Author Bio:
I
was born and raised in Texas. I have a BS in Management and am a certified high
school science teacher. I have 4 sons, ages 11 to 23, and a brand new baby
granddaughter. Regular old boring stuff really =)
Questions, Thank you for taking time out of your day to
answer these!!!
1. When
did you decide to write? I decided to try my hand at writing last year, more or less
on a whim, when I heard a story on the news and realized that this crazy tale
that had been swimming around inside my head for over two decades wasn’t so
far-fetched after all.
2. How
did you come up with the idea of your newest book? My newest book is the 3rd
one in the series, A New Life. The entire series was conceived, or began as a
tiny idea, about 25 years ago, and has been growing and changing ever since.
3. What
Genre do write? My current series is adult (18+) mystery suspense thriller romance
erotica… stuff. Even my readers have a hard time deciding where to classify it…
4. Would
you ever write with another author if asked? I think it would be interesting to
try, if the story line interested me, and we were close enough to meet in
person to hang out and work on it together from time to time.
5. Who is
your biggest inspiration? I get inspired by lots of things, and I would have to say
the majority of my stuff comes from conflict. I love to see how people work out
their differences, and I incorporate a lot of that into the things that I write
about.
6. Who
are some of your favorite authors? All time is Charles Dickens, and I am sure my fans
all know that because my answer there never varies. Otherwise, I have lots of
new and emerging writers that have read and have in my nook to read, far too
many to name.
7. What
genre do you like to read? I like to read good stories, and I don’t really care what
category they fall into. I love action, suspense, thrills, surprises (hate
cookie-cutter stories) and of course love stories.
8.
What was the last book that you read? The Meat Market
by James Chalk – omg it was crazy insane, totally unbelievable thrill ride. I
love it.
9. What
are you working on? Actually, I just finished book 5 in the series and am more
or less writing 6 & 7 simultaneously. They are the last two in the series,
as far as I am going with it, and I am just sketching them out right now,
putting a few scenes in as the feeling takes me. For example, I woke up at 4 am
this morning with the final scene in book 6 bouncing around in my head, so I
got up and put that on paper. After I am finished with this phase, I will go
back and fill in the blanks and connect up all the parts. I don’t know that
anyone else writes that way, but it seems to be working pretty well for me so
far.

Life Novel… To what lengths would you go to break away from a life
filled with pain and suffering?
Tori
Farrell has lived a dangerous life. When you grow up with a Motorcycle Gang of
Mercenaries and Drug Lords like the Dragons, a normal life is more like a fairy
tale. For years, she accepted her dark reality, a world consisting of drugs,
sex, violence and murder. In the end, she learned the most valuable lesson:
survival.
After
years of being ruled by the Dragons, Tori uses her skills of seduction and
assassination to free herself from the grasp of the people who vowed they would
never let her go. Taken in by the FBI, she fears not everything is what it
seems, and soon finds herself lost in a web of lies and deceit. She thought
getting away from the Dragons would put her on a path to a new and better life,
but now she must face the cold hard truth… there is always a price to be paid.

.
Tori was sitting in one of the
padded chairs, knees curled to her chest and arms wrapped, when Eli Founder
arrived the next morning. She had been sitting for some time, watching the
sunrise bring light to the lush green outside her small window.
.
The Dragons slept and lived
outdoors routinely, and she was beginning to feel penned up being indoors for
so many days now. "How was the bed?" Eli asked as he took the seat
opposite of her. A blank stare was her only response, so he mumbled a simple
"Well, you'll get there," and let the subject drop.
.
Tori lay her left cheek on her
knees, watching out into the patio for several minutes. Finally, in a low
voice, she inquired, "Why am I here?"
.
Eli shifted in his seat, wanting
to be precise with his words. "You're here for evaluation, and to
heal." He drew a deep breath to continue, catching himself before he
spoke, and then exhaled slowly in silence.
.
Tori's head popped up, and she
asked again in a more forceful tone, "No, I mean why am I here." She added emphasis to the
word 'here' by reaching out with her right hand to stab the table with her
index finger.
.
At his surprised look, she continued with the
irritation clear in her voice, "I told you the knife was mine. I told you
the Dragons got what they deserved. I did it. I killed them. Why am I not in a
prison or a cell or something?"

Special Agent Eli Founder sat on his bed, staring at the small volume of German Fairy tales. He had retrieved it from the hospital for her, and intended to place it inside the suitcase with her belongings, a special message penned on the first few pages.
.
The problem was, he had been about the task for over an hour and was still torn with what he should write. The girl had moved him in a way he had never expected, and although he could admit to himself that their relationship would more than likely end, it hurt. He wanted the chance to let it play out, regardless of where it led. He wanted the chance to love her. Most of all, he wanted to cling to the possibility that they would have more time.
.
Running his fingers through his coal black hair, he spoke out loud, despite the fact that he was alone in the apartment. “You better suck it up, big boy. In the end, this comes down to one thing. You’ve still got a job to do. And so does she…” His voice trailed away and he pulled the cap off of the felt tipped pen, scrawling in clean cursive:
.
.
My Dearest Tori,
.
I know the past was filled with difficult times and your future feels uncertain.
Understand that you are not alone in your quest and that even though your path will not be an easy one, you are strong and you will endure, so long as you endeavor to persevere.
.
My thoughts and hopes are with you.
.
Yours Always,
.
Eli

the madness, she sets out with a plan to disappear and hide in anonymity. Her

“So, are you gonna help me or not?”
Henry demanded, angry now at the younger man’s surliness.
.
Michael studied the brown eyes that
matched his own. Running his fingers through his dark brown curls, he exhaled
loudly, “Yeah, well, I don’t really have a choice, now do I? So, what’s your
plan?”
.
“It’s simple,” Henry replied
matter-of-factly. “You take Eddie’s job and you do it. And you wait. When I’m
able to get her away from them, I’ll send her to you; I know you’ll look after
her for me. However long that takes, you gotta promise me you’ll wait. And
promise me you’ll take care of her.”
.
Michael stared at his half-brother
blankly, thinking, 'that’s the stupidest plan I have ever heard.' Clenching his
jaw, he kept his mouth shut.
.
Henry looked dejected at his lack of
response, “She’s special, Michael. I never told anyone what she means to me.
But I guess you’ve seen more than I wanted you to. I’d risk everything I got
and all that I am for her.”
.
“You know what the odds of us being
successful at this are? Eddie’ll kill us all if he even thinks we’re making
plans like this.” Michael wasn’t scared of Eddie, but he knew what the man was
capable of.
.
.
Henry nodded once again. “Yeah, I
know. But we gotta try. She deserves a chance, no matter the odds.”
