It just came to me one day, as ideas often do. Perhaps it was a combination of things I’d heard or read in the news, or seeing the state Capitol building again. All of a sudden, I knew I wanted to give Maine a female governor—something the state has never had. And she would be fighting for her life.
I like it already. If you were planning a party with Christian authors of contemporary fiction, what six people would you invite and why?

Dee Henderson, Susan Meissner, Terri Blackstock, Angela Hunt, Linda Nichols, and Margaret Daley. That sounds like a pretty good mix to me, and they’re all people I’d love to brainstorm with.
I'd like to hide in the corner and listen. Now let’s do that for a party for Christian authors of historical fiction, what six people would you invite and why?
Ooh, another party! DiAnn Mills, Darlene Franklin, Tracie Peterson, Robin Lee Hatcher, Vickie McDonough, and you. I would love to sit down with this group and talk shop!
Thank you for including me. That would be one I'd like to attend. 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?
Right now, it’s having time to develop good, strong proposals.
I know what you mean about that. Tell us about the featured book.
Hearts in the Crosshairs is suspense all the way. I spent a lot of time skulking around the Maine State Capitol while writing this, and calling people I would never have the nerve to approach in person. Here’s the blurb for the book:
She came for her inaugural address—and found herself dodging bullets instead. Newly elected Maine governor Jillian Goff doesn’t know why someone wants to kill her. But she knows they came close. Too close. Enter Dave Hutchins. A member of the state’s Executive Protection Unit, Dave’s mission is to protect the governor and find the would-be assassin—without getting emotionally involved. Yet the more time Dave spends with Jillian, the less he can imagine ever leaving her side. Not with her life—and his heart—caught in the crosshairs.
Bring it on. I can hardly wait to read it. How can readers find you on the Internet?
