Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Dark Alleys.

If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?

PhotobucketTessa would be played by Courtney Cox.



PhotobucketThe male lead who is a police detective would be played by Richard Gere



Photobucketor Mark Harmon.



What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

I’m reading Ricochet by Christy Barritt right now. Even though I’m not finished with it, I would definitely recommend it. It’s got great characters and a great story. I’m definitely enjoying it.

What are you working on now?

I just finished up final edits for a Christmas-themed Novella that will be released near Christmas time, of course. It’s titled The Christmas Stalking. It’s about a country singer being stalked. It’s a fun story filled with action and suspense.

I'd be insulted to read that social workers are evil (as well as how government workers are all out to get your children) since I am one. An in fact, when I know someone is doing something illegal and it is hailed as something a hero or heroine would do (like not reporting suspected abuse) it ticks me off because it's plain wrong if you are a teacher or another mandatory reporting professional like a nurse, etc.

Dark Alleys sounds intriguing. I'm sure I'd enjoy reading it. As far as what would be insulting, I don't actually like to insult others with my opinions. But let's just say, I prefer Christian novels, for the most part, mainly because they are clean and morally aligned with my views. God bless you all for your work!

What would be insulting to me in a Christian Fiction book would be bad language & I don't mean poor grammar.
Also, so many books these days use sex to sell their books not only on the cover but also what's inside.

As a reader of Christian based books, I do not like to find, nasty language or things that lead to a n ugly vision... life happenings can some times be ugly enough, it it is in the story line , then thread softly... like death, or
rape, or severe sickness ...
do not focus on those, focus on the good surrounding it and God's help

Sounds like a good mystery. I would be disappointed in a Christian book having foul language. Also a lot of sexual talk and discription taking place.

I would be insulted to read a lot of cussing and sex in the scenes. Those don't belong in Christian books. Not detailed sex scenes.

Profanity is offensive to me, along with too discriptive sexual encounters.

I would be insulted in a Christian novel where women or children are physically abused by someone they thought loved them.
