Title- Captured Lies

She was kidnapped not once but twice and now someone wants her dead because of it.... Her life was a lie! Bailey knew her upbringing wasn’t normal but she’s worked hard to stabilize her life. At 29, she finally has a good business, a stable home; her life is miles from that of her childhood. Then suddenly her mother dies, leaving a gaping hole and a discovery that they may not even be related. If Guy, the private investigator is to be believed, her life is a lie. Using the skills she learned on the streets, Bailey travels back through a sketchy and dangerous past, to find answers. Dodging bullets, staying ahead of those who want her dead and convincing Guy she can do it alone, are making it difficult to discover not only the secrets of her mother’s past but that of a family claiming she is theirs.

Everyone seems to have a story... but who’s telling the truth? And who wants her dead? Is Guy part of the solution? Or part of the problem? To discover the facts, she’ll have to untangle a web of deceit, lies, and secrets, dating back over thirty years. 

If ‘Captured Lies’ was made into a movie and you could cast anyone you wanted, who would you choose? I would so love that and I truly believe that it would make a cool movie. In fact I’ve had several of my readers tell me the same thing. They could sooo, see Captured Lies as a movie.

To play Bailey, I think that Amanda Seyfried would be awesome in that role. She’d have to dye her hair brown.

 

To play Guy, I think that Channing Tatum would do nicely.

 

Wouldn’t they make a cute couple?

Can you provide us with a short history/bio on each of the main characters

 

Bailey is twenty nine and feels like she’s just getting her life on track. She has her own Interior Decorating business and she has lived in the same place for five years, a record for her. Her life has been anything but typical. She was raised by a single mom and moved frequently - sometimes during the day and sometimes at night. They lived in the seediest places and sometimes on the street. She never really had any friends, well at least not past grade two or three when they had managed to stay one place for long enough for her to make a friend. But then they moved suddenly and she never got to see her friend again. So she learned to be self-reliant and to look after herself. So when she’s told her life is a lie, she plans on getting answers... on her own.

 

Guy has gone into business with a partner and started Knight’s Associates, which is a private investigative business, mostly solving cyber crimes. He was trained to be a police officer and lasted a little over a year but soon realized he wasn’t cut out for it. He was raised by his step-grandmother who saved him from a life of foster homes at the age of nine after his mom died and his real grandmother decided to create a scandal and use him as a means for blackmail. Guy knows how lucky he has been to have been taken in not only by such a wonderful woman but a
wealthy one. He never wanted for anything but he also never took advantage of it either. So when she asks him to find her granddaughter who had been kidnapped as a baby, he can’t say no.

 

Guest Post Topic: What inspired you to write in the suspense romance genre?

 

I love reading. I have been reading since I was quite young. I started out reading romances and real life stories. Then I branched out and started reading pretty much everything I could get my hands on. I also love writing and have been
writing since I was quite young. When I was in my late twenties I decided I wanted to write a romance. I loved reading Nora Roberts, Judith McNaught, Jayne-Anne Krentz and many others and so I wanted to know if I could write like them. So I wrote a romance. And then another. And then another. I never really did anything with them because I always felt there was something missing. They weren’t quite there, as in being a good romance not as in writing like the authors I mentioned. :) By this point in time I had found authors like Sandra Brown, Mary Higgins Clarke, Robert Ludlum and many others. I found I loved the suspense. The intrigue. The mystery. So I started to play around with Captured Lies, the first novel I published, which was originally just a romance. I already really liked the story and had a lot of positive feedback from people but I wanted to add something. So I started to change it up. And I found that I liked the story a lot more. It was more compelling. More interesting. More grabbing. It finally felt like the story and  my writing was finally there. I learned that I like creating suspense. I like creating strong, independent women who can look after themselves. I like having these women go on a journey to solve something and to ultimately find someone as well.

I think suspense, murder, mystery and romance make a fascinating read. Don’t you?
