Here in Texas, spring is in full bloom. The wildflowers are
popping up in the pastures and along the roadways. The trees are green again.
New life is springing up everywhere.
This is one of my favorite times of the year. The famous
Texas humidity hasn’t made an appearance yet. The days are warm and the
evenings cool. Perfect.
It’s the time for new beginnings and I have a brand new
release out this month entitled Past Sins. This is the third book that
takes place near the fictional town of Soaring Eagle, Wyoming.
In Past Sins, FBI Agent Samantha Morning Star barely
survived a serial killer’s knife when the Night Slasher captured her, intent on
making her his next victim. Samantha’s narrow escape still haunts her, sending
her fleeing to the one place where she has always felt safe. The Durante
Mountain Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Northern Wyoming. But Samantha’s past
sins are all there waiting for her. The young boy she once loved and left
behind is now all grown up and the chief of police for the reservation.
Chief Zack Standing Elk can’t believe it. The woman who tore
his hearts to shreds is back. But Samantha isn’t the same person she once was
when she left the reservation behind after her grandmother’s death, insisting
that he not wait for her. Samantha is one troubled soul. It isn’t long before
he realizes the reason behind the fear in her eyes, when the killer who took
her hostage follows her to the Cheyenne reservation determined to claim her as
his once more.
With the clock ticking on the Night Slasher’s latest victim,
Zack’s past sins come back and haunt him as well. Can he find out the Slasher’s
true identity before he takes another innocent life? And will he be able to
stop the killer who is coming after Samantha full force?
Publishers Weekly Bestselling Author Mary Alford grew up in
a small Texas town famous for, well not much of anything really. Being the baby
of the family and quite a bit younger than her brothers and sister, Mary had
plenty of time to entertain herself. Making up stories seem to come natural to
her. As a pre-teen, Mary discovered Christian romance novels and knew
instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination.
She wrote her first novel as a teen, (it’s tucked away somewhere never to see
the light of day), but never really pursued her writing career seriously until
a few years later, when she wrote her first Christian romance and was hooked.
Today, Mary still lives in Texas, and still writes about romance. In fact, she
can’t think of anything else she’d rather do. Learn more about Mary Alford at:
