That's because I came up with the idea for this book in the early 90s. Creating all of the characters, scenes, and adding details challenged me more than any of my other books. I love writing, but generally don't go into as many details as I normally could. I hope you enjoy this short story. It's a fast read but will keep you engaged all the way through.

Three Rules by Marie Drake is an emotionally charged mystery that will truly touch your heart and cPowerfully Suspenseful, Emotionally Charged Mystery
Three Rules by Marie Drake is an emotionally charged mystery that will truly touch your heart and challenge your mind. A fiction suspense thriller based on deep seated emotions, you can't help but feel the pain Hope Wellman is forced to contain inside of her for over eight years. The story shows how vulnerable and utterly horrifying a child's life can be when there is a member of the family who abuses that child in ways you can only imagine and use fear to keep the child from telling.
The emotional roller coaster of a life for Hope reaches both ends of the spectrum all in the same breath. One minute she is the happiest girl on earth, the next she is lost in the terror built within and around her through years of unimaginable sexual abuse by her step-father's half-brother, Lucas.
When Lucas Wellman disappears in a boating incident and his body is never found, Hope thinks she can finally find closure for the years of horror she endured. Though she has a sense of relief that her tormentor will never touch her ever again, she is haunted by every sound and shadow; Hope can't escape the thought of what Lucas has done to her and that he may still be out there.
After her best friend, Joey, gets attacked, a good friend attempts suicide, a couple of notes bearing the words "a promise is a promise" (something Lucas had often told her), and two cufflinks bearing the initials L.W. mysteriously show up, the nightmares get worse.
When Lucas shows up at the cemetery where Hope is trying to find her suggested closure and it seems like the typical path for the book is about to come full circle, the real action begins and the perfect twist in the plot happens which you will never see coming.
The deeply emotional feelings portrayed throughout the story and the powerfully suspenseful plot are perfectly written into a non-stop thriller you won't want to put down. It is very organized, well written, uniquely original, and the perfect story for suspense mystery lovers. ...more
Desire and Prejudice is about the healing powers of true love and the damning powers of cultural prejudice. It is oneThe Best Book I’ve Read All Year!
Desire and Prejudice is about the healing powers of true love and the damning powers of cultural prejudice. It is one of the most moving romance stories I've ever read. When two people are drawn so passionately to each other from first sight, entirely from the heart, nothing else in the world seems to matter.
PTSD comes in many shapes and forms. It can come from the shock of physical violence or from emotional violence. People with PTSD often hide their condition with people they are around all of the time, and while holding in their insecurities, they shy away from the real life that awaits them. Trying to trust again is difficult, especially when hurt by a loved one. There is always the thought of the same thing happening all over again.
When Jasmine and Adam first meet, they are both totally caught by surprise; their inner feelings are the magnetic force that draws them to each other. Their burning desires toward one another are unstoppable, but they are doomed by their separate lives - he is a French official and she is a Muslim.
They find ways to be with each other when they couldn't. The poetic letter writing is brilliantly written and it takes the reader into the minds of two lovers desparately wanting one another, but each holding back because of their cultural backgrounds and the fear of getting caught in their dangerous game.
This is one of the best books I've read this year. The hope that Jasmine and Adam will find a life together throughout the book kept me excitingly wanting more until the end. ...more
