Former
Army Captain, Frank Atherton, has left the dangerous life of a
soldier behind. Retired from the military, he now works in a large
nursing home facility, as assistant director. Things are pretty
quiet, until the annoying blister of a man, Ralph Penwarren arrives,
doing his best to break into his mother's apartment. Soon after his
arrival, Frank meets the lovely new psychiatrist on staff, Marka
Ventimiglia, who takes his breath away. Their relationship seems to
be moving swiftly ahead, until Ralph Penwarren is seriously injured
by a bad fall. If that weren't enough, Frank's office is trashed, his
car vandalized, and a dead man is found in the ravine behind his
house. Are the incidents related, or simply a series of alarming
coincidences?
Dellani
Oakes makes her home in Florida, but she grew up in Western Nebraska.
Before that, she had lived in four other states. Since then, she has
added two more, giving her a unique perspective on life. Always a
people watcher, Dellani put that talent to use when she became an
author.
Bitten
by the writing bug early in life, Dellani first pursued poetry as her
medium of self-expression. Soon, she moved on the song parodies and
then short stories and humorous essays. Once she got to high school,
it became apparent that she needed to learn to spell when she got a
paper back from her English teacher, “For content – A+. For
mechanics – F.” That comment changed her life, forcing her to
focus as much on how she said things as what she said.
Dellani
took up writing full time when her youngest son started kindergarten
in 2002. Since then, she has published sixteen books. Her five
romantic suspense novels are with Tirgearr Publishing. Eleven other
books ranging from historical romance to sci-fi, round out her resume
of published works. She has also contributed to several anthologies.
