Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer. I know you are prolific in the crime fiction genre. What attracted you to crime fiction in the first place?
The thrill of the chase of course! Actually, I had a neighbor that stalked and tried to terrorize me for two and half years. From this experience, I met various people in law enforcement and was up close to a textbook psychopath. It intrigued me—the criminal mind. Why they do what they do? Why do they commit certain crimes but not others? I have always loved crime fiction and now I get to write them.
Your book, The First Girl, is the 11th book in the Detective Katie Scott series. Is this your last one or will there be more?
No, I just turned in the 12th book in the series with my publisher and there will also be a 13th book. At this point, negotiations will happen to see how many more books. I'm excited!
Can you give us your book blurb so others can find out what your book is about?
Of course!
The cold night breeze slams the barn door shut with a sickening
crash. The girl curled in the corner wakes with a start. Her gold
butterfly necklace catches the pale moonlight as she clutches it tight,
thinking of her family. Will she ever escape? Or is his the last face
she’ll ever see?
Detective Katie Scott stares in horror at what
she and her military service dog Cisco have discovered: seven shallow
graves, the bodies of young women each wrapped carefully in a blanket
and buried in makeshift coffins. Miles of abandoned farmland stretch out
from the tree line behind her. Has Katie uncovered the horrifying
graveyard of a monster who has been stealing Pine Valley’s daughters for
years?
Katie quickly identifies one of the victims as Abigail
Andrews, a beautiful young woman who disappeared fifteen years ago.
Katie is heartbroken that she’ll have to tell Abigail’s mother her
darling girl is gone.
When Katie is ambushed working late at the
scene, fired upon by an unknown assailant, she knows she must be close
to finding the killer. But the shooter vanishes into thin air. And when a
new young woman is taken, dark haired and dark eyed like the others,
Katie realizes her time is running out. Can she stay alive long enough
to track down this twisted murderer before another young life is stolen
too soon?
Do you write in any other genres?
Not officially. I do enjoy horror and historical fiction, so I might try one of those genres one of these days.
How can readers discover more about you and your work?
Where can readers buy your book?
The First Girl is available on Amazon (e-book, audio, and paperback) as well as other book retailers.
What’s next for you?
I just finished book #12 so I will be writing book #13 soon. But,
first I will be taking a little bit of a break and doing some research
with SWAT (procedures, equipment, and maneuvers) and bomb K9 teams.
