After being found in the Bermuda Triangle, Avreona Heavenborn grows up to become the most hated and feared women in The Unknown World, the captain of Multiple Incorporated. Multiple Incorporated is the biggest industry of crime fighters to ever exist, and every single day she takes justice by storm with her partner, Rainer Jay McCoy.

Rainer has more secrets than she even does. Lucky for him, the dead don’t talk. Or do they?? Avreona can see ghost. And speak to them. Which is just one of her many phenomenal abilities as an Unknown.

Avreona’s never trusted anyone. After all, there’s a reason why the Fool in the Tarot means trust. But what would really happen if she were to let her defense’s down just once? Why don’t you ask all the hit men who are trying to assassinate her. Including The 86er, the biggest and baddest hit man in all The Unknown World.
Will she survive?? Not even the ghost know that one.

"Ticking" is the first book in "The Heaven Born Series".

Christine Fey

P.s If you want to step into The Unknown World check out the first chapter "Eight years later" the blog.

Just stopping by to say hi.

Okay, that's a big lie. I'm really sending you this because I want you and people who look at your page to buy my books.

There. I said it. You're just a cheap promo opportunity for me. I'm even using a bot to send out hundreds of these comments rather than taking the time to contact you personally.

But I also love you. A lot. You're my very favorite MySpace friend. Really. Thank you for being you.

My latest book is Fuzzy Navel.

You're welcome Christina.
Your book is considered a writer's bible for writer mama. That's for sure. I love how writing can be done whenever and wherever you go.
I love to write. How come you didn't mention "The Writer's Handbook"? That's another one I recommend and later on will get the "The Writer's Market".
