Book Two:
On the run from the Organization, Starr and Christian find safety on
the Qualla Boundary with their friends, Ben and Coda, but Starr needs answers.
She owes her dear dead friends, Sami and Jody, that much. She forms a team of
her own to fight the general and his recruits.
Di, a mutual friend and anti-everything is a no-brainer, plus her Taser
will come in handy. Frank,
Starr’s BFF, will put his life on the line for her. Ben and Coda, not to be outdone by Starr’s friends, also swear their allegiance. Christian’s the only hold out. He knows what the Organization is capable of. He has the beaten body to prove it, but when Starr wants something, she gets it.
Starr’s BFF, will put his life on the line for her. Ben and Coda, not to be outdone by Starr’s friends, also swear their allegiance. Christian’s the only hold out. He knows what the Organization is capable of. He has the beaten body to prove it, but when Starr wants something, she gets it.
Now that the team’s together, everything should be perfect. Trouble is
Starr loves Christian but so does Di. And Frank, well, he’s never been very
good at hiding his love for Starr. Will his four-year long crush on her
threaten the safety of the team?
Life becomes tense on the Qualla Boundary, sparks fly, and the
Organization is about to smash in their door.
EXCERPT:
1. Starr
He leans in to kiss me. I tilt my head up. Our lips are about to meet
when images flash before my eyes—white hair, haunting blue eyes, made for
pictures smile…. My eyes open wide. “Oh my god, Christian, I just remembered
someone from my grandparents’ house.”
He pulls his face away from me, his eyes wide. “Who?”
“Gimme a second.” I turn
the computer back on. I pace back and forth around the room as it boots up—the
WiFi is way too slow for my patience level. “I don’t know his name. I remember his face—his face was plastered all over
my grandparents’ wall. He held gold shovels and cut ribbons with my
grandparents.”
The Yahoo home screen comes to life. I click the headline section below
the newsreel until I get to the one I want. “That guy!” I point at the screen.
“That’s the guy!” I click on the picture so it takes up the whole screen.
“Jerry White, the pastor of the Jonathon Drive Church. I didn’t remember him
until I saw the picture.” I study the screen up close. “Who is the other guy
next to him?” I say more to myself than Christian. My eyes skim the headline
for the other man’s name.
Before I can read it aloud, Christian says, “That’s Samuel Langhorne,
the new governor of North Carolina.”
I’d be an idiot if I missed the bitterness in his voice. “Christian,
what’s wrong?”
“He won the election last fall after his Democratic opponent was killed
in a car accident.” Tears streak the sides of his face.
“Your dad.”
“My dad.”
About the
Author
Kim once smashed into a tree while skiing. The accident led to a concussion, a cracked sternum, temporary notoriety as a sixth grader returned from the dead, and the realization that fictionalized accounts are way more interesting than just slipping on the ice.
Kim once smashed into a tree while skiing. The accident led to a concussion, a cracked sternum, temporary notoriety as a sixth grader returned from the dead, and the realization that fictionalized accounts are way more interesting than just slipping on the ice.
An
unhealthy obsession with conspiracy theories combined with a love of travel and
happily ever afters led Kim to write her YA novel, Starr Fall, where a secret
organization decides Starr Bishop would make the ideal assassin. While in
hiding, Starr meets dark, moody, and dead sexy Christian Evergood. Cue the
swoon worthy music. But it’s not all happily ever afters for Kim, her NA novel,
And Then He, explores the dark and scary corners of the human psyche.
Following a night of innocent flirting with a handsome stranger, Tiffani finds
herself in the midst of a nightmare she can’t escape. And Then He is
available now through Amazon and other major book retailers. Starr Fall
released November 2016 with Inkspell Publishing. Starr Lost, Book Two of the Starr Fall Series, releases January 4,
2017. Starr Gone, Book Three of the Starr
Fall Series, will release June 2017.
When
she’s not doing something writerly, Kim can be found jumping into snow drifts
with her three kids, husband, and dog. She’s careful to avoid trees.
