Dragon My Feet. Native American pop singer/songwriter Katina Salvo’s career is about to take off. There’s one problem: someone wants to kill her. Katina and her bodyguard, Deputy Steven Hawk, are attacked during an altercation at her first live concert. Could the assailant be a mysterious, dangerous man from her youth? Or her estranged father recently released from prison for killing her mother? Performed against the backdrop of the picturesque Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, and the mysterious Taos Pueblo Indian reservation, SNARE is a thriller fans of Tony Hillerman will appreciate. SNARE is Book Two of the Steven Hawk/Inola Walela thriller series. Excerpt. Katina nodded, thinking about the possibilities. She took up the moccasin Sylvie had been working on and ran a finger over the colorful beads. She knew her aunt held confessions from innumerable Pueblo people who had confided in her over the years, many of them long dead, their confidences still locked in Sylvie’s reverence. Katina cursed the stubborn pride that always steered her aunt’s conscience. All she could do was wait and hope Sylvie would reveal the hidden mysteries of Taima and her mother. She knew she needed to be cautious as to how to begin, but instead, she blurted, “When did you last see Taima?” Sylvie stubbed out the cigarette, her eyes on the winking red coal extinguishing in the saucer. “Friday night.” The ringing grew louder in Katina’s ears. Her eyes scanned the floor as she whispered, “That can’t be.” Sylvie motioned her head toward the front room, to the closed front door. “He was standing in the field, across the way. Just before sundown.” The vision of Taima in the front row of the theatre entered Katina’s mind. “But he was at the theatre. I saw him in the wings, then during the concert. He’s the one who attacked Hawk.” “That’s not true. Can’t be true.” Leaning in close, Katina took Sylvie’s hand. “It is. You’re mistaken about seeing him. It was probably one of the Gomez brothers. They look a lot like him.” “I know my husband, Katina.” Sylvie ripped her hand away. “It was him, Sylvie. I smelled the campfire smoke in his hair and the leather of his boots as he stood over me with a knife in his hand dripping with Hawk’s blood.” “I can’t . . . won’t believe that.” “Hawk and I are going to find out the truth.” “So that’s why you’ve brought him here.” Katina held Sylvie’s anxious gaze, but didn’t speak. “Most say Taima’s topepe . But . . .” Sylvie’s words, barely above a whisper, trailed off. “He’s more than a troublemaker, Auntie. He’s a plague on the Pueblo. Cutting down viable trees instead of using fallen ones to make his precious drums. Hunting whenever and wherever he damned well pleases.” Katina leaned forward to study Sylvie who kept her eyes on the coffee mug. “You still love him, don’t you?” Sylvie didn’t meet Katina’s eyes and she knew the truth. “He blames me for my mother’s death. How can you love someone who hates me so much?” “That was a long time ago, Kat. You don’t know him, now.” Katina rose from the chair. “Oh, I know him. He’s just like my father. Both of them will stop at nothing to destroy me. If not my body, my soul.” Katina bent over to kiss the top of Sylvie’s head. Katina closed her eyes, inhaling the scent of sage shampoo coming from her aunt’s hair. Resting her cheek on Sylvie’s shiny crown, she said, “If anything happens to me while I’m here, I won’t stand in Hawk’s way to make things right.” Katina knelt down and with her fingertips, lifted Sylvie’s chin upward to meet her aunt’s dark eyes. “You can tell Taima that the next time you see him standing in the field, across the way.” Deborah J Ledford’s latest suspense thriller SNARE received the nomination for The Hillerman Sky Award.

An altercation occurs during her concert and peril ensues. Here’s a brief synopsis: One rock star sensation. Two men from her past want her dead. Three others will risk everything to keep her safe. All are in peril. Who will be caught in a trap? SNARE : Revenge with a beat. Who’s your favorite character in it? Although I love my main character, Deputy Steven Hawk, and rock star Katina Salvo was a blast to write, my favorite character is Katina’s Aunt Sylvie. I’m part Eastern Band Cherokee and the Native American elements in all of my works are very important to me. I spent a lot of time on the Taos Pueblo Indian reservation in New Mexico and the people of the pueblo continue to captivate me. What projects are you currently working on? Book three of my Steven Hawk/Inola Walela thriller series is finished. Fingers are crossed that this novel will be released by year’s end. I’ve started a new multi-cultural thriller series that takes place entirely in Taos, NM. I’m also nearing mid-point on a Young Adult mystery that I’m very excited about. Do you sleep in or get up early? My background is in the theatre, so I prefer to stay up very late. Which do you use most for writing on, laptop or desktop? I only use a laptop. I type quite fast so have worn out a lot of keyboards. My latest is an Acer which I have hooked up to a 22” monitor and full size keyboard. I love the set up! Where and when do you prefer to do your writing? My desk is actually a dining room table. This allows me a lot of space to spread out my research materials and tabletop speakers so I can enjoy great music while I write. I’m also a professional content editor so I work on clients’ manuscripts early in the morning, and catch up on the necessary correspondences and a bit of social networking. I write in the afternoon—ideally after a refreshing nap. I’ve found that my words are best composed while I’m nearly comatose. What are your thoughts on receiving book reviews – the good and the bad? I’ve been very fortunate that SNARE has received stellar reviews. I’m so grateful for the reviewers who support independently published authors —without them helping to spread the word about our books we would have a very limited readership. What’s your favorite quote? “A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities.” From the stage play Sunday in the Park with George by Stephen Sondheim. List 3 books you’ve just recently read and would recommend? Iron House by John Hart—his Last Child remains one of my favorite books of all time. You’re Next by Gregg Hurwitz. Fallen by Karin Slaughter. If your book was made into a TV series or Movie, what actors would you like to see playing your characters? Erin Daniels would be the perfect Katina Salvo—she’s not Native American but she has the “look” I imagined when creating this character. Angie Harmon as Aunt Sylvie—Angie is part Native American and I love her speaking voice. I’ve always envisioned Henry Simmons ( NYPD Blue ) as my lead character in the series, Deputy Steven Hawk. If you were to attend a St. Patrick’s Day Party, which one thing would you never leave behind and why? A green derby – What’s not to love about a green hat? Wher e can your readers stalk you?
