REMAINDERS: Apocalypse in Eden book 3

Most of the crew survived the apocalypse, but what now? All they have left is faith, hope, and each other. Will that be enough?



A TRACE OF ROMANCE
A Two-Hour Novella

Laynie & Trace were best friends until tragedy struck, then they were split apart. His family moved away. Somehow, he forgot her, but now, after six years, he was back, leaning into her flower shop doorway, taking up all the space just the way he'd always done. Why was he here, in her new life, after all this time?

Then I moved on to Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Mary Higgins Clark. Oh, and Jeffrey Deaver. His Lincoln Rhyme novels are packed with suspense.

Thanks for asking. I still have so much to learn about this game of novel writing!(less)
