BLURB:
 
Beautiful, talented, and stubborn, architect Laney Taylor battles her attraction to the handsome and wealthy—but mulish—homebuilder, Cannon Carlson.  After all, he is her employer, and business and pleasure don’t mix, do they?

Sarah, a klutzy, perpetually direction-challenged angel who craves cheeseburgers and fancies red stilettos, is sent to Houston on assignment. She’s to bring these obstinate people together, but she faces major challenges, especially since Laney is threatened by a mysterious stalker who plans to kill her.
To protect Laney, the Commander of Heaven dispatches a second, more seasoned warrior angel, Tomas, to Earth with divine instructions to protect Laney. But will hit-or-miss Sarah get in his way? Can Sarah unite Cannon and Laney romantically together?
Oh merciful heavens!  What will Sarah do this time?

EXCERPT:
Copyright © 2013 Gay N. Lewis
Sarah prepared for her descent from The Heavenlies. By Earth’s schedule, months had passed since her last visit. But in The Heavenlies, time did not exist. Eternity recognized no calendars, clocks, or time pieces, and had no beginning or end.
She had once served the Superiors in Houston, Texas, and now her orders were to return to that same city. But Houston was huge. How could a directionally challenged angel find the way? With no innate sense of direction—in Heaven or on Earth—she wished for one of those GPS devices the humans used, but angels weren’t supposed to need them.
Pointing her body toward earth, she zoomed like a bomb straight down to Texas. When skyscrapers came into view, she righted herself and drifted to the terrain’s surface. She landed in a parking lot surrounded by buildings. Good—safely back on this special planet called Earth.
Sarah had never been to the other galaxies in the universe, but many angels had. She hoped her missions were always for the earthlings. She liked these people.
Her stomach rumbled.
Why was she always hungry? Finding a place to fortify strength would be necessary before locating Laney. Once the assignment started, it might be hours before a chance to satisfy her appetite presented itself.
She glanced at the signage on the building. How fortunate—an eatery. Pop’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. While invisible, she ducked behind the structure and glanced around to make sure no one would see her. Witnessing a woman materialize out of nowhere proved quite distressing for humans.
Now then—when people looked, they would see a young lady dressed in jeans and t-shirt. On the last trip to earth, she had discovered the hard way that stilettos weren’t her thing, so this time she opted for a pair of sneakers.
The day was hot. She had the ability to cool herself with her internal thermometer but decided to check inside first to see if any adjustment was necessary.
She strolled up to Pop’s lunch counter. A man with a white beard and baseball cap stood ready with a pencil in his hand. “What would you like to order, miss?”
“I’ll have a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate malt.”
He handed her a number for her order. She summoned money from the handbag, paid the man, and chose a table. After a few minutes, he delivered the burger basket. “Would you like anything else?”
Sarah looked up at the kind man and smiled. “I could use some directions. I don’t know my way around Houston.”
The man smiled. “Me either. I don’t think I can be of much help to you.”
Sarah lifted her eyebrows. Had she found someone as directionally hopeless as herself? “How long have you lived here?”
“All my life, but I stay close to Dallas. Don’t get to Houston very often.”
Sarah frowned. “Aren’t I in Houston?”
“No, ma’am, you’re in Dallas.”
“Oh, merciful heavens!”
* * *
Tomas had no trouble finding Laney Taylor in Houston. Hovering nearby, he waited, eyes and ears fixed on Laney as the stranger approached. Intervention might become necessary.
“Hey! Get your hands off me!” Laney shrieked as fingers pawed her hair and tickled her neck. The house had been vacant when she entered. Caught up in work, she clearly hadn’t heard anyone enter the empty space. The unexpected stroke to her body proved a shocking notice that she was no longer alone.
She spun around and faced the tall, scraggly man standing only inches away. Laney backed into the wall as he advanced. “How did you get in here?”
Tomas heard the tremble in Laney’s voice. He tensed his back and prepared for action, but hoped it wouldn’t be necessary. If only the avenger would hurry up and arrive.
The wicked man towered over Tomas’ charge and framed the partition with enormous hands and bony arms, making it impossible for Laney to withdraw any further.
“I was hot, and the door was open. Didn’t expect to find me a beautiful woman waiting.” An ugly smile disfigured his lips. “Looks like I hit the jackpot.”
Tomas could see Laney evaluate her options. No help was in sight, and her face held a look of sheer panic. She had no idea an angel was there. He’d wait a few more seconds before stepping in.
Tomas saw her fingers clutch a key ring. A weapon! He picked up on her intent to plunge the keys into the stranger’s eyes, knee him in his groin, and run through the open door.
Tomas wasn’t the only one who read her objective. The unkempt man sneered and knocked the keys from her hand. Gripping her shoulders, he lowered his head to touch her sweet lips with his filthy ones. Screaming, Laney jostled her head from side to side and avoided the evil touch. Bringing her knee up, she struck his thigh, but that little thump was no deterrent to the fiendish man.

Bailey inherits her grandfather’s business, Maid For You, but cleaning up dead body parts wasn’t part of the job description. Bailey hopes to wipe out crime with the help of Nate, her computer hacker assistant, despite protests of their involvement in the case from Detective Max Wellington.

Maid for Murder is a trilogy that begins with Deadly Business. The story continues throughout the trilogy as Bailey uncovers deception, corruption and a few secrets that may forever change her life. As the threads of deceit unravel, the murders begin to break out like a case of Bubonic Plague.

Bailey is a Christian, struggling to keep on the path she knows is right, fighting the temptation of the hunky Detective Max Wellington who would like nothing more than to take her into protective custody, for more than just interfering in police business.

I hope that you will enjoy the inspirational, humorous trilogy as it continues with Deadly Confessions...someone has some secrets they want kept quiet; and Deadly Deception...who can you really trust?

Excerpt
Mother Goodness floated down to a sitting position and hugged Sarah.
“Now, child, what are you fretting about?”
“Tomas gave me instructions to take these to Laney.” She pulled photos from her pocket and held them up for view. “But he didn’t tell me why I should do it, and he gave no hint as to how to go about it.”
“Are you resenting him for this—what you consider neglect on his part?” Mother Goodness’ face and tone glowed with compassion—not censure.
“Oh no, I don’t think so.” She frowned and bit her lip. “Is it possible for angels to worry? I think I’m worried.”
When she smiled, the lines in Mother Goodness’ face increased. “The Mighty One gave you a large capacity for empathy. As a result of this gift, you take on the characteristics of the humans—and they worry and fret a lot. Angels want to succeed, and we are confident we will. Earth’s creatures aspire to achieve but often lack the assurance they will. Make sense?”
Sarah frowned and her eyes glistened. “Are you saying that like the humans, I lack confidence in myself, and as a result I struggle?”
Mother Goodness supplied Sarah a tissue from her gigantic pocket. “Do you have faith in God and His ability?”
“Oh, yes, I do.” Sarah nodded her head vigorously.
“Do you trust yourself to get an assignment done?”
With collapsed wings, Sarah lowered her chin until it almost scraped her chest. She refused to bring herself to meet the eyes of Mother Goodness. “No ma’am. Not always.”
Mother Goodness’ hand slipped under her chin. The Mentor lifted Sarah’s downcast face, and once more, Sarah gazed at her teacher.
“Can you accept that God will work out all things for your benefit, just as He can for the humans who love Him? And you do love Him, don’t you?”
“With all that I am.”
“Do you accept that He loves you?”
Sarah’s lips turned up slightly through her tears. “I know He does.”
“But you don’t believe He will work out all things for your benefit?”
Sarah’s smile vanished and she chewed her lip. “I goof up a lot.”
“Yes, you do. And what happens? The world comes to an end?”

How Sarah 'inherited' her dyslexia

CELEBRATING SARAH'S RELEASE DATE!



Author, Gay N. Lewis


"When the idea of a dyslexic angel came to me, I named her Sarah. This poor thing inherited her sense of direction from me. When the GPS devices came to the market, my family made sure I had one. My brother-in-law said, “If anyone needs one, it’s Gay Lewis.”
You’d be surprised what you see when you wander around looking for a destination. Several of Sarah’s adventures came as a result of my personal experiences.
Since Sarah is an angel, she gives me opportunity to weave nuggets of the Christian faith and ideals." Author, Gay N. Lewis

How Gay N. Lewis conned a steak dinner out of her husband

CELEBRATING SARAH'S RELEASE DATE!


Author, Gay N. Lewis

"Amazing, unintended stuff just happens to me, and many of my episodes find their way to scenes in my Sarah Series. I’m similar to Sarah, my dyslexic little angel
Here’s an example. In Sarah: Laney’s Angel, Sarah wanted Cannon to invite Laney to a restaurant.  After a great deal of magical creativity, she managed to get them together. When Cannon began asking Laney a few embarrassing questions, Sarah decided to help the lady avoid answers. Without any thought to consequences, Sarah turned on the overhead fire sprinklers. Her created diversion deluged every diner in the place with water and utter chaos developed. 
In planning this scene, I asked my husband to take me to a steak restaurant so I could make sure those sprinklers existed overhead the way I wanted to describe them in the book.  Am I a con artist or what? I escaped cooking and enjoyed a lovely night out. I planned that evening, but how about the time I accidently drove down a railroad track in the dead of night?  My church members still laugh about that one.  Sarah is destined to have that unforgettable experience soon in one of her episodes.  I’m trying to teach her to drive."

"Sandy, my friend since first grade, reminded me recently of a required paper I’d composed as a third grader.  I don’t remember writing it and was mortified to learn that our mutual teacher gave it to her way back then as a keepsake. Perhaps I was envious because the teacher chose her to leave class to run errands. I’m told my creation went something on this order, “Sandy is the teacher’s pet, and if she ever misses a day of school, the whole school will have to shut down.” Even then, humor was the element I employed in most of my stories.

            As a third grader, I organized neighborhood kids to perform musicals. I charged ten cents per show.

            In the seventh grade, I wrote a story about a teen who longed for a boyfriend. The ninth grade guy sitting beside me in study hall seized the thing, read it, and then winked at me. Perhaps he imagined himself as the one I wished for. He had no idea how wrong he was. As he watched, I tore the story into bits and never wrote another word in his presence. Perhaps Sarah should incorporate something similar as she deals with the romantic give and take of mortals.

During the junior high years, I wrote plays for the church youth programs on a toy typewriter.  Although the instrument suffered with inadequate print, the youth group learned their parts, and we preformed my plays.

As an adult, I’ve written numerous articles for church newsletters, and I’ve produced three video productions for the retail market." Author, Gay N. Lewis
