About Jana
Jana has tried her hand at many writing projects
over the years, from magazine articles and short stories to full-length
contemporary romance, paranormal suspense and romantic comedy. She loves to
create characters with a sense of humor, but also a serious side. She believes
there’s nothing more interesting then peeling back the layers of a character to
see what makes them tick.
When not writing up a storm or dealing with dust bunnies,
Jana can be found pursuing hobbies such as golf (which she plays very badly) or
reading (which she does much better).
Jana lives in Western Canada with her husband Warren and two
senior cats named Layla and Leelou. You can reach her through her website. Find out

My Favorite Things About Halloween
The treats! I always make sure we have a little extra just for us. I’m partial to potato chips but my husband goes for the mini chocolate bars.
Seeing the neighborhood kids dressed up in their costumes when they come to the door. Always fun!
Did I mention the treats?
The decorations. I’m hopeless at decorating but I enjoy my neighbors’ creative efforts. Pumpkin everything! ‘Tis the season for pumpkin spice flavoring in my coffee.
When psychic Leah McKenna “sees” the abduction of a small
boy, she knows she must help find him, no matter the danger to herself. David
Logan, the boy’s uncle, doesn’t believe in psychic phenomenon. He believes Leah
knows who kidnapped his nephew, and plans to stick close to her to discover the
truth. As they search for Jeremy they uncover truths about themselves and the
way they feel about each other. Can Leah convince him her visions, and her love
for him, are real before time runs out for all of them?
Excerpt
David closed his eyes in anguish, barely stifling a groan.
They'd been in such a hurry that he hadn't even told Jeremy he loved him that
morning.
Leah stooped to retrieve a couple of plastic toys left
abandoned on the floor. She stared at the bright red brontosaurus and the
purple stegosaurus as if waiting to hear them speak. David straightened the
unmade bed to give himself something to do, his hand brushing against a lump
under the blanket. He pulled Jeremy's well-worn Teddy bear from its hiding
place.
"This is one of his favorites," he said.
"Jeremy calls him Mr. Cuddles. He's had him since he was a baby. He never
goes to sleep without him. He'll be missing him..."
David's hands clenched into fists. Rage poured through him.
What kind of monster takes a child away from his mother, from everything that's
familiar to him? When he got his hands on the bastard who did this, he'd make
him pay.
His gaze collided with Leah's. He sensed she read the
chaotic thoughts that tumbled through his brain. Her warm brown eyes were full
of compassion and understanding, and for a moment he almost forgot his belief
that she had something to do with Jeremy's disappearance. David stepped toward
her, wanting to bury his face in her honey-colored hair and hold her until the
fear and worry abated.
What the hell was he doing? He stopped abruptly, appalled by
the direction of his thoughts. How could he even consider such a thing when he
was sure she was involved in Jeremy's disappearance? Yet, she seemed so
innocent, the look in her eyes sincere and caring. His thoughts whirled in
confusion.
