Why do you write the kind of books you do?

Suspense is my natural writing voice.  An EMT for a decade, I implement my firsthand medical and rescue knowledge and experience into my stories.

Inspirational is a thread I love writing and it fits within my characterizations and plotlines like a key puzzle piece. 

 
Besides writing, what are some of your favorite hobbies?

I’m a life-long outdoor enthusiast and high-level athletic competitor. I love spending time in any kind of nature doing something athletic and adventurous, especially with my family and friends. I enjoy traveling, reading, watching all kinds of movies, and watching Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, The Walking Dead, Castle and The Big Bang Theory.

What book are you currently working on?

Persephone’s Fugitive, Book #2 in the Cayman Islands Trilogy:

When a routine 911 call turns deadly, Paramedic Reyann Cooper finds herself held at gunpoint by injured prison inmate, Jason Keegan. The situation rapidly spirals out of Reyann’s control when the confrontation becomes a tense standoff between Keegan and the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service.

As her patient’s hostage, Reyann fights to save them both before Keegan blows them up. She realizes his warning to the Cayman police is no empty threat since he’d rather die than spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. Reyann soon discovers Keegan is just as determined to survive as she is - provided he can escape Grand Cayman and disappear forever. As she struggles to trust in God’s protection, help from an atheist turns her struggle into a lure away from her faith.

Please tell us a little about your book.

Final Trimester, Book #1 in the Quigley Triplets Series:

Paramedic Jodi Duncan recognizes the work of a serial killer before the Myrtle Beach PD even suspects a connection between the deaths of two pregnant women. Despite the vast differences in the two cases, Jodi urges Detective Nate Quigley to think outside the box. After digging deep into the separate investigations, Nate finds no evidence to support a serial killer theory, and he warns Jodi to back off police business, which only fuels her passion for the cases.

When a third pregnant woman is murdered, Nate is named lead detective on the case and works to link the deaths in order to unmask and stop the serial murderer, a disturbed man who believes God and the devil battle inside his head to bend him according to their wills. As he fights both voices, his interest fixates on Jodi when he discovers her obsession with ending his rampage.
