Genre: Thriller WPC Sarah Miles gets away to recuperate from her injuries (see Devine Retribution). She wants to take the time to decide her future and whether to allow a co-worker, John, into her life. Simple. Yet everything is against her. First, her violent ex-boyfriend discovers her location and begins stalking her. Second, she meets an older couple who are also taking time out to consider their future. Everett is an aging salesman who has been accused of killing his boss for his job and wife. Third, Sarah can't contact John. Nothing is as it seems, and nobody is as they seem. As Sarah becomes lost in a living nightmare from which she cannot escape, only her sense of survival can keep her sane and alive - until she runs directly into her sleeping nightmare. Sabre is a psychological suspense that builds to an unexpected and fast-paced climax. This is a stand-alone novel but the characters and events follows Devine Retribution, which is also a stand-alone novel. |

Author's Notes: I was not happy with Tim in Devine Retribution because he seemed too cliched. Building his character was great - somehow, it is far easier to fill out an evil person, probably because they have more excitement around them. Anyway, I wanted to show something farther from Hollywood and closer to real life. Although I had shoved poor Sarah into a corner in Devine Retribution, I wanted her to find resolution. She therefore became the heroine of Sabre. Various fears and phobias were now instilled in her mind, and I (sadly) harmed her further by building on these. She was single, and John had already shown that he liked her, so I could now give Sarah a romantic entanglement, with the associated problems. Her guilt about her rash actions in Devine Retribution, plus all the above-mentioned baggage in her life, meant she must get away to think, and to decide her future. And so, the stage was set for her next major problems. The rest simply fell into place as they lived their lives in my imaginary world. What better place than north-west Cumbria? Finding a quiet, barely-populated, area to think also leaves one far from help. Sorry, Sarah, for putting you through the mill again. |
