Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

meddlingmadeline

Turn of the 20th Century Rockland.  A perfect blend of a budding metropolis with the air of a small town in its neighborhoods.  Meet Madeline: a keen eye, a curious mind, and a spunky spirit combine to help her see things that others miss.  Join her in the series debut with Sweet on You. 

Madeline: sweet on you cover1     Madeline: such a tease         madeline: dead letter     Madeline: I to Eye     madeline: looks could kill

Madeline lives a normal life, in a normal town, with normal, everyday trials and triumphs–that is until she discovers she has a knack for seeing what others miss. Though it begins as a simple–unasked for, of course–favor for a friend, soon the whole town is talking about the Mayor’s daughter and her unconventional hobby.  Her friends are torn between pride in her keen eye and readiness to help and the discomfort of knowing that some people don’t appreciate Madeline’s “meddling.”

From unsuitable suitors, to exciting electrical schemes, to a letter that has her wondering what is happening on a friend’s honeymoon, Madeline finds herself elbow-deep in other peoples’ business. However, in her bowler hat, or one of the millinery frights her aunt foists on her, she’s likely to discover the truth behind that which others might prefer to hide!

Yes, Madeline Brown is developing a reputation for her “meddling,” but what’s a girl to do when she sees things that just don’t seem right? So, in Sweet on You, with her friends and family watching in horror, she braves the worst of Rockland’s streets to uncover the truth about a man and his designs on her friend. Are her suspicions unfounded?  Is she risking her reputation, not to mention that of her father, to unearth the truth that her friend’s “special friend” is exactly who he seems to be, or are her instincts correct. And what is she supposed to do when an obnoxious boy from childhood arrives all grown up and seemingly over his boyish know-it-all-ness?  Watch out, Madeline, or someone will be sweet on you, too!

Episode 43: A Chat with Allison Pearl
by Chautona Havig

Great Things Happen When You Mix Danger and Donuts

Suspense is a personal favorite genre, so when I heard about Allison Pearl’s series, I knew I wanted to read them and chat with her about them.  I only made it about a quarter of the way into the book before the interview, but that’s mostly because I spent way too much time deliberating over whether I should finish the book, Sprinkled with Sabotage, or set it aside and go read the first two.  

That’s actually a difficult thing about books in a series that stand alone.  You can read them out of order, so the dilemma begins–kind of like whether to read The Narnia series in order of publication or in chronological order.

Nah, everyone knows you need to read in order of publication.  Hmm… maybe that solves my question on Allison Pearl’s books, too.  Hmmm…

From the fun way she named the protagonists to our discussing the idea of a high-speed chase through the West Virginia mountains (I bet she could get those folks up to forty miles-per-hour! Trust me, if you’ve ever driven some of those roads, you’ll know that IS high speed in that area!), we talked about just about everything.  Faith in fiction, what got Allison writing suspense in the first place, locales for books, and… of course, what is coming next!

The Love and Danger in St. Claire series by Allison Pearl is full of danger, tension, and sprinkled with romance for the heart-throbbers among us.

Sprinkled with Sabotage

Synopsis: Lizzy Bennet loves life as a lawyer in the city. And not just because of the miles it puts between her and her ex. However, when she’s attacked on the street just hours after learning her identity was stolen, she tries to call home for help and ends up with the last person she expects: the very same high school boyfriend who broke her heart.

He says he’s there to help, but she’s not so sure, and now, all the endless questions and regrets are clouding her judgment and preventing her from seeing the dangerous saboteur closing in. Small-town auto mechanic, Koby Knightly, is looking forward to seeing a car show in the city. But when an unexpected call from his old girlfriend disconnects suddenly, he rushes to her aid. Throwing his plans out the window, Koby makes it his mission to protect her and discover the identity of the person trying to frame her.

Will he also be able to figure out what went wrong between them back in high school or will a killer get to her first?

Available in print, on Kindle, and also through Kindle Unlimited.  Or, read the first books in the series:

  • Glazed Suspicion
  • Dunked in Trouble

Just two days before Bookers on the Rocks releases Just two days before Bookers on the Rocks releases!  I'm so excited about this book. It's probably one of the best I've written.  There's just something about a man who will step out of his comfort zone and edge his wife out of hers to do what's best for their marriage--so inspiring to write.
It's available for preorder for TWO DOLLARS off the retail price.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GFLZGG6?
Leave a comment if you'd like me to message you a direct link!  Happy to do it. :)
