Welcome, Julie!
Thank for having me, Paula.
What inspired me to write Family
Lies, Deadly Ties?
Family Lies Deadly Ties birthed in
an unusual way. I write psychological suspense, but I’m surrounded by a circle
of fantastic romancer authors in my critique group. So, I took the challenge,
stepped out of my comfort zone, and plunged into the adventure of trying to
make a girl meet a guy—and kiss. How hard could that be for an author driven by
the thrill of suspense and not the passion of lips touching? Ha!
I had recently returned from the
land of Hanalei on the island of Kauai, HI, the perfect setting for love…and
terror. I created my protagonist Rylee Shepherd as a transfer from the Rocky
Mountains (my stomping grounds) so she could give the reader a fresh taste of
the island from a non-native point of view. She stands out as a tall and very
white and studious chick with zero interest in a boyfriend.
Her unexpected love interest, Noah
Logun? Let’s just say this laid back drummer is on a passionate mission, and
some believe he’s a troublemaker. The citizens of Hanalei are divided on what
to think of him, and Rylee gets caught in the middle. And yes, their lips do
meet. And it’s good!
Family matters, and finding a place
in this world is the hidden desire in the heart of both characters. My hope is
that readers will experience a deeper sense of God’s adoption of us into His
heart and into His family, a place of belonging, purpose, and hope. “If nothing
else, I want you to know how much you are wanted.” -J.A.
A glimpse into Family Lies,
Deadly Ties
Rylee Shepherd’s background is
everything but enviable, and her time as a nanny in Hawaii is ticking away.
God, however, is teaching her to live by grace, not by works. She overcomes
false beliefs about herself and her past. The twins she nannies, who are raised
on heavy doses of Disney, are hard not to fall in love with.
Her boss’s estranged son, Noah Logun,
lives with his gracious pastors who are helping train him how to fight a
spiritual war according to his faith in Christ. Noah desires to acquire ‘the
eyes of Elisha’ (2 Kings 16) and overcome his history as a ‘loser.’
Will Rylee and Noah discover the truths
that will help them win the biggest battle of their lives? Can they do this
before felons Lizard and ‘Kojak’ execute their wicked plan?
