What's Left of Her: a novella (The Betrayed Trilogy)
Page 9
“I’ll expect to hear from you at least once a week,” Uncle Walter said. “And monthly visits. You’re not that far from home that you can’t make the trip once a month.”
“Of course,” Alex said, dipping her head to hide a smile. He got like this every time she told him she was going away somewhere. Call. Visit. Don’t forget to…. “Of course I’ll come home.”
“Good.” He picked at a piece of lint on the sleeve of his gray suit. “I want to be kept informed.” He looked up, met her gaze. “Remember, all or nothing.”
“I’ll remember.” He was never going to let her forget unless she redeemed herself with this next project.
He stood, brushed a hand over his slacks and said, “This place you’re going to, does it have a name?”
“Restalline. It’s called Restalline.”

About the Author
Mary Campisi should have known she’d become a writer when at age thirteen she began changing the ending to all the books she read. It took several years and a number of jobs, including registered nurse, receptionist in a swanky hair salon, accounts payable clerk, and practice manager in an OB/GYN office, for her to rediscover writing. Enter a mouse-less computer, a floppy disk, and a dream large enough to fill a zip drive. The rest of the story lives on in every book she writes.
When she’s not working on her craft or following the lives of five young adult children, Mary’s digging in the dirt with her flowers and herbs, cooking, reading, walking her rescue lab mix, Cooper, or on the perfect day, riding off into the sunset with her very own ‘hero’ husband on his Ultra Limited aka Harley.
Mary has published with Kensington, Carina Press, The Wild Rose Press, and Jocelyn Hollow Romance.
