A Word from Dana...

I loved reading suspense but had never really given much thought to writing it, mostly because I doubted my ability to do it. In 2013, an idea started bouncing around in my mind about a woman falsely accused with a crime. What if she went to prison? What if she had to go to the cop who arrested her? What if the real killer was after her?

The idea continued to pester me. Early in 2014, the editors of Love Inspired Suspense announced they were seeking new authors through a contest called “The Search for a Killer Voice”. I took a leap of faith, and on February 14, 2014, I submitted my first page. The date is forever cemented in my brain. Over the next few months, what was an idea developed into a book.  

My Review...

Melanie Swanson spent four years of her life in prison for a crime she did not commit. Few people have been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, including Lieutenant Jace Tucker, who is now tasked with protecting her. Someone is trying to prevent Melanie from recalling details from the past. However, she is determined to remember, as the truth is all she has left. Jace is forced to admit that recent events are more than just coincidence, especially when jurors from her case turn up dead. Is someone who is sworn to protect her involved? This is an exciting debut from this promising storyteller. The opening scene grabs the reader immediately, and it is easy to connect to the heroine. Lynn keeps the reader guessing until the end. The pace and plotting are ideal for reader engagement, and they will anxiously await a (hopeful) sequel.

About Dana...

Dana grew up in Illinois.  She developed a love for the written word very early on and started her first “book” in 5^th grade. Although she never got more than a few pages written, the dream was planted in her heart. She met her husband at a wedding and told her parents she had met her future husband. Nineteen months later, they were married. Today, they live in rural Pennsylvania with their three children and enough pets to open a petting zoo. In addition to writing, she works as an educational interpreter for the deaf and is active in several ministries at her church.
