Authors Are Odd Ducks by J.E. Taylor

Posted: 21 Aug 2014 12:26 PM PDT

Authors are odd ducks…

We live out our fantasies and nightmares on the pages of our books, recounting real and imagined scenarios for the joy of our fans. Those of us who choose to write series end up with multiple lives in our heads, so in that manner, it's a schizophrenia of sorts.

And when we are in the throws of a good story, we tend to adopt the mannerisms and thought patterns of our characters. This can be very interesting for those of us who work outside of writing. I know I have to be cautious, because the dripping sarcasm of a fallen angel has no place in a business meeting. Neither does a hormonal teenage boy, for that matter. If my internal editor doesn't catch it in time, those meetings can become… well, very interesting and sometimes I have erred on the side of a complete lack of political correctness.

As far as writing a series, some people plan and plot out their books before they sit down to write them. They know all the twists and turns that are going to happen within the framework they create. I'm not one of those authors. I usually have either a beginning scene or an end scene and I go from there.

When I started writing in earnest back in 2007, I did not intend to do an epic saga that spans three separate families and multiple series (The Games Thriller Series, The Steve Williams Series, Night Hawk Series and now The Ryan Chronicles).

The thing is, the characters kind of took over. A good example of this is Crystal Illusions (the fifth book in The Steve Williams Series). When I started that book, it was supposed to be a stand-alone mystery, but no, Steve Williams had a completely different idea. It was a shock when I wrote him in, but it made sense, so I let it ride.

In my experience, the characters can take over most any story if they had their druthers and there have been instances where I've disagreed with their intrusions. I think they just want their story told and whenever I reach the end of the saga, I'll be just as sad as my readers to see them go their merry way into the sunset. But until then, I'm having a blast living various lives.
Therefore, the next time you're reading, just imagine living with those characters in your head all the time. Thus, is the life of an author.

Enjoy!

“An intense dark and twisted love story!” -Tracey

USA Today Bestselling Author

I wish I could tell you that I was stolen.

Kidnapped off the street in some third-world country, sold against my will, while a desperate family back home waited and prayed and talked about me on the news.

I wish I could tell you that, because then you might understand.

What really happened? I walked to my fate with my eyes wide open. But before you say I deserved whatever happened to me, you should know. I was desperate. I was alone. I was afraid for my life. You would have done the same thing.

I thought things couldn't possibly get any worse.

But then, I woke up in darkness, unable to move. There was only one thing I was sure of: I wasn't alone anymore.

And then I heard HIS voice…

'A loud bang was heard from above, scaring the boys. They shined their lights up the stairwell. The sounds of chains rattling on the floor stirred the dust above. Something or someone was up there.

“This collection is one of those rare gems that become available so infrequently…..a talented, prolific group who are masters of humor-infused mystery writing.” -Fair Reviews

LOST VEGAS – Steve Brewer: Nick Papadopoulos used to be a button man for the Mob. Now he’s the front man for an aging casino in Fowler, Nevada, an isolated backwater known as “Lost Vegas.”

Nick’s stuck in a rut and deep in debt. Then he gets an idea: If someone would only rob his casino, he could collect on the insurance and get out from under. Tony Zinn runs a heist crew in San Francisco.

He’s never even heard of Fowler, Nevada. But Nick makes him an offer that’s almost too good to be true. Neither man expects interference from rival casino owner Big Jim Kelton or his hired goon, a huge Samoan named Shamu.

But once they’re involved, it can only end in bloodshed. Filled with twists and double-crosses, LOST VEGAS is Steve Brewer at his best.

FENDER BENDERS – Bill Fitzhugh: Eddie Long plans to be a country music star but he’s stuck touring the college frat circuit.

But after his nagging wife apparently dies at the hands of a serial killer, Eddie writes the best song of his life and it goes straight to number one.

Eddie’s friend, freelance writer Jimmy Rogers, senses a great opportunity and sets out to write the life story of Nashville’s newest sensation.

But Jimmy’s research unearths some troubling facts about the death of Eddie’s wife, facts that could ruin Eddie’s burgeoning career—while making Jimmy a star of the publishing world.

Throw in a beautiful and opportunistic country radio DJ, a pair of wily record producers, and a naive young singer-songwriter, and the stage is set.

Everybody plans to make a killing—one way or another.

It’s murder on Music Row, where things don’t always turn out as planned. Fender Benders won the Lefty Award (best humorous novel) at the Left Coast Crime Convention 2001.

FAVOR (Stanley Hastings Mystery Book 3) – Parnell Hall: It was just a simple favor. Drive down to Atlantic City, check out Sergeant MacAullif’s son-in-law, and see why his daughter wasn’t happy in her marriage.

Stanley Hastings started following the guy around, and quickly found himself involved with notorious loan sharks, sleazy private eyes, fat-cat casino owners, and crooked blackjack dealers, not to mention two dead bodies.

Stanley had no idea who killed them, or why, but all the clues seemed to point to the son-in-law. Only the witness blew the ID and the cops arrested Stanley instead.

Taking the fall for homicide is a hell of a favor. Stanley was in over his head, so he did the one thing he never thought he’d do in his life. He hired a private eye!

HABEAS PORPOISE (Solomon vs Lord series) – Paul Levine: The love-hate relationship of Solomon & Lord continues. Sure, opposites attract, but they argue, too!

This time, it starts with the kidnaping of two trained dolphins from Miami's Cetacean Park. When one of the ecoterrorists behind the raid turns up dead, his partner in eco-crime is charged with homicide, even though he didn't pull the trigger.

It's called "felony murder," and Solomon thinks it's a bum rap. What he doesn't count on is his lover and law partner Victoria Lord being named a special prosecutor.

Conflicts-of-interest abound, and Steve is up to his old tricks. At least, the mismatched legal duo agree on something…each one vows to win the case!

BUCK FEVER (Blanco County Mysteries Book 1) – Ben Rehder: It’s the week before deer season and Game Warden John Marlin is busy with poaching complaints, but then a call of a different sort comes in.

A man dressed in some sort of deer costume has been shot, and witnesses are reporting a wild-eyed buck prancing about in a lovesick frenzy.

Marlin’s seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn’t a stranger either.

It’s the beginning of a crazy weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians, and damn near the end.

“…a funny, entertaining, enjoyable story.” -Tracie P.

Ginger is about to relive the first of his nine lifetimes upon this earth – as a fat greedy god-cat in ancient India.

With the help of his little pal Sparky, the cutest cat in the universe, he must curb his appetites and bring home the top sausage known to Man – without eating it.

If he succeeds, he will win the heart of Madame Frou-Frou, the foxiest kitty on the block. He will also prove himself worthy of becoming the Buddha’s cat. If he fails, no good cat will ever go to Heaven.

Can Ginger overcome his attachment to sausages? Can he really be bothered to save feline-kind? After 2000 years and nine horribly mis-spent lives, it doesn’t seem likely…

A special bond is formed in the hospital between Danny "” a mischievous, curious and very bright ten-year-old who has lost a leg and an arm "” as well as his mother "” in a terrorist bombing "” and Autumn, a young journalist sent to interview him before his tenth operation.

Autumn wants to publish Danny’s story because she believes he is a hero, but Danny says he isn’t a hero at all; he was simply sitting in a restaurant waiting for his food when the terrorist came in and blew herself up.

During their conversation, Autumn tells Danny about her son and her life as a single mother. He misses his own mother, and harbors a suspicion that the journalist keeps coming to see him because she is interested in his newly widowed father.

Autumn thinks that Danny should have the tenth operation, which would basically be plastic surgery to remove the shrapnel from his face and minimize the scarring.

He does not want to forget: he would rather have a scarred face that will always remind him of his mother and all that he lost. And it would also be a reminder of the reality of life in Israel, a reality in which innocent children pay the price.

During the difficult days preceding the operation, still tormented by indecision and struggling against the pain, Danny undergoes a maturity process that will prepare him for his release from the hospital.

He learns not to be jealous of his sister, who survived the bombing with only a few scratches. He learns not to be afraid of the Arab nurse who wants to give him an injection.

He develops a new and different sense of humor and comes to realize that despite his grief and loss, life goes on and can be beautiful. He discovers that he can enjoy life if he only reaches out for it.

Roberta Paxton had a pleasant, challenging job, a man who loved her, and a host of good friends, but anxiety gnawed at her, at the back of her mind, at the edge of her vision, something was threatening her. . . something or someone. She tried to talk about it, but nobody wanted to listen, not even her thirteen-year-old sister, Tobie. Roberta had had these premonitions before, Tobie reminded her. She was just being paranoid.

But there was someone watching. Deep in the Tahoe forest, emerging only to stalk his prey, to watch and listen, to plot his final move, a vicious killer waited. Each glimpse of Roberta fired his need, but still he waited.

Until he saw Tobie. . .

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

This story is very different. Many angles and surprises along the way. Jake is very believeable and so is Robbi in a way. It has a twisty ending. Always good.

*******

This story keeps you on your toes, you think you know what is going to happen next but I had it totally wrong. I’m usually pretty good at this, but this book kept me guessing…very good read!

*******

If you have any kind of a life, don’t even think of reading any of Carol Davis Luce’s books. I guarantee that if you do your life will be put on hold until you are finished.

*******

Love this author and her books! Terrific story and great characters. Kept me reading thru the night. Another winner!! Can’t wait for the next book.

*******

This story is a real thriller with romance, adventure, and psychic phenomena all mixed together in a blend that works very well. I really enjoyed this story, one that I highly recommend as a great example of Carol’s work. She is an author that you should not miss!

In early twentieth century Paterson, New Jersey, dashing twenty-nine year old Abraham Bressler charms naïve nineteen year old Sarah Singer into marriage by making her believe he feels the same way she does about the new calling of a modern woman.

He then turns around and gives her little more respect than he would a servant, demanding she stay home to care for "his" house and "his" children.

Feeling betrayed Sarah defies him and joins women’s groups, actively participating in rallies for woman suffrage, child welfare and reproductive freedom.

For a while she succeeds in treading delicately between the demands of her husband and her desire to be an independent woman. Her balancing act falters when a strike shuts down Paterson's 300 silk mills.

With many friends working in the mills, Sarah is forced to choose sides in the battle between her Capitalist husband and his Socialist brother, a union leader who happens to be her best friend's husband.

“Mesmerizing and truly gripping….” -Jacque D.

Upon the frozen fields of Volnoss a strange rift has appeared. Eadon’s legions have gathered; the final invasion of Agora draws near.

Bound by his vow of fealty, Dirk Blackthorn finds himself at Eadon’s side. His first mission; kill the entire royal family of Eldalon, leave none of Whill’s kin alive.

Deep within the heart of the Mountains Ro’Sar, King Roakore prepares to travel to Elladrindellia and reunite the boy Tarren with Whill. He hopes also to have the ancient dwarven tome, The Book of Ky’Dren, translated.

And he trusts none but Whill to do it.

Aurora prepares to face the self-proclaimed Chief of the Seven, Icethorn of Dragon Tribe. She no longer feels Eadon’s power coursing through her; she begins to dare hope that she is free of the dark elf. But a pledge of fealty to Eadon is not made lightly.

Avriel remains trapped within the body of the white dragon. Neither the elder elves nor Whill with his great power can find a way to return her to her body.

With the racial memories of her dragon line clear in her mind, she begins to lose hold of her elven self.

Whill has found the ancient elven blade of legend, Adromida. Finally he has made it to Elladrindellia, and his training with the elves has begun.

Although he is safe for the time being from the reach of Eadon, a new threat arises that may prove his greatest challenge yet. He soon realizes that his greatest enemy may not be the dark elf lord, but he himself.

Janet Maple’s stellar career ended with a lay off and her boyfriend of almost five years told her that he wants to be just friends.

When she lands a job at one of New York's premier boutique investment firms, Janet begins to hope that her luck is finally turning for the better.

Not only is she happy with her new paycheck, but things also seem to be looking up on the personal front, as the company's handsome attorney expresses keen interest in Janet.

However, her euphoria is short-lived, as Janet soon discovers alarming facts about her new employer's business tactics. When her boss dismisses her suspicions as groundless, Janet finds herself confiding to a cute IT engineer, Dean Snider.

The closer she gets to Dean, the more Janet is tempted to break her rule of not dating co-workers, but what she doesn't realize is that everything she knows about Dean, including his occupation and even his name, is a lie.

Dennis Walker is a top-notch white collar crime investigator who will stop at nothing to put culprits away. When an opportunity for an undercover assignment at one of New York's premier boutique investment firms comes up, Dennis jumps at the chance, adopting a persona of geeky IT engineer, Dean Snider.

While he may be an ace at his job, years of experience fail him when Dennis meets Janet Maple and finds himself torn between his professional obligations and his personal desires.

Will he have to choose between his feelings and duty, or will he find a way to satisfy both?
