Madison West appears on Peter Quincy’s doorstep as expected, when her husband, Charlie, disappears. Peter had been her husband’s best man and had promised to take care of Madison if something happened to him. Neither Madison nor Peter are what they seem, but will their lies to each other to save the world, instead fail to save them from each other?

Redding lives in New Jersey with her husband, two kids, one dog and
two show rabbits. Her youngest son is a member of 4-H, hence the show
rabbits.

graduated from Penn State with a degree in Journalism and is still a
diehard Nittany Lions fan. In fact, she bleeds Penn State Blue!  Her
dream is to get her Masters in Education degree and teach creative
writing at Penn State.

Her
books are filled with romance, suspense and thrills. She also dabbles
in copywriting, including web content and product descriptions. When
she isn’t writing, she works for a local winery.


5 Things about Chris
Redding that would probably surprise you!

  • She knows
     the name of the drummer in just about every band from the 70s and
     80s.
  • She once
     interviewed to drive the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile.
  • Back when
     she was a bartender, she served a scotch to Mike Tyson’s divorce
     lawyer.
  • For one
     game, she’d like to be the person who squirts Gatorade into
     football player’s mouth at a Penn State game. Even if she’d need
     a stool to do it.
  • She can say the
     alphabet backwards more easily after she’s had something to drink.

    Book Excerpt

    Waking up next to a dead guy can ruin your whole day.
    At least interior decorator Miriam Stokes’ thought so.
    The Philadelphia Police Detective whose name she
    couldn’t remember talked soothingly to her, making her feel, not
    better, but at least calmer.
    As calm as anyone could feel after finding a dead body.
    How did she get herself into these things?
    Sipping coffee Miriam didn’t remember asking for, she
    eyed the cop as they sat in a flowered living room. Her friend Joe’s
    neighbor owned said living room. The friend she just found dead.
    She tried to keep eye contact with Detective. . .Dasher,
    Dancer? Some reindeer name.
    She could see him clearly now, her vision returning to
    normal.
    So you woke up and he was dead.  Didn’t you hear a
    shot?”
    After swallowing the scalding liquid, she answered him.
    “No detective. I do sleep very soundly, but I think I had help from
    this bump on the side of my head.”
    To indicate the injury, she pulled away the bag of ice
    she held to her head. The ice had appeared sometime after the first
    patrolman.  The lump began to throb, but Donner only glanced at her
    head. Instead, he scribbled some notes in a small pad.
    How many murders does one have to see to get so
    matter-of-fact about them? Miriam shuddered.
    Could I at least get dressed? I feel a little
    vulnerable in my pajamas,” she told him.
    Donner. The detective had introduced himself as Donner.
    He looked her over as if making a decision. He nodded, glancing
    around the apartment. “Do you have any clothes?”
    She nodded towards Joe’s apartment.
    When they remove. . .” he murmured, then grimaced.
    She caught his meaning.
    He turned his brown eyes back to her. “We’ll work
    things out. I just have a few more questions for you. Then we’ll go
    downtown.”
    Miriam nodded. Who would do this to Joe?

    How long have you known the deceased?”
