Tell us about “Don't Look Back” the featured book.
Twelve years ago, forensic anthropologist Jamie Cash survived a brutal kidnapping. After years of therapy, she has made a life for herself--though one that is haunted by memories of her terrifying past. She finally lets herself believe that she can have a close relationship with a man, when signs start appearing that point to one frightening fact--her attacker is back and ready to finish the job he started all those years ago.
Can she escape his grasp a second time? And will she ever be able to let down her guard enough to find true love?
Filled with heart-stopping suspense, gritty realism, and a touch of romance, Don't Look Back pulls you into its twists and turns to hold you there until the very last page.


Can you tell us how many books you have in print in the Christian market? Don't Look Back is my tenth book in print.

Is there a particular book among those you've written that you would especially recommend to our readers? If so, why? It depends. I write for two different publishing houses. Harlequin's Love Inspired Suspense line and Revell, a Christian publishing house based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Love Inspired books are a faster read than the Revell books and aren't quite as...intense. The Revell books are longer, thereby allowing me to go deeper into the character development and the suspense. In the Love Inspireds, I would say Holiday Illusion or A Silent Terror are my favorites. In the Revell line, Don't Look Back is definitely my favorite so far. Probably because it was really easy to write it. The words flowed, it didn't stress me out and I just love the characters in that story.

The Christian fiction field has rapidly expanded over the past few years. What would you like to see happen in this field in the years to come? I'd love to see it continue to grow. The e-book industry is growing with leaps and bounds so that exciting to see too. I'd love to see more and more people with salvation testimonies that they attribute to a life changing Christian book.

How can readers and fans encourage you as you pursue what is sometimes a challenging and solitary job? For me, I love to get reader emails telling me how much they loved the story or that the story changed their life in some way.

Many writers are also avid readers. Do you have any favorite authors? If so, could you name a few? I LOVE to read. Of course, I'm big into suspense so I enjoy, Steven James, Brandilyn Collins, Terri Blackstock, DiAnn Mills to name a few.

If you could only take five books with you on a journey of ten years, which ones would you take? The Bible, Around the World in 80 Days, Huckleberry Finn, The Negotiator by Dee Henderson and Nightshade by one of my new favorite authors, Ronie Kendig.

If you had 48 hours to hang out with any TWO people (besides Jesus), alive or dead in the history of the world who would you hang out with and what would you do? Oh, definitely my husband. He travels with his job a lot so every chance I get I'd love to hang out with him. And...um...wow, there's so many people I'd love to hang out with! Maybe Mark Twain. He had such cool quotes, I'd love to have met him in person.

What three things are you most thankful for in your life? My son, my daughter, and my husband.

What is the most fun thing you have ever done? Gone on a weeklong cruise with my entire family.

What are you writing now? I'm working on Book 1 in the new series that I sold to Revell a few months ago.
