A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

I was born in Los Angeles and now make my home in Divide, Colorado. An avid reader (my parents tell everyone they had to move from our first home because I finished the local library), I always wanted to "fix" stories so the characters did what I wanted, in books, television, and the movies. Once I began writing, I found this wasn't always possible, as evidenced when the mystery I intended to write rapidly became a romance. However, my entry into the world of writing can be attributed to a "mistake" when my son mentioned the Highlander television series on a visit home. Being the "good mother" I began watching the show and soon connected with the world of fanfiction, first as a reader, then as a critique giver, and then, one brave weekend, I wrote my first short story. Things snowballed and soon I was writing my first original novel. Much later, I mentioned something about a recent Highlander episode to my son, and he said, "Oh, I've never actually watched the show, I just thought the concept was cool." Little did he know what he'd started. I love getting into the minds of my characters, turning them loose in tight spots and seeing what they do. Too often, they surprise me. My published works include the Pine Hills Police Series, the Blackthorne, Inc. series as well as the Romantic Suspense novel, What's in a Name? and the Mapleton Mystery series. I've also published numerous short stories with The Wild Rose Press. I'm an active member of Romance Writers of America, and its Kiss of Death chapter, as well as Mystery Writers of America. When I'm not writing, or watching wildlife from my window, I'm probably reading.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Running for the wrong reason can still get you killed. Kelli Carpenter has changed her name, her appearance — her life — to avoid being connected to a crime she committed in self defense years ago. But just when she thinks she has nothing to fear, handsome stranger Blake Windsor shows up. He claims to be the handyman her boss sent to help complete the project she’s working on — Camp Getaway — a place where inner city kids will get respite from concrete and drive-bys. Without Blake's skills, the refuge won’t be completed on time. Against her instincts, she accepts his help. Blake Windsor, a corporate executive, begrudgingly returns to the blue-collar construction lifestyle he vowed to leave behind, hoping doing his boss this favor will advance his career. The woman he meets bears little resemblance to the woman he’s supposed to find, but something about her mystifies him, and he continues his deception in order to learn more about her. When someone makes an attempt on Kelli’s life, she runs — but she takes Blake with her. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer is her philosophy. And Kelli is convinced Blake knows something that will link her to her former lover’s death, ending her life as she knows it. What's in a Name? is a Daphne du Maurier, Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, and Heart of Denver Aspen Gold finalist.
