Kelli Owen was born and raised in Wisconsin and now resides in Pennsylvania where she's written a number of novellas and a few of my favorite books, including Live Specimens, Six Days, and White Picket Prisons.
Kelli's newest novella, wilted lilies, originally appeared as a four-part story in the quarterly magazine, lamplight and is now available in both paperback and e-book formats.
wilted lilies is a well-told little story about Lily May, a teen-aged girl with a gift. Her mamma always said she had the shine. She knew when people were gonna pass. Later she could hear what they were thinking . Later still she could speak to the dead. It's this last gift I found to be the most compelling. as wilted lilies evolved into a charming little ghost story.
It's challenging to say much more about this novella without giving it all away. Let's just say there is a lot to like in this story, with elements of suspense, the paranormal, and the pacing of a good thriller.
Although self contained, I like the way the door was left open for more of Lily May's tale. As a matter of fact, the author even thanks Lily May in her acknowledgements, "for coming to life, and speaking to me like no other character...don't worry honey, we're not done."
I can easily recommend this new book from Kelli Owen, just as I do all of her work. If you're not reading her stuff you should get on that right away.
