GENRE: Paranormal
Suspense

Evil
comes in many forms…
One by
one, Laura Armstrong’s friends and adoptive family members are being murdered,
and despite her unique healing powers, she can do nothing to stop it. The
savage killer haunts her dreams, tormenting her with the promise that she is
next. Determined to find the killer, she follows her visions to the site of a
crashed meteorite in her hometown. There, she meets Ben Fieldstone, who seeks
answers about his parents’ death the night the meteorite struck. In a race to
stop a madman, they unravel a frightening secret that binds them together. But
the killer’s desire to destroy Laura face-to-face leads to a showdown that puts
Laura and Ben’s emotional relationship and Laura’s pure spirit to the test.
With the killer closing in, Laura discovers her destiny is linked to his, and
she has two choices—redeem him or kill him.

EXCERPT
The man could hear the child's bellowing cries
coming from underneath the blanket covering it. She pushed the child into his
arms as if eager to be rid of it. He took the bundle and handed the nurse his
packages. The nurse began to close the door when he heard another far away cry.
The man wedged his foot in the door. "What was
that?"
"N-Nothing." The nurse looked up.
The man risked looking her in the eye.
"The girl is in pain and won't keep
quiet." She clutched the envelope and folded her arms across her sagging
bosom.
"It sounded like another baby," he said.
"It's just the whimpering slut. Now she's paid
double for what she's done." The nurse took a step back as if aware she
had said too much already. She glared at him. "Now go on. You have what
you wanted. And so do I." She shut the door in his face.
The man in black stood there for a long moment,
considering the woman's choice of words. What if another child had been
delivered and the frigid woman and country doctor kept it secret?
Fascinating.
He decided to keep this information to himself. He
would find the opportune time to use it. He was a patient man. But first, he
had to see for himself. He peeled back the child's bunting and looked for the
first time into its yellow eyes. For that moment, the baby fell silent.
"Welcome to Earth X-10."
The baby resumed its wailing.
The man turned with his noisy package and melted
into the darkness satisfied, as the doctor had been, that the night's events
had provided him with more than he had asked for.
