Hello, Daniel, and welcome to Ravencraft’s
Romance Realm, it’s great to have you as our featured story-star from Another
Way to Die, a murder-suspense mystery romance by Amy McCorkle.
I’m Kay Dee…the interviewer on
behalf of RRR and have a few questions I’d love to ask. I read your story and WOW,
Daniel, talk about action-packed and full of obstacles. I ripped through your
twist-of-fate kind of story in nothing flat.
I’ve been looking forward to
spending some time with you and hearing the story behind the story…so to speak.
Always more to the story, right? Things, Amy wouldn’t share…but you might.
So…let’s get started…
KDR ~ Daniel,
what exactly do you do for a living, and if you can share this…who do you work
for? (I know…can’t help it, I’m nosey).
DL ~ I don’t work for
anyone now, I just live to protect my family.
KDR ~ Well,
I know you’ve saved Almira (Ally) a couple of times at least…possibly more
*smile*…can you share a little about Ally?
DL ~ She’s the bravest
person I know, and she certainly deserves better than me. Meeting her was a
happy accident. I can only hope I prove myself worthy of her as time goes by.
KDR ~ When and
why did you first meet her?
DL ~ I met her when her
father presented her to me like some sort of sacrificial lamb. Instead of doing
what her father hoped I chose to help her instead of harming her.
KDR ~ Can
you give us a little insight into your half-brother, Luke? Good guy OR bad guy
(if you can share)?
DL ~ Luke is a good guy,
but he’s more of a brain than a physical guy.
KDR ~ Who is
Jack…and how did you and he first meet?
DL ~ Jack is Almira’s
excuse for a father. And that’s all I want to say about him.
KDR ~ It
sounds like Ally and you had a hell of a similar childhood. Is there anything
you’d want to share about it?
DL ~ No.
KDR ~ I
understand…sorry for prying.
I loved Amy’s rendition of your story…how well did she do
covering all bases? You and Ally had an action packed roller-coaster ride of
events… was it all pretty true to life?
DL ~ Amy treated our
story with a great deal of respect. She could have sensationalized things but
she stuck pretty much to the way things went down.
KDR ~ What’s
up next for you, Daniel? Would you like to add anything about Another
Way to Die?
DL ~ Just a quiet life
with Almira and our son.
Another
Way to Die
Author: Amy
McCorkle
Genre: Murder
Mystery Suspense Romance
Blurb:
Almira Sands has been running
all her life from her abusive father Jack. She knows one day the running will
end and only she or her father will be left standing. What she doesn’t expect
is to be kidnapped by Daniel Logan.
Daniel Logan is a mercenary who
only intended to use Almira long enough to get to safety, but when she takes a
bullet and almost dies he finds himself questioning who he is and what he does
and saves her life.
On the run
and falling in love they are forced to decide: a life on the run together, or
face her father, the man who has the power to separate them forever.
Excerpt:
I felt his hand tapping on my
face and heard his voice coming from what seemed like a million miles away.
“Almira. Almira, wake up.”
My eyes slid open for a moment
and I saw him as he was. Older, stronger, maybe crazier for helping me now than
he had been then. My eyes drifted closed. I was back in the past with him
carrying me out of my father’s estate and into his waiting car. I was so doped
up on pills and heroin at the time I couldn’t think beyond ‘help me get out of
here.’
Then Daniel’s voice called
again, this time from the present day. “Don’t you dare die on me! Not now. Not
after all of this.”
My eyes opened again, and he
was standing over me. I managed to scan the room and saw a beautiful woman preparing
to work on me.
“If you fail her, I’ll come
looking for you.”
“Don’t be so dramatic, Danny.
You know I do good work. If I didn’t, you wouldn’t have called me in on this.”
I gazed up at Daniel and said
raggedly, “Yeah, Daniel, don’t be so dramatic.”
His head jerked downward and he
took my hand; images of our brief time together flooded me: him carrying me…
throwing me in the shower... of us naked in the shower, making love. Suddenly I
felt hot all over—well, as hot as can be under the circumstances.
“Daniel, don’t go…” I murmured.
Daniel let go and pulled up a chair, lighting a cigarette.
“I’m giving you something for
the pain but it’s still going to hurt. Put that out,” Jasmine said as she
worked over me, digging out the bullets; the pain was mind numbing. Tears
rolled down my cheeks as he took my hand again and I crushed it.
With each dig into my body to
retrieve those goddamn bullets, memories flooded my head. The night Daniel and
I spent together surfaced. Suddenly I felt at peace…
“I’m losing her, Daniel.”
Jasmine’s voice sounded like a faint echo.
“Stay with me, kiddo, stay with
me.”
I opened my eyes but I wasn’t
in the present. I was in another time, another place. I felt hands pressing
down on my chest. Air rushed down into my lungs.
“Save her damn it!” Danny’s
voice was so like it had been all those years ago.
I could see us that night as we
made love. Hear his voice. “You don’t know what kind of man I am,” he’d said.
I’d known exactly what kind of
man he was then.
His mouth captured mine. His
air breathed life into me, desperately pulling me back from the brink.
I opened my eyes, coughing and
sucking in air as he held onto my face, his gaze burning into me, reminding me
of why I had slept with him in the first place. “Don’t ever do that to me again,”
he said. “Do you understand me?”
“Is she gone?”
He looked up toward Jasmine.
“No.”
“Then get her the hell out of
here because I don’t trust her.”
“Ungrateful bitch.”
Daniel leaned back. Before he
could stop me, my hand shot up and I nailed her in the mouth with a hard sucker
punch.
“Crazy—”
Daniel stood up. “I suggest you
choose your next words very carefully,” he warned her.
My eyes slid shut. I heard a
door slam, and before I lost consciousness completely, I heard a faint whisper.
“This time I refuse to let you go.”

Daniel, so glad you were able to take some time away from your family to come and visit with us here at the Realm.
I didn't ask if there will be another story from Amy regarding you and Almira...do you know, and if so, what the title might be?
I'm not sure Almira really nailed down all those details. I know Amy happens to be working on a women's fiction novel right now. But that's all I'm privy to at the the moment.
So, it seems to be quiet around here Daniel, but I happen to know there's been plenty of viewers checkin' you out *smile*
Was Alimira going to stop in and see you here. We'd love to have her hang out and chat...if you'd like to give her a call and ask her on over.
Maybe we could put a call out for something fun to eat...I'm starving. Any ideas??
Daniel, loved reading about your, um, nice character. I'm guessing you're talented in many ways I love about a man.
Thanks for stopping by and brightening up my afternoon...
