Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour & Giveaway for Deadly Connection by Jennifer Pierce,
hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Reid’s phone vibrated on the tabletop. He didn’t recognize the number. He contemplated ignoring it but decided against it. He swiped the screen and put it to his ear. “Reid.”
“Are you at the meet?” Joe’s voice boomed from the other side.
“Where are you? I’ve been waiting over an hour.” Reid let his annoyance be evident in his voice.
“I’m not coming.” The answer was clipped.
“You had me sit in this hole-in-the-wall for an hour and didn’t even bother to call and tell me you weren’t going to make it?” Annoyance turned to anger as he clenched his fist.
“Do you see the waitress behind the counter and the little red-haired boy that just ran in? Quinn Matthews and her son, JJ.”
Joe must be close by and watching if he knew the boy had just shown up.
“Yes, I see them. Along with the druggie busboy, thieving cashier, and ogling cook. What about them?”
“You have five minutes to get them out of there before men come in and try to kidnap them.”
“Five minutes! What is this? What’s going on, Joe?” His pulse pounded as adrenaline coursed through his veins. Joe couldn’t have called to have him get her out sooner. Now, the window of time was dwindling.
“There’s no time to explain. They’re here now. I’ll stall them as long as I can. Get those two out now!” The line went dead.
Great. Just great. He had mere minutes to convince that woman to grab her son and leave with him—a complete stranger. He wasn’t sure his rusty powers of persuasion would work this time, but he’d give it a shot. Joe had saved him several times, and he’d returned the favor on occasion. This was serious business, and Joe trusted him. Reid wouldn’t let him down.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JUNE: 'Deadly Connection' is your third romantic suspense novel. Are there any other genres you would like to write in? Are you interested in writing books for children or young adults? Would you ever consider writing non-fiction? If yes, what subject would you write about?
JENNIFER:
Funny you should ask that. I have a contemporary romance Christmas novella, Giving Grace, releasing next month. I started writing in the romantic suspense genre because that is my favorite genre to read. Actually, if I’m going to be honest, I used to not like romance books. I wanted straight mystery/suspense/thriller. Then I started reading Love Inspired Suspense books and fell in love with the genre. It was natural for me to start there.
Giving Grace is my first contemporary romance story. I have to say I struggled a little when it came to the black moment. That’s usually where I kill or kidnap someone. Can’t do that with this one. I have several contemporary romance novels started. I even have two YA novels loosely noted on my laptop.
Non-fiction isn’t really a genre I read, unless it’s true crime, so I don’t know that I would ever write in that category. If I did, it would be crime related I’m sure. Or on the topic of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I was diagnosed with OCD at 13. One of the started novels collecting dust on the laptop involves a character with OCD.
At this point, I’m writing whatever God wants me to write. I am the pen in his hand.
