Thank you, Jackie for having me on Murderous Musings. I feel right at home among mystery writers since I also have an infinity for killing off people. On paper at least. When some of my friends and former co-workers read my first book, Grave Secrets, they couldn’t believe I’d written it.

Where did that come from, they’d ask. You’re so sweet and nice so how did you think of such a dark character?

Um….

I think everyone who writes mysteries knows there’s a bit of a dark side to all of us. It’s a matter of tapping into it, then transferring that to paper.

I love putting my hero and heroine through their paces; throwing them into dangerous places, then proceed to make it worse.

In Last Hope Alaska, my latest release from The Wild Rose Press, I’ve done exactly that. I keep throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them. Oh, wait. I think I even threw the metaphorical sink at them in the end. J  But being the romantic that I am, they had to have their Happy Ever After, even if they are a bit banged up. I suppose that’s why I write romance as opposed to straight mystery, that HEA.

In LAST HOPE ALASKA, Emily Redfern's ex-fiancé learned to kill on the back streets of New York. Now, she is his target. Broke, exhausted, and a step ahead of the man she once loved, she clings to one last hope: the wilds of Alaska. The quiet safety of her hide-a-way becomes addictive as she grows to care for the man who offers her refuge.

Released from prison after a wrongful conviction, native Alaskan Sam Tarkington is determined to regain his business, repair his reputation, and rebuild his life. But when he meets a desperate and vulnerable woman, guarding secrets of her own, she tugs at his heart. She's a distraction he can't afford. Sam must choose Emily or achieving his dreams.

Like Emily's life, the peacefulness of the wilderness is an illusion as danger lurks in the distance. Does Sam hold the key to her survival or will her past cost them everything?

Thank you again for having me, Jackie. I’ve enjoyed visiting.

Featuring Linda Trout—Romantic Suspense Author Extraordinaire

Today I’m welcoming Linda Trout who writes dynamite romantic suspense stories, to tell us a little about herself and her work. Let’s start with the routine question of how you got started writing.

Linda Trout

Linda: Hi, Jackie. First, thanks for having me at Murderous Musings. I’ve always loved a good mystery and I’m a romantic at heart. I suppose that’s why I combine the two disciplines and write romantic suspense.

Even at a young age, I was fascinated with the written word. However, I didn’t take my writing seriously until later in life. Now I can’t see me doing anything else. And no matter what I try to write, there’s always an element of mystery or suspense in it.

In my previous occupation I was an accountant. So cut and dried...rather boring, actually. Guess that’s why I turned to killing people off. Well, on paper at least. LOL When I’m not creating mayhem in my stories, I’m either off riding my Harley or working in the flower beds. I live in Northeastern Oklahoma, have a wonderfully supportive husband, and all of my children are furry with four legs (2 dogs and 3 cats). Needless to say the critters rule the roost.

Jackie: Tell us about your work and the books you have available for us to buy.

Linda: My first book, GRAVE SECRETS, was recently released by The Wild Rose Press. I’m so grateful I had an editor to point out all the places where my ‘perfect work of fiction’ needed to be fixed. I have a new appreciation for all they do for authors.

Sara Adams is desperately searching for her missing baby; Morgan Daniels is trying to prove she's a murderer. Will the remains of an infant in her husband's grave prove either of them right? Or will they find there's more than one explanation?

Fate has thrown them together, but will they survive the encounter?

My latest novella, SHATTERED PROMISES in the anthology ROMANCE – THE SPICE OF LIFE, has just been released, by DIVA Press. All of the stories are romance, but each depicts a different sub-genre. My subgenre is suspense. As an extra bonus, each story includes a delicious tried and true recipe. One reason I especially love this book is that not all of the hero’s and heroine’s are in their 20’s or 30’s. Love can (and does) bloom at any stage of life.

Shattered Promises -Novella by Linda Trout

Miranda Johnson never expected to see Wade Malone again--not in this life. But after a deadly plane crash reunites them, these former lovers will need to stay two steps ahead of a kidnapper to rekindle their love and mend shattered promises.
