Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I never road a roller coaster until I was twenty-one.

Me too! Sometimes I think my life was way too sheltered when I was under my parents' roof!

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Fatal Mistake.

Tara Parrish is the only person ever to survive an attack by the Lone Wolf bomber. Scared and emotionally scarred by her near death, she goes into hiding with only one plan–to stay alive for another day. She knows he’s coming after her, and if he finds her, he will finish what he started.

Agent Cal Riggins has had only one goal for the past six months–to save lives by ending the Lone Wolf’s bombing spree. To succeed, he needs the help of Tara Parrish, the one person who can lead them to the bomber. Cal puts his all into finding Tara, but once he locates her, he realizes if he can find her, the Lone Wolf can, too. He must protect Tara at all costs, and they’ll both need to resist the mutual attraction growing between them to focus on hunting down the bomber, because one wrong move could be fatal.

What is it about Tara that will make your readers care about her?

Tara Parrish is your everyday woman who is faced with an extraordinary challenge. At first she runs from the seemingly insurmountable problem, but then digs in and starts to fight back. I think this is how many of us first face a challenge, and that the reader can easily see themselves in her and can imagine being in her shoes.

How true. I think shock is often our first reaction to uncommon, violent adversity, before our sense of survival kicks in. 

What is something you’ve thanked God for this week?

I had an infection and hospital stay, and I thanked God for giving me the right doctor who provided the right medicine to clear it up.

Good to hear! 

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

It’s actually a novella written by Dr. Richard Mabry called Doctor's Dilemma. I love how he integrates his knowledge of the medical field in a suspense story as I love learning new things while enjoying fiction. He brings a great sense of realism to the story and, of course, the creative suspense plot kept me engaged as well.

What are you working on now?

I am working on book two, Kill Shot, in the White Knights series. This book features the White Knight’s ballistics and weapon’s expert, Rick Cannon who is about to face his worst nightmare. He knows the Department of Defense is developing self-steering bullets. Rick has long feared these smart bullets that show one hundred percent accuracy in hitting mobile, evading targets, making even a gun novice a lethal sniper, would eventually end up in the wrong hands. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before the bad guys got their hands on this ammo. He was wrong.

When a military vet suffering from PTSD is killed with a smart bullet, it’s clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. Their investigation soon leads Rick to Dr. Olivia Dobbs whose PTSD client holds the dubious honor of being the first person killed with a smart-bullet. When they discover another of Olivia’s clients has been murdered with a self-guiding bullet and the sniper trains his rifle on Olivia, Rick is convinced that she is the key to solving this investigation. Rick must recall all of his Marine Scout Sniper skills to apprehend the lethal sniper before the kill shot is fired and ends Olivia’s life.

Susan, considering your plot lines, I suspect that--unlike writers like me--you probably have a sizable male readership!
