Excerpt

“I hear you’re heading back to Thunder Bay,” I said as I leaned my elbows on the counter beside where he had unrolled a nylon bag. It was a mini-arsenal containing knives, guns, bullets and even a small, but deadly-looking axe. Running one gloved hand over the contents of the bag, he looked up and met my eyes. “That’s right.” “Do you think I should come?” I asked, unable to tear my eyes away from the lethal weapons. “No.” His voice was low, but not unkind. “Okay,” I said, nodding. “Aodhan?” “Hmm?” he said, pulling out a small throwing knife. I straightened and clasped my hands together. I knew it was pointless to whisper, but I couldn’t help myself. “What will happen to Aoife if she’s found?” Aodhan’s jaw muscles went rigid. “I wish I could tell you justice would be served,” he said, looking deep into my eyes. “But you can’t, can you?” I said. He stared at me, his jaw working vigorously. “No, I cannot. But, I will tell you this,” he said glancing over my shoulder toward the living room where Niamh still sat. “For Liam’s sake, I will end each and every life that contributed to his death. Before I take my last breath, Aoife’s guards will have taken their last.”

About the Author:
Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known. The Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.
