AN EXCERPT FROM MY NEW NOVEL "SHADES OF FORGIVENESS"

An excerpt from “Shades of forgiveness” a novel by Selwyn Milborrow: “Dan Walter's pulse quickened as he looked over his shoulder. He unlocked his front door and eased it open and listened. If someone had broken in, chances were they were long gone. He stepped inside and paused again to listen. One thing you could say about Dan, he was extremely cautious. Once again he thought of the text message he received on his way home. Maybe he should have contacted the police. What if his ex-wife's husband followed through with his threat? He felt fear rising but instinctively pushed back the emotion. There is nothing to fear but fear itself, he thought to himself. It's a good thing it wasn't Grace's weekend with him. He would never forgive the person that would hurt his daughter. He hesitated, and then pulled the key from his front door. He pushed the door open farther. With confidence building, he entered the hallway. Quietly, he moved through the house. He stole a quick glance into the bathroom. It was undisturbed. He went to the wash basin, and splashed cold water on his face. He sighed heavily and checked his cell phone. He stared at it for a moment, closed it and took a deep breath.”

Selwyn’s book was endorsed by Dr Martha Casazza from Chicago in the USA: “Selwyn Milborrow has written a thriller with twists and turns that will keep the reader's attention right up until the end. The story takes place in a work environment that is very familiar. Embedded in the message is an inspirational thread that sends a powerful message to all readers. We can only hope that Selwyn Milborrow continues to write.”
