Swear On Her Life

Suspicion, secrets, and forbidden love cast dark shadows on the twitching curtains of respectable middle-class 1930s English suburbia. This short story and prequel (22,000 words) sets in motion the first devastating domino to fall in ten-year-old June Redfern’s life. After intentionally breaking her childish vow, the punitive consequences are both prophetic and horrifyingly literal. The dominoes continue to fall in the fast-paced, full-length follow–up novel, As Deep As Her Skin. June carries her dangerous and damaged psyche into adulthood, where it ticks away like a time bomb waiting to explode.
