Please
give a warm welcome to Kendra Spark from
Albatross by S.
Peters-Davis today as we sit down and see what makes her tick.
What’s your favorite thing to do
when you’re not saving (the world, clients, your mate)?
I enjoy nature by hiking or kayaking. A lot of my
novels include wooded or water settings that I’ve experienced.
What is it about your love interest,
Derek Knight, that makes you crazy in a good way?
His boyish charm, along with his he-man ability
to throw himself in front of the wolves to save those around him. He’s got a
huge heart for those he cares about but then unleashes the crackin’ in him for
those who create death and destruction.
Do you sometimes want to strangle
your writer? Thrash her to within an inch of her life? Make her do the stupid
crap she makes you do?
I haven’t had to deal with any thrashing desires,
in fact, being an author myself, I find Ms. Peters-Davis resonates deeply with
voice and style like she can read my mind, and I can read hers. I believe we
are kindred spirits…she gets me:)
Favorite food?
Something I’ve yet to eat in any of my story time
– homemade carrot cake:) But I do love the burgers and fries from Granny’s
Homemade Vittles;)
Tell me a little bit about your
world. What are your greatest challenges in that world?
I’m more of a rural fan, hate crowds, traffic,
and noisy city streets, which Washington, D.C. thrives on in all accounts.
Thankfully, I’ve moved into a small cabin tucked into the forest behind Derek’s
home. It’s the perfect retreat away from the city. It gives me breathing room
and works as a place to recharge;)
Describe yourself in four words.
Ghost communicator, novelist, romantic
What do you do for a living?
Write suspense-mystery romance novels.
What do you fear the most?
Losing my best friend forever…Jenna. Since she
died in a terrible accident, her spirit has been tethered to me on the earth
plane, but the supernatural has used her as leverage to get to me. If I were to
lose her in that way…*shakes head* Let’s just say, I’m not sure what I
would do without her.
Genre: Suspense-supernatural
romance
Kendra Spark, Derek Knight, and
“ghosty” Jenna Powers, members of an FBI special task force, investigate a
cold-case and end up facing the ultimate psychopaths, a highly-accredited
police director gone crime lord and a beautiful malevolent “albatross of a
spirit.” Both want Kendra for her unique abilities but might settle for Jenna
instead.
Derek stops at nothing to keep
Kendra and Jenna safe, but what if the worst-case
scenario happens? An unstoppable villain and villainess of the dark
plane picks the earth plane as their stomping ground?

Excerpt: Moment between Kendra and her
literary agent Clara
“You’re not going to uphold your contract are you.” Moisture
gathered in Clara’s sea green eyes as she stared into the woods. One dribbled
down her cheek, making me feel like a mountain-sized pile of poop.
Grandma Ellie’s words chimed through my head, giving me some
semblance of peace and strength. “You’re
on the right path, Kendra. Your heart just told you so.” I recalled the
beautiful soul orbs and the Guardians collecting them to deliver, either to
Heaven or to the soul’s rightful owner, those belonging to the trafficked
teens’ that the Soul-Sucker had stolen for sustenance. I grabbed Clara’s hand
and squeezed. “I don’t expect you to understand, but I’m hoping you’ll resonate
with my reasoning for the change of heart.”
“How can you assist in an FBI case, Kendra? Honestly. You’re
an author. A mystery and suspense writer of fiction, and that’s what you do
well…write fiction.” Clara shook her head and again stared out the window
screen without glancing my way. “Your friend died. I don’t understand why you
want to stay?” She sighed. “Is it for Derek? Have you developed a relationship with
him since you’ve been in D.C.?” Her gaze slid to my face, an eyebrow arched,
and she said, “You have the potential to make more money with this publishing
company than you’ve made adding the sales royalties from all the books you’ve
written so far. It’s this kind of success every author dreams of accomplishing,
making big money. You’ve established your fan base of readers, what more could
you possibly want? You love what you do already, why change that?”
“I do love writing, but that’s not my only ability.” I met her gaze. “I can see and communicate with
spirits, the ghosts of people who have died. Since I became old enough to walk,
I’ve had that ‘gift’ as my Grandmother Ellie used to call it. I couldn’t tell
if my friends were alive or dead…I didn’t realize there was a difference until
I was much older. People made fun of me for talking to air, like I was a
paranoid schizophrenic because they couldn’t see the spirit standing beside
me.” A few of those memories snapped through my brain, and I realized this
could be another one of those times with Clara.
