Undercurrents of Betrayal follows the law enforcement team of Stanton Falls as they uncover the sister forces that have haunted the town’s history following the discovery of skeletal remains from fifty years ago. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The inspiration for the setup of “Undercurrents of Betrayal” came from my fascination with the hidden histories and secrets that small towns often harbor. I wanted to explore how long-buried truths can resurface and disrupt the present, compelling characters to confront their pasts. The idea of skeletal remains from fifty years ago allowed me to dive deep into the town’s history and weave a tale that connects the past and present in intriguing ways. Finding Evelyn was important to me since she was the founder of Stanton Falls. This connection adds a layer of intrigue and personal significance to the story, making the discovery even more impactful.

Was there a reason why you chose this location as the backdrop for your story?

Stanton Falls is a fictional place, but it’s inspired by the quaint yet mysterious small towns I’ve come across. The picturesque yet eerie setting provided the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama and suspense. I wanted a location that felt both familiar and unsettling, where every corner could hold a secret, and Stanton Falls fit that vision perfectly.

What was one of the hardest parts of Undercurrents of Betrayal for you to write?

One of the hardest parts to write was the emotional depth of the characters as they faced their darkest fears and secrets. Balancing the suspense and the emotional arcs to ensure readers stayed engaged while also feeling deeply connected to the characters was challenging. Ensuring each character’s journey felt authentic and impactful required a lot of introspection and fine-tuning.

Where do you see your characters after the book ends?

 I think I will write another trilogy, this time facing more personal challenges, exploring new horizons and seeking a balance between duty and personal fulfillment.
