"Taylor was pacing back and forth through the room. She was alone, so there was no point in hiding her nervousness. A couple of minutes before, the woman was merely biting down her lip, however, when the mirror informed her that her teeth were partially in red color, she stopped." She's presenting an award. Not alone and not in an ordinary city. With the sight of obscenely long legs and a stunning smile on the front row, Taylor might speak more than she once thought she should.

A one-shot that hit me at work, as I read all the posts from my fellow Kaylors about how we're waiting on pins and needles to see just how good, or bad August 3, 2016 will be. "Come on Taylor, get your shit together. You can do this." Taylor shakes out her hands in front of her and stretches a little, trying to calm the shaking. Her anxiety must be radiating off of her in waves, because it seems to have caught the attention of her cats. Even Meredith, who generally regards her mother with a look of disdainful indifference, deigned to rub against her legs as she sat on the couch earlier. Both cats now lounge in Taylor's office, where she sits at her laptop, trying desperately to grow a pair and follow through with the idea that had come to her at 6am, making her sit bolt upright, unable to sleep, much like the morning she'd realized that her fifth album would be a pop album called 1989. Only this revelation made that once earth-shattering decision look positively mundane. Just as she had known that the choice to leave behind her country roots would ruffle a few feathers, but ultimately be the best thing for her, for herself, she knew that what she'd come up with had the potential to make her happier than she had ever been...if it didn't cost her her career. (Update! I wasn't as far off as I thought I might be! Happy Kaylor Christmas everyone!)

A power kept secret for 2000 years. A woman who stands to lose everything. India. When a nun is burned alive on the sacred ghats of Varanasi, and the stone she carried is stolen, an international hunt is triggered for the relics of the early church. Forged in the fire and blood of martyrs, the Pentecost stones have been handed down through generations of Keepers who kept their power and locations secret. Until now. The Keepers are being murdered, the stones stolen by those who would use them for evil in a world transformed by religious fundamentalism. Oxford University psychologist Morgan Sierra is forced into the search when her sister and niece are held hostage. She is helped by Jake Timber from the mysterious ARKANE, a British government agency specializing in paranormal and religious experience. Morgan must risk her own life to save her family, but will she ultimately be betrayed? From ancient Christian sites in Spain, Italy and Israel to the far reaches of Iran and Tunisia, Morgan and Jake must track down the stones through the myths of the early church in a race against time before a new Pentecost is summoned, this time powered by the fires of evil. The first in the ARKANE series, PENTECOST is a fast-paced thriller that explores the edges of faith against a backdrop of early Christian history, archaeology and psychology.
