About Patricia Bell

Patricia Bell is a forty something year old (give or take) whose brain has been scorched by the hot desert Arizona sun. Which, by the way, is the setting for most of her stories. She's authored several books and is continually writing, whether in her head or on the screen. Her characters are often sharp witted and sarcastic and more often than not, find themselves in a bit of trouble.

Patricia is married to her best friend and has three grown children who think they know better than she. Who knows, maybe they do.

As a Christian, her stories each have a message of grace and hope as well as suspense and a tiny touch of romance. She is an Avid reader of Christian fiction of any kind, and sometimes dabbles into the unknown world of Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, and John Grisham.

KANGA: SUPERHEROES AND VILLAINS — KANGAN vs MAYHEM Jan 15, 2021

by Patricia Bell

$0.99

A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for lightning to run through the body. Third-degree burns, singed hair, clothes shredded by the explosive force being superheated up to five times hotter than the sun’s surface. Your eardrums could blow, cardiac arrest, or the heat could literally cook your brain … well, you get the idea, anyway.

So, imagine everyone’s surprise when after being struck by lightning at age four while playing my favorite video game - KANGA: SUPERHEROES AND VILLAINS that I woke up with only a small scar on my wrist.

Shortly after, I began displaying the same powers as my character in the game, such as Super Punch and Mega Bounce to name a few.

It’s a secret I’ve lived with for almost a decade, but recently it has been nearly impossible to keep.

Oh yeah, and as it turns out, I have an arch-enemy, Mayhem, and he’s out to harm someone very important to me.

There’s only one way to stop Mayhem, and I’m the only one who can do it.

Join me, Kangan, and my buddy Brennan, AKA Diesel, in this epic battle!

And to top it off – I do have family! Turns out my mother lied to me all my life. And that’s not all she lied about. Unbelievable!

From Good to Bad

Aunt Kari glances toward the sound of the ringing phone with a puzzled expression. She looks back at the two of us, shrugs, and then rushes into the kitchen to grab it before it goes to voicemail.

I stop and listen for a second. Nothing big, just polite conversation. I continue sweeping, thinking it’s probably someone trying to sell eco-friendly cleaning products or something. But then, her voice rises in a very Un-Aunt Kari like tone.

“What? . . . This can’t be happening,” she cries. “There’s no way I’m letting her go back there.”

At the mere tone of her voice, my heart drops into my tennis shoes. The subconscious threat that has hovered in the back of my mind suddenly leaps into my chest. My stomach squeezes into a ball at the realization — I’m the her she’s speaking of. I drop the broom, and it bounces to the carpet, making only a muffled thump. Still, Uncle Derek glances over at me. Evidently, he hasn’t heard the conversation going on in the other room.

That’s when I realize the inevitable has happened … My mother is out of jail.

From Lies to Truth

“Guess who’s back at school this year?” Amy asks before I get a chance to sit down.

“Who?” I don’t know why I inquire, because I’m sure I don't know who she’s talking about, anyway.

She leans in closer to me — so close, I can smell the cheeseburger she just took a bite of. “Josie Mendez,” she whispers so softly I can barely hear her.

Who in the world is that and why would I care? I stare at her politely puzzled. Wait a minute. Why does that name sound familiar?

“Hey, slugger. What’s the big secret?” Chris walks up behind me and places his hands on my shoulders. That’s when it hits me. Like a plug that’s been pulled in a sink with an open drain — Josie Mendez. The girl who accused Chris of raping her when he was a freshman.

“The Josie Mendez?” I turn around to see Chris’s brows tighten into rigid lines. “His Josie Mendez?”

“What about her? Haven’t we already—”

“She’s back.”

Girl Unbroken

As I stare at the off-white ceiling of the ambulance, my body is numb, my eyes blurred. Tight straps confine me to yet another prison — a gurney. For my own protection, they said. The muffled blare of sirens echo in my ears. But even after all I’ve been through, all I can think about is that strange, haunting voice — The girl on the other side of the door. It ricochets off the sides of my skull.

I’m not going to leave you, she whispered from the other side of my prison cell. The police are on their way. It was so gentle, caring, so self-assured. What’s your name? she asked. Mine is Karina.
How could she be so calm? Soon the monster would be back, and he would do to her what he’d done to me. I wanted to scream at her to run. Get out of there as fast as she could, but she was my only hope. Hope for what? There was nothing left to hope for. Still . . .
