About Elizabeth Horton-Newton, the Seductress of Suspense
Elizabeth Horton-Newton has been called the Seductress of Suspense because she draws readers into her stories, builds suspense, and, when the solution seems obvious, she pulls a rabbit out of a hat and reveals a dark truth. Her lifelong interest in the Kennedy assassination conspiracy resulted in her first novel, "View From the Sixth Floor: An Oswald Tale". With the release of her second book, "Riddle", she once again tackles a social issue: the illegal adoption of First Nations babies separated from their families. Small-town prejudices against people of color and "outsiders" lead to a unique friendship between two young people. Weaving a romantic thriller around the issues, she creates rich characters in all her writing, drawing the reader into their lives. With her education in Criminal Psychology, Sociology, and Media Communications, she offers a unique insight into how criminals think and how society responds to their crimes. Volunteering in local Domestic Violence groups in her hometown, she likes to confront social problems in her stories. A member of the Tennessee Authors' Guild, Elizabeth currently lives in a 100-year-old haunted house with her husband, writer Neil Douglas Newton, and her dog, Scout (named for a character in "To Kill a Mockingbird"), and Starla Hartless, her co-author Yorkshire Terrier. Not limited to a single genre, she has written erotic romance, "Carved Wooden Heart" (with the mysterious Starla Hartless), and the suspenseful "Stolen Gypsy", as well as novelettes through Electric Eclectic Books. With another torrid romance, "Candie's Heart", due out this year, she is also currently working on a new novel, "Blood on Murder Highway", loosely based on the murders and disappearances of indigenous women in the Pacific Northwest. There is also a crime noir novella in the works, as well as an anthology of short stories and poems she's written over the years. When she isn't writing, she is usually traveling or taking photographs and often both simultaneously.

Edging up on forty years old she hires a local high school ex-boyfriend to remodel her newest acquisition, an antebellum mansion, Coleridge House.

Erik Schmidt is a town sheriff and one of Candie's early boyfriends. Their relationship had ended on a sour note and Erik had finally moved on. Now, years later, he was divorced and his eyes set on his old flame, Candie. Some people just don't know when things are over and Erik is one of those people. Will Candie give in to her feelings for Chance? Or will Erik eliminate his supposed rival and get Candie back? This is a taut romance with enough thrills to keep you turning the pages. What can Jackson do to help his old and dear friend navigate the choppy channels of her life? More than just a cougar romance, Candies Heart is a tumultuous tale of small town relationships.
