Colton 911: Family Under Fire
An unexpected family
A once-in-a-lifetime reunion in danger…
After a bitter breakup, FBI agent Everett Colton never expected to see his ex-girlfriend, Alyssa Bartholomew, again. Suddenly, tragedy reunites them—and makes them guardians of an orphaned baby girl. Everett suspects that her parents’ deaths were anything but innocent. When his instinct for danger proves correct, it’s his job to protect the child he’s grown to love…and the woman he never forgot.

Does your family support your career as a writer?
100%. My family are amazing and they're very proud of what I've achieved. My mum (who is 84), in particular, tells everyone she meets about "my daughter, the author"!I always knew I wanted to write, but I never had the confidence to do it as a career. After trying a number of different things, I went into teaching (which was rewarding, and I don't regret it). Looking back, I wish I'd had the courage to say, right from the start "I want to be a writer".
How long on average does it take you to write a book?
It varies, but generally it's three to four months. I suppose that doesn't take into account "thinking time". In many ways, the book is already written in my head before I even type the first word.
