Co-Author
by Arthur MillsPublish: Apr 27, 2015Supernatural Suspense Book Overview
Chelsie Crammer wants to write a romance that lasts. Creating her book's hero was easy. Falling in love with him wasn't part of the plan.
Chelsie writes romance for a living, and she has never believed a word of it, not really, until the tenth novel starts writing itself.
She and her husband have come out to a cottage at the edge of the woods so she can finally write the book she has in her. Instead, she finds a dead man's clothes in an attic trunk, and within days, her manuscript starts writing itself, chapters she doesn't remember, finished in her own voice. A hero who answers her. A hero who knows what she wants before she does.
Chelsie names her heroine after herself, and the wall between the woman at the desk and the woman on the page starts to come down. She falls in love with her co-author. She stops asking who he is. And she stops noticing that her husband can't reach her anymore, that a harmonica plays by the lake at night, that the old man next door goes quiet whenever the water comes up.
By the time the book is nearly finished, only one chapter is left, the one the whole story has been moving toward, and Chelsie needs her co-author to write it. She wants it more than she has wanted anything. She has never once asked what it will cost her to read it.
Co-Author is a paranormal thriller about the reader who won't let a character die, and the terrible tenderness of getting exactly what you asked for.
