Inside Mary Alice Pritchard

ST: Hi, Mary Alice Pritchard, welcome and thank you for visiting with us this week.
MAP: Thank you for having me and being interested in my writing.

ST: Let’s show the world your beautiful cover for See How They Die.

ST: Tell us a about yourself.

MAP: Let’s see, what would people like to know about me? I’m a Mississippi girl, originally from the Delta but I’ve lived just about all over the state now. I’m also a nurse besides being a writer. I’m divorced with no children, but I have several feline muses to keep me in line. And, if they fail, there’s always Roxie, my Great Dane.

ST: Your current release, See How They Die, will be released in April. Please tell us about the book.

MAP: It’s a dark romantic suspense with paranormal elements in that the heroine is psychic and the hero has his own unique abilities. We all may wish our dreams would come true, but in Rhiannon’s case, they’re nightmares. They sweep her into the violent death of people she’s touched and become connected to during her life. They haunt her over and over until it’s too late for the victims.

Rhi’s spent last few years of her life trying to run from the dreams but she can’t hide anymore. Her latest dreams turn out to be someone close by and she can’t afford to ignore them this time. Not just because she’s tired of running, but because something’s different about them this time. It’s not just a random murder, it’s the work of a serial killer and she knows he’ll strike again. Determined to help the local sheriff stop him before he kills does, Rhi has to set aside her own fears, placing her trust and just maybe her life into the hands of another lost soul.
Sheriff Matt Brady of Izard County knows he needs help with this one and calls an old partner for help. Gavin’s unique abilities made him one of the army’s best specialists for over eight years. When his partner called it quits, Gavin mustered out as well. Now Matt needs his special brand of help to stop a serial killer. But how can a man seemingly beyond redemption offer a woman afraid of living a light to hold onto while she explores the sick mind of a killer? Can Rhi’s touch awaken the light within his soul and keep them both safe?

ST: How did you come up with the story line?

MAP: I’m really not sure. I sat down one day to write like I do but instead of my usual short stories I write for fun, Rhi started talking about how lonely she was and that she wanted to live a normal life. She wanted friends and someone to hold her at night when the nightmares came.

ST: How erotic is it?

MAP: Oh, this is book one of two books. The first one is full of sexual tension but nothing, um hot until the second book. It has the happy ending but it’s the beginning of their relationship, that first part where they circle each other, trying to figure out what is going on between them and how to resist…or if they want to resist.

ST: And where can we buy See How They Die?

MAP: It will be released by Triskelion Publishing in April as an e-book at. Click here.

ST: I also see you wrote Ghostly Mistakes. Sounds like another thriller. Do you have a release date for it yet?

MAP: Ghostly Mistakes is part of a trilogy called Unfinished Business. It’s the first book in the series. I don’t have a release date yet but watch my website or the Triskelion link and I’ll post it as soon as I get it.

ST: Thanks for stopping by this morning, Mary Alice. We’ll see you tomorrow. Okay?
MAP: I’ll be here and ready to chat away.

Come back tomorrow when Mary Alices tells more about her life and her work. Until then…

Happy Writing!

Have You Missed Me?

Life has been insane. Linda Wisdom, my editor, sent over the rewrites and corrections for LONNIE HEATS UP last Friday. We worked together all week-end to polish this baby. You’re going to love this second book in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. Lonnie is now that she’s back at Triskelion and waiting for her cover to be designed. Her release date is this June.

I’m continuing work on FRANCINE ON FIRE which is due in just eleven short days. No blogging or website updates until the book is completed or Linda will flail me.

Next week is our interview with author Mary Alice Pritchard. Be sure to check it out starting Monday, March 19.

See you all then and in the meantime…

Happy Writing!

Rave Review

I’m so excited and wanted to share my good news with all of you. TEDDI TURNS ON earned 5 Hearts from The Romance Studio. Below is the review;

Theodora Howard was on a mission; she might not be in Chicago anymore, but she was definitely going to take care of business! Her small Chicago-based travel agency was getting shafted by her Munich, Germany, contact who was costing her money as well as making her business falter. She was determined to force him to make good his promises to her company. He owed her and she intended making him pay!
Meanwhile, there was this dynamite-looking man at the airport who boarded the same plane as she and then landed in Munich with her. She could daydream, but that was all. She had been widowed three years ago, but she still wore her wedding ring, at least until her business partner suggested she remove it and try to loosen up and have fun. How did the man from the plane find her hotel? And what did he want with her? What was his connection with Claus, her dishonest business contact? This is an incredible story which anyone would find intriguing.

Sloane Taylor has written a fascinating book about the growing love of two people who have previously had neither the time nor the inclination to search. There are sub characters that are wonderfully interactive to the couple; however, the basic story centers around the two who find something in each other which was never before present. Ms. Taylor certainly knows how to hold the reader’s attention while presenting her obvious alpha male and a not-to-be intimidated female counterpart. I found the entire story captivating and, of course, recommend it highly!

Overall rating: 5 Hearts
Sensuality rating: Explicit
