TRILOGY OF FICTION BOOKS

BOOK 1 – LIFE GETS COMPLICATED

Becky Wilson’s life as a book editor at a publishing company gets very complicated when her twelve-year-old daughter Sandy is attacked by a man who broke into their home. He attempted to rape the girl and as a result was killed by her enraged mother.

The police officer who investigates the crime, Sergeant Dan Jeffries, becomes very special to Becky and Sandy until complications in his life make it necessary for him to take over the major custody of his two-year-old son, Mike.

As a volunteer with Crime Stoppers, Becky presents talks to junior and senior high school students about drugs, cyber bullying and the danger of on-line paedophiles.

There are lots of twists and turns in this book, so get ready to climb aboard for the ride.

BOOK 2 – LIFE GOES ON

Becky and Dan Jeffries had just arrived home from their honeymoon when Becky realized that at the age of thirty-nine she was pregnant. She’d lost several babies prematurely during her first marriage, so this was a mixed blessing.

Their lives change, and Becky now works at home as a publishing editor. She discovers a new author that she’s sure will be a winner and possibly have her book about a battered wife made into a movie. She encourages the author to write two sequels to her first book.

One of Dan’s experiences on his job as a detective is frightening as he becomes involved in fighting a terrorist attack. Another case he investigates involves an elderly woman who is forced to defend herself. It turns out to be a rather amusing investigation.

Dan’s brother and aunt find living in Australia not the happy experience they expect, and his ex-wife Emily takes up painting and finds a new love.
