Interview with Joerg H. Trauboth, Author of Three Brothers

“Buddy McAllen is not far away. In fact, they almost trip over his ejector seat. The wind fills his parachute, causing it to pull away from the long, slender body of the American pilot and then deflate again. Buddy is shaking. The right side of his head along with his short blond hair is covered in blood. George sees a large dark stain on Buddy’s olive-green flight suit just above his right hip and, underneath him, a rather large pool of dried blood on the ground…” –From THREE BROTHERS by Joerg H.

Interview with Traci Highland, Author of Miss Behave

“Dear Miss Behave, Last weekend I was at the pool with the children, and there was a woman naked and walking around the locker room.  I hate to be prissy, but to be naked around young children like that just isn’t right.  She comes to the pool regularly and I am not the only one who has happened upon her strolling around the locker room without clothes.  Now I know there are showers and that people change in locker rooms, but showers should be taken while wearing bathing suits and there are private changing rooms that are clearly marked.  How can I convey to her the accepted rules of

Interview with Charlene Whitman, Author of Wyoming Tryst #historical #western #romance

“Thinking about her lawless town made her thoughts settle back on her father and the never-ending feud between the Carsons and the Morrisons—a feud Julia neither wanted nor understood.

She hoped it wouldn’t add to the blaze and worried that rather than enjoy her sixteenth year celebration, she would suffer the heat of her father’s ire for Stephen Morrison, and it would leave her scorched.” –From Wyoming Tryst by Charlene Whitman The author of “heart-thumping” Western romance, Charlene Whitman spent many years living on Colorado’s

Interview with Michael McMenamin, Author of Appointment in Prague

“KEEPING SECRETS from her husband, Bourke Cockran, Jr., was nothing new for Mattie McGary as she gently kissed her sleeping husband goodbye before she left for her office where she had to prepare two pieces of correspondence. One was an ‘eyes only’ letter to her godfather, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, telling him everything about her new mission, one he never would have approved had he known beforehand. The other was a letter to her husband on the same subject where she most definitely would not tell him ‘everything’. The second letter would be much more difficult to write than the first.” –From Appointment in Prague by Michael & Kathleen

Interview with Jennifer Chase, Author of Scene of the Crime @JChaseNovelist #mystery

  “The darkness still loomed around him, but there was a quietness that overcame him. A brief hundredth of a second, a peculiar whizzing noise filled Roger’s ears and then a brutal blow struck his head and knocked him off his feet. With a ringing in his head and a groggy consciousness, he tried to sit up but more savage blows pummeled his body. It sounded as if a tree splintered just before it fell in the forest. His breath caught in his lungs. Everything went dark. The anonymous whispers stopped. All buzzing in his ears stopped. Roger Case’s heart stopped too.” –From Scene of the Crime by Jennifer
