TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INSITE INTO THIS BOOK BEFORE WE MEET THE AUTHORS, HERE IS A SNIPPET AND FUN FACT ABOUT: ReflectionBy Terra Luft

Excerpt:

Heart racing, and breath ragged with excitement, I dropped to my knees in front of the puddle and

paused. Ghosts hid in reflections. They waited to steal your soul.

Interesting author tidbit:

This story has a special place in my heart for many reasons. My love of writing originated with

my Mom who was an avid reader. Ironically, she lost her life to the effects of diabetes six

months before my first story was published in a collection whose proceeds will benefit the fight

of this terrible disease. I am honored to be part of such a worthy cause.

ANGELA HARTLEY spent much of her childhood being shuffled from house to house with only books for companionship. The magic she found in the written word saved her in many ways, transporting her into worlds far more enjoyable than the one she resided in. Literature became a passion and the idea of writing carried her through years of uncertainty. Following her father’s tragic death in 2005, she decided it was time to let go of the past and pursue her dreams. With the love and support of her family, she’s built worlds of her own full of procreating angels and demon rock stars. Her debut New Adult horror novel, Copper Descent, was released through Fox Hollow Publications in May 2014. Angela currently resides in Midway, Utah with her three children and husband.
