Wendy Roberts | Author-Reader Match: BURNING HOPE

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Wendy Roberts!

 

Writes:

I’ve always been drawn to reading multiple genres and when I started writing, it was hard to choose just one – so I didn’t! I write murder mysteries with a healthy dash of paranormal and a sprinkle of romance mixed in for good measure. My stories feature strong heroines with unique gifts. My newest book, BURNING HOPE, is about a young woman named, Red, who is living the vagabond lifestyle in her campervan. She is also a fire seer who finds herself the suspect in a small town murder investigation.

 

About:

Are you someone who loves to travel and doesn’t mind getting lost on an adventure? If so, we just might be the perfect match. When I’m not writing on the road in my campervan, I call Vancouver Canada home. I’m a sucker for sunrises with coffee, sunsets with wine and evenings spent watching true crime documentaries. I’m a fan of all things mysterious but a huge chicken at heart.

 

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

  • Appreciates mysteries with a lot of twists and turns
  • Enjoys character driven stories where you have a vested interest in the heroine’s journey
  • Loves paranormal elements
  • Adores every day women put in extraordinary circumstances that show their strength

 

What to expect if we're compatible:

  • You’ll think you have the mystery figured out but then you’ll be surprised
  • There will be edge-of-the-seat moments
  • The characters are relatable but with unique talents
  • Suspense and drama that are beyond your usual cloak and dagger

BURNING HOPE by Wendy Roberts

A Red Hooper Mystery #1

Burning Hope

Red Hooper’s never been what you’d call lucky, but searching for coffee and finding a dead body instead takes things to a whole other level. Even worse, she and her camper van, Bubbles, just rolled into town, and being the new girl makes her suspect number one.

Red never lingers in one place for long—she’s got secrets better left undiscovered—and this time she’s definitely overstayed her welcome. Caught in the crosshairs of a police investigation and creeping to the top of the real murderer’s to-do list, Red will have to plant some roots if she’s going to survive.

Easier said than done. It seems like everyone in town has made up their mind about Red…except the mysterious Noah Adams. The gruff townie might be the key to proving her innocence—if he doesn’t bring even more trouble her way. Together they unravel the mystery surrounding the murder, but Red will be forced to embrace her psychic gifts if she’s going to clear her name before the real murderer snuffs her out.
