Excerpt from the first page of my mystery novel, "Murder at Whalehead":

Laura Redinger drew in a deep breath and let it out haltingly, trying not to cry. She listened—silence, except for the wash of water around the piers supporting the old boathouse. Her arms ached, but yanking the chains as hard as she could didn't budge the U-bolts that kept her spread-eagled against the wooden plank wall. The cuffs on her ankles had dug into her skin, bloodying her feet.
"Somebody help me!" she yelled. No answer. A single light bulb dangled from a wire slung from the middle rafter, casting deep and distorted shadows from the objects around the room—the slats of crab cages, lengths of thick rope, floaters and netting hanging from the cavernous ceiling, the spokes of her wheels and handlebars against the opposite wall.
Why did he bring me here? He must be a psycho. "Oh God please, somebody help me," she whimpered. She took another breath and screamed. Her throat hurt from yelling. He wants to kill me. I know it. I could see it in his eyes. But where'd he go? Concentrating, she slowed her breathing and listened. Footsteps. Coming up the walkway from shore. "Help me! Somebody help me! Who's out there?"
The door creaked on its hinges.
She stared into the dark opening. "Whoever you are, please get me out of here."

APRIL RAIN
Words and Music copyright by Joe C. Ellis 2008

April Rain,
April Rain,
Come take my hand,
We'll walk down this lane.
Look in my eyes.
I'll try to explain,
How sad hearts cause April rain.

April Rain,
April Rain,
Teardrops may fall,
Again and Again.
Angels on high,
Are feeling your pain.
Down Comes the April rain.

Chorus:
Angels and April
Are part of God's plan.
Raindrops and teardrops,
Are both good for man.
One waters the soul,
One waters the land.
It's okay to cry,
Like the angels on high

April rain,
April rain,
Sinks down in the earth,
And reaches the grain.
The seed in your heart,
Is almost the same,
When it's touched by the April rain.

Repeat Chorus.
