Tyora, welcome
to SORMAG. Tell us about When Memories Fade.
Angel Roberts has embraced her
new faith, but past memories remain fresh. When her beloved grandmother suffers
a stroke, Angel sets out to investigate a mystery that has created family
tensions and lingered since she was five years old. What happened to her
mother?
She teams up with investigative
reporter, Wes Cade, a man obsessed with his
Alzheimer stricken grandfather's
remaining memories. As Angel lets her guard down with Wes, his determination to
get the story could push her to the edge. Is his interest in her or the story?
Angel must conquer her fears to
find the truth. Unknown to her someone close is working feverishly to stop
Angel from unlocking the truth of what really happened to her mother. Who will
win?
How did you come
up with ideas for When Memories Fade?
I knew after writing When Rain
Falls (Victory Gospel Series, Book 1), that some of the minor characters
seem to have stories that could be expanded. There was some type of tension
between Fredricka Roberts and her granddaughter, Angel Roberts in When Rain Falls,
but I wasn't sure what it was until I watched this true crime TV show about
missing persons. The storyline started to develop for me as I wondered how a
family could find closure when a loved one has gone missing for so many years.
Angel Roberts' mother has been
missing for twenty years. Now the same age as
her mother when she went missing,
Angel is determined to find answers.
Did you have to
do quite a bit of research for this book?
Yes, I did. I deal with some very
real issues pertaining to topics like search
prodecures for a missing persons,
the affects of Alzheimer's and Stroke/Heart
Disease. I learned a lot and
included these resources in the appendix of the novel.
What do you hope
readers will learn/discover from reading When Memories
Fade?
Woven into the mystery of this
missing persons story, I deal with forgiveness. It's not easy to move forward
when you have been betrayed or lied to. Most of us have had similar
circumstances which I hope readers will be able to relate to as they read When
Memories Fade. Only God can truly help heal wounds caused by others.
Do you have
upcoming events for readers? Please tell us.
Well, I currently participating
in my virtual book tour for When Memories Fade. The virtual tour
includes several book bloggers and online radio talk shows. I also will have a
Facebook Chat in May about When Memories Fade and the Victory Gospel
Series. I'm also doing some local events in South Carolina the next few months.
What's next for
you?
I have the first novella in a
series being released June 2013. Deep Fried Trouble is a cozy mystery
that centers around Eugeena Patterson, a retired school teacher and grandmother
turned amateur sleuth. It's a bit of a different read and very
humorous compared to the Victory
Gospel Series.
I'm also getting ready to write
the third and final book in the Victory Gospel Series.
I've been looking forward to
developing the story behind Lenora Freeman, the First Lady of Victory Gospel
Church.
