#SaturdaySpotlight is on Virginia Vaughn & Protecting the Texas Witness!

Good Morning Friends,

Fall is in the air here in SW Louisiana with mornings in the 60's and afternoons in the low to mid 80's. Even the humidity is lower than normal which is always wonderful! Sure makes those football games a bit nicer. 😄

A lot is happening here on our blog and in our collaboration with Keuka Roots. Check out the details HERE. 

Enough small talk, let's get to our guest!

Virginia Vaughn is brand new to our blog, so let's give her a great, Big, SWLouisiana W-E-L-C-O-M-E

Thanks for joining us today, Virginia, please tell us about your latest release, Protecting the Texas Witness.

Great to be here, Pam. Thanks for inviting me!

Here's the Blurb: 

He has a witness to defend…

and their future hangs in the balance.

Deputy Drake Shaw rescues single mom Isabelle Morris from an assailant's attack, only to be mistaken for her late husband. After exposing the corruption at her health-care company, Isabelle fears danger has followed her and her daughter all the way to their remote cabin. Now Drake must keep them safe long enough for Isabelle to testify against her former boss. But when her child is taken, the stakes are raised. Can they survive to unravel the truth about the present…and the past?

And an Excerpt: 

Isabelle saw a light in the murky water, then a figure below. 

It was a man and he was intentionally pulling her under. 

He reached for her arm and yanked her lower, then grabbed her head and pushed her down, too strong for her to fight against, but that didn’t stop her from trying. She kicked and flailed at the figure. Finally, she managed to push to the surface, gasping for air the moment she broke through the waterline. 

“Help me,” she cried as the strong hands pulled her under once more. 

Then there was splashing in the water and moments later the man released her. She surfaced again and struggled to catch her breath and tread water, coughing and gasping as she did so until another pair of strong hands grabbed her and she flinched. 

“It’ okay. I’ve got you.” The voice was husky and weighted with worry, but she knew it instantly. 

Drake. 

At that moment, it didn’t matter whether or not he was her deceased husband. All that mattered was that he was there for her. 

Oh My.... Intriguing! Tell us why you wrote this story or what makes it special and the please tell us more about you and where we can find you and Protecting the Texas Witness...

I was so happy when it was time to write this story because it focuses on two tropes I love—amnesia

and back from the dead. Creating a story to explain how a man could be missing for ten years without anyone realizing it was a stretch but I think we pulled it off. I also love these characters to much. Isabelle reminded me a lot of myself—strong because, as a single mom, she had to be and also a bit of a control freak. Yet it was that strength and determination that made her fight to learn the truth about Deputy Drake Shaw. 

In the end, I hope the reader asks the question, not is he or isn’t he her husband, but will she or won’t she become his wife? 

You can find Protecting the Texas Witness at Amazon and on Kindle, B&N, directly through Harelequin or wherever Love Inspired titles can be purchased. 

As for me, I am a Publishers Weekly Bestselling author of over thirty inspirational romantic suspense novels. Blessed to come from a large, southern family, my fondest memories include listening to stories recounted by my family and friends around the large dinner table. I've been a lover of books even from a young age, devouring gothic romance novels and stories of romance, danger, and love. One day I decided to start writing them LOL! A former investigator for the State of Mississippi, I utilize my criminal justice background with my love of writing to transform words into powerful stories of romance and danger.
