Dark Illusions

by Christy Poff

Sephora Collins grew up in an old money family but chose to become a fundraiser for charities throughout the United States. Nigel Shelton led a duplicitous life - both extremely profitable especially when geologists discovered a vein of turquoise running through his property and his neighbors. One man wants the vein but another wants it more. Can Sephora and Nigel hold onto their new found wealth or will the dark illusions of others destroy them?

About the author

Christy Poff lives in southeastern Pennsylvania with her husband and two teens, although her son is in the Air Force stationed in Minot, North Dakota and remains a cell phone call away.

Previously, she wrote news articles for local newspapers and regional firefighting publications. With her articles, she added photography to her pieces. Writing for several years,
she has a deep respect for Civil War history and has done extensive research into the times. This love and research have resulted in several Civil War novels looking for a home.

CHASE FOR AN ANGEL was born from this and the others followed. She loves old cities with charm and history like Charleston and New Orleans, the wide open spaces in Wyoming, the Dakotas, Civil War battlefields and the hustle
and bustle of Las Vegas and seeing the rest of the US. One day, she hopes to see Ireland with her daughter and both
Canadian coasts.

A volunteer firefighter for over twenty five years, she's been able to use her experience in several published works for others and even in some of her own works in progress.
