Tell us about your
latest book, Close Enemy.
Close Enemy is a sequel to my last book, Common Enemy, but
can easily stand alone. It’s a twisted little romantic suspense. Murder and
mayhem with a few laughs mixed in.
I love sequels, especially when we met characters in the last book we want to know more about or see in their own story. What gave you the
idea for this book and what made you want to write it?
In Common Enemy, Caleb, brother to the main character, had
to give an alibi. He was with a woman, but didn’t know her last name or any
other personal information. I asked myself who she could have been. Ta Da, the
next story was born.
How did you come up
with your characters for this book?
I like to write about everyday people. My goal with Caleb
and Leah was to show that appearances can be deceiving. Caleb appears to be a
wealth, confident, professional, but in reality he’s been stripped of
confidence and self esteem by an incident in his past. Leah feels hopeless and
worthless, just another poverty class worker bee, but actually has more savvy
and strength than she knows.
What do you like best
about your current hero?
He shoves his pain aside to do the right thing for his
family and others who depend on him.
What about your
heroine?
She’s done without all her life, but she’s proud and
independent.
They sound like characters we want to get to know better. How about a blurb?
Caleb McCrae is a powerful man with a broken soul. In six
years, Leah was the only person to help him forget the painful memories, but
only for one night. Now she seems to have disappeared. A mysterious letter
arrives, and she’s in trouble… in more ways than one.
Leah Fletcher's life is complicated. To care for her drug and alcohol addicted mother she works at a sleazy men's club...until she finds out she's pregnant and is frame for a crime that lands her in jail. When a stranger visits, she learns her troubles have just begun.
Bogdan Petrov has waited eleven years to get back the money Leah's father stole from him. Despite her denials, he knows she's hiding it. He's arranged to infiltrate every part of her life until he gets what he wants, but soon realizes that an unknown person is doing the same to him.
What are you working
on now?
I’m currently working on a mystery. It’s my first
who-done-it. It’s about a first year patrol officer who helps a handsome lead
detective solve her own mother’s murder.Also, I’m outlining a humorous private detective story with light paranormal elements. I’m thinking about making this one a series.
I also have a series of five short stories I’m playing with.
They’re vintage romance, circa late 1950s.
That sounds like you have a lot going on, and readers can look forward to much more of your work! How can readers reach
you or find you online?
