Release Day!

Anyone else excited for the new Hillendale novel? Here's another sneak peek at ENCHANTED MEMORIES.

   “I’m not going in there,” she repeated.
   “Claustrophobic?” Becker asked.
   Madeleine folded her arms. She didn’t need some cop she didn’t know psychoanalyzing her, and after the disaster with her brother, she’d developed a healthy skepticism where police officers were concerned. If he had a hidden agenda, she didn’t want to be part of it. “Deputy Jakes was right. I don’t want to help. I’ll just see myself out.”
   His eyes flickered with surprise and his posture softened. “Wait.” 
   She raised her eyebrows, allowing him to continue.
   “There’s a coffee shop a couple doors down. We could go there.”
   She gave him a nod and followed him out, away from the memories, to the task at hand.
   “Why did you decide to track me down?” she asked.
   “You were recommended by the Woodrow PD.”
   Pat answer. Too pat. “What did you think when the Woodrow PD suggested a psychic?”
   He assessed her a moment longer, his eyes taking everything in from her half-moon earrings to her barely concealed tattoos to her ankle boots. Want a closer look? She took a step closer to judge his response. 
   No one was going to take what she wasn’t willing to give ever again. She’d learned how to deal with sleazeballs. Better to know where Becker stood before this went any further.
