Book Description
THE old lady was a most amusing creature, and she had a past which was a record amongst pasts. Only that she was rich enough to buy the whole district, its “society” would have “cut” her long ago; as it was, people only talked about her with meaning looks and whispered condemnation. At least, the generation to which she belonged did that; the younger one only looked and wondered. Bent with rheumatism, bushy-browed., fierce-eyed and hard- featured — there remained no trace of the beauty and charm which (so report said) had sent more than one good man to the devil. On sunny days she would have her chair moved on to the wide, vine-sheltered verandah. She liked to see what was going on; and she said that in Australia most things happened on verandahs. This particular one had been planned and built in early pioneering days, and had, no doubt, seen many ups and downs of varied incident. One could listen to her by the hour when she was in the vein for remembering pages from her own life or from other lawless lives of early days, when all country west of the station was unknown Australia. Like most old people, she was given to repetition, but she told me a story once which neither I nor anyone else could ever induce her to tell again.

Book Description
Book 2 in the TELLING Series. It is often quiet in the dark but when it’s too quiet, fear can push men to madness. Fergus is no stranger to either, having survived both. He was a ‘Charmer,’ a healer, that some called a wizard but when he couldn’t save a child, they called him a witch. Because he was different… not the full size of a man, nor was his skin the shade of those who could so readily cast stones, they set upon him. And he burned for it… There are truths hidden within myths and legends, but not all are mired in atrocity, some are soaked in the blood of horrors. His connection to one man brought him to crossroads and regardless of the direction chosen, the destination will be the same… Chuartan’toll. His connection to a curse sees his fate shrouded in madness. But Death's connection to him, makes him a pawn in a plan, one that will bring him to darkness… unleash a darkness… upon us all. You will soon hear…

Now nearly five years sober, Mac is slowly rebuilding his life. He’s got his badge back and a newfound purpose: to help his partner find the man stalking and threatening her. It’s his job, yes—but there’s more. An attraction to Jade and her sweet son making Mac feel alive again. But will a secret rock Mac’s tenuous hold on sobriety?
