Frozen Memories in Frozen Crimes – A Guest Post by Chrys Fey
Although I was born in Michigan, I don’t remember anything about it because my family moved to Florida when I was two years old, when my father was transferred to Patrick Air Force Base. What I do remember about Michigan comes from the one time I took a trip up there, alone, at the age of eighteen to visit my dad and brother.
During my stay, my dad drove me around so I could experience highlights of Michigan and get the full freezing experience, which included going to a frozen lake. Don’t ask me which one. For all I know, it might’ve been a really big pond. (I’m a Floridan now, forgive me.) My dad drove onto the ice, while I imagined sinking…the Titanic…drowning. He insisted it was okay. In fact, there was another truck on the ice close by, and much farther out. Luckily, my dad didn’t drive too far out on the ice.
I can still hear the sound of the tires on the ice as he eased the truck forward, and, once parked, the silence. I couldn’t believe how silent it was there. That simple memory, what I felt, and my thoughts are now a part of Frozen Crimes.
A peek between the pages of Frozen Crimes:
Donovan also showed Beth frozen lakes, but when he drove onto the ice a little ways, Beth nearly had a heart attack. He reassured her it was okay, that it wasn’t deep there and the ice was thick. Regardless of what he said, she gripped the door’s side handle. Eventually, she relaxed. They stayed in the truck and stared out at the expanse of ice. It was so calm. She got the chills from how serene the frozen lake appeared to be, but beneath it, water moved and fish thrived.
Life went on, even under a thick layer of ice.
When disasters strike around every corner, is it possible to have a happily-ever-after?
Tell us a little about Frozen Crimes: Beth and Donovan are expecting their first child. Life couldn’t get any better…until a stalker makes his presence known. This person sends disturbing messages and unsettling items, but it isn’t long before his menacing goes too far.
Hoping for a peaceful Christmas, Donovan takes Beth to Michigan. Days into their trip, a winter storm named Nemesis moves in with the goal of burying the state. Snowdrifts surround their house, and the temperature drops below freezing.
Except, the storm isn’t the only nemesis they must face. Everyone’s lives are at stake—especially that of their unborn child. Will they survive, or will they become a frozen crime?

EXCERPT:
The crunch of the shovel pounding into the snow and ice filled his ears. It was all he could hear. The rest of the street was silent beneath its wintry blanket. Breathing was difficult with the icy air clogging his lungs. His nose burned. His throat was dry and on fire. But he ignored it, focusing on his task.
Crack, crack, crack.
He jabbed the shovel into a hunk of snow. On the third hit, it shattered into several pieces. He scooped them up and flung them to the side. He surveyed what remained. There was one big ball in the middle of the path that needed to be dealt with next. He moved over to it and struck it. That one impact had it severing in two. He was about to hit it again when something crashed into the back of his head.
Explosions of white light danced over his vision. Pain enveloped his skull. The shovel slipped from his fingers. Blackness cloaked his mind, coaxing him
into its depths.
Beth. Her name was a whisper in his head, as if his thoughts were being sucked into a wormhole.
His legs collapsed under his weight.
Cold. It seeped into him, consuming him. And then his consciousness fled down that same void that ate his thoughts.
