Book Title: DEADLY FROST Character Name: Sparrow James   How would you describe your family or your childhood? Hi guys. Sparrow James here. I grew up on the west coast with a nature-loving family. My love of birds came from my mother, hence my name, but I got the biology bug from my father. I love field work; however, I don’t like the water. You see, my father was a marine biologist and I nearly drowned while on the ocean, hence my choice of wildlife biologist where I can keep my feet firmly on the ground. I have one brother and one sister. My entire family has been my rock after everything that happened. You’ll have to read the book to learn the details.   What was your greatest talent? I’m a black belt in Taekwondo. After growing up petite and people constantly underestimating my being able to take care of myself, I decided to master Korean martial arts. It has proved invaluable ever since.   Significant other? Well, now, that one is tricky. You see, I had a fiancé. He was a fellow wildlife biologist like me, but he disappeared two years ago when we were on a field…

Hi, everyone, I’m so glad to be here today. It’s March! The month of spring. I don’t know about you all, but I have had enough of being isolated. Between winter and covid, the days seem to drag on endlessly. I, for one, am ready for a fresh start. It’s a new year, full of new possibilities, and brand-new books! DARK SEAS (Coldwater Cove book 1) comes out on March 8th. The book takes place in a fictional little fishing village called Coldwater Cove in Maine. I’ve never lived in Maine, but I’m fascinated by the majestic state. I love the rugged coastline and cliffs, the powerful ocean, the quaint towns, the harbors filled with fishing boats, and the lighthouses. Maine lends itself as the perfect backdrop for a suspenseful book. I set Coldwater Cove to border Canada, with Nova Scotia right across the bay. With so much of Maine being remote, there aren’t enough border patrol agents to plug all the holes. Inspection stations and checkpoints are so spread out that many sections are unmanned for hours. Even with cameras and motion sensors in place, if an illegal immigrant, trafficker, arms dealer, or terrorist slipped through and was seen,…

You won’t find any better than those in Vermont’s Bennington County, where every spot to cross a stream seems to be under wooden eaves. You will find most of the covered bridges in the state’s southeastern corner, including the 88-foot-long Silk Road Bridge, which spans the Walloomsac River and dates from 1840. Anna drives over a covered bridge…
