The Prettiest Girl in the Land (The Traherns #3) (15 page)

He reached farther and farther into the darkness. Still
nothing. He reached out with a foot, then moved upright. Suddenly he was seeing
stars through the outlines of branches. He scanned the area around him. The
bushes. Water dripping from branches. Soggy soil.

Chest deep in the
ground? Why was that?

Riley lunged forward and rolled over, pulling the rest of
his body from the earth. He scrambled to his feet and glanced back. There was
no sign of a hole or disturbed dirt. His clothes were clean.

He shivered, but not because he was cold. In fact, he
couldn’t feel a thing. Habitually he reached for his gun and found it, then
realized the badge was missing. For a long time he stood staring at the ground
from where he had crawled. Then the rain came as if to answer a question that
he was afraid to ask. The rain came and the droplets fell, but he didn’t feel
them. They passed through him and hit the ground.

The spot of soil that mesmerized him, hid
his body. He was certain of that. There was one other thing he was certain of
—
he
wouldn’t rest until he found his killer

SISTERS OF
SPIRIT

The
Sisters of
Spirit
are a
group of girls who attended Virginia Tech around the same time and stayed in
the same dorm. The group was started by Stormy and Jo, and included mainly
western girls, although Jennel was an honorary member from Boston. Each has her
own story which can be read separately from the others. Also, a couple of their
friends, Mary and Alison, asked to be included in the series.  

Vol. 1 The Books of Moses  DVD
* 650
pictures covering the first five books of the Bible

Vol. 2 The Books of History  DVD
* 850
pictures from Joshua through Esther

Kindle
ebooks available for children:
The Creation
,
Noah’s Ark,
Ruth
, and two stories on Joseph.
I don’t plan to do too
many of these, as they are all available on the DVDs and are much more
entertaining that way. The Creation and Ruth costs more as I included all the
pictures from the DVD. Amazon will not let me charge less for large picture
files.

Nancy Radke
has always invented stories in her mind, even "watching" stories in
her dreams where she could control the characters and outcomes. She has turned
this talent into writing traditional romances and romantic suspense, with
plenty of plot twists. Born on a wheat and cattle ranch, she still surrounds
herself with animals and plants. Her family lives close by, so she enjoys her
grandchildren's sports and other accomplishments.

Lately she
has been working on the
"Show & Tell Bible,"
a children's picture Bible on DVD that she
wrote with her daughter. While waiting for the artists to finish drawing the
thousands of pictures needed, she plans to write more romances, which help fund
the Bible project. Also planned is
The Traherns
, a series of historical short stories, starting with
“The Handsomest
Man in the Country,”
 now available on Amazon. The box set contains an
exclusive, bonus story about Web and his wife.
