Book Description

January 20, 2005
Abduction is now available in an inexpensive mass market paperback edition! Even as she breathes out her baby's name, Karen Matthews knows that her worst nightmare has become a reality. Her seven-month-old is gone, stolen during the night. When the police call a famous psychic, Zoe Shefford, to use her mysterious "powers" to locate the child, Karen hesitates. When her husband suddenly disappears as well, Karen becomes the prime suspect. Apparently, God has forgotten about poor Karen Matthews, left to mourn the loss of her baby, her husband, and even her faith-or has He? That's what Karen-and Zoe-must find out before it's too late.

Born in Silver Spring, Md. in 1955, Wanda left Maryland at the age of 18 to see what the world had to offer. After living in NYC for a year, it was off to TN, then OH, MA, NJ, FL, PA, DE, and finally back to Maryland just before the release of her first book. She currently lives on a 125 acre horse farm in Western Maryland with 12 horses, her German Shepherd, Maya, Australian Shepherd, Dusty, various chickens, barn cats, and two pet rabbits.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a page turner!, August 25, 2004
By 
Abduction will keep you up nights with its expertly woven twists and cliffhangers! This thriller is unusual in that it has controversial issues to present. Nearly every character learns to view issues from others' perspectives and grows from this new awareness.
If there is a weakness in Abduction, it is that Ms. Dyson presents too many issues which necessitates a few too many sub-plots. Sometimes the constant switching between story lines made for an anxious read.
Regardless, I enjoyed Abduction tremendously and would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy a wholesome thriller!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Read Could not put it down., July 22, 2004

N. N Perez "LUV2Read" (Las Vegas, Nv United States) - See all my reviews

This book was fantastic. The author did a fantastic job with keeping this story alive through the entire book. I could not put this book down. The story kept taking on new life all the way to the final chapter. My only regret is that now I have to wait til Nov. to read the next book. I am going to learn one day to not pick up a series until the author has written the entire story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars A can-t-put-it-down read!, November 5, 2003
Wow! So glad to a see a fresh new voice from a real storyteller. Dyson combines mystery, suspense and romance and even a good dose of humor for a real page-turner. I planned to liesurely work my way through the story and ended up finishing it overnight! Her characters, from the hard-nosed detective, and victimized mother, to the tantilizing psychic immediately grab you. On top of it all, Dyson tackles the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people." The story is immensely satisfying by the time you've turned the last page. I can't wait for the sequel. You'll want to curl up in your favorite chair and totally enjoy this book, but beware--if you read it in bed late at night, you might find yourself hearing strange noises and having to get up to check for intruders. You'll find yourself involved with the characters from page one.
