First brief glimpse of Deceived

Deceived 2

Blurb

A girl who’s trying to cope with the murders of her mother and 5 year old brother.
A journalist who is chasing the ghost of a long lost serial killer.
A teen who murders her parents.
And a revenge-driven psychopath who is about to destroy everyone’s life.

A psychological-thriller that weaves it’s way through the sadistic past of a traumatised child to the web of dark secrets of a beloved father.

Excerpt

I slowed down to a stop, bent on my knees and started to take in big gulps of air. I tried to listen for footsteps over the loud pounding in my head but I heard nothing.

A flood of relief washed over me and I sighed. I was alone.

All of a sudden I felt that someone was standing right behind me. I felt a warm breath on the nape of my neck and started to turn around when something heavy hit my head. I started to hear a distant echo in my head and fell on the wet ground. It was still raining. The world started to blur and it was painfully difficult to keep my eyes open. I could feel something warm around my cheek, blood.

And it was just before I closed my eyes that I heard that stone-cold voice “You are not alone.”

***

This is the first time that I’ve shared something from inside the book and it feels like I’m showing you guys the face of my own child! *tears of joy*

I really hope that you guys like the blurb and the excerpt.

Please feel free to voice your opinions.

Note: This is not necessarily the final thing. But for now it is.

Have a great day everyone. 🙂

Ciao ❤

    • Thanks a lot, Hemangini. This is the one from my earlier drafts. I’ve edited it (almost 5 times since.) I’ll be sharing the fresh prologue very soon, probably Feb’16.
      I’ll be sending my book for professional editing this month so by March I can share the excerpts also.
      Hopefully by July my book will hit the market.

      • wow… Its awesome to see that your book is going to be published!! I can’t imagine how thrilled you must be! I can imagine how you must have worked like crazy on the book… It’s like having your first child!! haha now I am going overboard maybe but when my sister was pregnant I kept telling her, there’s a miracle in your tummy and she used to laugh and say well that’s one tough miracle!!

        I am going to read your book for sure honey. Waiting for the new excerpt then 🙂 All the best girl ^.^

        • Thanks a lot, Hemngini! And yeah, it was one hell of a tough child for me too!!!
          As they say, writing a book is indeed like bleeding on a typewriter (or Macbook in my case.) If it wouldn’t have been for JuNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo, I would have been still sitting with my first draft.
