FREE EXTENDED PREVIEW
Forced to Spy for Grave Robbers
True Colors – Fiction Based on Strange-But-True History
In 1824, Josephine Clayton is considered dead by everyone in her Massachusetts village—especially the doctor she has assisted for several months. Yet, she is still very much alive.
After the doctor’s illegal dealing with his body snatcher to obtain her body, Josephine awakens, positioned as the next corpse for his research. To cover up his crime, the doctor tries to kill her, but Josephine begs to be spared. They strike a deal—Josephine will leave her village and work at a distant cotton mill. All the while, she’ll await her true mission—posing as a mourner to help the body snatcher procure her replacement.
At the mill though, Josephine is praised for her medical remedies among the other female workers, gaining attention from the handsome factory manager, Braham Taylor. Yet, when Braham’s own loved one becomes the prey for the next grave robbing, Josie must make a choice that could put her dark past behind her or steal away the promise of any future at all.
What price will Josie pay for love when her secrets begin to unravel?

A Great Preview!
I really like this preview of The Yellow Lantern! In these first few chapters we meet the main characters and get a pretty good feel for what's going on. I cannot imagine waking up on a traveling doctor's surgical table. Even worse would be to learn that I have been declared dead and buried!
I highly recommend getting the actual book. I've read it. You need to find out what happens to Josie Clay. There are many twists and surprises throughout the rest of the story.

Intriguing
Careful unraveling of plots and characters. Josie's resurrection is almost gothic but just as interesting. Thank you Angie. Waiting for more.
