About Slipping Into Darkness

Abby Stewart is an avid walker and lover of nature living in southern Louisiana. Surrounded by hundred-year-old oak trees and historical bayous, her life is blissfully calm and rewarding. Abby and her husband, Griff, are set in their retirement, surrounded by family and friends, enjoying their well-established hobbies and routines. At least that’s what Abby thinks until dreams compel her to find the perfect walking stick and a series of peculiar and tragic events begin to unfold. The evil behind these events intensifies as the days pass, and Abby feels it lurking in the shadows of her mind. She soon notices that she is in the center of it all, and as things around her spin out of control, she finds herself slipping into darkness. Abby is fighting to regain control of her life and discover the truth before it’s too late.

Can Abby find her way out of the darkness as the evil begins to take control? Will she discover the truth by relying on those closest to her, or will she succumb to the centuries-old curse?

What People are Saying

This book is a page-turner. I couldn’t put it down. The book is packed with minor characters. No detail is too small … it’s worth rereading once you’ve finished this novel just to see how well the author has engaged all of the characters, weaving the mundane details of the main characters’ lives into the story as a way of humanizing them.

Grabs your attention from start to finish. This new author has a bright future. This book is a page-turner. Once I began reading it, I couldn’t wait to finish it. Being from the New Orleans area, same as the author, I enjoyed the mentioning of familiar places. Hoping there is a 2nd book to come soon.
