Joya Fields was very excited to be featured on our Blog once again.And we are glad to have her,the feeling is mutual =). Ms.Fields has given us an excerpt to her Novel "Hereafter" for our readers to check out,along with a giveaway.
Excerpt for HEREAFTER:
Angel’s body tingled. Her skin rippled with electricity, and she
recognized the signs that she’d be transported soon.
Yes. Finally. She closed her eyes, wishing she could rush the
transition from her world to his. Cool air prickled her skin and she
stood in the man’s dark apartment. With moonlight shining through
the sheers, she could make out his form on the sofa.
He jumped up and faced her.
She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t.
“The electricity went off again,” he said.
She frowned.
He stepped closer. “Ghosts don’t exist.”
No. He couldn’t banish her again. She needed something in this
world. The lights flickered, sizzled, and then went off again.
Please don’t tell me to go away; it makes me go away. She
might not have a voice in this world, but she could at least think
it. She would not go, not when potential answers waited in this
place.
The man stepped closer. “What are you doing? Angie, why do you keep
coming here?”
Don’t tell me to leave…don’t tell me to leave. Pictures
flew into her mind. People smiling and laughing. A tree in the corner
with white lights and boxes under it….
He’d called her Angie.
“You know me?” Her words came out a whisper, but at least they
finally came out. Tears tracked down her cheeks. The electricity
flickered on, and then, stayed off. The air stopped sizzling. She
blinked to adjust her eyes to the darkness again.
“Christ, this can’t be happening.” He moved his fingers over
something in his hand and then pocketed it.
She closed the distance between them and grasped his upper arms,
pleading him with her eyes because her voice had left her again.
“Yes, I know you.” He glanced away and looked out the window, let
out a huff of breath, and then gazed at her. “Your name is Angie
Barsotti and you used to live here.”
No wonder the place felt so familiar. Her spirits lifted. He could
help her find out who she was, help her find out what was going on.
“And,” he dragged a hand through his hair. “You died and I
don’t believe in ghosts.”
Cold air, cold as ice tore through her, ripping her from the
apartment.
