AN INTERVIEW WITH HARPER FROM AUTHOR KAREN CHARLES' THRILLER, FATEFUL CONNECTIONS

Today we sit down with Harper from author Karen Charles’ thriller, Fateful Connections.

 

What was your life like before your author started pulling your strings?  

Before my author started pulling my strings, life was pretty predictable, stable, and secure.  It was demanding but consistent.

 

What’s the one trait you like most about yourself?  

I am trustworthy, dependable, and honest.

 

What do you like least about yourself?  

The trait I like the least about myself is that I have a tendency to work too many hours.

 

What is the strangest thing your author has had you do or had happen to you?  

The strangest thing my author had me involved in was a major car accident.  I was hanging upside down in my seatbelt in an overturned car, unable to get out.

 

Do you argue with your author? If so, what do you argue about?  

I am a problem solver so once-in-a-while I would argue with the author about how to overcome obstacles.

 

What is your greatest fear?  

My greatest fear is a car accident with a fire.

 

What makes you happy?  

What makes me happy is a peaceful home with someone I love.

 

If you could rewrite a part of your story, what would it be? Why?  

If I could rewrite a part of the story, it would be the four of us traveling home safely without Oscar terrorizing us. It gives me nightmares.

 

Of the other characters in your book, which one bugs you the most? Why?  

The character in the book who bugs me the most is Ethan.  To him everything is black and white, whereas to me, life is full of uncertain gray areas.

 

Of the other characters in your book, which one would you love to trade places with? Why?  

Of all the other characters in the book, I would love to trade places with Anna. She has a wonderful life on the ranch with so much happening, great amenities, fun entertaining guests, and a chef.

 

Tell us a little something about your author. Where can readers find her website/blog?  

My author has great depth and insight in her writing, having lived in other cultures and traveled a lot.  She is a global citizen with a world view, respecting, understanding, and celebrating the differences in people, realizing we are all humans.  Find more about her at her website.

 

What's next for you?  

I hope to be a character in her next thriller.

 

Fateful Connections

Fateful Connections tells the story of four people brought together by the tragic events of 9/11 in the United States. These four individuals were attending a conference in Seattle, Washington, and found it nearly impossible to make it back to their homes, which were scattered across the country. They decide to rent a car and drive together, as they cannot get any flights home. As rental cars are also impossible to come upon, they find a friend who has access to a repossessed car, which he is willing to rent out. Unbeknownst to the friends, the rightful owner of the car wants his car back, and as they find out, hidden inside the car are drugs and guns. What ensues is a dangerous journey which impacts the four friends’ lives forever. The story follows them on their harrowing journey home, then one and two years later as they meet up for an annual reunion.

9/11 TRIBUTE IN LIGHT

photo by Jackie
Today is the fourteenth anniversary of 9/11. This evening as the sky darkens, two vertical beams of light, representing the Twin Towers, will fill the sky over lower Manhattan in remembrance of that fateful day.

The Tribute in Light is an art installation that first occurred on the six-month anniversary of September 11th and has been repeated on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks every year since.

Eighty-eight searchlights are placed next to the site where the towers once stood to simulate the buildings that are no more.

This evening as we stare at those columns of light, we’ll remember the lives lost that day and give thanks to the brave men and women of this country who everyday dedicate their lives to keeping us safe.
