If I wrote that in my novel readers might think the plot line was too far fetched, but it is actual news. I find human behavior fascinating and I am addicted to true crime shows. Feeding into my fascination of studying why people commit crimes, writing Bolt Action was thrilling. Secrets of the past, murder, mystery, revenge, deception, sexual tension, and the “State Quarter Killer”; <b><i>Bolt Action</i></b> offers it all. </font></font></font></p>

After a childhood of abuse suffered at the hands of her father, Leslie stashes a collection of pistols, revolvers, and even keeps a Browning A-Bolt Stalker Rifle in her broom closet. She is stand-offish and down right rude. Having to work a serial murder case with her handsome ex-lover Detective Lance Kestler doesn’t improve her disposition. </font></font></font></p>

As the body count mounts, Leslie Bolt begins to fall for the sexy medical examiner, Jack Donington. Perhaps a couple of Harley’s, paint drumming to music, and a new romance can help Detective Bolt conquer her own demons from the past. When Bolt’s apartment is tossed and her sister goes missing the question rises; will Detective Bolt capture the serial killer before her sister is the next victim? </font></font></font></p>Author Disclaimertag:crimespace.ning.com,2010-01-22:537324:BlogPost:2250682010-01-22T01:00:00.000ZVictoria Roderhttps://crimespace.ning.com/profile/VictoriaRoder
As an author, my mind views everything I see, touch, taste, hear, and observe as potential material for a story-line. I don’t want to make you nervous, but I’m out there and I’m observing and jotting down notes about your clothes, your attitude, your humor, your kindness, or your quirkiness mixed together with somebody else’s traits.
