Old Celvin is dead and Teddi Greison is reeling, though not from the loss of family. At the reading of his will, Teddi discovers that her father failed to transfer ownership of fifty acres of land she'd bought from him thirteen years ago. If she wants to keep the resort she's built from the ground up, she must take custody of identical-twin, seven-year old nieces she never knew existed, one of whom has psychological problems after witnessing her mother's murder. Topping it all off, Teddi must prove her brother, Austin, is innocent of murdering his wife. Teddi enlists the help of a seasoned private investigator, Camdan Layton, who is on a quest of his own. It's fairly obvious he's dangerous and big trouble. The question is: to whom? With his help, Teddi takes custody of the girls, reconciles with Austin, and finds a new lawyer to head up his appeal. When one of her nieces is abducted, Teddi leads the search in the forbidden caves below Freedom Bay and comes up against a ruthless killer. But there's more than death in those cliff-side caverns. While bringing her niece to safety, Teddi unearths a nightmare she thought had ended long ago.
About the Author: Donna M. Quick grew up in a small town in upstate New York located near Lake Ontario and has been writing since she was a child of four when she squiggled crayon lines onto brown-paper, grocery bags and then demanded that her older brother read her wonderful story back to her. As the youngest child of a very large family, there is always material to pull from dozens of friends and relatives and then mix it up to make grand family dramas. Donna earned a Bachelor of Science in Business, Management and Economics through SUNY Empire State College, and then honed her writing skills while earning a Masters in Fine Arts in Creative Writing from National University. Donna loves to read, especially Nicholas Sparks, Julie Garwood, Anne Lamott, William P. Young, and Jodi Piccoult. It is often through the words of other writers that birth is given to creativity and the understanding that a story does not need detailed sex, vulgarity, or explicit violence to be good. Donna's first book, Hallowed Illusions, is also about family drama and how people have tendencies to treat people badly who are different than they are, oftentimes ignoring their own shortcomings. Donna is ecstatic to be promoting Stolen Sunrise, and is currently working on her next book while developing characters and outlines for future books. Donna currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her faithful dog, Lady, and enjoys time with family and friends, live jazz-band music, hiking, the sun, and every possible moment giving praise to God.
