Case File Phantom

by Dana Ford

GENRE: Mystery Fiction

BLURB:

In this mystery fiction novel, Georgia Richards lost hope of ever seeing her husband again since he disappeared over a year ago.  On a Saturday afternoon, she thought she saw him at a play; on stage at the Oaksdale Playhouse.  But, Georgia didn’t have the courage to find out if it was really him.  Constance McCauley was empathetic to Georgia’s faint of heart and decided to offer her investigation services to find the true identity of this mysterious man.  Would Constance be able to track down Georgia’s estranged husband?  If he was found, why had he been missing for over a year?  As Constance pursued this case with a combination of faith and persistence, she witnessed the power of forgiveness unfold before her eyes.

Excerpt:

It was beautiful inside.  The space quaint, low lighting, enough ambience to make a lucrative business deal or extend a marriage proposal.   Thanks to Troy making reservations, we were seated right away in a cozy booth for two.  Sean placed a marketing folder on the table next to his place setting.  “I’m looking forward to talking about what we can do for your company.”  He said.  His eyes were naturally a darker brown in this low lighting.  I smiled, thankful for the distraction of the waiter.

“Would you care for some wine?” The waiter asked pleasantly.

“None for me, thank you.”  I replied. 

“I’ll take a glass of your best red wine.” Sean responded. 

“Very good sir.” 

Sean jumped right in.  “Did Alex talk to you about all of our services or did he just focus on one aspect of what we do, like print advertising?”

“Well, I actually did not tell you the whole truth about Alex and I.” 

Sean perked up to listen.

“I do own a private investigation firm, but I never met Alex through your company.”  The waiter returned with Sean’s glass of wine and sparkling water for me.  We both ordered their chef’s special pasta with a salad. 

“Oh.”  Sean thought for a moment.

“But, tell me.  What services do you have?”  I asked.  I actually did want to know.

Until dinner arrived, Sean presented all of the details that were included in the marketing folder that he had brought.  He pitched ways to expose my business from print advertising, to social media strategies.  “Are you interested in pursuing any of these marketing approaches?”  He asked, knowing that he was one of the best salesmen on the Brown & Edwards sales team. 

Taking a look over all of the amazing food that was just placed on our table, I also considered the marketing services that Sean had presented.  “Let me think about it.”  I responded.

 

“You had the same hesitation when we met the other day.  What exactly are you thinking about?”  He returned like a true salesman.

Interview with Dana Ford

What inspired you to write Case File Phantom? 

For the past 10-years I have been having dreams about the plots within the C. McCauley Case Files.  I knew I wanted to write these novels, and finally put pen to paper and published the first of this series. 

Can you tell us a little bit about the next books in Case File Phantom or what you have planned for the future?

The next novel is another case file.  The plot for this one is introduced in the last chapter of Case File Phantom.


Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Case File Phantom?

Constance McCauley is the heroine.  She is smart, curious, and compassionate.  Georgia is a woman with a few skeletons in her closet.  Michael Woods is an all around good guy, the one that we all know and love.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorites.  I admire his writing as it touches the depths of our humanity and then digs deep.

If you could time-travel would you travel to the future or the past? Where would you like to go and why would you like to visit this particular time period?

I would travel to the future hoping to see that we have advanced as a society similar to the technology and culture of Star Trek the Next Generation.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

I have no pets.  No time to give them the love that they deserve.
