Book 2 of the Josephine Meyers Mystery Series


It’s been weeks since George went missing, and Sky and Jo couldn’t feel more relieved about it. The warmth of the summer is shifting into autumn, and a sense of calm has overtaken... or so they think.

When Jo has a terrifying run-in with a man in the woods, a bit of memory loss leaves her questioning things. Small signs point to George’s existence, and the girls have to figure out the truth before he makes his entrance back into their lives or worse... creates a quick exit for them, instead.

Sky’s stomach grows with each day that passes, and the danger that may be lurking outside their window is unsettling. Will Jo be able to protect her friend and the new baby? Is George lurking about in the woods? Does he have someone helping him?

Back at home, Sherry hires Adam, a new handyman and Sky reveals a secret of her own that may change everything. Is Adam someone the girls can trust? The clues are beginning to come together in Jo’s mind, but it might not be the answer she wants. Perhaps, George won’t be the only one she has to worry about and she may be alone to fight him sooner than she thinks.

You would think that writers would be good at writing a biography about themselves.. wrong.

I'm an introvert by nature, which I believe most writers are. We live in the made-up world inside our heads while dodging the reality that exists right outside our doorstep.

As a kid, I didn't know what love was. My parents were two incredibly broken people who didn't know how to raise kids, and didn't bother to learn. I was on a tree branch, swinging all alone. Sure, there were other branches there, and we all grew from the same root ball, but we didn't help one another. If my branch broke, I was going to fall, and I did many times. But, no matter how many times it happened, and how many branches broke, I would climb back up and find another one.

Eventually, I fell for the last time, dusted my pants off and walked away from the tree.

Writing was my sanctuary. I used it as therapy to battle and make sense of the memories in my head. Sometimes, readers say they don't believe that my books are inspired by my life. I used to get mad about it, and hurt by the fact that they didn't believe me, but now I admire the fact that they don't believe something awful like that could happen. It's beautiful that people have lived a life without hurt.

In 2013, I published my first book, Charlie's Secret:Inspired by a True Story. It was the most terrifying thing I've done, business wise up until that point. I had no idea how people would react, how my friends and family would react, and how I would react to their reactions.

However, I pushed foreward. I loved to write and I wasn't going to let anyone else destroy my dreams. Over the past ten years, I have published ten books, and have more on the way. I'm thankful for everyone who has read them, even if they weren't fans after finishing.

Hopefully, my books will help someone break the branch, and walk away from the tree.
