Lily
looked over her shoulder and, seeing no one, began to relax. It was just her
imagination. It had to be, didn’t it? She could not remember a time when she
did not feel as though someone was watching her.
Sitting
on the beach watching the calm water always seemed to help to ease the panic.
The waves were gently lapping against the driftwood on the beach. The sound of
the seagulls was soothing. The smell of the salty ocean air was comforting. So
why couldn’t she just relax? Today, it did not seem to be working.
Last
night the dreams had kept her awake through most of the night. If only she knew
what they meant. She was so tired of them. They had plagued her for her entire
life, as long as she could remember anyhow. Today was a day filled with questions,
and she just wanted answers. All her life she had worked at blocking
memories.
Maybe
it was time for her to lay her past to rest. The idea of it terrified her, and
she really wasn’t sure why. She wanted to move forward in her life; it was time.

Excerpt 
Lily
made the drive out to the ferry’s loading area. There were ferries that went
every couple of hours or so. As she waited in line for the ferry to take her to
the mainland, her mind drifted to her dreams. She pulled out her dream journal
and began to make notes about what she knew about her past. It was difficult at
first to think about it. But it was necessary. She knew that now. She had been
keeping the journal for a while now; the counsellor had suggested that it might
highlight some of the recurring events and make things easier to figure
out.

the Past (Spring Trilogy Book #1)
Excerpt
Angie
sighed. A small smile began to form as she recalled the moments that led up to
this incredible feeling. Life was good-no, life was amazing. It hadn't always
been, but today at forty-six, it sure was. She had reached a good space in her
life. She was content, in love, at peace with her past, and excited about her
future. Tomorrow she was marrying her soul mate. She had nearly given up hoping
she would find him.
He had
actually prayed that she would find him before his birthday. Or so he said, and
she had no reason not to believe him. As she sat on the beach watching the
waves roll in, the memories of a lifetime came crashing in, reminding her to
cherish the past . . .

About
the Author
Sandra
Steiner relocated to Vancouver Island in 2010 to pursue a dream of living near
the ocean. She met her soul mate Cory in the spring of 2013 and a
short six months later they were married. They combined lives, homes, children,
and fur babies to create a life they both love. They are both
creative individuals and as Sandra writes, Cory composes music for an upcoming
CD.
There
are parallels in Sandra's writing and real life, that's true. However, the
motive for writing her novels is to inspire her readers to be strong,
independent women. Sandra believes if you believe in yourself, anything is
possible. The novels are suitable for teen through adult readers. Both of
Sandra's novels have been well received, and Cherish the Past has recently been
awarded the gold seal of literary excellence!
