Author Interview & Blog Only Giveaway - Saving Mercy by Abbie Roads

Saving Mercy

By Abbie Roads

First in a chilling new paranormal romantic suspense series from award-winning author Abbie Roads 

He’s found her at last

Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol linking the crime to his own horrific past—and only one woman could know what it means.  

Only to lose her to a nightmare

Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful—and in terrible danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he’s the one who can save her. He also knows he’s beyond redemption. But the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love is the antidote for blood—but is their bond strong enough to overcome the evil that stalks them?

Talking with Abbie Roads! 

When did you decide to become a writer? Why? 

In ’09 I reached a crossroads in my life. I realized I wasn’t happy and yet I had every reason to be happy. I had a great husband, a great house, two wonderful dogs, a job I loved. But something was missing. That missing piece was writing. I’d wanted to be a writer when I was a little kid, but too many things at the time made me believe I couldn’t do it.  

It wasn’t until ’09 that I got the courage to try. And believe me it took courage. I had no idea how to write a book. I mean no idea. I had to learn everything from the ground up. 

I’ve been so much happier finally following my dream. 

What are some of your favorite authors/books? 

Stephen King. He’s the master at it all. 

Thomas Harris –Author of the Hannibal Lecter series. I love these books because he takes such ugly subject matter and writes it using beautiful words.  

Tahereh Mafi—The Shatter Me Series. These are YA books. The series starts with Juliette being so damaged, yet she ultimately finds her power and triumphs. 

J. R. Ward—The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. If you love a good tormented alpha male—these are the books for you. They’re heavy in male point-of-view. All the brothers have a special place in my heart, but especially Wrath, Rhage, and Zsadist. 

Have you written a book where the ending surprised you? 

No… I write romance, so no matter what happens to my characters—terrible, horrible, awful things—I know I’m going to give them a happily-ever-after.  

Can readers find you at any Author/Reader conventions in the near future?

What is your favorite scene in your new release? 

My favorite scene is one I can’t talk about because I don’t want to give anything away! But it’s toward the end of the book and is the most powerful moment for Cain—the hero. If you’ve read the book you know what I’m talking about. <wink>
