Synopsis

EMBER’S FLAME

"He could focus on her intelligent conversations and the way her aqua blue eyes lit up when they were amused and turned almost gray when they were sad. It was easier to admire the strength she carried in her soul and the light she carried in her walk. Now, seeing her in five inch heels and hot pants…"

Ember Ty is majoring in journalism. Graced with stunning looks, she finances her studies by dancing in a strip club. She has a hot boyfriend in a rock band, a future writing about the music world, and yes, she’s working hard to achieve it.

But it all starts to go wrong. There is a predator on the loose, and Ember is sucked into a nightmare that none of us would care to dream, let alone live.

Vulnerable and threatened, Ember is drawn into a love triangle that might never have been, with the man she is to marry and the man she knows she can never have.

Chapter 1

"Fake!!! Fake!!! Fake!!! Why do they always end up fake?!!" The screeching voice reverberated off the canyon walls as the knife sliced into the soft flesh of the blonde s bared breasts. Her inanimate body slammed into the hard-packed earth with each frenzied thrust. Her glazed eyes stared vacantly into the blackness, no longer seeing, as the crazed man she had so foolishly trusted continued his maniacal hacking.

Finally spent, he sat back on his haunches, his scrawny body dripping with the blood he had so carelessly spilled, and watched as the bloody and lifeless body thumped back onto the chaparral.

"Why Dixie?" the man heaved. "Why do you girls always end up being just another plastic surgeon s hack job? Why are you always so phony?" He kneeled forward gazing at the mutilated body of the young beauty and sighed. "You really had potential, Dixie. Such a shame," he muttered, wiping the back of his hand across his face, smearing the coagulating ooze along his cheekbones. He stood, wiping the blade of the knife on his jeans. "See ya, Dixie," he mumbled, turning and hiking back up the rugged terrain to his Mercedes and into the darkness of Mulholland Drive.
