About

I always knew writing was one of the things I wanted to do in life. What I didn't know was that it would take over and rule my every breath. I've more than once felt something akin to 'choking on a story' hence the quote: "I write because if I don't, my characters will murder me in my sleep."

Description

<p>FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES<br /><br />At barely nineteen, Angelica Donovan became one of the more successful winners of the T.V. show Our Next Super Model. The world assumed she was destined for a happy, fairy tale life as ‘Angel,’ the beautiful girl who was living the dream; sadly, that wasn’t to be the case. As the years passed, she flashed her million dollar smile to all her fans and fought to stay on top in a profession where you never knew who it was safe to trust while the fashion industry took big bites out of her heart and soul. And trust was a constant challenge for Angel due to the painful childhood secret she guarded as carefully as she did her heart. As a result, she never did find her true love on earth.<br /><br />When she wakes up ‘dead’ from a heart condition a month before her thirty-fifth birthday, Angel is at first relieved to find there is no death, just a change of state, like ice to water, and then she’s scared because her biggest and most important adventure is about to begin.<br /><br />Angelica is chosen to be an angel in training as a spirit guide for three souls on earth! Her assignment is to help two women to gain the courage and confidence to find, recognize and embrace the love that had eluded Angel in life. But her biggest challenge will be to save a very special little girl from the same evil experience that had poisoned Angel’s own earthly happiness and altered the course of her life.<br /><br />Will Angel be able to heal her own shattered soul in the process? And will the three souls she is guiding be able to recognize her, not as a ghostly threat, but as one of those ‘friends in high places’ we all have; the kind who often end up earning their wings.<br /><br /> </p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>&quot;[...], a well written book, with good characters, a lot of potential to be a great series and with an ending that leaves you wanting for more.&quot; - <i>Ruty @ ReadingDreaming</i><br /><br /> &quot;There is lots of intrigue and twists and turns along the way to keep the pages turning. A short, quick crime novel that I would recommend, I look forward to the next one.&quot; - <i>The Kindle Book Review</i><br /><br /> &quot;[...] amongst all the blood, guts, and intrigue, is an interesting question. Can you love someone who seems to be everything you are not and, if so, what might you do about it? A quick and enjoyable read that refused to follow the route I expected, zigging when I expected it to zag. - <i>BigAl from BigAl's Books and Pals</i></p>
