Taunting Tara Excerpt


"No. No. God, No. What are you doing?" He faced pure evil, stumbled backward, his hand held out in defense. The shot rang out, the bullet plowed into his shoulder knocking him to the floor. He landed on his back, his head slammed hard against the stair rail and his world went black.

HIDDEN TALENTS


HIDDEN TALENTS
I am overloaded in talent. It's true. I just wish I was really excellent in at least one of them. I owned a candle company. I owned a jewelry company. I'm an author of mystery/romance novels. And, I've held down the same job in the Quality Department for 35 years. I've been married to the same man for 38 years.  So, I must be doing something right. Right?
So, why am I not rich and famous with Grammy awards, Writer's awards, Achievement awards or Business awards? Or even Wife awards?
Why do some people excel and others fade away? Why do some people have Opportunity knock them upside the head and say follow me while it only waves at others while passing them by?
Maybe because they have a true PASSION as much as talent. Maybe they grab Opportunity by the collar and say "You're staying with me, buster. And, we're taking this talent to the highest level."
So, what's the moral of my story?
Every person is talented in some or many ways. But, if you don't truly love and you are not passionate about what you do, don't expect anyone else to care, either.
I discovered a long time ago that writing and my family are my true passions. I may not win any awards or become rich, but that's okay.  I love writing as much as I love my family and I hope it shows in my work. I'm hoping you care and will love my hard, but fun work as much as I do. And, I hope you find your true talent hidden within your passion. Never give up. I won't.

Vanessa Wester - Emily Blitz Tour







Vanessa Wester




Vanessa Wester Biography

Vanessa developed her writing bug in 2010 and has not looked back since. Her main published work is 'THE EVOLUTION TRILOGY', which is comprised of HYBRID, her debut novel, followed by COMPLICATIONS and RETURN. The prequel to the Trilogy, EMILY, will be released on the 31st October, 2014, and is available for pre-order now.

In addition, she has written a novelette called FIRST DATE, which is based on her true story. She has also published, and included stories in, six anthologies to raise money for fantastic causes, such as Gurnard Primary School on the Isle of Wight.

Writing is one of her passions, reading the other. The day she decided to start writing her ideas down she found another way to lose herself in a book, whilst finding an outlet for her imagination. It is the best way she can think of to escape from everyday life. She is currently working on a historical fiction novel based on the life of her great, great, grandparents... and is finding the research fascinating!
