stood at my patio door listening, watching, and waiting. Whatever it was, it was coming fast. Suddenly they erupted from the water. There were many of them and they rode on horses. They weren't human; their faces were half man and half animal of some kind. They had great power and raised their swords to the sky.
I feared for my life but knew their power was greater than anything human. I called for my son who came to stand by my side. The closer they got the more mesmerized we were by the sight of them and found that as much as we wanted to run we couldn't. There was no hiding from them. I held my son close to me as though I could protect him. Their swords pointed towards us as they approached.
Strange Happenings is available at www.publishamerica.net
