What can I say? Writing is an acceptable form of schizophrenia.
Sara Stark is Nellie Williamson's alter ego. Nellie grew up on a farm outside a small town in middle Georgia, but having been married to a Navy man for nearly fifteen years (and now divorced, thank goodness), she has lived in most parts of the US at one time or another.
Nellie has spent the past twenty-something years in the crazy and demanding world of Corporate America. So when the morass of making a living got boring, as a creative outlet, she took up writing fiction, and Sara emerged. Nellie still lives in Corporate America, at least until Sara publishes more.
Their current home is in Seattle, Washington, and Nellie has certificates from the University of Washington in Literary and Popular Fiction and has attended three writers' retreats. Her most recent novel, An Untold Want (also referred to as Counting Crows), was a finalist in the Mainstream Literary Contest at the 2012 Pacific Northwest Writers' Association (PNWA) Conference.

The story had me hook, line and sinker with in the first page. It was an interesting journey with a bit of occult, mystery and ill placed desire. Sara does a great job of representing the New Orleans Voodoo Practices respectfully and shows the reaches of it ... if you believe.
Note this is an e Published book available on Nook, Kindle and others... I really enjoyed reading the book and the character development of Janice... quite a transformation.

Picked this up within minutes of seeing it because I was seduced by the allure of dark romance and intrigue from the dark arts. The synopsis appealed...the book didn't.
I thought i was going to read something a little out of the ordinary, the potential was there, possibly something with a twist, unfortunately there was nothing in the book that hadn't been done before, probably thirty plus years ago.
The writing was fluid enough, the book itself needed more imagination.
Disappointed!!!
