Beyond Yesterday
by Candice Poarch

Nugget City, a small town in the high desert of Nevada, is heading for extinction, but the mayor is determined to keep the town from turning into one of the state’s 300 ghost towns. To save it he brings back Jason Mann, who’d left town under a cloud of suspicion. Will Jason save it, or destroy it?

Allison Cates grew up feeling excluded from her family’s heritage. Now that she has inherited everything, she’s come back to sell the properties, but she has to help save the town or she could lose everything. Yet a long-held family secret puts her in danger.

Can she and Jason do enough to stave off disaster before it’s too late? And will the trouble that caused Jason to leave years ago return with his arrival?

Find romance, suspense, and family drama in this new release by Candice Poarch, BEYOND YESTERDAY.

Candice Poarch's Bio

Candice Poarch takes pride in crafting believable stories featuring African-American heroes and heroines.  The characters in her books demonstrate a strong sense of community and family support.  She firmly believes that everyday life in America (whether small town or major metropolitan city) has its own rich rewards.  She also likes telling stories that will leave today’s busy reader feeling refreshed and hopeful—not always an easy task, she says, but well worth the challenge.

Her fourteenth book, BITTERSWEET, (Dafina, July, 2006) deals with the heart, family, extended family and community.  "I really enjoyed Bittersweet... romance, comedy, mystery and intrigue...I would definitely recommend Bittersweet as a book club selection."  —Karen Monroe, Woman2Woman Book Club member.  Candice Poarch’s fifteenth book, SWEET SOUTHERN COMFORT, will be published by Kimani Press in November, 2006.

A native of Stony Creek, a small town in Southern Virginia, Candice Poarch holds a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Virginia State University.  Formerly a computer systems manager, writing is now her full-time career. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, Multicultural Romance Writers, and Washington Romance Writers, where she  served as publicity coordinator for three years and worked on market news for two years. Investing is her favorite hobby. She  particularly wishes  to teach children the value of investing, feeling that children can use these skills to help provide them with financial security and confidence in their adult lives.

Ms. Poarch is married and has three children.  She currently lives in Springfield, Virginia.
