ALWAYS AND FOREVER TOUR - Teaser

Author Karal J. Nellenbach has stopped by with a teaser from her book Always and Forever.

“What are you guys talking about?” I asked, breaking up their laugh riot. “What happens at 12:23?” Another glance at my watch.

12:22

Brad snorted. “Goober here,” he nodded toward Adam. “Says the train comes through every night at that time. Dave and I’ve been out here plenty, and we’ve never seen it.”

Adam glared at Brad. “Just changed the schedule. I’m telling you. It’ll be here any minute.” He turned to me with an exasperated sigh. “These guys are just too scared to play chicken with me.”

“It’s stupid,” Dave cut in. “People don’t do that shit anymore.”

“Because you’re scared,” Adam griped.

“Doesn’t matter anyway,” Kal said, tapping his watch. “Don’t think your train’s coming tonight, Adam.”

We all looked down at our wrists. 12:23

“Well, shit,” Adam muttered under his breath. “I could’ve sworn— ” His head jerked up, his eyes round as saucers as a shrill whistle plowed through the night.

The train was coming.

“Who’s with me?” he asked excitedly. His eyes shimmered with anticipation of cheating death. “Kal? Brad?” All the guys shook their heads and scoffed about how this was so last decade, and why would anyone want to do something that stupid?

The whistle blew louder, still way into the distance, but not so far off now. “I’ll do it,” I blurted out.

Blub:

Mia's first reaction is outright disbelief. Obviously, a mistake has been made. Sixteen-year-old girls don't die. But, when the diagnosis is confirmed, she dives headlong into anger. If she has to die, why should it be of cancer? In fact, anything would be preferable to cancer. Better for her to say when, where, and especially how. Determined to meet death on her own terms, Mia devises scheme after scheme to get the job done. A “fall” down the basement stairs, driving her car off a bridge, and even a dance with a train all end in her survival. And through it all, Mia keeps her family and friends at arms' length with her destructive and hurtful behavior. With each failed suicide attempt and burned relationship, she slowly realizes that it’s not the dying that she’s afraid of, but the life she’ll be leaving behind. Now, that life is in a shambles. As time begins to slip through her fingers and death is upon her, Mia fights to rebuild the bridges she has destroyed, but can she do it before the clock runs out?

About Karla J. Nellenbach

Karla J. Nellenbach divides her time between dayjobbing, writing, and indulging in her Winchester obsession. The rest of her day is spent playing butler to a cranky old man masquerading as a housecat and two rambunctious puppies that closely resemble small horses.

Born and raised in the wilds of Michigan, she knows two immutable facts: (1) it is entirely possible to live in a thumb, and (2) you definitely can go home again...you just might not survive the winter. Having resided in the sunscape of Florida for the last decade, she's still on a quest to see a real live alligator outside of the "petting" zoo.
