When not writing, Tina enjoys reading romance novels, zombie movies, restoring classic cars, cats, crafting, and graphic design work. Poking fun at herself, and everything in between is her key to laughter and a long and healthy life.
A short story of life, death, choices and consequences.
Sharon is a troubled woman, grieving the loss of her husband, when she discovers a mysterious doorway - and a mysterious tall-dark-and-deadly man who is more than he appears.
Sharon is made to relive moments of her life, re-examine certain decisions she made. She confronts painful truths regarding her husband, and then must face her own shortcomings, her own fears and failures, her actions and non-actions.
There is an ethereal quality to the story - it shifts from past to present, from one reality to another, and culminates in one life-altering choice.
