Now on to the post; )
A couple weeks ago I was on a book blog tour for my newest
release, Unorthodox, A Kendra
Spark Novel. One of the blog hosts asked me, “What is it about Unorthodox
that makes it so special?” Hmmm, after some reflective thought, here’s my “why”
it’s so special to me:
Genre Mixture – Paranormal, suspense-thriller,
romance, crime, mystery, plus supernatural. These genres are what I read, but this
is the first book I’ve written that includes all of them. The opportunities for
expanding on any of those genres within this series is endless: )
Characters – I wanted diversity, a blending of
people that normally wouldn’t connect well to one another. I threw them
together in a tension-filled life/death situation where each must play their precise
role in combination with the others to restore balance and defeat evil. In
other words, I wanted impossible relationships for the “foundation” first book
in the series, story-stars with the ability to grow and evolve throughout the
series, including their relationships.
Paranormal – Ghosts and Kendra’s ability to
communicate with them rendered a specific “special,” like opening the door to a
whole ghost world through Jenna.
Supernatural – Playtime! *grins* With a writer’s license
to bring forth oddities/entities into present day situations, I couldn’t resist
getting wild and crazy with it. So fun to brainstorm and write.
Romance – In this first book, a couple budding
romantic connections took place (the tensions deepen in this book), leaving a
lot of room for a blazing inferno in the next books.
Research – I enjoyed the time spent on accumulating
information on forensics, FBI and Police procedures, settings/locations, and
criminal analysts, through on-line courses, books, on-line search engines and
specific sites, Sisters in Crime Organization, and workshops. This area of
research was a first for me; )
All of these elements add into the specialness I feel for Unorthodox,
and I hope you enjoy the story and the series future possibilities.
Praise for the Book
"Murder, ghosts, psychics, the writer's life - this story
had everything I so enjoy in a good book. It's certainly an 'unorthodox' tale.
Well-written and captivating, this gripping thriller entices the reader from
beginning to end. I look forward to more Kendra Spark novels." ~ Sandra's
Book Reviews
"This book has everything I love. Suspense and paranormal.
I felt the character development was well done. The story was very well
written. You follow Kendra, Jenna and Derek (ghost whisperer, ghost and FBI)
thru a thrilling ride of mystery with a ghost to help along the way. [...] I am
excited that this is only book 1 because I can see big things coming with this
series and author." ~ angelique burns
"This is a thrilling, suspenseful read that combines ghosts
and solving crimes, and does it quite well. The book is very interesting and
keeps you hooked, from start to finish, really pulling you right into the crime
scenes, and the sad, untimely death of the FBI analyst." ~ Naturalbri

a good page-turning suspense-thriller, especially when it’s a ghost story and a romance. When she’s not writing,
editing, or reading, she’s hiking, RV’ing, fishing, playing with grandchildren,
or enjoying time with her favorite muse (her husband) in Southwest Michigan.
