Emma Winters Takes Over The Suspense Sisters

 Good morning! Let me introduce myself. I'm Ranger Emma Winters, and I'm doing a takeover of Patricia Bradley's blog today. 

hehehe

I mean, it's only fair. She writes about me...and she brought Sam Ryker back to Natchez, so I have a bone to pick with her. So today, I'm going to interview her! See how she likes it.

Emma: Okay, Patricia, just why did you bring Sam back to Natchez? 

Patricia: You're not happy that I brought him back?

Emma: You're not supposed to answer a question with a question.

Patricia:  Why not? That's what you do when I interview you. And let's not forget how you quit talking to me about halfway through the book!

Emma: You were trying to make me do something I didn't want to do.

Patricia: You could have told me without making me figure it out for myself. How was I to know you wanted to leave Natchez. But aren't you glad now you didn't?

Emma: Maybe. I want to know--do you have trouble trusting other people? Is that why I don't trust anyone? Are you projecting your insecurities on me?

Patricia: Moi? I don't have trouble trusting others until they give me a reason. What's your excuse?

Emma: Everyone I've ever trusted left me. Ryan, then my mother, then Sam...I can't be hurt if I don't open myself up to people.

Patricia: You know what they say--give your characters obstacles, then up the stakes. No one likes a happy character.

Emma: You certainly know how to do that.

Patricia: Well, thank you...I think. Back to Sam. I don't know why you're so afraid of him. He was always Johnny-on-the-spot when you needed him.

Emma, smiling a little: He was, wasn't he. I really was afraid my stalker would hurt him. 

Patricia:  What was it like, having a stalker?

Emma: Scary. And I was afraid for Sam. Wait, I'm the one asking the questions. You never told me why you brought Sam back to Natchez.

Patricia: One reason was his sister and nephew needed him. 

Emma: Jace does need him. The kid is a sweetheart. Can't say the same for his mom, though.

Patrica: You two did have some problems, didn't you?

Emma, turning to you readers. "See, she can't help herself. To learn more about Sam and me, be sure to read Obsession. It's the second book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series! And if I'm not mistaken, Patricia Bradley is giving away a copy of Obsession to someone who leaves a comment. Of course, Random dot Org will choose, so be sure to leave your contact information!

Natchez Trace Ranger and historian Emma Winters hoped never to see Sam Ryker again after she broke off her engagement to him. But when shots are fired at her at a historical landmark just off the Natchez Trace, she's forced to work alongside Sam as the Natchez Trace law enforcement district ranger in the ensuing investigation. To complicate matters, Emma has acquired a delusional secret admirer who is determined to have her as his own. Sam is merely an obstruction, one which must be removed.

Sam knows that he has failed Emma in the past and he doesn't intend to let her down again. Especially since her life is on the line. As the threads of the investigation cross and tangle with their own personal history, Sam and Emma have a chance to discover the truth, not only about the victim but about what went wrong in their relationship.

I always wanted to be a NPS park ranger. That didn't happen, but I can write about being one! To be entered in the drawing, leave a comment answering if you could choose your job, what would it be?
