Meet Camelia Bennett, author of A Soul's Caress, at Bethany Beach Books on Thursday, July 23rd at 6:30pm.

Camelia Bennet grew up in a small town where nothing ever really happened. But that didn't stop her from finding the adventures and excitement she longed for in books. She even tried her hand at writing a story in high school, but soon it was tucked away along with other childhood memories on a shelf. Life passed by: marriage, kids, and work all took her away from the wondrous worlds she used to visit. That was until her youngest reminded her that it's never too late to reconnect with the person she thought was lost forever. After discovering an entire online world where people just like her shared their own unique stories, Camelia decided to take a chance and write her own book. A few amazing years later, she now has friends all over the world, a hobby she loves, and a life she can be proud of.

A Soul's Caress is a crime thriller about Zayne Matthews, who is a gifted psychic, and Bodie Hale, a young detective with a knack for catching serial killers. Zayne's frightening connection to a serial killer roaming the streets of Baltimore allows him to see through the killer's eyes. Bodie is brought in to help Zayne track down the elusive maniac, but is unaware of Zayne's ability until he witnesses Zayne experiencing a vision first-hand. The killer has a unique interest in Zayne and his ability, leaving him gifts in the form of mutilated bodies. The more Zayne and Bodie work together, the closer their bond becomes. Zayne helps Bodie heal the rift between the detective and his mother, and Bodie teaches Zayne how to become stronger and accept his power for the gift it is. However, when their enemy sends a test to Zayne, both men realize just how dangerous the game they're trapped in is.
