BOOK DESCRIPTION
Deep Connections
Just as love appears, so does the darkness. With her heart reaching out for one man, Brenna finds herself the target of an unknown stalker. Who is he? What does he want? How far will he go for her? Death is an option. Brenna discovers more than she bargained for and learns that the stalker will kill for her. It all comes down to decisions, and no matter what she chooses it will demand sacrifice and someone's blood.
EXCERPT
Deep Connections
Brenna's eyes fluttered open to see a blur of trees flying by. Her head pounded and her stomach began to roll from the pain she felt and the fast-changing scenery. A careful look at her surroundings told her she was in some older model car. She inhaled deeply to calm herself, but confusion set in as her senses were assaulted by unfamiliar smells. Her eyes widened in fright as terrifying memories began to flood her mind. Turning slowly, afraid of what she might see, she gazed at the man behind the wheel of the speeding car. She shivered when she saw he was just as repulsive as she remembered. Who was he and what did he want with her?
Sensing her stare, a pair of dark, soulless eyes turned towards her. A smile appeared on his unkempt face. "Well, well, sleeping beauty awakes." Brenna's stomach rolled again as she felt his eyes slide hungrily over her body. She pushed up against the door in an effort to put as much distance between the two of them as she could, but he shook his head in disapproval. "No need to be dramatic." He turned his attention back to the road. "We both know you won't jump out."
INTERVIEW WITH
Rebecca Graf
The Avid Reader: What inspired you to write Deep Connections?
Rebecca Graf: It was all a dream. I had a dream on night that was just a simple romance. I wrote the guts of that. From there the muse took over. : I never expected this paranormal aspect to appear.
The Avid Reader: When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?
Rebecca Graf: From the time I was a teenager, I felt an urge to write but figured you had to be gifted and singled out as a child. As I began to meet authors, I found out that wasn't the case.
The Avid Reader: What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?
Rebecca Graf: I don't think there was a time that I didn't have a book in my hand. My mother bought books everywhere we went and kept a box handy for us to read. I think we went through them dozens of times.
The Avid Reader: What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
Rebecca Graf: Mysteries, romance, suspense, fantasy, and adventure.
The Avid Reader: What is your favorite book?
Rebecca Graf: Tom Clancy's The Hunt for the Red October
The Avid Reader: You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?
Rebecca Graf: Tom Clancy. His work drew me out of my old genres of mystery and romance and opened up many others for me. I love spy novels.
The Avid Reader: If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go and why?
Rebecca Graf: I would go to Elizabethan England. To meet those that made history and wrote literature would thrill me. Then I could know for sure who Shakespeare really was. I'd be famous.
The Avid Reader: When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?
Rebecca Graf: I try to write only when the muse calls. Then the writing is easy. It is only when I try to force my writing that it is very difficult. In fact, I'm in the middle of a spell where I cannot seem to write a single word. I want to write, but when I try it is hard. Instead, I'll edit.
The Avid Reader: Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?
Rebecca Graf: We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. We got the Ragdoll cats (brothers) for me from a friend who was going to give them to the Humane Society. They decided they wanted my son as their person. It is funny as they groom him while we are watching movies. He belongs to them. We have a small black lab, Bug, that is my daughter's. She is such a loving dog. Then there is my little one, Mocha, who is always there for me and protects me. She is half Silky Terrier and half Bichon Frise.
The Avid Reader: What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?
Rebecca Graf: Ice cream preferably Culver's Chocolate Éclair Custard.
The Avid Reader: Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?
Rebecca Graf: Ignore everyone yet listen to them all. To those that tell you that trying to be an author is foolish, ignore them. To those that tell you how to improve your writing, listen. You have to learn when to listen and when to tune people out. Follow your heart. Write because you have to. Write what pleases you.
