First Look: The Golden Spiral

golden-spiral-cover

His eyes. His touch. His kiss. Dante was unlike anyone Abby had ever met. Now he’s gone, and Abby will do anything to get him back…

 

The hourglass door has closed behind Dante, sending him back in time to hunt down Zo, Tony, and V. Abby knows that Dante, as a Master of Time, is the only one who can stop them from destroying time itself. She also knows that he will need her help. But almost immediately, things start to change and Abby’s worst fears are realized when Zo begins targeting her past specifically.

 

With each new change that ripples into her present, Abby’s life continues to spiral out of control. Her relationships with Jason, Natalie, and even her family, are threatened to the breaking point – and beyond. Zo’s power is greater than Abby ever imagined, and as she struggles to free Dante, she receives help from an unexpected – and unlikely – ally.

 

As Abby’s world fractures around her, she must face a terrible truth: either Dante didn’t make it through the door, or he is lost forever. So with Dante’s blueprints in hand, she begins construction on a new door, a new time machine that will either save Dante – or doom him.

 

The river of time is running wild, churning up secrets and betrayals, revelations and promises. With each new turn of the river, Abby faces a new challenge. Who can she trust? And how many more changes can she survive?

 

The bank is eroding, the barriers are thinning. And time is running out.

 

Watch for The Golden Spiral to be in bookstores in May 2010!

Ladies Night at Deseret Book

Saturday night was Ladies Night at Deseret Book and I was invited to the Layton store for a book signing with some other authors. It had been a long time since I’d been to a Ladies Night event and I was happily surprised at how many people came to the store. I was lucky enough to share a table with one of my favorite authors Josi S. Kilpack. We had a steady stream of people coming by to visit with us and talk about all things books with us.

 

There was definitely a party atmosphere at the store with balloons tied to chairs, door prizes, live music by Cherie Call, and bite-sized brownies available at every turn. I enjoyed talking to the customers, telling them about my book, and signing copies.

 

As the event wound down, and fewer people came by to look at our books, Josi and I were able to visit with each other about writing and publishing, work and family. I admire Josi; not only is she a talented author but she is also an amazing person, outgoing and friendly.

 

I had a great time and look forward to enjoying another Ladies Night party in April.
