ABOUT THE BOOK
Wrong Girl Gone | BUY BOOK
“Audrey Wilson’s debut is a tightly written suspense novel that showcases her skills as a first-rate storyteller. I read it straight through, captured by the smooth prose, twists, escalating danger, and explosive climax.” – Libby Fischer Hellmann, Bestselling Author
It’s late in the summer of 1989 and the body of twenty-two-year-old Joy Elliot Larson is about to be discovered on the bank of the Kawanee River. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
As a young mother living in her small hometown of Jasper, Mississippi, Joy lives paycheck to paycheck with her son, Jerry, and alcoholic husband, Carl. After enduring years of Carl’s abuse, Joy reaches her breaking point when she discovers a large stash of money he’s been keeping from her. With the encouragement of her twin sister, Joy takes the money, packs up Jerry, and goes on the run, determined to get as far away from Carl as possible. But Joy is not alone. Someone is following her. And it’s only a matter of time before Joy will have to fight for her son… and her life.
Only Human | BUY BOOK
A mystery-woven love story.
“Only Human explores first love, second chances, a tinge of sci-fi, and ultimately the lesson that sometimes it doesn’t matter how someone came into your life, but that they’re in it.” – Chandra Claypool, Where the Reader Grows
Have you ever had a crush? Have you ever had a crush so astronomically huge you were willing to tell the person anything to make them fall in love with you? If you’re Annalise Dresden, then the answer is yes. Yes you have. And you’re in way over your head.
Before Frankie, Leece was like any other girl in her mid-twenties – a pre-med student with unreached potential, too much debt, a drinking problem, and no memory of her life before her nineteenth birthday. Alright, maybe she wasn’t like any other girl, but still. Her life was somewhat normal. But Frankie changed everything. Frankie, the simple girl with the first crush eyes, working at a discount store in Northwest Indiana after dropping out of college. Frankie, who somehow changed Leece’s whole life with a single look.
Even though the two women can’t be more opposite, Leece feels a connection to Frankie unlike any she’s felt before, compelling her to tell Frankie lie after lie to try to win her over. But when Frankie suspects Leece might not be exactly who she says she is, their relationship grows rocky. Plagued by visions of her sketchy past, Leece must figure out who she really is before she loses everything she loves, including Frankie.
