About the Author
I love to read. I'm a huge fan of books and when I start reading anything, I usually forgo doing everything else, I mean the housework will still be there in the morning (right?). When I love a story or book that I've downloaded, I usually refrain from sleep and am crabby the next day - but only until I pick my iPad up and start reading again! The idea for my debut novel HiT 149, came to me as I was chopping my vegetables for dinner and before the night was over I had written 10 chapters! My goal with writing is just to take people away from whatever is going on in their lives, even if it's only for a split second. I'm a go with the flow sort of person and don't really take a course of action to get where I am going. I live in the moment and don't usually worry about tomorrow because whatever life is due to bring me, I'll be happy to accept. I love my family and friends and will help anyway I can if someone needs it. But I can be a bit daft sometimes and need to be told very specifically or it'll go over my head! I really don't like people that are nasty just because they can be, I don't believe that's necessary, I mean life is hard enough as it is. I hope you enjoy my books, I've had a hoot writing them. There's more to come, and not all from the same series... Til next time

Excerpt
Fuck. I just killed two people. I look down at my hands and they are shaking. Am I shaking or is it because it’s cold outside? It’s the early hours of the morning and I’ve put a bullet in Damon and Nox’s head. My gaze tries to look around but all I see is black. No cars approaching. Just the abandoned vehicle with two bodies pulled up towards the break down lane. I try to focus but there is this knot in my stomach; it feels like it’s travelling up towards my throat. I feel the Birthday cupcake that Dad had for me starting to make its way north, back into my mouth. I’m not sure I can hold onto it. My breath is hitched and it feels like my heart is going to implode. If I die here on the road, no one will be able to claim me. Everyone important to me is dead. Dad - Henry. Is it raining? What can I feel? I look up and the sky is black and cloudless. It’s not raining. I touch my face to where the wetness is; my brain is in neutral, not going anyway. I stand on the same spot for I don’t know how long but it seems like I’m starting to see through the smokiness and haze that is surrounding my conscious. I close my eyes and try and calm myself. The bile that is threatening to make an appearance is starting to recede. Deep breath in through my nose and out through my mouth. My mind is clearing up. The hair on my arms is starting to stand to attention and the feeling of imminent doom is close by. My feet are trying to save themselves, and me. They have started running, not towards my old home that now lays in burning embers but away from it. I need to run and start a new life, but with whom? I have no one I can go to. Maybe a school friend? No one. Maybe a teacher? No not even them. I’m not going to become a ward of the state I need to fight for myself now. Where will I go? What can I do? With limited money I’ve taken from a now deceased Damon and Nox, but with no clothes, no food, no home and no one who loves me. Fuck me. What the fuck am I going to do?

My Review
5 Learning-To-Kill Stars!!

Wow!
This is a short brilliant novella giving an insight on Anna's childhood, how she survived after her father was killed.I totally loved the first book in the HiT series and couldn't wait for more.This is fast-paced and you will have it read in no time as it takes you into the Anna's life as a child.She never got the time to have a normal childhood, then again was she ever normal? With guns as her friends and her only family being her deceased father she had to grow up fast become a mature women even though she was only 15 years old.


15 is the age my life changed.


You'll address me as 15.


What happens when she saves a mans life? Saving Lukas's life could be her best opportunity to get even with the man who sent the men to kill her father or it could turn out to be her worst nightmare.

Lukas is the best, he knows it all so when he sees Anna he sees an opportunity to mold her into the most notorious assassin around.
It won't be easy and not everything will go as planned.
How well will Anna cope with the brutal training?

“Fucking focus Anna. You think this is tough? You think this is the worst you’ll get? I’m here teaching you to save your fucking life here Anna. This could be the difference between jail or a bullet in the fucking head. Fucking focus. Stop this bullshit”

Anna has to learn to become a cold-blooded killer with no emotion, no feelings.

Breathe. In and Out

She is determined to be the best at everything Lukas puts her through.He is distant with her yet she feels safe with him. He is her role model and she will do her best to accomplish each goal he sets.


“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

― Mahatma Gandhi
