REAL LIFE & FICTION
By Lillian Duncan
What
do you get when you mix a retired speech pathologist with a suspense writer?
DEADLY COMMUNICATIONS, of course! The series features Maven Morris, a speech
pathologist (another word for speech therapist) who has a knack for getting into
trouble—deadly trouble.
The
second in the series, DEADLY INTENT, has just released. YAY!
After
almost getting killed in Deadly Communications you would have thought Maven
would have learned her lesson! But no—not her! This time trouble comes in the
form of a small boy abandoned in a park—who can’t or won’t talk.
When
her best friend begs her for help, Maven can’t say no. She ends up as the
little boy’s foster mother… and that’s when all the trouble starts. Without
giving away the plot, let me say Maven has a few surprises and shocks coming
her way in Deadly Intent.
I
often get asked if my stories are based on real life. And they aren’t but…
sometimes real life seeps into the stories anyway. Deadly Intent is a perfect
example.
As
the story resolves, you’ll find an eerie similarity to a real-life event that
happened in Ohio that made headlines around the world. What event you might be
wondering?
Can’t
tell you—it will ruin the story.
But
let me tell you, I already had most of the story written before the headlines.
And that’s all I’m going to say about it. It’s one of those times when real
life is stranger than fiction!

Back Cover Blurb:
Everyone
belongs somewhere. The key to happiness is recognizing that place when you get
there.
Maven Morris
can’t seem to find that place. A childless widow, she has no immediate family.
Forced into a medical leave, she has no career. At loose ends, she hasn’t a
clue what’s next for her.
Her neighbor,
Paul Jordan knows what he wants—to move their friendship to a new level. Maven
may not know what’s next, but she does know she has no interest in romance with
anyone— not even her handsome neighbor.
When a young boy
is abandoned in the city park, he touches her heart. In spite of his obvious
special needs, she agrees to provide a temporary foster home for him. She has
no idea the impact he will have on her life—or the danger he brings to her
doorstep.
