Joan is a good friend, and has the final book of her trilogy available right now. She’s also one of my compatriots over at Story Empire. Make her feel welcome and share her excerpt across your social media. Joan, the floor is yours.
Craig, thank you for hosting me today and helping to spread the word about my new release with your readers. Unclear Purposes is the third and final book of the Driscoll Lake Series.
The male lead in this book is a former FBI agent turned PI. He has a few secrets. Let’s learn a little more about Vince Green.
Excerpt:
“Good morning, Agent Green.”
Vince’s eyes narrowed. “Tami Sutton. What brings you here today?”
“Came to see you, of course.”
“It’s been a while since anyone referred to me as Agent Green.”
She cast a glance around the office. “Nice place you have here. Small but efficient. Good location.”
“Suits my purpose. But I gather you’re not here to discuss my place of business.” Vince sat on the corner of his desk.
He was straightforward and to the point. Tami liked that. “You’re right. I want you to do a job for me. Money’s good…”
“…Why not hire someone who lives in New Mexico? Or even San Antonio?”
“Because I believe you’re the best suited for the job. I’ve checked your background, so I know about a certain incident in Alpine. It turns out, we have something in common.”
Vince’s jaw tightened. “That isn’t a subject up for discussion.”
“No? Then I won’t mention it again. But I think you’ll agree we have the same goal.”
“How’s that?”
“Like me, you want answers and are willing to take risks to get them. So much it cost you a promising career.”
“Leaving the FBI was my choice.”
“That’s not what I heard.”
Blurb:
Some people take secrets to the grave…
Three years after her husband’s murder, Christine Lawrence still struggles for balance. She has a rewarding career and a close circle of friends but feels oddly unfulfilled. Worse, the close relationship she once had with her teenage daughter has grown increasingly strained.
Former FBI agent, Vince Green, is battling demons of his own—painful secrets that drove him from Driscoll Lake. Newly resettled in the small town, he makes his living as a private investigator.
When Vince and Christine cross paths, stumbling over the body of a murder victim, he’s forced to confront memories he thought long buried. The circumstances surrounding the killing are eerily similar to a victim from his past.
As the body count continues to rise, Christine finds herself drawn to Vince. With a murderer stalking the streets of Driscoll Lake, neither is aware the killer has targeted her as the next victim—or that Vince’s past is key to unmasking a disturbed and deadly killer.

Vince is an excellent character, Joan. You did a great job with his history, motivations and the skeletons in his closet in Unclear Purposes. Nice to see you visiting with Craig. I loved the book and hope many others discover it as well.
Always love seeing two of my SE friends together, Way to go with the hosting, Craig.

Ah, thanks, Mae. It’s nice to visit with other SE authors and I appreciate Craig’s willingness to host me today. And thanks for the comments about Vince. He had a minor part in book one and that’s all I intended for him at the time. But when the idea came for a trilogy, it just seemed natural to make him the male lead in this one.
