Patricia Bradley returns!

Patricia, an award-winning author who writes page-turning suspense, was my first Novelists Unwind guest…way back in August 2017! We’ve been friends since before either of us were published, and I’m thrilled to have her back for another Novelists Unwind chat.

Patricia’s latest book, Standoff, is the first book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers Series.

We talk about characters who refuse to talk, the history of the Natchez Trace Parkway, the suspicious death of Merriwether Lewis (of the famed Lewis and Clark team), the roles of park rangers, and Patricia’s popular blog posts featuring a Mystery Question–out of four “stupid criminal” options, can you pick out the one she made up?

Patricia also reveals her favorite way to kill a character!

Standoff

The Natchez Trace National Parkway stretches 444 miles from Nashville to Natchez, the oldest town on the Mississippi River. It’s the perfect road for a relaxed pleasure drive. Unfortunately for park ranger Luke Fereday, lately it’s being used to move drugs. Sent to Natchez to infiltrate the organization at the center of the drug ring, Luke arrives too late to a stakeout and discovers the body of his friend, park ranger John Danvers.

John’s daughter Brooke is determined to investigate her father’s murder, but things are more complicated than they first appear, and Brooke soon finds herself the target of a killer who will do anything to silence her. Luke will have his hands full keeping her safe. But who’s going to keep him safe when he realizes he’s falling–hard–for the daughter of the man he failed to save?

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley introduces you to a new series set in the sultry South that will have you wiping your brow and looking over your shoulder.

Justice Delivered

Carly Smith came by her trust issues honestly. A victim of sex trafficking, she’s been at the mercy of merciless men, ignored by law enforcement officers who should have helped her, and seemingly rejected by her family. She can’t even trust herself to do the right thing. Though she escaped her captors and is working hard on building a new life, the past continues to haunt her when she discovers that the man she couldn’t bring herself to report to police for fear of reliving her captivity is still out there, luring vulnerable girls under the guise of being a modeling agent.

When her own niece is kidnapped, Carly must overcome her fears and come forward with the information she has before it’s too late. When that proves to be not enough, she’ll have to go after the perpetrators herself.

Award-winning author Patricia Bradley keeps the suspense taut and the stakes high in this fast-paced story that will have readers turning pages long into the night.
