Welcome to Fliterary! We love
making new friends.
Let’s sit together on the swings
and you can introduce yourself:
You have a new book out, what’s
it about?
Deadly Devotion is the first book
in a three-book romantic suspense/mystery series called Port Aster’s Secrets.
Each book will have a standalone mystery, but the romance and an underlying
suspense plot will arc the series.
In book 1: Herbal medicine researcher Kate Adams
knows her friend didn’t commit suicide, as the police suspect, and is
determined to prove it. But standing in the way is Detective
Tom Parker who has the niggling suspicion that Kate might be the killer.
When Kate’s
investigation unearths a web of suspicious goings-on in the sleepy town of
Port Aster, will Tom believe her innocence and catch the real murderer
before Kate becomes the next victim?

If we invited your main character
to sit with us, how would she/he react?
Kate would be delighted to sit
with you and share one of her unique blends of herbal teas. Unless you’re a
cop, she’s not comfortable around cops, ever since a pair hauled her father
away when she was ten.
What would they say? What advice
would they give?
She is anxious to solve her
friend’s murder, so she’d probably share a few theories she has. She likely
wouldn’t talk to you about guys…as most women enjoy doing. The one she’s
attracted to happens to be the cop who refused to reopen her friend’s murder
case so she’s not going to want to go there.
If any one person from history
could sit with us, who would it be and why?
Oh, Kate would want him to be Culpeper
who wrote Culpeper’s Complete Herbal, originally published in 1653. It was the
first herbal medicine book written in English instead of Latin.
Why did you choose to be a
Christian writer and what does it mean to you?
I write Christian fiction because
I want my stories to be not only entertaining, but thought-provoking, inspiring
and uplifting. Reading about characters
facing difficult situations and seeing how they work through them and confront
challenges to their faith has inspired me in countless ways. I’d love to know
my stories do that for others.
What advice do you have for
aspiring authors?
Don’t be in a hurry to get
published. Take the time to master the craft, build relationships with other
writers and enjoy the journey. And persevere.
