INTERVIEW 4
Any weird things you do when you’re alone?

I can’t sit still. I’m always doing something. Probably the weirdest thing I will do is find something to do instead of taking advantage of the quiet moment.

What is your favorite quote and why?

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor
“Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.”
This speaks to me on so many levels. First, we all know when we have done wrong whether anyone else knows it or not and the bird around his neck is the decision to atone for his sins of killing the innocent.


Who is your favorite author and why?

Ken Follett. Every story is unique, no formula writing. And, he started just like the rest of us, struggling to make his creative voice heard, small novels and worked his way into the stories he wanted—needed to tell.

What, in your opinion, are the most important elements of good writing?

Being a good listener. Listen to your critique partners, the opinions of your Beta Group, the editor, and most of all to your surroundings and those who inspire the story.

Where did you get the idea for this book?

​The inspiration came from being in a “Hit ‘n Run”, where though I was not at fault, I hit the other vehicle and he fled the scene.

BLURB:

Determined to build a better life, and forget their past, a freak accident crashes Lorna Tymchuk and Mitch Morgan back into each other’s lives.

It’s more than a “Hit ’n Run” that needs to be taken care of at the police station. False identification, miscommunication and a past better left buried surface to plunge these recently reunited lovers into a deadly game of cat and mouse trying to figure out who the bad guys really are.

All threads pulled threaten the very fabric of their fragile relationship. Caught between desire suspicions, each must decide who to trust and how far to go to follow their instincts.


Excerpt:

The long, black hearse sat in the shade of the leafy willows, unnoticed in the quiet, upscale neighbourhood. Like a panther surveying its prey, watchful behind the tinted glass, undercover officer Mitchell Morgan scrutinized the surroundings, ever conscious of the contents in the back.

Mouth parched, complete with a tongue as dry as sand, Mitchell tilted the water bottle slowly and swallowed, enjoying the moist coolness as it trickled down his throat. Satisfied, he slumped farther in the leather seat, aware of the children in the driveway on the corner, the stooped, elderly man picking weeds in the yard nearby, the teen across the street who sat hunched over his DS, on the front concrete step, looking bored.

The holstered cell next to his leg vibrated an insistent stutter, shattering the serene atmosphere. Mitch spared the screen a brief glance.

Blocked.

Without air conditioning, beads of sweat coasted from his brow, under his shades and into his eye, stinging and obscuring his vision. He blinked several times to clear the fog and pressed the accept key.

Three quick, muted tones preceded a double click, to indicate a secure line. A small thrill travelled along his nervous system, leaving a wake of gooseflesh.

“Nine-one-three-Q-R-two-two-E-D-U.” Only after he gave his code would dispatch relay the encrypted message.

“Funeral procession to start,” replied a robotic voice. “All pallbearers to the church.”

A long high-pitched tone pierced his ear. He moved the phone away and severed the connection.

He held the phone level with the steering wheel. His thumb smeared across the face of the cell leaving a greased streak on the screen, while his heart slowed. Within an instant his mind refocused to what was to come next. His left hand moved to smooth his beard. Months of building a case and gathering evidence had come down to this moment.

He turned the engine over and banged the heel of his hand on the steering wheel. “Game on.”
