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 you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Angela Carlisle!
Writes:
Hi! I write small-town romantic suspense with characters who feel like family and are just waiting to take you on a wild ride where danger is real but so is hope. In my latest book, SHADOWED WITNESS, Allye Jessup is the sole witness to a murder—but when she regains consciousness at the scene, the bruises on her own neck are the only evidence a crime occurred or that anyone else was ever there. With the help of Detective Eric Thornton, will she be able to expose a killer before he decides to silence her permanently?
About:
Besides my obsession with words, I have a thing for tea. I’ve probably got 50+ varieties to choose from, and often make my own loose-leaf blends because, why not? Want to join me for a nice, hot cuppa?
On the other side of the kitchen, I like to experiment with recipes. I rarely find one that wouldn’t benefit from a little tweaking—and if I can make it healthier while keeping the tasty goodness? Even better!
I also enjoy leisurely walks on country roads, the sound of cicadas and spring peepers, spotting fireflies, and hanging out with family and friends.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Loves complex, big-hearted characters
- Enjoys a small-town setting where everyone knows everyone else
- Won’t be upset if my nail-biting suspense ruins your manicure
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Unexpected twists
- Lots of danger
- Sweet romance
- A big dose of hope
- A happily ever after—but only for the good guys
A haunting attack. A killer in the shadows. A protective love.
Murder—that's what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs outside her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her.
Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye's report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.
