Q: Tell me two things about yourself that would surprise your readers. A: For a time, after college, I worked in a sports medicine clinic, taping ankles for high school football players.
In the midst of my planning, a local woman, a member of my church, was murdered by her estranged husband. My story went off in a whole new direction. The issue of domestic violence is real and way too pervasive. Many women stay in abusive relationships hoping the abuser will change, but they never do. (I’m not saying they can’t, but in my experience, abusers don’t change unless they are forced to.) So, my main character became an abused woman: a woman who can’t admit to herself that she is a victim, and it nearly costs her her life. As with all my books, there is hope and redemption, and I hope a thrill ride to the end of the book. |
