Blurb:
Recently released from a mental institution, Beth Gregory accepts a job as a live-in secretary/PA to the reclusive painter Josh Warrington. From the first moment he sees her, Beth’s long red hair fascinates him, and Josh wants her to be his Rapunzel for a series of fairy tale paintings on which he’s working.
Beth has two major fears: that she will be sent back to the mental hospital and that the visions which landed her there in the first place will return. They do; this time giving her glimpses of murders before they happen. Beth becomes the main suspect in the murder investigation and then she has the most disturbing vision of all: she will become the next victim…
Reviews:
"If you’re an aficionado of the sub-genre that in the 1950’s and 1960’s was termed “Gothic romantic suspense,” be assured you are going to LOVE “Drowning Rapunzel.” Not only do the settings, the plotting, the locales, and the characters remind me of this beloved sub-genre, but so does the author’s smooth and cosy writing style, almost in a sense tongue-in-cheek not-quite-omniscient narration." -5 Stars from Mallory Heart Reviews
"Drowning Rapunzel, a dark Gothic romance with paranormal elements by Annette Gisby, captured my attention from the first page...I really enjoyed it and if you like a good, Gothic mystery.....I think you will too!" - 4.5 Crowns from Queen of All She Reads
"Hypnotic story, this had a very gothic feel to it. I was entranced from the beginning, the murderer is after Beth and all of the victims have one thing in common, long flowing hair. You are left guessing until the very end on who is behind all the killings. Can’t wait to read what is next from this talented author." 4.5 stars from Musings from An Addicted Reader
"I felt like I stepped into another world or another era, perhaps when I began reading the first lines of this riveting thriller, almost as if I stepped into a Daphne Du Maurier world, which is a sublime treat. I felt immediate sympathy and compassion for the lead character, Beth, who seems too sensitive for this sometimes cruel world." 5 stars, Dermot Davis, author of Zen and Sex and Stormy Weather

Silent Screams
Silent Screams
by Annette Gisby
Psychological Suspense
Cover art by AM Design Studios
After years of suffering, the revelation that she is now pregnant with her abuser's child was too much for Jessica Miller. She tried to end it all with a knife in the bath.
She was saved in time, but now Jessica is learning that survival is only the first step to healing. A mother and a small town who seem to care more about the impropriety of her condition than the horrors that caused it, an inability to share her feelings with the man she loves, and struggles both internal and external over the fate of her unborn child, conspire to crush her from all sides.
As events in her life grow ever darker, can Jessica find the strength to find her way toward the light and break a cycle of abuse? If she can't, it won't just be her leading a life of suffering this time: it will be her child.
Reviews:
"Annette Gisby has created a masterful thriller with her novel, SILENT SCREAMS. It grabs you by the throat from the very first page and does not let you go until the last page is turned." - Kristie Leigh Maguire, author of Desert Heat, Cabin Fever and Emails from the Edge.
"This author writes close to the bone, perhaps awakening things within us all that we would sometimes remain unhidden. Her writing is real, credible and to be applauded for its openess and candor when so many other writers might lose their nerve and seek candy floss and light banter." - Reader Review on amazon.com
"The author deals with issues that come 'too close to home' for many people, but I believe it will help people with being able to confront the monsters in their own lives, and enjoy a spellbinding read in the process." - Janet Elaine Smith, author of House Call to the Past, Dakota Printer, Dunnottar and more.
