The book Trisha s showcasing on the hunt is…
SWEET MADNESS

 
Sad young woman … or cold-blooded killer?
 
“A creative reimagining of the infamous Borden murders told from the POV of Lizzie’s Irish maid, Bridget Sullivan.”
 
The story of Lizzie Borden began on a hot August day in 1892, but it never really ended. Did the quiet, younger daughter of Andrew Borden murder her father and his second wife in cold blood? Supposedly, no one ever knew, but imagine if Lizzie had one true friend who she shared all of her dark secrets with … her family’s Irish maid, Bridget Sullivan. This is Bridget’s story.
 
EXCLUSIVE CONTENT



Now for the top secret Bonus Material….

The fascination surrounding the infamous Borden murders grows each year, but yet one questions still remains unanswered: did Lizzie Borden kill her father and stepmother that fateful day in August? Historians, ghost hunters, and criminologists have speculated as to Lizzie’s guilt, but no definitive proof was ever laid down, leaving us Borden enthusiasts to speculate. Curious as to who we “assigned” guilt to? Well, here’s a sneak peek at the ending scene of SWEET MADNESS; it may give you a hint!

 

The entire house seemed to hum with a dark energy. A wordless, soundless evil that swept up through the staircase and settled into every corner. It was a sinister calm…one that had me searching every second of the past week trying to figure out who and why someone would do this.

I was frozen in place, my feet melded to the top of the landing as my mind churned. I needed to get out of this house. I needed to run to Liam and never look back. Yet I couldn’t even muster the courage to speak, never mind move.

“Bridget?”

My eyes fixed on the front window, and I quickly tried to calculate the distance to the street below. It was the quickest way out. The only way out.

“Bridget.” There it was again, my name floating through the air, pulling at me to respond. I quickly tuned my head toward Lizzie’s room. If I could make my way through her room to Mr. Borden’s then I could use back staircase, hide out in the basement behind the coal bin until nightfall then slip out unnoticed.

I didn’t see her raise her hand, but seconds later, I felt the impact, the stinging burn blooming across my cheek. She’d hit me. Lizzie had actually hit me.

 

And don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books by me, Trisha Leaver, and more! To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 17! Add up all the favorite numbers of the authors on the red team and you'll have all the secret code to enter for the grand prize!

  4. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
