Bombshell

by Alison Clifford

While Beth relishes her career as a forensic botanist with the FBI, Warren is fed up with the endless round of meetings his management role requires. He wants to be hands-on with investigations, but that’s not something an executive assistant director with the FBI does.
Warren is tempted by a job offer from his best friend, but must reconsider when Beth is given a life-changing diagnosis which will impact their future.
A bank robbery gone wrong leaves an innocent man dead, sparking an FBI investigation. The thieves believe they are safe from discovery, but a crucial piece of evidence is left behind. Beth uses the evidence to narrow the search, leading to an arrest.
The robbery investigation takes a turn when the man they have in custody dies while awaiting trial.
Then a suspect in the case is killed by a bomb.
And then another.
Is a vigilante killer on the loose, or is a grieving family member seeking revenge?
And who is next on the list?

About the author

At the beginning of December 2013, I sat down at my computer and started typing. I had a story in my head that insisted on being released and four months later I had written my first novel.

Writing is not new for me. I've been writing since my teenage years. It is only now that I have felt the urge to take it more seriously.

My credentials? I don't have a degree in writing and I'm not published extensively (yet). My first job was the Australian Army Reserve and I left only to enlist in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). I loved the life and it has left me with an interest in the things military and law enforcement related. Another passion in my life is research. I love to find out about things and have been doing that since high school. Not content with set assignments, I used to take up my own research projects on a wide range of topics. So rest assured, if it's in one of my stories, I have researched it extensively. Having said that, there will be occasions when I need to take a bit a license, bend the truth to fit the story.

I love writing. I love letting the story inside me come to life on a page. It's intoxicating. The pure pleasure I experience is something incredible, so I will keep writing for as long as the stories keep appearing in my mind. If someone else enjoys reading what I write, then that increases the joy I feel. Winners all round!

In brief:

Age: Old enough to have grown three grown children.

Lives: Tasmania, Australia.

Inspiration for stories: Music of all kinds, overheard comments, strange news items.
