×In Jason Pinter's second novel in the Rachel Marin thriller series, A STRANGER AT THE DOOR, Pinter has given Rachel a unique skill set: she has an uncanny ability to see clues that crime scene investigators may miss, making her a much-needed asset by her town’s understaffed homicide detectives, including her love interest, John Serrano. She’s also a lethal killer. This gives her leeway to do things that may be considered skirting the law. It also makes her one kick-ass helicopter mom. When danger lands on Rachel’s doorstep with the threat of harming her young family, she has a vested interest in solving the heinous murder of a local high school teacher, Matthew Linklater—he was brutally murdered before his home was set afire. Solving the beloved teacher’s death becomes imperative, especially when it turns out that some of her son Eric’s classmates may be involved. Jason and I discuss how he came up with the plot, and how being a parent helped him create the empathy needed to let loose the Tiger Mom in his intrepid protagonist. A STRANGER AT THE DOOR is in Amazon. You can also purchase it at your local bookstore. For more about Josie, go to https://www.josiebrown.com…
In New York Times best-selling Author Eileen Goudge’s latest novel, All THEY NEED TO KNOW, Kyra, an abused wife of a rich, powerful man goes on the run, ending up across the country in a small California town where she hopes to hide out. Instead, she is embraced by the locals, who offer friendship, support, and acceptance—no questions asked. Inevitably, though, terror comes knocking. Is Kyra strong enough to confront it? This novel is especially compelling because it’s based on incidents that happened to Eileen. In our very candid conversation, she shows that a fully-lived life isn’t just fodder for fiction, but the greatest catalyst for exorcizing the demons of one’s past.

In THE WHISPER SISTER, Jennifer S. Brown delivers an atmospheric coming-of-age story set in Prohibition-era New York, tracing one immigrant family’s fortunes and a young girl’s journey from the schoolyard to the speakeasy. The streets of New York in 1920 are most certainly not paved with gold, as Minnie Soffer learns when she arrives at Ellis Island. Her father, who left Ukraine when Minnie was a toddler, feels like a stranger. She sleeps on a mattress on the kitchen floor, and she understands nothing at school. They came to America for this? When her father, Ike, opens his own soda shop, stability and citizenship seem within reach. But the soda shop is not what it seems; it’s a front for Ike’s real moneymaker: a speakeasy. When tragedy strikes the Soffers, Minnie has no choice but to take over the bar. She’s determined to make the speakeasy a success despite the risks it brings to herself, her family, and her freedom. At what price does the American dream come true? Minnie won’t stop until she finds out. Check out Jennifer S. Brown’s THE WHISPER SISTER on Amazon and in other bookstores.

Hank Phillippi Ryan’s latest thriller, HER PERFECT LIFE, Lily Atwood, is an award-winning on-air television reporter with a seemingly perfect life. A job she loves that earns her incredible celebrity status, a seven-year-old loving daughter, Rowen, who goes to a posh private school; and the perfect beautiful home in a safe neighborhood.

Novelist Josie Brown interviews best-selling author James Rollins on his thriller, CRUCIBLE. Something old—in this case, an ancient witch hunter's tome—and something new: artificial intelligence, which goes by the less frightening initials AI. When combined, they are a hair-raising combination in James Rollins' thriller, CRUCIBLE. Rollins success as a thriller author comes from his research. His deep dives into subjects from our past always comes from not just asking, "What if?..." But "What if it's catastrophic to the world—or worse yet, world order?" Since writing CRUCIBLE, AI's conquests is everywhere: not just the sciences but the arts too. Rollins saw it coming, making this 2018 interview prescient on too many levels.

In the first novel in Camilla Chafer’s sixteen-book Lexi Graves series, a boring temp job immediately becomes exciting—and deadly—when Lexi finds one of the company’s bosses face down in a pool of blood. When it’s discovered that millions of dollars missing from the company’s coffers, Lexi is also the chief suspect. Throw in the fact that her sexy new boss is not all he seems to be, and you see why Lexi may be in over her head.

IT COULD BE WORSE, Dara Levan’s heartbreaking debut novel, is a tour de force chronicling a woman’s journey through the anxieties, trials, and tribulations with pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood—all the while addressing one parent’s toxic narcissism and the other’s enabling of it. Despite the dark circumstances that propel her protagonist Allegra’s anxieties and fear, Levan provides the necessary crises that provoke several insightful reckonings and allows her to open up to her husband and friends. But it is Allegra’s own unique parenting skills that provide needed proof that clarity comes at all ages and stages of life. The climax makes for a fabulous ending. In my discussion with Dara, we discuss what drove her to write it, how she was able to draw such strong pathos out of certain scenes that certainly had me biting my nails, and how she was able to use the actions of parents who, wittingly or not, could harm their children. Truly a must-read. Dara Levan’s IT COULD BE WORSE IS IN BOOKSTORES NOW. Check out Josie's website at https://josiebrown.com This has been a copyrighted episode of Author Provocateur with Josie Brown.
