JANE DOE - Lillian Duncan - One Free Book

Welcome back, Lillian. How did you come up with the idea for this story?

Actually, I was feeling quite uninspired so I went on my social media and asked for suggestions for my next book. An old high school friend suggested I write a story that featured someone who struggled with memory loss.

The old amnesia plot is usually a no-no in modern story telling so I took it as a challenge to come up with a fresh approach. And JANE DOE is the result of it.

If you were planning a party with Christian authors of contemporary fiction, what six people would you invite and why?

Let’s see…let’s see… I hate the thought of leaving out people, but here goes. First, I’d invite Terri Blackstock and Brandilynn Collins because they are two of my favorite suspense writers. Then I’d include Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, and James L. Rubart because I also love supernatural stories. And only one more…Of course, I’d invite Lena Nelson Dooley because not only is she a wonderful writer, but she’s so supportive of other Christian writers.

Many times, people (and other authors) think you have it made with so many books published. What is your most difficult problem with writing at this time in your career?

It’s coming up with ideas that are different than what I’ve written before. I don’t want all my books to sound the same or to have the same basic plot. That means creating unique characters and then putting them in unique situations.

I think I succeeded in doing that with JANE DOE.

I think that’s a problem for most multi-published authors. Tell us about the featured book.

JANE DOE is my latest release. And it’s a doozy! It’s romantic suspense that’s heavy on the suspense but enough romance to make you smile.

JANE DOE, also known as Raven Marks survives a brutal kidnapping after being tossed off a cliff and left for dead. She’s haunted by her memories. First because she doesn’t have them and then because she does! She wants to move on with her life, but she keeps asking herself what if she isn’t his last victim.

Please give us the first page of the book.

 “Wakey. Wakey. Little Suzie.” His sing-song voice penetrated the drug-induced blur that was her normal these days.

”Not…my… name.” Raven. Her name was Raven Lynn Marks. It was getting harder and harder to remember anything about her life before the monster, but she didn’t want to forget her name. Raven. Her name was Raven. That was all she had left.  The monster had taken everything else from her.  Her life. Her family. Her friends. She refused to let him take her name.

As she ran her fingers through her long, black, stringy hair, the weight of the chain around her wrist chafed. She looked up at him. “Leave…me…alone.”

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you, Little Suzie? But you don’t tell me what to do.”

A moment later he poked her with the electric cattle prod. The electrical current traveled throughout her body causing her to jerk and tremble. Her mind tried to block out the excruciating pain. It failed. She screamed.
