Meanwhile, Detective Lt. Phillip Landon is deep into second-guessing his career choice, but his well-honed instincts see major flaws inside this missing person’s case. Surprising contacts, mysterious happenings, and threats can turn deadly.

2. When and why did you start writing?
I fell in love with reading, and then my passion grew into writing. However, I don't remember a time that I wasn't thinking about stories or involved in one. It was too many years later, during my own period of convalesce, my husband encouraged me to write these stories down, and I did! Although there were few times when I didn't write, I found that it wasn't many. Writing is just something I do.

3. Have any particular novels or writers
influenced your writing?
Many writers have drawn me into their character's world, and it was their stories that ignited my writer's spark.

4. Give us some backstory behind
Revenge. Where and when did you write it?
Years ago, I saw an old photo of conveyer belts and one person assisting another with work, but the assisting theme stuck and quickly sparked a thumbnail of a story. I usually let story sketches simmer and don't write them straight away. For me, more ideas can come freely when the story is just a sketch and the plot comes more into focus in time. Once my story went into the rewrite stages, it grew to become Revenge, and thanks to my wonderful editor this story became even better!

like?
