This is my first Ford 99 Test, and I was
more than a bit anxious about taking it on. What if Page 99 is boring? Or has
nothing that drives the plot forward? I finally picked up my paperback copy of
the book, and was pleasantly surprised when I opened it to the required page.
There is action – thank heaven! – and it
just happens to fall smack in the middle of an event that changes the life of
Claire, my main character, and the lives of everyone she cares about. An event
that sets the final confrontation in motion.
Here is a brief setup: Claire Wiche is a
woman running from her past; a past that finally catches up to her, in a
violent way. By the time we get to Page 99, there is so much going on – and so
much I can’t talk about without revealing major plot spoilers. So how do I tell
you all, without actually telling you all?
My solution is to offer bits, just enough
to make you want to read more – to make ME want to read more, even though I
know the story.
Here are the first few paragraphs:
“I’m sorry.” Annie eased away from the knife blade. “My friend is
the one with money—I can give you—”
The woman screamed and lunged at her.
Annie retreated, arms raised, hoping the knife wouldn’t slice into
something life threatening—
She tripped, flying backward. The knife thrust into the space she
occupied a second ago. Scrambling to her feet, Annie ran.
Annie, Claire’s best friend, is attacked by
a homeless woman. Just when she thinks she is going down for the count, she is
rescued by a stranger – or who she thought was a stranger, until she gets her
first good look.
Rescuer becomes captor, and Annie becomes
the pawn in a game that will rip Claire out of the safe life she has built, and
force her to make a choice. One she gladly makes, in order to save the person
who has accepted her as a friend, as a sister.
At this point in the story, everything is
on the line. Claire has seen already how dangerous her nemesis is, how a human
life means nothing, except as a tool to manipulate Claire. Taking Annie captive
is the final act, and the consequences will be devastating.
Rest
For The Wicked is a story of redemption, and the
meaning of true friendship. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed
creating it.
