Grandma’s Little Secret
When imaginative eleven-year-old Emma and her parents and friends go to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest during the summer of 1985, she thinks it’ll be a normal family vacation.
But when she starts dreaming of her loving Grandma Virginia killing people, she realizes there’s more to the sweet matriarch than she thought. And when she has a premonition that her grandmother intends to kill her husband, she knows she has to take matters into her own hands.
When she foils Virginia’s first plan to murder Grandpa Roy, Emma becomes a target herself.
Allied with her friends, Emma must differentiate between make-believe and psychic visions to try to save both her grandfather’s life and her own.

When Natalie isn’t working, reading, taking care of two kids and two dogs with her husband, she sacrifices even more of her sleep in order to write. Letting passion be her guide, she has drafted over two hundred and fifty flash fiction pieces in fourteen months. Now she hopes to invoke passion in others.
Kelli (Veronica’s true name) has a deep imagination and a sail filled with ambition for the sea of opportunity ahead. As a teen, she loved consuming all media about far-off magical worlds. As an adult, she enjoys using her own spellbinding creativity to spin whimsical worlds and charming characters from thin air.
She is a proud Appalachian because you can take the woman out of the mountains, but you can’t take the mountains out of the woman. She now calls a quiet New England town home. When she isn’t crafting a story, she enjoys kitchen witchery, making art with her daughters, and making the everyday into an adventure with her spouse.
