Hello friends and welcome to JoAnne's Blog. Today I'm sharing an excerpt
from my short story, “Dark Visions", one tale from my paranormal
anthology, “Wicked Intentions”.

Blurb: When Carrie Reynold’s starts having nightmares on her
twenty-sixth birthday, she believes her “dark visions” can solve the twenty
year disappearance of her father.
Excerpt from “Dark Visions”
Excerpt: Mark was gone from Carrie’s
bed when she awoke. In his place lay a
hand-written love note
decorated with flowers and hearts. “Mark, you’re quite the artist,” she said to
the note with a deep satisfied smile. Checking the clock she found she had less
than thirty minutes to shower, dress and get to church…and be there on time. Anyone
arriving late had to sit in back of the church, and Carrie was expected to sit
with her mother.
She made it to the church
with one minute to spare and dutifully kissing
her mother’s cheek, sat with
her in the fourth row. “I didn’t think you’d make
it,” whispered Myra, noticing
her daughter’s glowing appearance as did others, as evidenced by smiles and
wiggling eyebrows. “So, when’s the wedding?”
Carrie stopped her last
minute primping and whispered. “Does it show?”
“You got ‘I had sex last
night’ written all over your pretty face.”
“He’s the one, Mother. I know
it.”
“That’s what I said when I
met your daddy…and we know how that
ended.”
“Father was morally and
emotionally weak. Mark is not.”
“I may not know everything
about men, but one thing I do know is this, ‘If
a man can get the milk for
free, why buy the cow?’”
“That’s a horrible
presumption to make about Mark.”
“So…when’s the wedding?”
Carrie started to answer, but
the organist’s Prelude interrupted. Angry with
her mom and her attitude
toward men in general and Mark in particular, she
made a quick exit. Once
outside the church, she raced sobbing to her car and
peeled out of the parking
lot. She immediately called Mark.

2nd Review
4**** by Tenaya Jacob 2015
Review: “Good ghoulish bedtime stories. Wicked Intentions is a
collection of short mysterious tales about love gone wrong and restless souls
of the spirit world trespassing in the land of the living. Interesting stories
to keep you up at night reading.”
