D.B. Jones Hi Denise,
Thank you for your interest.
The complete Holding onto Us Trilogy will be out in the spring of 2016. Struggling to Hold on will be release independently from The Christmas Miracles in early March. I'll be posting it on my Facebook page, website, Twitter and on Goodreads.
D.B. Jones Madison Hart is a young tenacious, FBI Agent who returns to her hometown to help her sister investigate a missing person’s case. But soon finds herself know on a trail that leads her into the depths of someone’s dark obsession…and murder.
She partners with a Detective from the Maitland Police Department, Josh Logan. As the leads are mounting, so is the body count, and the closer Madison gets to the truth, the more her life is in danger.
Beyond Secrets is the first book in the Madison Hart Mysteries, followed by Beneath Secrets and, just released, The Dark Side of Secrets. Coming in 2016 is Murder in Maitland.
D.B. Jones I'm still working on it, but some times if I need to step a romance scene up a notch, I may have another glass of wine...***grinning***
D.B. Jones I was asked how I got inspired to write and my answer is fairly simple. I’ve always had these stories playing out in my mind but it wasn’t until the loss of my mother and my brother who passed away five month later and the words they said to me, “Don’t wait until you’re too old or too sick to follow your dreams.” So I started writing a fantasy novel and gave life to the characters who resided in my head.
D.B. Jones What I would tell an aspiring writer is to write what you know about, write from your heart and don’t worry what the other authors are doing, just keep on writing. Something my late brother told me was, “do not wait until that someday to what you’ve always wanted to do.” Just sit down and start writing. You don’t have to know all the ins and outs of the business to put your story to print (or eBook) just …DO IT!!
D.B. Jones The best thing about being a writer, for me, is no matter what the world is dishing out; no matter the problems of the day, I can open up my computer and pound away at the keys and watch as the characters that have been dancing in my head come alive…that’s just me and I suspect true for many authors who are passionate about writing.
D.B. Jones Though my mind is continuously running with scenarios, characters and plots, when it comes to sitting down and working on a project, my fears stream in and try to block me with: What if I can’t convey my story so my readers will feel what I’m feeling? What if no one will like my book? What if I can’t reach any readers?
But I find if I just sit down and start writing, even if it’s just free writing, my thoughts are redirected to the lines forming on the once blank sheet on the computer and soon the rest of the woes of the world begin to vanish into the shadows and finally, nothing else exists but me pounding on the keys to bring my story to life.
D.B. Jones I traveled to a small town in the western mountains of Massachusetts that rested along the shores of a river and all I could see as I strolled through the town, was a great location for a mystery…then one thing led to another, thus, Nights of Autumn Book 2 in the Seasons of Passion Mystery Series was created.
D.B. Jones I'm currently working on a Young Adult Fantasy book 3 in the Willow of Endless Waters Trilogy - WILLOW AND THE GIFT
Also, Book 3 in the Seasons of Passion Mystery Series- STORMS OF WINTER
