Good morning all. Today I will be posting about my crime anthology, “Flagitious”. I will be awarding two lucky people who comment each a paperback or PDF of their choice. Thank you and have a great day.
Blurb: “The Other Couple’s Child”
Charlotte had it all. A loving and devoted husband. Supportive family and friends, and a house full of beautiful children. Everything was perfect for this Super Mom, until a medical procedure turns her life upside down, and spirals into a child abduction case. Time is running out. Will police arrive in time to save Charlotte and the other couple’s child?
Excerpt: Charlotte was ecstatic as she was with each pregnancy. She called Jeff first, then her parents and made a special dinner for her and the kids to celebrate the good news.
That evening as Jeff drove home, he thought of how hard it was going to be on the kids, but especially Charlotte when she heard the bad news he received from Doctor Blackstone, earlier that day.
He walked into his home and saw the bliss on his wife and children’s faces. It broke his heart, and he decided to talk to Charlotte in private. The children would be told later. That night after the children were asleep, Jeff sat with his wife on the couch and shared with her the most unconceivable news he ever received. “I’m gonna came right out and just say it,” he said as tears swelled in his eyes. “The doctor telephoned me this afternoon, and he said another couples embryos were accidentally implanted inside you.”
Charlotte was speechless. She sat motionless as her husband’s words sunk into her mind. Did I hear Jeff right? she wondered. Is he playing a sick joke on me?” Bizarre thoughts of why her husband would say such a horrible and hurtful thing raced through her mind. She couldn’t think or breathe at that moment.
“Are you okay?” he asked noticing she was silent. “Did you hear me?”
She exhaled deeply. “What did you say?”
“There was a mistake during the medical procedure.”
“A mistake!” she screeched. She was livid. She paced the room seething in confusion. Tears streaked her cheeks. Jeff silently cried with her. “I’m pregnant! There’s no way out of being pregnant.”
“I know that. Let’s sleep on it and talk tomorrow.” Just then the telephone rang. Jeff answered it. “Yes I understand. I’m here with her now.” He handed his wife the receiver. “It’s your doctor.” He then walked away.

REVIEWS FOR FLAGITIOUS
PARANORMAL ROMANCE GUILD
5 Stars
Review: This anthology was wonderful. Each and every story was interesting and I read it in one day. Every story was different; the one thing they had in common was crime of one kind or another. I recommend this book, it was never boring.
MANIC READERS

Review: I would definitely say Flagitious is filled with suspense, intrigue and violent situations that will keep readers guessing until they turn the last page.
