Welcome Linda Hall

Please welcome fellow author, Linda Hall, talking this week about her new LI Suspense, Shadows At The Window, which earned Top Pick from Romantic Times Book Club Reviews


Hi Linda, tell us about SHADOWS AT THE WINDOW.

Shadows at the Window is the second in my "shadows" trilogy. The women in these series of books must deal with and work through the ‘shadows’ in their pasts before they can make peace and find love in the present.

In the first of the series, Shadows at the Mirror, the main character doesn't know anything about her past. It’s a mystery she must uncover.

In this release, Shadows at the Window, main character Lilly Johnson knows her past all too well, and it's one she'd rather forget. Because it's so abhorrent to her, she's made up a series of lies that she tells her fiance.

But, the past has a way of catching up with the present, and when people in her past show up, her first inkling is to run. But, that would mean leaving everything behind, and that's something she's not willing to do now.

Sounds great!
