Everyone has a passion in life and mine is writing. The creation of Behind the Shadows began as a short story, like the many other short stories that I have written over the years. The difference being that the characters in this story became alive and took over my life. It took several years for me to complete Behind the Shadows and during those years each of the characters guided me through their trials and tribulations until their story was told. Although the final period was placed at the end of this
book, my story did not end there as the descendants of the characters in Behind the Shadows came alive and have urged me to tell their story, which I have done.

Fading Shadows takes the family on a journey into the next generation where they encounter the secret of those who came before them. A  secret, that once divulged, destroys family harmony and locks the family in its clutches, from which there is no
escape.
