URBAN SAINT --The Question

Separation anxiety eclipses grief within a peculiar twelve-hour window where two tragedies occur in two separate cities. For newlywed Victoria Quinn in Midwestern Florida, her husband Gabriel could see the separation coming. He could see it coming out of the chronic stage of the addiction that affects their marriage. For Katherine Jackson in California, Michael's struggle is similar but not as ominous, yet he dies the next day from an overdose. Victoria is in the church where she can be heard at times singing, 'Give me Jesus'. But what she receives outside those walls is another spirit whose powerful grip leads her towards a similar trip as Michael. The events escalate into a terrifying climax when one of them, a healthy psychologist with feet firmly planted in the church, career, and community shockingly succumbs to a stroke that leads to a coma. On one level this is the emergent panic button pushed, the triage in the emergency room, the ICU's protocol around the clock in a desperate effort to save life, as one slips deeper and deeper into unconsciousness. And yet on another level, somewhere near heaven's gate, the edge of eternity, comes the divine caricature... URBAN SAINT is a compelling 150,000 words romantic suspense page-turning trilogy; set in a city within minutes of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico; and has the intrigue to grip the attention of the reader from start to finish. In a world where millions of people are as much preoccupied with work and earnings, marriage and romance, spirituality and health; as they are with Near Death Experiences, Urban Saint serves up a delightful blend of all four that is apt to be a crowd-pleaser in the tradition of spellbinding love stories.
