This tour highlights two main characters from my new book, Prime
Target. I was invited to
participate by my friend Charles Dougherty, author of the Bluewater Thriller Series. You can read more about his
books at http://www.clrdougherty.com.
Do take a look—they’re very good and take place in the Caribbean. Charles and
his wife live on a sailboat there, and he knows what he’s talking about. His
new book is Bluewater Bullion.
1) What is
the name of your character? Is he/she fictional or a historic person?
My fictional characters are contemporary. Madeleine Schier
is an ad exec and former concert pianist, and Charlie Dance is a former Navy
Corpsman (medic).
2) When and
where is the story set?
It begins in New York City, moves through the Kentucky
mountains, and comes to rest on an apple farm near Hendersonville, North
Carolina.
3) What is
the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?
Madeleine is hiding from her husband’s murderer, adjusting
to a different way of life, and Charlie is searching for purpose and a way to
live with his damaged body and soul. Both characters suffer from PTSD. They don’t
trust their situations or even themselves enough to live fully.
4) What is
the personal goal of the character?
Madeleine wants to bring down the man who killed her husband
and destroyed her life; she’s hiding from a killer, marking time until he’s
brought to justice. Charlie, a natural caretaker, needs a purpose and a way to
contribute, but he’s hindered by people’s reaction to him.
5) Is there
a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?
The title is Prime Target. There's a short excerpt two blogs before this one.
6) When can
we expect the book to be published?
October 1. The eBook is available for pre-order on Amazon, and the print book will be out this week.
