Synopsis:
It’s been years since their parents were
murdered. Twin sisters Shia and Leigh are trying to readjust to life, while
caring for their baby sister Remi. With the exception of Leigh s angry,
dramatic mood swings every now and then, everything seems to be going great.
That is until Demetri; the mysterious stranger enters their midst, and falls
right in the path of the newly single Shia. After dating Trent for so long, she
is looking for a man to treat her like a queen, and Demetri is heaven
sent…until inexplicable things begin to happen. When one of her sisters goes
missing, and was last seen with Trent and Demetri, Shia suddenly realizes no
one is who they appear to be. The seemingly normal world she and her sisters
recreated is destroyed. Shia begins to realize that her parents’ past deeds are
coming back to haunt them all and no one can be trusted. It is unclear to Shia
which man truly has her best interest – and safety – at heart. Staring at the
wilted flower she calls life, she is slowly pulling back the layers to try to
understand if He loves me, he loves you not…
Excerpt:
“I love you so much that I hate
your ass now.” He said as a sole tear dripped down his face, “It wasn’t just
sex with me and you. It was love making no matter how cheap you tried to make
me feel.” His words were laced with heartfelt emotion as he pulled the
telephone cord tighter around her neck and watched her breathe her last breath.
Staring into her eyes as her life slipped away was an intimate bounding experience
for him. He felt closer to her now than he did the numerous times they had made
love.
Uncoiling the cord, he gazed down
in satisfaction admiring his work. Her lifeless face stared back at him. She’d
never looked more beautiful than she did right now with her blue and black
bruised body lying on the floor. Giving her a proper farewell, he picked her up
off the floor and kissed her lifeless lips, wishing she had made the right
decision that could have led to hot sex with each other on an isolated island
somewhere.
Placing her motionless body next
to her husband’s, he was finally glad to be done with her and her lies. How
dare she think she could tell him the truth after all this time and walk away
from their arrangement as if it never happened? As if what they’d shared hadn’t
been real or good enough in her eyes? He wanted to dedicate his life to her and
make it work. Living in her world more than he lived in his own with his wife,
she still hadn’t felt that he’d been worthy of all of her, where they could
leave their inconvenient marriages behind and be as one together. She’d been
selfishly trying to have it all, him and her own family. He’d never thought in
a million years that she wouldn’t choose a life with him. He’d thought what
they shared was more special than what their spouses were giving them.
Gazing down at her husband’s
lifeless body, he felt like he had done them both justice. Now, her husband no
longer had to be enslaved with her lies either. He set them all free. Smiling
as he grabbed the gas can and drenched the room with gasoline; he was extremely
pleased with himself. Lighting a cigarette, he relished in the calmness of the
night, immune to the dead bodies lying around him. There would never be another
woman whom he would allow to get to him like this one did. Never. Taking one
last puff off his cigarette, he began his retreat towards the door, stopping
only to light a match and flick it behind him in the darkened room. As he made
his exit into the eerily still night, not even the moon illuminated the dreary
sky. All that could be seen, in the distance, was the solitary house going
ablaze.

Get to Know Mychea:
1. What motivates you to write?
I am motivated from within. Since
I was a little girl I enjoyed writing and illustrating short stories. I had
amazing teachers long the way that helped me to develop my natural talent even
further and I can never thank them enough. I am also motivated by what I see
and hear every day. I can honestly say that some experiences that I go through
and my friends go through do help me to come up with ideas for my story.
2. What long term goals do you
hope to accomplish through writing?
I would love to have a production
company one day that will help bring to life writers and directors visions
through, television, movies and theatrical productions. I believe that writing
will also help to open doors for me to branch out with my brand identity to
launch new charities to help literacy awareness.
3. Do you see yourself turning
any of your books into a movie?
Yes. I would love for all of my
books to be turned into movies one day. Currently I do stage plays based off of
my books, but having them shown on the big screen is definitely one of my
goals.
4. Are you an independent author?
If not, how did you get linked with the publisher you are with now?
I began as an independent author
in January 2010; however that changed mid-2012 when I became an author under
Good2Go Publishing. Through networking this publishing company heard of me and
contacted me about being an author with their company. I am happy to be a new
edition to the Good2Go Publishing family and excited to have my novel He
loves Me, He Loves You Not releasing November 22, Thanksgiving Day with
Silk White’s Tears of a Hustler 4.
5. What do you expect readers to
get out of your books?
I expect my reader’s imaginations
to be captured through a world of twisted, deranged, chaotic sequences of
events that will leave them on the edge of their seats wanting more.
6. When creating characters are
they based off of you, people you know or are they products of your
imagination?
A little of all three. I take
qualities from my personality and people that I come in contact with or people
that I have researched personalities to create my characters. I want my
characters to be memorable to my readers, so each character has a personality
trait to make them stand apart from the rest of the characters.
7. Five years from now where do
you see yourself?
Five years from now I see myself
still working hard, making movies and television series, knee deep in charity
work, raising a family and looking for the next great opportunity! I want to
thank everyone for all the support you give. You all rock and I am so grateful.
