What my stories have in common is a place. I call that place Riverton, New York. Riverton is located in remote Northern New York State where I happened to grow up.It was very isolated there. People didn’t leave much because of the weather and the location. They didn’t leave in winter because the snowstorms were so severe they might not be able to get back again. The tiny airport would be socked in and passenger trains hadn’t run that far north since the 1960’s.
In summer most of us in the North Country didn’t need to go to the seashore or southern heat because the beautiful and balmy Thousand Islands were twenty-five miles away. We kept houses and cottages there along Lake Ontario or the St. Lawrence River instead of travelling long distances to other vacation spots.
Extreme things happen in isolated places. At least that’s how my imagination sees it. People who tend to live close together most of the time tend to murder each other more often. Their love affairs tend to be more intense. At least that’s how my imagination sees it.
Even though Riverton is a lovely town filled with lovely folks – darkness and passion are everywhere. Violent death occurs in each of my stories and hot sex too. The more stories I write – the more dark and passionate Riverton becomes. That’s how my imagination sees it.
These stone cold killers and smoldering lovers only exist in the pages of my books. But with every book I write they get more and more real to me. Give my Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Series a read. I’ll bet they get very real to you too. Real enough to chill your bones and set fire to your heart.
