“…It is the price you pay for choosing to be a cop. Your brother’s life…”
Those words haunt her dreams, and her waking moments. LAPD officer, Aurora Kavvan cannot rest until she finds her brothers killer. Digging into the past always brings back unpleasant things: memories, guilt…the hit man. Now she is in a race against time to find the murderer before he finds her.
“Kill her. I don’t care how, and I don’t care where, but I want her dead now!”
Someone was trying to kill his dead partner’s sister. FBI agent, Jordan Reiley will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means going against her wishes; putting himself between her and the man who murdered her brother.
Will God keep them alive long enough for them to find the truth?”
From “Shadows from the Past”
Thank you Rick for having me on your blog today!
“What actually inspired you to write a book, I never knew you were creative?” My cousin was giving me a hard time at a book signing last month. I laughed at her and told her something like; I have many hidden talents and just laughed it off. When I get to thinking about it, honestly, I think it had to be my mother’s bedtime stories. She is an amazing woman and has such an imagination and she seems to have passed that on to my siblings and me. I remember her nieces and nephews would specifically come to spend the night so they could hear her stories.
It wasn’t like she wrote them down then read them, she told them ‘off the cuff’ and they were great! One was about ‘The alligator that got flushed down the toilet’ and it kept us laughing. I think that was the best thing she could have ever done. Each story had a moral and a life lesson. The fact that she would get us all together and entertain us was just great. I think she had as much fun in the telling as we had in the listening. It made us want to entertain people that way.
She has helped me in my writing career. She is the first one I ever showed any of my work and she encouraged me to continue it. I’ve had many reasons to write, I want to entertain, to try to write a good ‘caliber’ book and several other things but I always think back to nighttime at an old two-story house with my mom telling the stories and being completely entertained. I just hope one day someone finds one of my stories half as entertaining as hers were for me! Thanks mom!!!
