A little Q&A with author Catherine L. Byrne
If you could time travel
would you visit the past or the future?
·
The past. I want to
know: Were people like us? Did they think the same and worry about the same
things? What actually happened at key moments in history e.g. the Battle of
Hastings? I’m not that interested in the future, it might never happen.

When
down-on-his-luck minder Chase takes on a job for a fading gangster, the job and
his charge both turn out to be very different to what he expected. Someone is
trying to sabotage the mobster’s business and doesn’t care who they hurt in the
process. Soon Chase finds himself on the run with his charge, trying to carry
out a friend’s last wishes before their pursuers catch up with them.
Excerpt:
They sneaked down the stairs and along the corridor like ghosts, the voices of the killers shouting in the distance. Chase went first and they reached the long, white kitchen. The spare sets of car keys were in a box by the back door so people could take or return them on the way out. He had just grabbed one when Jody clutched his arm.
They sneaked down the stairs and along the corridor like ghosts, the voices of the killers shouting in the distance. Chase went first and they reached the long, white kitchen. The spare sets of car keys were in a box by the back door so people could take or return them on the way out. He had just grabbed one when Jody clutched his arm.
“I have to go
back for my phone,” he hissed.
“Really? You
little—” But Jody had a point. They needed phones to communicate. “I’ll come
with you. Just a sec.” He pointed the key through the window blinds at the
parked cars lining the driveway by the garage and the red Ferrari 458 flashed
its lights. “Nice.”
“Come on.” Jody
pulled his arm again and they crept out of the kitchen towards the stairs and
Jody’s bedroom.
They reached
Jody’s room and it only took him a few minutes to locate the phone and shove it
in his pocket. Then Chase remembered something.
“Quick, come
with me.” He steered Jody into Tony’s office, unlocked the safe, took out
stacks of notes and put them in his rucksack.
“What are you
doing?” Jody glared at him. “Stealing?”
Chase pushed him
against the wall—no time for pleasantries. “Listen, we’ve got to go or they’ll
kill us too,” he snarled in Jody’s face. “Understand? Come with me or I’ll
leave you to them.”
Jody gulped and
nodded, his brown eyes wide.
“Good.” Chase
let him go and dragged him out of the office and down the stairs.

About the author:
Catherine L
Byrne writes stories about relationships which push buttons and provoke
reactions from readers. She writes about both gay and straight relationships,
depending on which characters in her books shout the loudest to have their
stories told.
An inquisitive
author, she prefers writing about different situations in each book rather than
writing a series about the same one—her stories range from 10th century Viking
Britain, to modern educational settings and from mystery to romance.
As she was
born and bred in England and lives there with her family, this infuses her
books with a distinctly English tone. She has been writing since as long as she
can remember and Extasy Books have published her novels since 2014.
