Author Ronnie Allen.
Hi everyone,
I'm so thrilled to be on S.J's blog today, especially since it's my official release day for Gemini: The Sign behind the Crime, Book 1. Yes, it is a series. Aries will be out in the fall and I'm writing Scorpio, now. It's been quite a journey for me creating Gemini. So much of the characters' are me. They say a little bit of every writer is in their characters but for me, it was full force ahead. As you'll read in my bio, which follows, I hold children, their wellness and safety, close to my heart. Actually in Gemini, I've had the career of the antagonist and protagonist. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I am an energy healer. If you're interested in learning anything about alternative healing therapies, from crystals, tarot, contacting your spirit guide then Gemini is for you. If you want to feel a connection to three characters who've experienced abuse in every form and see there is hope, Gemini is for you. So take a look at what I have on S.J's blog today and see if you'd like to join us on the ride. Please feel free to leave comments and questions, and I'll be happy to answer them.
Thanks again for coming by....
Ronnie
Author Bio:
Ronnie
Allen is a New York City native, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York, where she
was a teacher in the New York City Department of Education for 33 years
including the obtaining of a New York State license as School Psychologist. Her
various roles included classroom teacher, staff developer, crisis intervention
specialist, and mentor for teachers who were struggling. Always an advocate for
the child, Allen carries this through as a theme in her novel Gemini, with the reader seeing the
horrors of child abuse through the eyes of three characters.
In
the early 1990s she began a journey into holistic healing and alternative
therapies and completed her PhD in Parapsychic Sciences in 2001.
Along
the way, Allen has picked up many certifications. She is a Board Certified
Holistic Health Practitioner as well as a crystal therapist, Reiki
practitioner, metaphysician, dream analyst, and Tarot Master Instructor. She
has taught workshops in New York City and in Central Florida where she now lives.
Combining
a love of the crime genre and her psychology background, with her alternative
therapies experiences, writing psychological thrillers is the perfect venue for
her. Read on and see for yourself....
Book Blurb:
His life is exactly the way
he wants it to be—until he meets her…
Both psychic and clairvoyant, Dr. John Trenton
is a forensic psychiatrist who has a wife he worships and a position as a
department head at a hospital for the criminally insane in Manhattan. His
patients—young adult men, who are some of the most psychotic and psychopathic
criminals in NYC—enable him to live his life on the edge, just the way he likes
it. Then he meets a woman who changes everything.
She is
two days from accomplishing the revenge she lives for—until she meets him…
Stripper by night, school psychologist by day,
Gemini obsessed Barbara Montgomery, makes a critical mistake and is committed
for seventy-two hours of observation, where she risks it all in an unnerving
escape. Furious with Dr. Trenton for interfering in her life, she is now
determined to kill his wife and unborn child, along with everyone else who has
ever caused her pain—real or imagined.
As the killing spree continues, John is forced
to use all his ESP, as well as his knowledge and expertise, to interpret this
psychopath’s Gemini obsession and unravel her dark and murderous past. But can
he track her down and bring her to justice—before she destroys his world
completely?

Book Excerpt:
Okay, girlfriend. Let’s get serious here. Tonight’s gotta be the night. Time’s runnin’ away from me.
She
jammed her eyes shut, swallowed hard, and blew out a prolonged breath. Tonight
could be rough. Or impossible. Her heart thumped in expectation of finding the
right person to accompany her in the train wreck of her life.
She had
no choice, but to make it work.
Her life
depended upon it.
Before
she could overthink it, she grabbed the pink paisley duffle bag, which held her
outfit for the job, off the Queen Victoria chair that graced the corner of the
hallway. The entire getup could fit in her jeans pocket but she had to go
fancy. She zipped up the black patent leather stiletto heeled boots, hesitating
for a moment, contemplating if she was getting too old to wear them. After a
last minute once-over in the full length mirror on the adjacent wall, she
reconsidered. Nah, not with her knockout bod. Women half her age didn’t look so
good. Not even any laugh lines around her eyes to give it away. She winked in the
mirror and her emerald contact lenses twinkled back.
She
eased the door closed to her ritzy Manhattan apartment at one a.m. with her
right hand on the knob and her left palm on the door, guiding it to the latch
so that her ears alone heard the soft clicks of the bolt.
Can’t wake those old geezers next door.
Otherwise, I’ll just have to do what I do best.
Chills
of anticipation snaked through her as she traversed the darkened hallway to the
elevator all the while listening for footsteps in her neighbor’s apartment. The
elevator door opened. She slipped in.
All was
good.
They got
to live another night.
