My Review
Here is a very well-developed novel filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and featuring a fascinating variety of characters. This accomplished author has certainly crafted a captivating story that draws you in and holds you fast. Very well done! As their faith in Jesus is revived, the two main characters are filled with peace and confidence in facing together a hope-filled future. All in all, this one is a winner and I highly recommend it! Enjoy!

Story ideas invade my mind at the oddest moments.Click To Tweet One day as I sorted laundry, I thought how interesting it would be to begin a novel with: “I’d been in the Witness Protection Program for three years when my identity was compromised.”The idea bubbled and churned in my mind for a while. When I sat down to outline possible scenarios, the ideas hit me like an avalanche. Why was she in WITSEC? Who outed her? I scribbled as fast as I could—yes, I’m behind the times and use paper and pencil to plot my novels.
And so IRO was born. The International Retrieval Organization is my topnotch investigative service, with unlimited resources and experienced operatives.
Weep in the Night is the first novel in my Stolen Lives Trilogy. IRO agents are the heroes or heroines in the series. Which agent will save the day?
