    C. Borden

    This is me… Hello! I'm an avid reader and most enjoy the richness of fantasy and science fiction, which inspires me to write stories of my own.  Drawing inspiration from the people and places that have touched my life, my works include lifelike characters, places readers wish they could visit, and an honest look at the struggle between good and evil. The baseline current through all my writing is the message of hope, no matter the obstacle, no matter how dark. While most of my books are not overtly Christian, elements of my faith are clear throughout each book and short story.  I'm a wife, mother, and USAF Veteran. Beyond writing, I enjoy reading, traveling, gardening, and nature photography. When I'm not writing, I'm most likely enjoying the outdoors with friends and family, helping another author get their ideas on paper, or curled up with a good book from one of my favorite authors. I'd love to connect with you on a more personal level. If you would like to get news, sneak peeks, free novels and short stories, and otherwise exclusive content, then I encourage you to sign up for my newsletter - the link can be found on my website.

      CHAPTER ONE

      W hat’s wrong with her, Dr. Frank?

      Her voice was strained, and as she brushed my coat, I could feel the anxiety flow from her. I raised my head to look at her, and I blinked slowly knowing she couldn’t understand in words, but maybe I could convey to her that everything would be okay.

      Dr. Frank had already checked my temperature. She had looked into my
