Veronica Forand | A Kickass Heroine with a Heart of Gold
March 10, 2016
The heroine for my new release TRUE PERIL has a complex
personality, but no one can say she’s a pushover. Here are 5 things that make Eve a badass.
- She’s a graduate of the Police Academy.
- She’s an expert marksman.
- She prefers war zones to
- She takes on two rebel soldiers and wins.
- She points a gun at the head of the hero until he proves he’s on her side.
And 5 things that show her soft side.
- Her life’s work is to rescue children from being used as child soldiers,
cooks, and sex slaves.
- She tries to take down an arms dealer, but works to protect his family.
- She offers herself in exchange for a teenage girl who is about to be raped.
- Even after being mistreated by her family, she returns again and again to
give them another chance.
- She brings orphaned children into her apartment.
A Bostonian by birth, Veronica Forand regrettably lost her Boston
accent while moving from state to state and country to country. Cleveland
probably had the most profound effect on her ability to pronounce the "r" in the
word "park." She does try to return now and then to visit family and eat
long neck clams and lobster. Summers on Cape Cod are also high on the priority
list. Her experience in crime involves time as a court appointed attorney.
Eventually, she switched fields to where bigger crimes take place, corporate
tax. The allure of spending mornings in her pajamas homeschooling her children
and writing fascinating fiction caused her to change careers again. Now that the
kids are out of the house (in school), she writes romantic thrillers by day and
is the perfect wife and mother at night. Her experience in romance is
limited to one man. Luckily, he's still finding ways to charm her by taking her
on vacations to the south of France, Fiji, and the Green Mountains when time is
short. Avid travelers, they love to roam with their kids across continents in
pursuit of skiing, scuba diving, and the perfect piece of chocolate. She's
lived in London, Paris, Geneva, Washington D.C., and the accent destroying city
of Cleveland. She currently resides near Philadelphia.
She's this assassin's toughest assignment ever...
Socialite Trista
Patterson has turned her back on her life of privilege and dedicated herself to
helping others. Her mission to protect the world’s children often takes her into
the bleak and violent underbelly of third world countries. When a kidnapping
attempt goes wrong, Trista quickly finds herself running for her life...and
married to a man she just met...as she’s placed at the top of the Cartel’s most
wanted list. Some days no good deed goes unpunished.
Dane
O’Brien has spent his life in the shadows. Once a lethal assassin he grew tired
of losing his soul with every hit, trading his gun and missions for a conference
table and office politics as an undercover operative for the CIA. But when
visiting his humanitarian sister turns deadly, Dane finds himself swearing to
protect her beautiful and passionate friend Trista no matter the cost...even if
it means stepping back into the world he swore never to return to. Although
falling for the tough-hearted Trista is easy, keeping her alive is hard.
