    About this ebook

    College professor Alicia Jenkins thinks her painful past is behind her, but someone from her past has found her—and wants her dead. More than that, the old enemy wants Alicia’s new life totally destroyed before killing her. But like the mythical Phoenix, Alicia is stronger than she was in her previous life. Frightened? Yes, but she is a fighter. Still, how can she defeat an enemy made of shadow instead of substance? Who will believe her?

      It Happened to Me…

      Jan 5, 2022

      I too have experienced ‘The voice of authority’ [FT410:75]. When I was younger, I had a romance that lasted about six months. At first it was terrific, then it wasn’t, then it ended. Nothing drastic. Several months later, I had a day off work. I had

      It happened so long ago you’d think I’d just forget it. But I haven’t, I can’t; it’s nested in my mind, coiled and twisted into my memory like a serpent I can’t get rid of. I remember it at odd moments: when I’m eating breakfast or riding the train t
