Old Flames, Burned Hands
by McGregor, Tim
Struggling to balance
an unstable music career with her obligations as a wife and mom, Tilda Parish’s
life becomes more complicated by the mysterious return of an old boyfriend. One
who died almost twenty years ago...
At 24, Tilda Parish had it all; her own band and a man she
knew was ‘the one’ but fate had other plans. A fatal car crash took her
boyfriend’s life and sent Tilda into a spiral of grief.
Seventeen years later, Tilda is married with a 13-year old
daughter but her career as a singer-songwriter has been turbulent and unstable.
Unable to balance her volatile career with her obligations to her family, Tilda
makes a life-changing decision to walk away from music forever. Yet, after
burning her guitar in a ritual bonfire, Tilda discovers that the past isn’t
done with her. Hints of her old life pop up mysteriously and ghosts of her past
haunt her present.
Alone one night, Tilda confronts an intruder she believes to
be a stalker but the figure that steps from the shadows almost stops her heart.
Her old beau appears, the one who died all those years ago.
He hasn’t aged a day. He says that he never stopped loving
her and that he wants her back. Despite his death and the intervening seventeen
years, Tilda realizes that she never stopped loving him either.
And now Tilda Parish is caught between two worlds; the
everyday world of her husband and family and this new spooky world of an old lover
who has returned from the shadow of death to find her.
What’s an ex-musician to do?
