LOVE, MURDER, AND POLITICAL MAYHEM by Brenda Whiteside



Penny Sparks has secrets that can ruin a presidential contender, got her family murdered…and mark her as the next hit.

Inspiration comes in all forms to authors. Considering the current political unrest in the U.S., I’d like to claim my last release was a result of taking the strife and turning it into an entertaining read. But I cannot tell a lie. The story for this book came to me before the antics of the last election. It just happens to have a conniving politician and a crooked FBI Special Agent. The timing is rather humorous.

The Power of Love and Murder is the fourth book in my Love and Murder Series. Penny had a walk on part in book one, The Art of Love and Murder. She’s a pixie of a woman. In book one, Lacy dubbed her the Black Fairy for her Goth style and the fact she worked in a haunted hotel. Her story begged to be told. The political bad guys have depth, and the hero is a drug-recovering rock star. I had fun writing it.

THE POWER OF LOVE AND MURDER

For thirteen years, Penny Sparks has managed to hide from the political powers who murdered her family. When she unwittingly exposes her true identity, not only is she marked for death, but the people closest to her risk meeting the same fate.

Jake Winters is out of rehab and coming to grips with his demons. When he meets his sister’s roommate, Jake believes Penny might be that someone who can help him find life after rock star status…until her secrets blow up his world.

With a government agent turned hit man closing in on her, Penny and Jake race to expose the presidential contender behind the murders of her family. Even if they win the race with death, the murder that stands between them could end their hope for a new life.

Sounds like a fantastic story! I love how you describe the heroine as "a pixie of a woman" with a Goth style. :-) Wishing you much success with the new book and the series.

Brenda, your book sounds really interesting. The excerpt was! Since I once long ago worked with a politician, I could easily identify with the heroine. Here's to lots of sales!

Marilyn Meredith is a friend of mine here in SLO county. You're on a good blog, here. Every day the politics get weirder. Do you think fiction is going to take a beating because of present issues. Geesh, most of this stuff we'd be hard pressed to make up!

You are right Rolynn. If I wrote it no one would believe it.

How ironic that your story foretold (at least part of) the future. Ironic, and maybe a little scary. Perhaps you've just discovered a new superpower. Not sure if that would be a good thing, or not. :-p

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
