Tide Ever Rising is the story of two sisters - Kaydence
(or Kadie) and Maysha Reynolds, quite different from each other, but very much
devoted to one another. Kadie is in a relationship with Robert Greenly, a
stiff, formal man who you really don't get too endeared with from the beginning
of the story and aren't quite sure why Kadie would be engaged to a man who appears
to care more about his mother than he does her.
Kadie is a junior high history teacher in Utah who
is spending the last few weeks of break exploring ghost towns with her
reluctant sister, when she accidently falls upon a hidden journal along with
some other artifacts from a young woman that used to live in the fallen-down house
many years ago. The artifacts lead Kadie to a strong desire to return them to
their rightful owner and thus propels her on a journey to return the heirlooms.
What she never expected was to find the older woman near death and under the
care of her handsome, and oh, so single grandson, Logan Mathews who is almost
as eager as she is to unravel the mystery revealed from the old journal's pages, putting not only themselves in danger, but anyone else who would dare to
unearth it's secret.
Mandi Slack grew up in Orangeville, Utah, where her
father worked as a coal miner for eighteen years. In 1987 the coal mines shut
down for a time and her father joined the US Army. They were stationed in
Hanau, Germany, and she had the opportunity to explore Europe. Mandi's family
returned to Utah in 1992, and they settled in Orangeville, Utah, where she
attended and completed high school. She then attended the College of Utah,
where she studied Geology.
Eventually Mandi changed her major and moved on to
Utah State University where she completed a degree in special education. She
then married her best friend, Charles Slack. They have three children, two dogs
and a lizard (sometimes several lizards). Their family loves to spend time
together, and one of their favorite things to do is rock hound and camp. Her
house is littered with rocks and minerals. Mandi loves the outdoors, and she
enjoys writing suspenseful novels and short stories. You can contact Mandi
