It's almost here! I was out of town last weekend so I missed an installment, but we're back on track this weekend. Winding down to the June 1st publication date. I think it's time to start giving away some copies so watch Goodreads and this blog if you are interested in winning a copy of Stutter Creek. Of course, I'm always interested in having some reviews ready when it releases, so if you would be interested in reviewing a copy, just let me know by email or in the comment section. =)
Now, on to this week's EIGHT! Beth had been dreaming about her family when a long, black shadow fell over the scene. Here's where we pick up:
She had finally fallen asleep. But even the
sleep-aid hadn’t been able to protect her from the dream. Every time she closed her eyes, the blackness came
and swallowed her family. She was reminded of her grandmother and how the
elderly woman had often suffered from bad dreams and what she’d referred to as
“visits.”
Beth had always thought the woman was a little
off, until her grandfather had passed away, that is. Then she had experienced
such a clear vision of him standing at the end of her bed, waiting to say
goodbye, that she had never doubted her Grandmother’s stories again. When she
had mentioned it to her Gran, the older woman had simply hugged her and with
tears in her eyes, she’d said, “Your momma, she got visits, too.”
She hadn’t really
known how to respond to that; her mom had died in a car wreck shortly after
Beth was born.
Okay, folks, that's all for this week. Now skip on over to the wewriwa.com website and check out some AWESOME authors! Until next week...cheers!

Sounds like an interesting set up - generations of women who were blessed or cursed by seeing those who had passed on - I am intrigued. Thanks for sharing. I loved your 8.
Beautiful, Ann. In depth eight of what she's experiencing now.
Great eight! Oh the visits ... know them well!
This snippet certainly piqued my curiosity. Wishing you success with the release, Ann.
Love the dreams, Ann. Congrats on the upcoming release. The book cover is lovely.
LOVE this, can't wait to see where the plot will take her. Excellent excerpt!
So I wonder who will visit her next?
Terrific installment- leaves me very curious. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Elaine. Now if I only knew why part of it appears in a different color. LOL. I tried to change it and it refuses! Grrrr.
Thanks so much, Charmaine. I appreciate it.
Yes, you would, kiddo! Thanks. =)
Thanks, Denise!
Thank you. I thought Viola did a lovely job on the cover, too.
Thanks, Veronica. I hope you like the plot twists along the way. =)
You're on the right plot path, Cara. =)
Thanks, Summer!
Intriguing! And so sad about her family. And now she's getting "visits" like her mother...
I can do without those types of visits. Great 8.
Yep--now she's getting the visits.
Uh-oh, sounds like you speak from experience!
Enjoyed the snippet, and I absolutely adore your cover! Congratulations on the upcoming release!

I love how you really hooked me in with the emotions in this snippet! :)
I'm glad she has someone who can reassure her about the "visits," so she doesn't feel like there's something wrong with her.
Great snippet! Looks like a story right up my alley.
So the visions run in her family - it will be interesting to see if the fact her mother is dead will play a role in what happens...
Thanks, Lauren. Glad you were hooked.
I love the way you think, ED!
Oh, I hope so! More next week. =)
Thank you ... I hope you return to find out. =)
