Romantic Suspense, three flames
An Interview with Seelie Kay:
Q.
Why do you write romance?
Q.
Do you prefer a certain type of romantic hero?
I adore
smart, dashing gentlemen who aren’t afraid to live on the edge. They can be a
bad boy, a billionaire, a prince, or a secret agent. That hint of danger just
hooks me! However, I also love strong, independent women who aren’t afraid to
fight for what they want, even love.
Q.
Why did you write “Infamy?”
The
characters featured in this story—Sheikh Harun Ali and his wife, Marianne
Benson--are both lawyers who focus on international law and their practice is
devoted to compensating the victims of terrorism. So I was looking for a new
hook, something on the horizon that could pose a serious threat to the world
and in particular, the United States. I found it in an article on advances in
“cloaking” technology or making planes disappear. For years, we have had
stealth planes that do not appear on radar, but can be seen in the air if
anyone is looking. I wanted to take that a step further: What if someone
created a means to actually cloak a plane and hide it from everyone’s view?
What if that technology fell into the hands of terrorists? And “Infamy” was born.
Q.
How does your former profession as a lawyer impact your writing?
After
30 years, the law and the legal world are so firmly embedded in my brain that I
can’t flush them out. That has become the lens through which I view the world
and that naturally guides my characters and plots. Little peculiarities that I
have witnessed in lawyers and the law always work their way into my stories.
Q.
Any plans to write outside the romance genre completely?
Actually,
I ghostwrite non-fiction for other professionals—doctors, lawyers, financial
gurus—so I dip my toes into a lot of different genres. However, I have been
itching to write a book about a relative who founded a religious cult. I
researched it for years and found a lot of information that had been buried. I
have a pile of paper a foot high. Someday, I need to go through it carefully
and start writing. I have the interest, just not the time.
Blurb:
Infamy. An
evil or wicked act. Terrorists bent on revenge have found a way to make planes disappear
from the sky, without a trace. And when one winds up buried in a Wisconsin
cornfield, it’s a race against time to rescue the passengers from certain
death.
When international law
attorney Sheikh Harun Ali is lured to the Amazon and warned of a frightening
plot against the United States, he and his wife, Marianne Benson, enlist the
assistance of their neighbors, covert agent Cade Matthews and his wife,
Constitutional Law Professor Janet MacLachlan. Ultimately, these feisty lawyers
are pushed to the wall, desperate to find a plane that has been buried in an
unknown cornfield, the passengers still on board. The terrorists’ hatred for
the Alis is absolute—the Alis once left their organization bankrupt and
broken—but they hate America more. And their fiendish games are just beginning.
They are seeking a much bigger prize, one that could destroy a nation and
possibly the world. An act that will live in infamy.
Excerpt:
Cade grasped his
water bottle with both hands. “Before his brother died, he said eight words.”
Harun
nodded. “They are going to make American
planes disappear.”
Dianna’s
eyes grew wide.
Anders rubbed a
hand over his face, then through his long dark hair. His deep green eyes stared
up at the ceiling of the plane. “Fucking hell. Nine-eleven all over again.”
“That is our
fear,” Harun said. “However, so many precautionary measures are in place in
this country, simply hijacking planes and flying them into buildings is no
longer easy. They must have a different plan.”
Cade emitted a
heavy sigh. “And that is what we need to figure out. What exactly do those
eight words mean? For example, he did not specify that the planes would
disappear in America, which could mean that they will disappear abroad or over
oceans.”
Anders sat up
straight. “And disappear could mean many things. Crash. Hijack. Pull a
Malaysia. How many ways can you make a plane disappear?”
