DEAD ENEMIES
Suspense
BY K.E. GARVEY

Excerpt

…She raised the knife over her head, the fingers of both hands curled around its handle. Her body propelled forward by rage. For the briefest moment, he looked as though he were going to stand hi ground and face her head on; maybe try to wrestle the knife from her, but before she reached him he turned and sprinted through the living room and out the front door. She stopped and listened for the engine of his truck to turn over before lowering her hands, sweaty and still white-knuckling the knife. Her insides trembled in anger, but somewhere beneath, in a place of calm knowing, a thought pressed on her like a firm hand. He was lying, she was sure of it. The difference between this lie and all the others, this time he was able to look her in the eye while telling it…

Before venturing into the world of mainstream fiction, Kathy wrote articles of interest for online enthusiast magazines, most notably on the subjects of horses and eventing.

She is currently working on the next book in her collection of suspense works, IN HER RIGHT MIND, due out late 2019.

Aside from the time she spends traveling, her passion is the time she is able to spend with friends and family. A few of her other interests include music, horticulture, cooking, traveling, antiquing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, museums, cultural events, and home decorating.

NOTE FROM K.E.: The holidays are upon us, so I thought I’d share my favorite holiday wassail. I came across this about 20-years ago in one of the small cooking magazines usually found at the checkout lanes in grocery stores. Since I only make it once a year it has become somewhat of a highly-anticipated tradition.

CHRISTMAS WASSAIL

64 ounce bottle Ocean Spray Cranberry/Granny Smith Apple Juice
¼ c. sugar
2 – 3” cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. whole Allspice
¾ c. brandy (optional – we don’t add it, but if you choose to kick it up a bit)
Apple or orange slices for garnish

Combine all but brandy and garnish in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer 10 minutes, and then strain. Pour into a punch bowl, and then add brandy and garnish slices.

Note: Do not pour hot wassail into an untempered glass bowl. I did this the first time I made it and the hot liquid into the room-temperature pitcher… well, I don’t know what I was thinking. 🙂
