Today, join me in welcoming the beautiful and talented author Ann Swann to the blog. Not only is Ann an amazing author, she is also a fantastic mother and grandmother! Yup, she is my mommy!
Welcome Ann (er, Mom!) Give us the run down on your newest release, Lilac Lane, your suspense follow up to bestseller Stutter Creek.
Ella and son escaped
her ex's drunken wrath once. Now he's out of jail. Can they survive another
round?
He shattered
the old wooden door from the inside with one well-placed kick from his size
twelve boot.
The chair
was still beneath the knob, but the entire top panel of the door had
splintered. In the moonlight coming through the kitchen window, Ella could see
his massive silhouette.
With
another kick, the whole door disintegrated. Shards of wood flew in all
directions. The red kitchen chair went scooting across the floor until it hit a
piece of debris and flipped over on its side.
Sounds like a good one -- as usual! Where can readers grab a copy?

I hear you're working on a third installment in this series, Copper Lake. Care to share a bit?
Here is a snippet from Work in Progress: COPPER LAKE ~ Book Three in the STUTTER CREEK series
The
bones were wet. The clay in the soil trapped the moisture as efficiently as a
layer of mulch in a flowerbed. When Edgar held the femur up to the moonlight,
he was thrilled to observe how fully the dirt and mold had settled into the
cuts he’d made. It created an inky labyrinthine abstract on the once-white
surface. Ecclesiastes says there’s a time for everything.
I think the time has come.
He caressed the soil around the
bones, and then he pulled on latex gloves and lifted the rest of them from
their shallow bed. Time has come, he whispered. Time has come. He often repeated things to himself when his hands
were engaged in pleasurable activities—and this was the most enjoyment he’d had
in a long time.
