‘Lexi what’s
going on? Where’s Gabe? Where are we going?’ I suddenly felt sick again as I
searched her face. She looked on the verge of tears. ‘Lexi? Please tell me,
where’s Gabe?’
‘Mia there
was an accident outside, Gabe was hit by a car. He’s been rushed to hospital
and …………’
I watched
as her lips carried on moving. She was obviously still talking to me, but I
couldn’t hear a word she was saying. I thought she’d just said Gabe was hit by
a car.
I reached
out to touch the wall to anchor myself as I swayed. Gabe was hit by a car? I
felt the room spinning again. Gabe was hit by a car, no, no, no, no,
NO
.
It felt
like time had suddenly frozen, all sounds stopped as I felt my heart shatter
into a million tiny pieces and I sank to my knees, fell on all fours and vomited
again and again, retching until my stomach had nothing left to give up, I felt
as if I’d turned inside out.
I watched
the vile smelling, chocolate tinged liquid slowly spreading out across the old
black and white floor tiles as I felt Lexi’s hands rubbing my back, up and
down, up and down. Not Gabe, not
my
Gabe.
All of a
sudden sounds came rushing back into my ears and I heard someone screaming loudly,
high pitched and hysterical. It it took a moment to realise that someone was
me.
Thank you
all so much for coming back to carry on with their Mia, Gabe and Lexi’s story
and reading Forever and an Engine.

I would
like to thank all of my family, friends, fans and my cat for their continued
support, each of you totally rocks!
I also
couldn’t have made it through the writing process without copious amounts of my
favourite chocolate, pizza, ice cream, wine and cider. Writing should come with
a health warning, it can be extremely fattening to your health, especially when
you are sat on your butt all day with said calorific treats.
I would
also like to take a moment to thank two more people. Firstly the fabulous
Georgia Le Carre, author of the fantastic “The Billionaire Banker Series” who
has been in regular contact and very generously shared some of her knowledge
with me for which I am very humbled. If you haven’t read her books, I encourage
you to stampede to your computers, laptops, kindles or kindle reading apps and do
so now!
Also thanks
Georgia for putting me in touch with Kellie of Bookcovers By Design, who has
helped me come up with a theme for the whole six Austin series book covers, the
first two books have been relaunched in the new design, which I hope you will
all love as much as I do. The hearts are designed to reflect what is going on
in Mia’s own heart at any given point in each book. Please let me know what you
think, I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you
all so much and look forward to seeing you for the next chapter in Mia, Gabe
and Lexi’s lives!
