Swallowed Ashes Victoria's Journey

By Meredith Baldwin

Swallowed Ashes is told in the 1st person by a young lady named Victoria. She just finished high school and is soon going off to college. Besides working her bum off at the diner and indulging her best friend Piper, Victoria is psyching herself up to ask out the love of her life. She feels the timing is finally right. They are going to the same college after all. Things are going in the right direction.
That is until she becomes possessed!
On a warm August evening Victoria goes for a swim alone. A situation occurs and she chokes on lake water, unknowingly swallowing ashes of the newly deceased Natalie Knight. I know, it's hard to believe! The 14-year-old Natalie is certain she was murdered-but just has to find out by who and why?
Along the way Victoria keeps her possession a secret, which is hard to do when you have someone constantly talking in your head! Together they encounter Natalie's mom, theories, Natalie's best friend Andrea-who isn't too forthcoming, a huge town event: the bonfire where Victoria speaks with a psychic, a scary shed that holds the best evidence of all AND....
I won't tell you the rest!
Swallowed Ashes is a fun adventure for all, filled with thrilling experiences and comical and quirky conversations. There's adventure, sisterhood, mystery, comedy, young love and of course Friendship.
I hope you get a chance to check it out! Thanks so much!

I wait quietly, not knowing how he meant that.
He turns his face back towards the small fire. I see something glisten in his hand. It looks like an earring. The very match to the earring in my pocket. The earring of my newly dead friend, Natalie Knight. The fear taking over, I turn and start running. I hear him get up to run after me...
