MY HUSBAND EAMON WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN THE LINE of duty while I was sleeping.
This novel is based on my short story "Whiskey & Ribbons" and I always say that Eamon dying isn't a spoiler because it's literally in the first sentence of the book and in the synopsis. Originally, I considered having Eamon get killed halfway through the book but I couldn't do it! At one point I stopped writing and cried into my hands about it! So I killed him before the book started and then zipped back in time and gave him his own sections, so the reader could get to know him. I have lived with these characters in my heart since around 2000 and they will always be so incredibly dear to me...forever a part of me and not just my writing career, but the artist and writer inside of me who not only believed but knew...knew that I could and should tell this story and that this story would find its readers and I was very blessed to be right about that.
