Colton 911: Family Under Fire
An unexpected family
A once-in-a-lifetime reunion in danger…
After a bitter breakup, FBI agent Everett Colton never expected to see his ex-girlfriend, Alyssa Bartholomew, again. Suddenly, tragedy reunites them—and makes them guardians of an orphaned baby girl. Everett suspects that her parents’ deaths were anything but innocent. When his instinct for danger proves correct, it’s his job to protect the child he’s grown to love…and the woman he never forgot.

If you didn’t write, what would you do for work?
Well, I was a teacher for over twenty years and it was job I loved. But I'm not sure I could return to it now. It's hard work, and my heart goes out to all the dedicated men and women who turn up in the classroom every day and make the lives of their pupils better. If I wasn't writing, I'd like to do something equally creative. Maybe, drawing, or painting?
Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?
I do read my reviews but I think it's important to remember that, good or bad, they are one person's opinion. The only one's that bother me are the one star, no comment reviews on Goodreads. I wonder about those. That person clearly felt strongly enough to leave one star. I wish they'd taken the time to explain why.
Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?
I don't do that. But now I'm wondering if I should...
What was your hardest scene to write?
My husband died very suddenly and I was diagnosed with cancer six weeks later. At the time, I was writing a story in which the heroine's husband has been killed and the hero has had cancer in the past. Every scene in that book was triggering for me and I seriously considered not finishing it. But I wanted to give those characters a happy ending.
