Character interview—Blake Morgan

CF: Thanks for sitting down with me for an interview today, Blake.

Blake: It’s my pleasure to be here. *Grins* Maybe we could have a drink later. You know, after the interview. See where the evening takes us.

CF: Thanks for the offer, but I’m married. Then again, I’ve heard that doesn’t stop you.

Blake: Ouch. Have you been talking to Lizzie Hart?

CF: She and I are tight. I interviewed her a while back. She’s a bit of a firecracker.

Blake: She’s certainly infuriating at times.

CF: Wow. Maybe we’d better stay on topic. What do you do at the Liberty Chronicle?

Blake: *Puffs out chest* I’m the lead investigative reporter. I write hard-hitting stories and exposés, giving our readers the information they need to know.

CF: Is there really that much to report about in Liberty? Aren’t there better news stories elsewhere?

Blake: You’d think that, but there is definitely an undercurrent of danger here. With all of the craziness that’s happened lately, the stories are just as juicy as those I reported in Chicago.

CF: So you’re not a local? Why move to Liberty of all places from Chicago?

Blake: No, I’m not a local, but my father grew up here. I moved to Liberty to handle my ailing grandfather’s estate. I could probably move back now that I have everything in order, but there’s something about this town that makes me want to stick around for a while.

CF: Does that something rhyme with Lizzie?

Blake: Maybe we should stay on topic here.

CF: Right. Sorry. So how do you go about investigating a story?

Blake: I employ several different tactics to gather my information. Of course, there’s always simply interviewing people close to the situation. I have an in with the Liberty Police Department, so sometimes I can get access to semi-classified information. If all else fails, I have some rather sophisticated surveillance equipment at my disposal.

CF: That last part sounds marginally legal at best.

Blake: You say potato, I say you can’t sit around and wait for the story to come to you.

CF: Okay, then. Maybe we’ll quit talking about your work for a while. What do you like to do for fun?

Blake: Well, I was going to show you later after we get that drink…

CF: I think we’re done here.

Bad Medicine - Cover
BAD MEDICINE is the third book in THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series.

What do a smokin’ hot detective, an evil chiropractor, and a couple of blind dates from hell have in common?

Lizzie has to wrangle them all in the third book of THE LIZZIE HART MYSTERIES series!

Book Description:

Lizzie Hart is overjoyed that six whole months have passed without a single murder in the sleepy town of Liberty. It’s also been six months since Blake Morgan heartlessly dumped her, but she’s determined to get over him. She’s slimmed down, ready to party, and injury-free, except for a little nagging pain in her ankle. She’s also very single, but her friends are doing everything in their power to fix that—including setting her up on one disastrous blind date after another.

Lizzie’s reprieve is short-lived when an old friend of hers is found dead from an apparent drug overdose. She wants to write it off as bad behavior after having seen the guy cheating on his wife with the new chiropractor in town. However, when she sees that same chiropractor playing doctor with another man who ends up dead, she worries there could be murder afoot.

Doing her best to stay on the right side of the law this time, Lizzie decides to go straight to the police with her suspicions. Unfortunately, the only cop available to speak with her is the stern yet hot new detective who has already given her a traffic ticket and a reprimand for public intoxication. Not surprisingly, he brushes her off, leaving her no choice but to begin snooping on her own. Lizzie soon learns she’s going to need help to get to the bottom of this mystery, but her best partner in crime solving, Blake, has turned into her worst enemy.

Can Lizzie and Blake find a way to work together to catch the killer…or will they kill each other first?
