of childhood revisited, memories resurrected, and fears reborn
KEY SELLING POINTS

Will appeal to readers who like a
little supernatural in their thrillers,

After years away, Laurie returns to the home where she was raised by a cold, distant father
who recently exorcised his demons. But no amount of cleaning can wipe away the troubled
past. She feels it lurking in the broken moldings, sees it staring from an empty picture frame,
hears it laughing in the moldy greenhouse deep in the woods
At first, Laurie thinks shes imagining things. But when she meets her daughters new
playmate, she notices her uncanny resemblance to another little girl who used to live next
door. Who died next door. With each passing day, Lauries uneasiness grows stronger,
her thoughts more disturbing. Like her father, is she slowly losing her mind? Or is
something truly unspeakable happening?

If someone had warned Sand that being in love was so costly, she might have taken the oath
to never fall in love. When her parents discovered her secret gay life in a shoebox full of love
letters, they kicked her out of their house. Years later, Sand unexpectedly receives a phone
call from a family friend, bearing the tragic news that her mother has passed away from
breast cancer. At her familys request, shes asked to not attend the funeral. With so much
agony already inflicted, Sand just adds this to the collection, turning to her liquid painkiller
to temporarily ease the hurt.
Over the next few months, Renes alone time has allowed her a chance to evaluate her
relationship with Sand, and it forces her to question her own sexuality. Recycled through the
foster system as early as four, Rene is one who has become accustomed to change. Even
falling for a banker, who just happens to be white, doesnt seem so far-fetcheduntil the day
he proposes to her. She struggles to find a way to tell him that shes currently involved with
another woman, but observing his gay-bashing behavior makes it dicult. While her heart
says one thing, her mind says another, leaving her confused and secretive all over again.
Although Sand and Rene face separate challenges, that is the least of their problems. The
neighborhoods queen-pin, who everyone knows as Chyna, is not one to be played with.
With her ears to the streets and her eyes on every dollar floating around Dallas, Texas, its
impossible for anything to get past her. When she propositions Sand and Rene, its no
strange coincidence. Only time will reveal who can really be trusted when your life is on
the line.
NTyse is a Dallas, Texas native and currently juggles her writing career with being a
full-time mother, wife, and filmmaker. Her name is an acronym for Never Tell Your
Secrets, which is the hidden message NTyse envelops within her taboo tales. She is the

The man might be the head of the family, but the woman is definitely the head of the house.
Pastor Margie has been doing just fine running her house, as well as the house of the Lord,
New Day Temple of Faith, all by her lonesome. As a matter of fact, her motto has been, I
can do better all by myself.
Well, certain members of the congregation beg to dier. Some of them have been nagging at
Margie for so long about finding a help mate that she just might be crazy enough to give it a
try. Once her congregation learns the method in which she goes about seeking a man for the
house, they might worry for her sanity. After all, a woman of the cloth would have to be
certifiably nuts to agree to go on a reality dating show in order to find a husband.
Margie assures her members that she will be just fine, because the Lord will guide her. That
may be so, but a former member comes across the miles to oer her help as well. Usually the
voice of reason who can speak truth and sense into any situation, even Mother Doreen might
not be able to handle this situation.
As Margie and Doreen navigate the pitfalls of reality television, will the voices of the
producers, production team, and not to mention the mensome of whom arent even
saveddrown out the voice of God?
