Author Interview:

What inspired you to become a writer?

Over about 30 years, I submitted articles to publications like Redbook, Readers Digest and Twilight Zone magazines. In 2011 I decided to try my hand at writing a novel. The rest is history because I now have authored true crime, young adult, comedy and cookbooks.

What did you do before you became a published author?

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering but my most recent employment was as CEO of an Information Technology company. I am now retired and writing fills my need to be active.

Is there anything you found particularly challenging about writing?

A long time ago, someone told me to just put my fingers on the keys and start typing; not caring about the output. I have found that sometimes I cannot come up with anything to write about, and this trick works every time.

Who are your cover designers?

I design every cover for my books. I have a background in promotion and feel this is a talent that suits me well at this time.

What authors are your inspiration?

I like to read a lot of different authors. John Grisham and Robert R. McGammon are two of my favorites. I also read Patricia Cromwell, James Patterson and Nora Roberts.

What advice would you give any newbie author or anyone that wants to pick up writing?

JUST START. Everything can be fixed at a later date, but that means nothing, if you don’t have anything to work with. Also, you have to write something everyday. It can be a story outline, a paragraph or several chapters; but you need to start first.

New Thriller Coming May 2019 – Tell No One By Barbara Taylor Sissel

Posted on by

Their desperate secret. Her desperate search. A shattering truth exposed.

Caroline Corbett wants nothing to do with her father, Hoff, a man who abandoned her as a young girl and then vanished from her life almost thirty years ago. But when her beloved aunt expresses a dying wish to see him once more, Caroline, despite her failing marriage and other personal troubles, drops everything to look for him.

Harris Fenton found the father figure he’d dreamed of when he turned eight and his mother married Hoff—but his disappearance four years later left Harris with scars he carries even now that he is a father himself. While he has a beautiful family and a great job, he’s hiding a shameful secret and a nightmare from his childhood.

Caroline’s search for Hoff soon uncovers a host of disturbing clues and draws a threat of violence. Her mind churns with memories of her troubled history, while Harris is losing the battle against his own demons. But for both of them, dredging up the past will be dangerous, and confronting the truth could prove life shattering.

As she turns from victim into primary suspect, Veronica realizes that only she can find her daughter. Authorities aren’t helping. They’re only watching.

The Disappeared By Sibel Hodge – The Widow. The Secret. The Liar.

Posted on by

The Disappeared…

On a routine flight from Africa to England, Dr Mason Palmer is tragically killed when the light aircraft he’s travelling on crashes and disappears in dense bushland.

The Widow…

Ten months later, Nicole Palmer is still trying to block out the grief of her husband’s sudden death. Until one morning she receives a photo of Mason through the post, along with a cryptic message. A message only he could’ve written.

The Secret…

But when Nicole tries to find out if Mason is really alive and what actually happened to him in Africa, everyone she turns to for answers ends up dead.

Determined to find the truth, Nicole uncovers a conspiracy that spans the globe, and discovers there are powerful people who are prepared to kill to keep her silent.

Who’s lying? Who’s watching Nicole? And can she expose their murky secrets before they catch up with her?

Reader Reviews

“A revealing mystery of international thieves, who will stop at nothing to make sure they control the market.
A husband declared dead ten months ago, a recent photo leads, Nicole into the plantations of South Africa, to find the truth, is her dead or alive, and what did he know that is worth killing for. You will not be able to put this boomtown until the final page. Not all international crime is drug related. “ – Kindle Customer

“If love of money is the root of all evil, then nowhere is this more evident than between the pages of this gripping, heart-pounding thriller. Sibel Hodge is up there as one of my favourite authors in the genre, and once again she pulls out all the stops.

Grieving Nicole believes that her beloved husband Mason was killed in a plane crash. Until … ten months later, she receives evidence that suggests all is not as it seems.

The author creates a wholly credible world with the fictional West African country of Narumbe where good people do good things, and very bad people will do absolutely anything to gain power and financial reward. Even at the expense of the most innocent of all.

Knowing how much of this book is based on real-life events in far from fictionalised countries sends a shudder of revulsion down the spine. And realising the true price of something we take for granted in our shopping baskets is a chilling lesson indeed. An absolute must-read.” – Audrey Davis – Reviewer
