Read an exclusive excerpt:
from Night Train to Hong Kong by Ottilia Scherschel:
On the night of December 18, the high-speed train waited in Beijing’s main station. Sarah Crawford, washed along by the crowd, moved toward a brightly lit platform. Balancing a rolling bag and tucking an oversized purse close to her body, she passed a guy wearing a Santa suit and jamming on a saxophone. She smiled at this odd interpretation of Christmas and trudged up a few steps to board a type of train she had never ridden.
About the Authors:
Jill Jaynes began her love affair with romance when she was a teenager growing up in Southern California, spending many a late-night under the covers with a flashlight and good romance novel. This early addiction stuck, and she discovered one day that telling great stories was even more fun than reading them.When she’s not writing, you can find her a) wine-tasting, hiking or otherwise hanging out with her awesome husband, b) walking her two high-maintenance dogs, c) plotting her next story with her writer-daughter or d) working at her day job in her spare time.
