Rionna Morgan with D'Ann Lindun

Wanting a book that has you turning the pages!  Wanting an entertaining, suspenseful read!  Well, then I have got one for you.  My friend and fellow Crimson romance author, D'Ann Lindun has put together some fantastic scenes!  Join me as we chat a bit about her book that will hit the cyber shelves--today!  
Buy on Amazon!

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? 
D'Ann:  I draw inspiration from the area where I live, Western Colorado, my husband of twenty-nine years and our daughter. Composites of our small farm, herd of fourteen horses, five Australian shepherds, a Queensland heeler, eight ducks and cats of every shape and color often show up in my stories! My road to publication was long and rocky—twenty years of dashed hopes and crushed dreams before I got the call (email)!
How did you choose the genre you write in? 
D'Ann:  I didn’t. It chose me. I love mysteries of any kind, especially murder mysteries, and they bugged me until I satisfied the urge to begin writing my own.
Do you work with an outline, or just write? 
D'Ann:  Just write. I’ll see a fully developed scene, write it, and fill in everything else later.

Can you tell us about your upcoming book? 
D'Ann:  Sure! Love to. This is actually the blurb: Her family ranch outside of Payson, Arizona, is the last place Castaña Castillo thought she’d ever see again. But when her mustang activist brother goes missing, Castaña returns home to lead the search. Years of bad blood between local law enforcement and the Castillo men lead Castaña to believe the local cops won’t put out much effort to locate her brother. Especially since they think he murdered two federal wildlife agents. Disgraced FBI agent Jake Breton needs to bring in Martin Castillo to redeem himself and resurrect his career. Falling in love with someone related to the suspect is the last thing he can afford to do. The last time he followed his heart, and not his head, it nearly cost him his life.

Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or is it purely all imagination? 
D'Ann:  Only that I’m a huge proponent for the American mustang…for their right to live free, and not end up in slaughterhouses or holding pens. I’ve been through Payson, Arizona, many times. Hauled horses and camped out with them. 

What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why? 
D'Ann:  The first one. It was fun introducing Castaña and Jake. And I love the setting of Northern Arizona.
What project are you working on now? 
D'Ann:  A lady sheriff on the trail of a serial killer, and the undercover DEA agent also working the case.

Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers? 
D'Ann:  Yes! Don’t quit! This business is very hard. I got over 200 rejections before I got the email!
Now for the clever-silly question, if you were a t-shirt, what would you say? 
D'Ann:  Cowgirl Up! I think that says it all. When you get knocked down, get up, get on and move out.
Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
