ABOUT THE BOOK:
Harper
Winston’s brother has disappeared.
Pursuing his dream of sailing the Caribbean, Michael hasn’t responded to
texts or emails, and even the Coast Guard can’t find him. Desperate, Harper is forced turn to private
investigator and wealthy owner of Maximum Security, Chase Garrett, once her
brother’s best friend.
Dealing with
the Winston crime family goes against everything Chase stands for, but old loyalties
die hard. As the case progresses, he’s
drawn closer to Harper and deeper and deeper into trouble. With time running out, Chase must find a way
to keep Harper safe…and both of them alive.
The Texas Mystique
Since my new book, THE CONSPIRACY, Chase Garrett
and Harper Winston’s story, is set in Texas, I thought it might be fun to talk
about one of my favorite places.
There is something special about Texas. My husband and I lived in Houston for a
couple of months one summer and it was a wonderful experience. The people in Texas are extremely friendly, and
always seem to be in a good mood.
We stuffed ourselves on gourmet meals in some of
the country’s finest restaurants, ate a ton of delicious Tex Mex, enjoyed Asian,
Indian flatbread, and just about everything else. We visited art galleries, the beach, and drove
past some of the beautiful ranches in the area.
That was the good news. The bad news was Houston in August is
HOT. It’s also muggy and sticky and you
just can’t wait for October to arrive. Or maybe September.
Two years ago, we traveled to Lubbock for a
Western Writers of America conference. I
was reluctant to go in the summer, but it turned out to be a really great
trip--hot but dry. We visited the Museum
of Texas Tech and met some fun people, including old-time movie star, Barry
Corbin, who’s been in everything from Urban Cowboy to The Best Little Whore
House in Texas.
For the past few years, I’ve been setting my stories
in Dallas, one of my favorite cities. In
THE CONSPIRACY, out January 22nd, Harper Winston’s brother has
disappeared. Desperate to find him,
Harper is forced turn to the wealthy owner of Maximum Security, private
detective, Chase Garrett, once her brother’s best friend.
But dealing with the Winston crime family won’t be easy. With time running out, Chase must find a way
to keep Harper safe...and both of them alive.
Texas is a place that captured my soul long ago. If you don’t have time to visit, I hope you
look for Harper and Chase in THE CONSPIRACY and that you enjoy.
Till next time, all best and happy reading, Kat
