It is lovely to be part of the first day of the blog tour to celebrate the publication of A Mother's Sacrifice by Gemma Mitchell. I have a brilliant extract today to tempt you with and there is also a Giveaway to win (UK only) Details on how to enter are at the foot of the post.
God ensured she crossed my path. And that is why I chose
her.
The day Louisa and James bring their newborn son home from
the hospital marks a new beginning for all of them. To hold their child in
their arms, makes all the stress and trauma of fertility treatment worth it.
Little Cory is theirs and theirs alone. Or so they think…
After her mother’s suicide when she was a child, Louisa’s
life took an even darker turn. But meeting James changed everything. She can
trust him to protect her, and to never leave her. Even if deep down, she
worries that she has never told him the full truth about her past, or the truth
about their baby.
But someone knows all her secrets – and that person is
watching and waiting, with a twisted game that will try to take everything
Louisa holds dear.
If you enjoy a psychological thriller, this may be the book for you. Here's a short extract, to whet your appetite...
Extract
Climbing over the railings was somewhat fiddly, especially
while trying to keep hold of the baby. He squirmed beneath her, his podgy fist
grasping hold of her soaked auburn hair, yanking it down and almost pulling it
from its roots. She held tightly hold of the railing as she leaned over the
river, her arm twisted behind her at an uncomfortable angle. Her free hand
rested itself on the baby´s back, his warm body heating her palm.
The voices inside her head began to intensify, a choir of
heckles rising and falling in response to the conductor’s orders.
´Death! Where is your sting?´ Lifting her head up to the
night sky, she loosened her grip on the railing.
In a matter of seconds, it would all be over…
About the Author
Gemma Metcalfe is a Manchester born author who now lives in sunny
Tenerife with her husband Danny and two crazy rescue dogs Dora and
Diego. By day, Gemma can be found working as a Primary school teacher,
but as the sun sets, she ditches the glitter and glue and becomes a
writer of psychological thrillers. An established drama queen, she
admits to having a rather warped imagination, and loves writing original
plots with shocking twists. The plot for her debut novel ´Trust Me,´ is
loosely based on her experiences as a call centre operative, where she
was never quite sure who would answer the phone...
