Synopsis:
What if writing a book brought a serial killer to your back door
and you had no one to call for help.
A TV sitcom pitch gone wrong at a writers’ convention turns
dog-column writer Susan Meyers in a tailspin. Sex Sells was the topic of the
day. Worried her writing style had become stale, Susan decided to try something
new. A steamy romantic novel seemed just the answer to bring in a new audience.
Susan, a widow who had not dated in three years, was out of
practice with men and sex. She turned to an online dating site to find
inspiration for her book and unleashed a predator with the words she wrote.
Tucked an hour away from her friends in a small town where she kept to herself,
with only her tiny dog for company, Susan felt safe from the world. Little did
she know her life was about to change.
Danger
In Her Words
is a book within a book. There is Susan’s story and the book she is writing,
where you meet Jamie, a widow like Susan who has also been out of the dating
scene. Your character takes you on your
journey. Susan heard that about writing fiction and quickly discovers it is
true. Jamie has a mind of her own and Susan is dismayed as her novel takes some
surprising turns. Jamie knows she wants a relationship, Susan still has that to
learn about herself. Both find themselves in harm’s way as romance comes
close.
Set against the background of a fictional country town an hour
outside of Atlanta, Georgia, Danger In
Her Words is full of farmhouses,
antiques, girl-talk, a touch of murder, a sprinkle of suspense, a bit of naughty
fun, and a dog that will steal your heart.
Two
widows looking for love in all the wrong places might still get it right if they
live long enough.
