Blurb:
Janie
Knox wants nothing more than to live her life quietly in Savannah, Georgia and
never return to her hometown of Atlanta. At age seventeen, a week after a jury
convicted her stepfather of killing her mother, she packed all her worldly
possessions in a single duffle bag, hopped on a bus, and vowed never to return.
But, when she learns that she’s got three months to live, she journeys back
home to finish what she couldn’t do when she left--kill her stepfather.
As
the clock ticks away, Janie’s uses the last days of her life to right the
wrongs that have haunted her for twenty years. She faces more than she
bargained for when she discovers her sister’s life in shambles. Meanwhile her
stepfather, recently released from prison, blackmails the sisters and plots to
extract millions from the state in retribution.
The Clock Strikes
Midnight is a race against time in a quest for
revenge and atonement. This is a story about unleashing the hidden truths that
haunt a quiet Southern family.
Review by Rochelle:
When
Janie left Atlanta, she didn’t say goodbye and everyone there thought she never
looked back. That wasn’t true. While she led a quiet, successful life in
Savannah, Janie never forgot the events leading up to the day her and her
sister’s lives were shattered by their mother’s death—or the man responsible.
When she finds she has only three months to live, she knows she has to exact
her revenge, and repair the shattered relationships she left behind.
The Clock Strikes Midnight is the story of two
generations of Atlanta women and the demons that drive them. It’s the tragedy
of basing one’s self-esteem on being the prettiest girl in school, and what
happens when your life peaks at sixteen—and crashes at seventeen. It’s the
tragedy of losing a loving father at a young age, and of living with an abusive
stepfather. And it’s a tale of revenge and of amends. Most importantly, it’s
skillfully woven with deeply-drawn characters. Some will tug at your
heart-strings, and others will make you want to wash your hands a couple of
times when you put down the book. Hurry to the MuseItUp Publishing, Inc.
bookstore and buy The Clock Strikes Midnight.

You’ll
notice we always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors
usually receive 40% of the book price from the publisher. Editors and cover
artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes &
Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author,
editors and cover artists receive their royalties from what is left. So, if a
book costs $5.99 at E-BookPublisher.com and you buy from there, the author will
receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will receive
about $0.83.
