Q&A with Debbie De Louise

One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.
After reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Debbie De Louise, I had a few questions about her story and the characters.

About Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Librarian Alicia McKinney has put the past behind her…
Two years ago, Alicia discovered both a terrible truth and lasting love with John McKinney in the small town of Cobble Cove, New York. Now a busy mother of twin babies and co-author of a mystery series, Alicia couldn’t be happier.
Alicia’s contentment and safety are challenged…
Walking home alone from the library, Alicia senses someone following her, and on more than one occasion, she believes she is being watched. Does she have a stalker? When the local gift shop is burglarized, the troubling event causes unrest among Alicia and the residents of the quiet town.
John and Alicia receive an offer they can’t refuse…
When John’s sister offers to babysit while she and John take a much-needed vacation in New York City, Alicia is reluctant to leave her children because of the disturbances in Cobble Cove. John assures her the town is safe in the hands of Sheriff-elect Ramsay. Although Alicia’s experience with and dislike of the former Long Island detective don’t alleviate her concern, she and John take their trip.
Alicia faces her worst nightmare…
The McKinney’s vacation is cut short when they learn their babies have been kidnapped and John’s sister shot. Alicia and John’s situation puts them between a rock and a hard place when the main suspect is found dead before the ransom is paid. In order to save their children, the McKinneys race against the clock to solve a mystery more puzzling than those found in their own books. Can they do it before time runs out?

Q&A

1. Alicia and John, wonderful characters, good parents and a happy couple. Nice people have to try a lot to enjoy life and tranquility. Why is this so difficult in our days?

1. That’s a tough question. I think modern life makes things more complicated for families and individuals. In most families, because of living expenses, the husband and wife both have to work. This takes time away from being with each other and their kids.

2. What’s your opinion about John’s sister?

2. I think she means well and cares about her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece. She is a bit eccentric because of her wealth, but she is also very generous.

3. What’s the beauty of life and the worst experience for a person?

3. To me, animals and pets, especially cats and nature are the most beautiful experiences – the plants, flowers, the ocean, the sunrise and sunset. They inspire and soothe us. The worst experience is losing someone you love, be it your husband/wife, parent, child, or pet.

4. Crime, is there anything we could do to get past of this nightmare?

4. The only thing we can do is try to be law-abiding people and be careful to avoid dangerous situations.

5. What is the worst fear of parents?

5. Losing their child, to illness, accident, or abduction.

6. What’s the meaning of family? What does family mean to you?

6. Family doesn’t necessarily have to be blood relatives. A group of people who are close, church members, good friends, neighbors, can be considered family. The members of a family protect one another and help one another in difficult times. They are always there when needed.

7. Tell me a few things about you and where can readers find you and your books?

7. I’m a librarian and a cat lover. I always add pets to my books. In my Cobble Cove cozy mystery series that now consists of 5 books, there’s Sneaky, the Siamese library cat. Between a Rock and a Hard Place is the second book of the series. My new release, No Gravestone Unturned, is the 5th book. I’ve also written standalone thrillers and a paranormal romance. All my books can be found on Amazon, and the eBooks are free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. My website/blog and newsletter sign up is found at https://debbiedelouise.com.
