Abandoned Memories
Escape To Paradise book 3
by MaryLu Tyndall
 Paperback: 320 pages Publisher: Barbour Publishing Inc.; Gld edition (July 1, 2014) ISBN-10: 1616265981 ISBN-13: 978-1616265984 | Something sinister lurks in the lush Brazilian jungle. . . . It is 1866 and the fledgling Confederate colony of New Hope is Angeline Moore’s last chance at a normal life. Running from the law, she longs to make a fresh start in this new Southern Utopia. But a series of strange disasters threaten to destroy everything the colonists have worked for, and strange visions threaten to reveal a past Angeline is desperate to hide. James Callaway failed at both doctoring and preaching, but he hopes that his move to Brazil will give him another chance to become the spiritual leader he so desires. He longs to create a world free from the immorality that plagued every street corner back home and ruined his life. And he believes Angeline is just the sort of refined woman he needs to keep him on the right track. But something is amiss in New Hope: haunting visions, the discovery of crypts beneath an ancient temple, and an archaic Hebrew book, set the colonists’ fears on edge. When one of their own is murdered, a series of disasters leads them to believe God has brought them to Brazil to defeat an evil that, if unleashed, could wreak havoc on the entire world. |
Countdown Day 3
I'm going to share a small, but tantalizing, snippet of a scene from the book.
Boom! Thunder split the sky. Releasing her friends, Angeline glanced upward. Nothing but white clouds against a cerulean background. Sarah scanned the horizon and shrieked. Eliza's wide eyes met Angeline's. Swinging her arms around her friends, she shoved them to the side and forced them to the ground. An eerie whine scraped Angeline's ears. The beach erupted in a fiery volcano. The dirt beneath them trembled. Sand showered over them like hail, pelting their backs as they huddled together. No one dared speak. In the distance, a woman screamed. Men shouted. Baby Lydia sobbed. The rain of sand ceased. Angeline glanced up to see a smoking crater just a few feet from where they'd been standing.
Struggling to her feet, she helped her friends to rise, her mind numb with confusion and fear. Gunpowder and smoke bit her nose, Dazed, the women stood staring at the crater. A shout sounded. All eyes fixed on the sea where the outline of a tall ship drifted like a giant sea serpent before the rising sun. Smoke curled from her charred hull.
A man on the deck held something to his mouth.
“This is the ship Espoliar. Surrender or die!”
-- From pages 133 & 134 of Abandoned Dreams by MaryLu Tyndall and published by Barbour Publishing Inc.

 MaryLu Tyndall | Bio Acclaimed author, M.L. (MaryLu) Tyndall dreamt of pirates and sea-faring adventures during her childhood days on Florida's Coast. After obtaining a degree in Math and working as software engineer for 15 years, she decided to test the waters as a writer. With now more than fourteen books published, she makes no excuses for the deeply spiritual themes embedded within her romantic adventures. As a follower of Christ, her stories often reflect her own journey and walk with God. Her hope is that readers will not only be entertained but will be brought closer to the Creator who loves them beyond measure. In a culture that accepts the occult, wizards, zombies, and vampires without batting an eye, MaryLu hopes to show the awesome present and powerful acts of God in a dying world. A Christy award nominee, MaryLu makes her home with her husband, six children, and four cats on the California coast, where her imagination still surges with the sea. |
