I
have two books that begin with the letter U and I couldn't choose
between them, so I'm going to talk briefly about them both. The only
thing that these books have in common is that they are both romantic
suspense, and they both begin with U. Other than that, there are no
similarities at all.
Under
the Western Sky is what I call a retro-romantic suspense, set in 1976
in Western Nebraska. Set in an uncertain time, shortly after a major
FBI snafu at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, racial tensions are high.
Libby Marshall and Bobby Menendez have just started dating. Her
friend, Toni, is seeing Bobby's cousin Ramon. One night on his way
home, Ramon is caught and beaten by a bunch of white boys. Though he
lives through the beating, he is seriously injured.
Unfortunately,
Bobby runs afoul of the same group, only this time they're armed with
guns, not baseball bats. With the skills his father taught him, Bobby
is able to fight back, but now he and his family are marked for
death. With the help of some friends, they take flight into a very
uncertain future.
Undiscovered
is a contemporary romantic suspense,
Someone
wants movie mogul Kent Griswald dead. Although the first attempt is
unsuccessful, soon the killer catches up with him. It's up to
Detectives Walter Scott and Vanessa Weinstein to make sense of the
clues and find the killer before he can strike again.
Cadence
Stuart is their only witness and it's up to Walter and Vanessa to
keep her safe. Unfortunately, Walter finds himself falling for his
witness. Knowing their involvement could jeopardize the case, the two
try to maintain a professional distance, but being thrown together by
circumstance makes it increasingly difficult.
Although
these stories have nothing in common, except for the U in the title,
they are both books I'm very proud of. Oh, and they were both
published by Tirgearr Publishing.
