I have something for you. Last month, I rewrote all my book blurbs (again.) I like how they turned out, so to celebrate, I made ABDUCTED LIFE 99 cents.

If you like stories that have you rooting for true love to overcome all, then Abducted Life is for you. Plus, alien vampires and werewolves. (I should probably lead with that.)

I THOUGHT ALIENS WERE GOING TO ABDUCT ME.

I forget how old I was, my early twenties. Hubby and I were dating, and we lived with my parents. They lived in a hundred+-year-old farmhouse in the middle of a field. Hubby was off at college. I was missing him, so I was curled up in his room, napping.

Then something woke me. A strange, buzzing noise. It came then went. Was quiet then loud. What on earth was it?

My brain had one answer: Aliens.

I was mortified. Aliens were going to abduct me. They were scanning the area, and if I moved, they’d find me and take me away. What would they do to me? I didn’t dare think. I lay there, my limbs cramping as I listened to the noise come and go. And then I noticed something. Something very important.

It was windy out.

I realized the sound was the wind hitting the house just right. I realized it was broad daylight. I realized my parents were in the house and moving about. If aliens were scanning for movement, they surely would have gotten them before me.

So, I got up and quietly went downstairs. I didn’t speak a word about what happened to anyone. Maybe I was just secretly relieved I hadn’t been abducted by aliens.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD SOMETHING STRANGE TURN OUT TO BE MUNDANE?

I hope you enjoyed my story. I have zero idea why my brain did this to me. I was 100% convinced it was happening.
