Michelle D. Rayford knew she wanted to write books the moment she won a literacy contest in the fifth grade. The writing seed was planted. It only took a couple of decades for that seed to bear fruit. Michelle was never good at gardening.
Even while pursuing a degree in Business Administration, working a government job, getting married and having two daughters, the stories didn’t stop churning in her head. Some even made their way into print in the form of poems, short stories and blog posts.
Michelle lives in a Southern city where she spends any free time reading, writing, listening to 80’s music and playing NBA2K. She can be contacted at mdrayford@gmail.com or through her website www.michelledrayford.com

This was a good quick read. Its the story of Alex and kelsee. Alex meets Kelsee in the er of a hosputal after saving her from a shooter. They have a whirlwind relationship. But it has many secrets. Its also has a twist that I didn't see coming. Its a great book.
Now this was a fun short story. Just enough character development to make you think you know what’s gonna happen, then BAM! I didn’t NOT expect that. Very well done and worthy of a read if your looking for a quickie with a punch.
This short story was full of suspense ! From the character development to the pleasantly surprising plot twist. I highly recommend reading this if you’re looking for something short, that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
A great introduction to this author's work. Quick paced and suspenseful, I could never guess where this was leading. Definitely surprised at the ending; my mind never went there.
