I’m one of those people who can give you the exact date,
time and place. 8:02pm on August 2nd, 1981, in the Mountbatten Theatre,
Southampton, where our church at the time was meeting, due to having been
knocked down and being rebuilt. I have no idea what the sermon was on, only the
minister, a guest speaker whose name I don’t recall either, kept coming back to
the cross and the point of it.
I can remember my
salvation scene, too—August, Saturday night, during a revival, when I was 7
years old. You’re planning a writing retreat where you can only have four other
authors. Who would they be and why?
CS Lewis, Frank Peretti, Rosamund Picher, Tom Clancy. All
authors whose books I really enjoy.
What is the most
embarrassing thing that has happened to you and how did you handle it?
Probably childbirth. And lots of gas and air. Amazing stuff.
Or it was giving my testimony in church at my baptism. I hate water and public
speaking.
People are always telling me that they’d like to write a
book someday. I’m sure they do to you, too.
What would you tell someone who came up to you and said that?
Just do it. Even if it doesn’t see the light of day, do it.

Tell us about the
featured book.
With trouble on the streets, DS Zander Ellery is under even
more pressure to solve the case of the Prayer Slayer. His partner DC Isabel
York is convinced she is being targeted, as all the postcards the Slayer sends
are addressed only to her.
With Zander and Isabel pulled in different directions, the
body count escalates, until the case explodes in a direction no one could
foresee—Something that will test everyone to the limits of their experience and
faith.
Please give us the
first page of the book.
Detective Constable Isabel York stood motionless—victim
number six on the ground by her feet. She knew she ought to feel
something—anything—but only guilt consumed her. This death was on her, having
literally occurred on her watch.
The body of Lexi Eke knelt posed in prayer with the word
‚guilty‛ written in black ink on her forehead. That, along with the white
towelling baptismal robe, grey duct tape bonds, and clean feet matched the
other victims of the Prayer Slayer. The only difference was the head wound and
the blood staining the white dress.
Isabel swallowed hard. They’d been here the whole time. For
two days her unit had staked out the chapel and grounds of Headley Baptist
Church
