Book Talk: Angela Carlisle
Listen to the episode with Angela Carlisle
I love introducing y’all to debut authors, and today’s conversation with Angela Carlisle is such a fun one. Angela’s first novel Secondary Target is a page-turning romantic suspense that kept me reading when I did not have time. That’s the sign of a compelling book! This novel contains a secret identity plot with a cold case all twisted up with a lost love story. There are so many secrets in this book that I asked her if they were all intentional. Angela said no because she’s not a plotter. She had a vague idea of where she was going and the rest happened. I have always admired people who can write like that!
Angela’s biggest challenge as a writer who also works a full-time job is getting the words down. I might be able to relate to that! She also wishes she could go back and tell herself to relax because getting published is going to take a really long time, but that’s normal. Make the most of the time to get better as a storyteller. It’s such good advice for all of us.
Secondary Target is out now and this is a book that I inhaled. Here’s more about it:
A ruthless murderer. A deadly secret. An unbreakable love.
After the brutal murder of her mother and brother twelve years ago, Corina Roberts built a new life in Kentucky. But when strange things begin to happen, she is thrust into a perilous game of life and death. With nowhere else to turn, her best hope of survival depends on her ex-boyfriend, army veteran Bryce Jessup.
Recently returned from service, Bryce has every intention of staying away from Corina, but when threats close in around her, he isn’t willing to leave her safety to chance. As their search for answers uncovers lethal secrets her detective father kept hidden, Bryce and Corina must untangle the mystery of the merciless killer intent on terrorizing and eliminating Corina’s family before it’s too late.
