Now, here's Winter!
What is your current project
about?
Book
4 in my Degrees of Darkness series, this is the wrap-up book for my characters
Cody and Remy, called Reckoning.
What’s next for your readers?
It
is actually book 4, set to release in March of 2014. So far the responses for
the previous 3 have been great and I hope my readers enjoy the wrap-up to this
pair and their crazy dangerous lives.
Why do you write in the genre
you do?
Because
I have this insatiable need to create danger and action and throw characters
into chaos every chance I get. I sat in a writers class being taught by a
best-selling suspense author who stated that if you were the type of writer
that was a glass half-empty person, then you make the best suspense authors.
You’re always looking for the worst possible scenario for everything. I’m this
type of person. While my heading might say Romantic Suspense, I’m truly and
clearly a Romantic Thriller author.
Do you have an idea for “the”
book of your career? Have you already written it or is it still an idea
bouncing around in your head?
For
a good chunk of my life I’ve been a military wife. Having lived through a
deployment and watched some of our soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen come
home with the longstanding effects of TBI’s and PTSD I’ve been longing to write
a book with a character coping with this. I’ve actually started said book and
it's a lot different than what I’ve written and published before, this book is
definitely more of a thriller. Whether this is the book of my career or not is
up for debate.
If you could choose two people
to have dinner with, from any time period, real or fictional, who would you
want at the table?
Dick
Francis, because I have to beg him, how did he come up with a different crime
and new character with a different career that somehow tied into horse racing
with every book.
And
Red Skelton, cause I love laughing and that man has always made me laugh.
Are you a dog or cat person?
Both,
and it’s really hard to choose between them, and I guess that’s why I have
both. Though I like having more than one dog, but only one cat.
Would you rather vacation at
the beach or the mountains?
Ooo,
that’s a toughy, since I’ve been to the mountains and never been to the beach
I’d like to go to the beach next. But I still love the mountain areas and would
love to go back, especially in Colorado.
Sun or fog?
Most
definitely sun, fog is okay, but then I’m a Mid-west person and being out in
the timber areas with fog is pretty cool.
Book Blurb:
In New Orleans, justice is best served
with a heavy dose of revenge, and Remy LeBeau intends to tip the scales in his
favor. For good.
Forced to take a mandatory vacation from
the Dallas PD, Remy leaves his girlfriend, Cody, to protect her from what’s to
come. If there’s to be any chance for a normal future for the two of them, he
has to face his enemies and finish what they started—alone.
Cody Lewis gave up on someone once
before, but not this time. She needs to come to terms with Remy’s past and her
own as she seeks him out among the historic and deadly streets of New Orleans.
But she got more than she bargained for. Those who oppose her will find you
don’t get in the way of a determined Texan; especially a woman in love.
As Remy closes in on the nameless faces
who have controlled his life for too long, his ability to save himself and
those closest to him is tested, putting everyone he cares for in grave danger.
And this time, Cody may face the reality of his death.
