Today we’re talking to Mary Martinez, author of romances,
suspense, and women’s fictions. If you’re into suspense, murder, and romance,
you can’t miss out on reading her intriguing Becket Series. She’s also one of six authors
in a suspense boxed set, Dangerous Intent.
Take a moment and meet Mary in her garden:
Judy: Mary, what do you do to relax?
Mary: I
love to cook. As an author, I should say… I lose myself in my story. When I’m
writing, I do. However, when I get home from the day job (that I hope someday I
can replace with full time writing) I cook to relax and unwind. And dinner is
my reward.
Judy:
We wish you luck in reaching your writing goal. We’re always interested in what
your favorites are…
Mary:

Favorite smell:
Bacon sizzling on a campfire when camping. The only problem? I don’t like to
camp, give me a hotel!
Judy: What are you working on now?'
Mary: Illusion, Book IV of the Beckett Series
Judy:
Another Beckett series, great. I can’t wait. Please, tell us a about your main
character in your upcoming new release Illusion.
What drives and motivates her?
Mary: Reagan Beckett wants to prove to the family
that she belongs, that she fits in. The problem is, she’s never needed to. Her
family loves her unconditionally. Though there is something that tests that
bond.
Judy: What
does Reagan do for a living?
Mary: She is on a special task force to uncover
domestic terrorism.
Judy: Why the location and was it a real-life
connection?
Mary: All the Beckett siblings call their parents
The Elders. They grew up in Brooklyn, and they live and work in various places
of New York and Brooklyn. Except for Glenna. She owns a Vintage Shop in
Calistoga, California.
The
Beckett Series is a combination of six stories, one for each sibling.
Books
available now: Disappear, Innocent, Quiet
Books
coming soon: Illusion, Profit, and
Abandoned
I’m toying with the idea of seven short Christmas tales in 2016 a story
for each couple including The Elders
Judy:
Wow, you’re certainly a busy, energetic author. Do you have any special words
for your fans?
Mary: I have the best fans, friends, and family.
Without them I might as well give up writing. Other than, I really do enjoy the
craft of writing.
Judy: Where can my reader find you?
