Welcome back, Lynette. It's been a while since you were here. As an author, I know
it takes a lot of people to birth each book. Who were the people involved in
the birthing of this book, and what were their contributions?
Oh goodness, so many people. I’m sure I’ll forget someone,
but I must thank my FBI buddy, Drucilla Wells, who read and critiqued the FBI
procedural stuff. And Jim Hall, a police officer, who also read and critiqued
the law enforcement stuff. Without them, there’s no telling how many errors
would be in that book! So thankful God places people in our lives when we need
them most! And of course, everyone from my brainstorming buddies to my editor,
Andrea Doering (who is a fabulous brainstormer!) to Barb Barnes who makes sure
all copy editing is done to a T. She’s fabulous. Who else? Michele Misiak who
makes sure the books get all the publicity possible and Donna Hausler who is in
charge of blog tours and making sure influencer copies get into the right
hands. And I could really go on and on, but I’ll stop there. J
If you teach or
speak. What’s coming up on your calendar?
I LOVE to teach. More than I like to speak, although I do
that too. J
May 19-23, I’m teaching at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers
Conference. In August I’m teaching at the Catch the Wave Conference in GA and
November, I’m teaching at the CLASS conference in Albuquerque , NM .
These are some fabulous opportunities for people to come learn the craft of
writing.
If you had to
completely start over in another place, where would you move, and why?
To Panama .
And I don’t mean Florida .
It just looks so peaceful and slow paced. I think I would like a more slower
paced life! LOL.
If you could only
tell aspiring novelists one thing, what would it be?
NEVER give up your dream of writing no matter what anyone
says.
You’ve been asked to
be in charge of a celebrity cruise. Who would you ask to take part, and why?
(AS in what program, singers, etc. [it doesn’t have to be writing related])
Singer – Mandisa – just love her. She has a wonderful
testimony, loves God wholeheartedly, and has a passion for reaching other for
Him. I just plain like her. Oh, and she has an amazing singing voice. LOL.
Karen Kingsbury – just because she’s so gracious, a fabulous
writer, and makes people feel right at home.
Abby Scuito (however you spell her last name.) from “NCIS” –
She cracks me up. I love her personality.
Jim Caveziel from “Person of Interest” – I just like looking
at him. I’d put him in charge of security.
Tell us about the
featured book?
When a Secret Kills is the third book in the Deadly Reunions
series. Here’s the back cover blurb:
She's come home to put a killer behind bars.
But the killer plans to put her six feet under.
Investigative reporter Jillian Carter knows it's time to put
the past to rest. She's tired of looking over her shoulder, letting a killer go
free. She's no longer the scared kid who changed her name and disappeared. Now,
no matter what the cost, Jillian must do what she is trained to do—find the
truth and expose it. And the truth is that Senator Frank Hoffman committed
murder ten years ago—and Jillian watched it happen.
Didn't she?
Get ready for the spine-tingling, nail-biting conclusion to
this explosive series.
"A fabulous read! Eason is a master at romantic
suspense. I gobbled up the novel in two days and promptly ordered the first two
books in the series. Highly recommended!"
—Colleen Coble, author of the Rock Harbor
and the Hope Beach series
"Fast-paced romantic suspense with compelling
characters who pull you into the story and make you care what happens to
them."
—Margaret Daley, author of Scorned Justice and the Men of the Texas Rangers series
"Clear the runway and fasten your seat belts. This
novel captures the reader in the first line and doesn't stop until the end.
Eason has created a suspense-packed story that captivates."
—DiAnn Mills, author of The
Chase and The Survivor
Please give us the
first page of the book.

Would he try to kill her today?
Probably.
Jillian shifted her carry-on bag,
stepped off the plane and walked through the jetway toward the gate, her eyes
scanning every face she passed. Yesterday, she’d called Serena Hopkins, her
high school friend she hadn’t seen in ten years, and gotten an earful on the
events of the past two months. Serena had warned her in no uncertain terms that
Jillian was a target.
Jillian had almost laughed out loud.
Being a target wasn’t something new to her. She’d been a target for the past
ten years while living in California .
She’d just been a hidden target.
Until about two weeks ago when
someone tried to kill her and got her friend and co-worker instead. She
fingered the healing scar on her forearm as she thought about Jeff. The grief
threatened to smother her, and she shoved it off with a vengeance. There would
be time for grieving later.
Knowing they’d tracked her down after
ten years of hiding, using a false name, and covering her tracks not only
scared her down to her very bones, it told her two things.
They were getting desperate…
…and it was time to fight back.
