\"a_little_bit_of_madness\"<\/a>I’m thrilled to be part of Sheryl Browne’s cover reveal\/blog tour for her latest novel A Little Bit of Madness. So without further ado, take it away Sheryl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi Melanie!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for inviting me along today and helping me launch A Little Bit of Madness<\/strong><\/em>, my fourth book published by Safkhet Publishing<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Rather than waffle on \u2013 as I tend to, with Melanie\u2019s kind permission, I\u2019ve included a blurb and brief excerpt below. I do hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n

A Little Bit of Madness<\/h2>\n

No rest for the wicked
\nSaving Charlton hall will burrow into your heart.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Celia Summers, intrepid mother of two, is too cuddly for sweatpants, she suspects. But then, her class at The Harbour Rest Home are similarly clad. Celia loves her work as an art therapist. She\u2019s proud that she gives her elderly independents something to look forward to, even if her partner, Martin, disapproves of her efforts. He also has other things on his mind – telling complicated lies to Celia so he can sell Charlton Hall, his mum\u2019s house, to pay off his debts.
\nMeanwhile, Celia fights to secure gallery space for her geriatric charges\u2019 artwork, and to keep The Harbour from being closed. She\u2019s even ready to abseil from a church steeple to bring attention to the plight of her old people, no matter that she might fall and end up splattered all over the flagstones. When she does fall, however, it\u2019s much more painful – in love with PC Alex Burrows. Will he be her white-knight-in-blue and ride to her rescue?<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Alex wasn\u2019t listening. He was off, at a run towards the church. She wasn\u2019t bloody well stuck. He knew it. Her shoulders were hunched. Her eyes would be clamped shut. He didn\u2019t have to see her up close to know that. Her palms would be sweating. He wiped the sweat from one of his own as he took the steps to the roof two at a time. Her mouth would be dry and her heart beating fit to burst.
\n\u2018It\u2019s okay, I\u2019m a policeman,\u2019 he said, pushing past an instructor with a stock-of-the-trade reassuring statement. \u2018Alex,\u2019 he introduced himself to the lead instructor. \u2018What\u2019s happening?\u2019
\n\u2018Robert.\u2019 The instructor shook his hand, looking relieved. \u2018I\u2019m not sure. She was doing okay. Scared, but doing okay, until that last slide and then\u2014\u2019
\n\u2018Air to base,\u2019 said the colonel behind them, holding his mobile walkie-talkie style. \u2018Air to base, over. Ah, Alex.\u2019 He caught sight of his son. \u2018Bit of situation, hey what? Lorst her bottle, I\u2019m afraid. Happens to the best of us.\u2019 He tsked sympathetically. \u2018Now what I suggest is that one of us stays up here and keeps in touch with the ground troops and one of us goes over the edge.\u2019
\nAlex sighed. \u2018Dad. Go down.\u2019
\n\u2018Ah, yes, well, I would, of course. Bit of a dodgy heart though, don\u2019t y\u2019\u2014\u2019
\n\u2018Dad, for Christ\u2019s sake, this is no time for war games! Go down the bloody steps, will you?! The, er, women are on their own.\u2019 Alex noted his father\u2019s deflated look and softened his tone.
\n\u2018Great,\u2019 he muttered, as the colonel nodded sadly and about-faced. As if bellowing at an old man was going to help the situation. Dammit, he\u2019d have to apologise\u2014later. Right now, as Celia might well be in considerable danger, he needed to do his job.
\nAnd, this time, he needed to do it right.
\nQuelling a sudden queasiness, Alex pulled in a breath and walked to the edge.
\n\u2018She won\u2019t budge.\u2019 Robert nodded towards where Celia dangled, looking neither up, nor down, and hearing nothing it seemed, including the other instructor who\u2019d lowered himself and was reaching towards her. \u2018She could have her rope caught. It does happen, but personally I think she\u2019s\u2014\u2019
\nPetrified, thought Alex grimly, as Celia\u2019s terrified tones reached his ears, causing the other instructor to draw back. \u2018No-o-o!\u2019 she screamed. \u2018Don\u2019t! I can\u2019t!\u2019
\nThe instructor looked up, shaking his head as Celia clung tight to her rope, determined to stay where she was. Unable to do anything but, Alex knew. She was frozen. Literally unable to move, bar an involuntary shaking of limbs. The same debilitating shaking he\u2019d once experienced.
\nVertigo.
\nA frightening compulsion to jump. Far from forcing you back from the edge, vertigo forced you forward, the void below sucking the will to resist from you\u2014and you into oblivion.
\nAnd if you tried to tackle it, tried to cross that slatted bridge, climb that ladder, abseil \u2026 Total shut down. Sheer immobilising terror.
\nThat\u2019s where Celia was. And Alex had been there.
\nHe swallowed hard, and sucked in another deep breath. \u2018Let me try,\u2019 he said. \u2018I\u2019m trained, don\u2019t worry. Tactical Police Training Centre: Abseil tower, climbing course \u2026 I know what I\u2019m doing,\u2019 he didn\u2019t lie, but left out the cognitive therapy course he\u2019d also taken to overcome a fear that had cost him dearer than anything else ever had in his life.
\n\u2018She\u2019s a friend,\u2019 he said, as Robert hesitated. \u2018She might listen to me.\u2019
\nRobert debated a second longer, then signalled the other instructor to clear the way. He helped Alex into his abseiling gear, finally fastening the karabiner to the rope, which would stop him plunging to the ground.
\nAlex swallowed again. It would work, he reassured himself.
\nThe figure of eight piece of metal, which acted as a brake, might not look very impressive, but it worked.
\nHe\u2019d done that damn abseil tower over and over. Until he could do it with his eyes closed \u2026 and without the crippling fear in the pit of his stomach.
\n\u2018Kick off against the wall once you\u2019re over.\u2019 Robert instructed. \u2018Then you\u2019ll need to kick off two, maybe three times before you\u2019re level.\u2019
\n\u2018Got it.\u2019 Alex gave him a tight smile, then nodded to indicate he was ready. Right, okay, he could do this. And he would damn well get it right. This time there would be no indecision. No hesitation. Not this time.
\nAlex gritted his teeth and kicked off.
\nNo casualties.
\nChrist, where did that come from?
\nAlex breathed deeply and tried to still a nauseating flashback.
\nHe closed his eyes and breathed out. Concentrate. He told himself.
\nIt\u2019s too late! Something screamed in his head.
\nHe panted out another breath. It\u2019s not too late.
\nNo fucking voices. Not this time.
\nYou can\u2019t reach her.
\nStop!
\nAlex wiped his forehead against his arm. He tried hard not to look down.
\nDon\u2019t. He willed himself.
\nYou can do this. You have to. For Christ\u2019s sake \u2026 just do it!
\nHe willed himself on. Willed the fear he\u2019d tried so hard to forget from clutching at his chest. The same paralysing fear had gripped him when his wife needed him most. The fear that turned to out-and-out dread as he\u2019d attempted to talk her down, his heart pounding so loud he could hear it.
\nOr was that his heart beating now?
\nUseless, said the voice in his head.
\nChrist, he was so fucking useless.
\nThere was no point talking to anyone, raking things over, looking for reasons. Not to Celia. Not to anyone. That one single word summed him up.
\nAll he\u2019d had to do was hold on, take one more step toward Nicole\u2014hold all of her. One step and he\u2019d faltered. Jesus. He dropped his gaze, and the ground beckoned and swayed below him.
\n\u2018Shit!\u2019 he said out loud, sucking air deep into his lungs as his foot slipped, sending him slamming into the wall. Oh, Jesus \u2026 He twirled and dangled, closed his eyes and prayed.
\n\u2018Alex?\u2019 came a small voice beside him. \u2018Alex?\u2019 Celia repeated. \u2018Are you all right?\u2019
\nAlex clung to his rope and tried to focus on the simple act of breathing.
\n\u2018You\u2019re not, are you?\u2019
\n\u2018Uh-uh.\u2019 He shook his head, indicating he was very much not all right.<\/p>\n
