Haven't Read Book #1?
FBI Agent Joe Roberts wants that instant chemistry with a woman like the ones his sisters have with their husbands. After years of searching, he finds it with Dr. Madeline Pierce. The problem—she’s his contact on a dangerous case.
When Madeline discovers an extensive operation of meth production and distribution within her medical research facility, Joe goes undercover as her boyfriend to determine the degree of company involvement. They determine the meth is financing a volatile nano-drug.
The small West Michigan farming town is in turmoil over horrific animal attacks. Someone is experimenting outside the laboratory. Are human test subjects next? With the help of Joe’s sister Eva, who works at the local clinic, and her law enforcement husband, Joe and Madeline hunt for this new bio-weapon. Will they give in to temptation? She thinks he’s playing her like the men from her past. He needs to convince her otherwise.
#1 – Do You See
Writing as a Career?
No. Retired from massage therapy and acupuncture, I’ve moved
on to my newest passion: Writing. It’s more than a nine-to-five job to me; it’s
a calling.
#2 – What was the
Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
The hardest part is ignoring the distractions like an
overflowing pile of dirty laundry in the basket and an inch of dust on the
coffee table.
#3 – Did you have any
One Person Who Helped You Out with Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
My dear friends, Kass and Pam, as well as my sister and
husband, pushed me into submitting my stories and pursuing this dream.
#4 – What is next for
your writing?
Right now, I’m editing the third book in the series, Their Rigid Rules. This prequel to Chemical Attraction involves Joe, Eva,
and their sister, Taylor. (In college, they fight against the new changes in
their lives and learn they must embrace a new mindset and trust in their love
for each other.)

This or That?
#1 - iPd or Mp3?
My son loaded a bunch of songs onto my new iPhone, so which
would that be? …lol…I may not be a tech, but I still know what acupuncture
point alleviates migraines. Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s okay not to
know everything.
#2 – Chocolate or
Vanilla?
I love chunks of chewy crunchy goodness in any flavor of ice
cream.
#3 – Mashed Potatoes
or French Fries?
Mashed potatoes and beef gravy are my comfort foods of
choice.
#4 – Comedy or Drama?
Definitely comedy…I love smart funny banter.
#5 – Fantasy or
Reality?
Hmm…My husband got me hooked on The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordon and The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, but I write contemporary fiction…
#6 – Call or Text?
I have an aversion to talking on the phone. Texting allows
me to check in with my busy adult children. It’s a wonderful feeling to get a
text out of the blue from them about some random thing they’re doing.
#7 – Public School or
Home School ?
Public school…but, yikes, I was a tall gangly band geek in
high school.
#8 – Coffee or Hot
Chocolate?
Coffee…I love my Keurig. I have a supply of Sumatran Blend
and Cinnabon creamer.
#9 – eBook or
Paperback?
If I can read a book in print, I prefer it, but my loaded
Kindle Fire is great for long trips. It also depends on if the battery’s
charged on the kindle or if I have enough light to read in print…
I’d love to meet everyone following the tour, so please leave
a comment along the way.
Thanks, Christina
