Welcome to the
Hoppy Easter Eggstravaganza Giveaway Hop
April 6th to 12th
Hoppy Easter everyone! What a great time for a giveaway! I just finished reading a fantastic new mystery/suspense called Caller ID by Rachelle J. Christensen.
Book Description:
Publication Date: March 13, 2012
When twenty-three-year-old Courtney Beckham is abducted
near her home, the search turns up more than just a kidnapping crime.
FBI agent Jason Edwards investigates the ten-million-dollar ransom and
stumbles upon something he wasn't meant to find. When Courtney catches a
glimpse of the caller ID in her kidnapper's home, what she sees turns
her world upside down.
Caller ID has a great storyline with a strong female protagonist. Also, one of my favorite characters from Rachelle's book, Wrong Number, is back in this book, FBI agent Jason Edwards. This book will keep you reading and gripping the cover. There are also some wicked twists and turns that will leave you shaking your head. Rachelle is a talented writer and has a great handle on the craft of writing a good mystery/suspense novel. There is also a little bit of romance included that is always nice!
You can enter to win Caller ID and a package of Rachelle's favorite Easter candy, M&M's or Reese's pieces. The winner will get to choose which one they want. You can enter on the easy Rafflecopter form below. First, I want to share with you an interview I did with the author. Then make sure you check out the other blogs with great giveaways.
1.What do you love about writing suspense?
I like to look at things from a different angle, to find that twist
that will make the story interesting. While brainstorming for Caller ID,
I gathered some ideas from a few different news stories I saw. I kept
thinking about the story and wondered, What if?
I also like
learning new things and that requires research. This doesn’t just happen
in suspense, pretty much all novels require research. I did quite a
bit, from interviewing police officers, FBI agents, and undercover drug
task force members to studying into how to produce certain drugs.
2.How are Wrong Number, your 1st book and Caller ID related?
Caller ID is a spin-off from my first book, taking FBI Agent Jason
Edwards and continuing his story. They can be read as a stand-alone
because only one character is the same, but I will say that he was a
favorite from Wrong Number that people wanted to know more about.
3.How long did it take you to write Caller ID?
About two months, but I got the idea for the story almost a year before
and let it percolate. After the first draft, I went on to torture
myself with revisions for the next eight months.
4.What are you working on next?
I just finished writing/editing book one of a new “Wedding Planner
Mystery” series. I had so much fun writing this novel and getting to
know the characters. The title is Diamond Rings are Deadly Things and
it’s set in Sun Valley, Idaho near where I grew up. I’m excited for
people to meet my new character.
5.What is your favorite Easter candy?
I love those Reese’s pieces bags that look like a carrot, and I wouldn’t turn down lovely pastel peanut M&M’s either.
Thanks for the fun interview, Sheila!
