He's tired of running. She's looking for an escape. Can they find a home together?
Joshua Canfield spent the last year hiding from killers. He’s done things he can never confess, especially not to the loved ones he was protecting. All he wants now is to reunite with his family and live a peaceful life.
Lila Grainger has one goal in life. To earn enough money to leave Providence Island and a family with no regard for the law far behind. She never expected to meet someone like Joshua. He’s the finest man she’s ever known, and he sees her as a woman, not as a Grainger. But she can’t expect him to leave his family to follow her.
Neither of them knows that a new threat lingers on Providence Island. One that puts Lila in danger and could expose Joshua’s past.
Author Interview
1.
Favorite childhood memory involving books?
There was a large department store in the town where I grew up. On the
first floor tucked back in the corner behind the jewelry and cosmetic counters was
a section for books. One of my biggest thrills was getting to pick out a new
Nancy Drew book.
2.
What is your most unusual writing quirk?
I don’t know how unusual it is, but I need quiet when I write. Other
authors I know say they keep a playlist going while they write or they select
music that fits the type of scene they’re writing. For myself, I need a quiet
environment.
4.
Have you ever met anyone famous?
I’ve met several famous people but the person who sticks out the most in my
memory is Ted Neely of Jesus Christ Superstar fame. A number of years ago, I
attended a live stage performance of JCS. After the show, I got to meet Ted. He
autographed the cover of the booklet included with soundtrack CD. Then he told
me how he’d met his wife during the filming of the movie. Super nice person and
very humble.
5.
What creature do you consider your "spirit animal" to be?
My spirit animal is the cardinal which symbolizes a link between heaven and
earth and ties with our ancestors.
7.
If you could live in any time period, what would it be and why?
As romantic as some time periods sound, I couldn’t live without indoor
plumbing and heat/ac. So it would have to be the future, say one hundred years
from now. Now, if I could time travel, I’d love to pop back in time and visit
with my ancestors.
8.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic mysteries. I also enjoy cozy mysteries.
9.
How do you select the names of your characters?
Some names, such as Dana and Nick, the lead couple in Main Street, were
selected because they suited the characters However, I have no idea why
Canfield popped in my mind for Dana’s last name. Same thing for Ben Hampshire’s
last name. I did make a few “oops” when naming other characters. I named two
characters James and Jamie. Also two characters are named Tom; however, one of
those characters is deceased and only mentioned on occasion.
