Silent Echoes
Something deadly waits in the shadows...
On a Texas night twelve years ago, Vic Vargas kissed Delaney West so deeply that she almost came
apart. Later that same night, evil crept into Delaney’s room as she slept – and everything in their world
fell apart. Now Vic is a rancher living a half-empty life punctuated by one-night stands and a strained
relationship with his 11-year-old son.
Then Delaney returns to San Julio, and the past comes rushing back... along with the silent echoes of
that night so long ago. Livestock are dying. Some say coyote, but others whisper another darker word.
Chupacabra. Bloodsucker.
The past hasn’t disappeared – nor has the instinctive desire that snaps and crackles between Delaney
and Vic. And as those emotions ignite, so does the evil that hibernated for the last twelve years. The evil
that waited for Delaney to return to San Julio... and to Vic Vargas.
Silent Obsession
Johanna Rios is a woman whose past has come back to haunt her.
The ghost of la Llorona is said to haunt the riverbanks, always searching for her drowned child. She also
haunts high school teacher Johanna Rios, whose own mother believed so deeply in the legend she tried
to drown her daughters. And now the ghost has become real, a young woman murdered, and the safe
world Jo created is falling apart.
Since returning home from his last tour of duty to become a school principal, Ray Vargas has fought his
attraction for his employee, the sensual woman who’d once been the girl next door. But the Llorona Killer
will not stop until he claims his final victim—Johanna—and Ray will do anything to protect the woman
he’s come to love.
With a serial killer out to prove the curse is real, will Ray and Johanna’s future be drowned in the ghostly
waters of the past? Or will the power of their love give them the strength to stop a killer...and heal their
wounded hearts...?
Melissa Bourbon, the author of the Magical Dressmaking Mysteries (A Seamless Murder, A Killing
Notion, A Custom-Fit Crime, Deadly Patterns), sometimes answers to her Latina-by-marriage name,
Misa Ramirez. She gave up teaching middle and high school kids in northern California to write full-time
amid horses and Longhorns in north Texas. She fantasizes about spending summers writing in quaint,
cozy locales, has a love-hate relationship with yoga and chocolate, is devoted to her family, and can’t
believe she’s lucky enough to be living the life of her dreams.
GUEST POST
A Bit About Me
I
have five children, and anyone who knows anything about daycare,
knows that by the time I had two, most of my salary as a middle
school English teacher went to daycare expenses. I did the most
logical thing—I stepped away from teaching to stay home with the
kids. I’d toyed with the idea of writing before that. This was
years ago, before Young Adult fiction had become a thing. I thought
I’d keep my brain actively engaged by writing something my students
would like reading.
I
wrote a book about a classroom of students who are all on task at the
same time. Shocking! It causes a time travel episode, taking them all
back to Ellis Island where they have to make their way through in
order to get back to the present. I still love this book, though it
resides only in a file now.
Fast
forward six years and three kids later. My writing had ebbed, but I
was ready to get back to it. I started with a character. Before long,
there was a family, a setting, and a mystery. That became my first
published book. I’ve always written mysteries, but longed to delve
into stories that were a little darker. I’m fortunate to be able to
write full time now. Those darker stories came in the form of Silent
Echoes and Silent Obsessions (combined in the Deadly Legends boxed
set) are those books. They are based on urban legends I have always
been fascinated with. I hope you’ll find them interesting, too!
