Intensity. Skill. Tenacity.
The bodyguards of Elite Guardians Agency have it all.

When a photo leads investigators in West Ireland to open a twenty-five-year-old cold case, Elite Guardians bodyguard Haley Callaghan’s life is suddenly in danger. Haley knows how to take care of herself; after all, she’s made a career out of taking care of others. But after she has an uncomfortably close call, Detective Steven Rothwell takes it upon himself to stay with her—and the young client she has taken under her wing. A protector at heart, he’s not about to let Haley fight this battle alone.

In a sweeping plot that takes them into long-buried memories—and the depths of the heart—Haley and Steven will have to solve the mystery of Haley’s past while dodging bullets, bombs, and bad guys who just won’t quit.

Interview with Haley Callaghan
main character of Chasing Secrets by Lynette Eason

So, Haley Callahan, tell us a little about your current situation.

HC: (with a slight Irish accent): Thanks for asking. Right now, I’m in a bit of a complicated mess that has to do with my past. I’ve found out that I’m not who I thought I was. And with that knowledge comes a whole lot of trouble.

Yikes! That sounds intriguing. What kind of trouble?

HC: Oh, you know, things like bullets, bombs and bad guys. Someone is out to kill me, and I’m just as determined to stay alive and stop them. Thankfully, I have Detective Steven Rothwell watching my back. He’s a good man.

Sounds like there might be a bit of attraction there.

HC: A bit. We’ll see what happens if we can ever find the time to actually get to know one another. Right now, he’s helping me dodge the bullets and the bad guys so the trust factor is already there.

I’d like to hear more about that soon. For now, let’s talk about who may be after you. Do you know who’s behind all the trouble?

HC: It could be Richie, who is the boyfriend to Belinda, a young mother I met a couple of days ago. She’s got a son, Micah, who needs a heart transplant, and another son, Zeke, who’s sixteen and thinks he knows everything. Unfortunately, Richie’s not a very nice guy, and he hates me because I made him look bad in front of a lot of people—including Zeke and Zeke’s mother. I’ve taken Zeke and his little family under my wing and am going to protect them no matter what.

Wow. That’s crazy. I’ll be pulling for you and Steven as you work to find out who’s after you. And poor, Micah, do you think he'll get that heart transplant?

HC: Only God knows that, but we're sure praying for it.

Keep me updated. I'd like to hear how that goes. In the meantime, stay safe, you hear?

HC: Oh, definitely. Well, looks like I’m out of time. My grandfather is here from Ireland. I’ve just met him for the first time, and I’m anxious to get to know him. Thanks for the chat; it was fun! Now, after talking to my grandfather, I’ve got to go take down some bad guys. Chat later!

Anne of Green Gables Audio Book Tour ~ ~ Audio Clip, Review, & Giveaway!



Author: L.M. Montgomery

Narrator: Colleen Winton

Length: 10 hours 7 minutes

Publisher: Post Hypnotic Press

Series: Anne of Green Gables, Book One

Genre: Classics


Scroll down for an audio sample & giveaway!

Anne, a young orphan from the fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia (based upon the real community of New London), is sent to Prince Edward Island after a childhood spent in strangers' homes and orphanages. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their 50s and 60s, had decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm. They live at Green Gables, their Avonlea farmhouse on Prince Edward Island. Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne Shirley. Anne is described as bright and quick, eager to please, talkative, and extremely imaginative. She has a pale face with freckles and usually braids her red hair. When asked her name, Anne tells Marilla to call her Cordelia, which Marilla refuses; Anne then insists that if she is to be called Anne, it must be spelled with an e, as that spelling is "so much more distinguished". Marilla at first says the girl must return to the orphanage, but after a few days she decides to let her stay. Marilla feels that she could be a good influence on the girl and had also overheard that another disagreeable woman in town might take Anne in instead.

Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942) was a Canadian author best known Anne of Green Gables and the series of novels that book begins. The "Anne" of the books is Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl who comes to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert on their farm, Green Gables. Published in 1908, the book was an immediate success in Canada, the United States and beyond. It has been adapted multiple times to screen, stage, radio, and TV.

Anne Shirley made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. Anne of Green Gables was ranked number 41 in "The Big Read," a survey of the British public by BBC to determine the "nation's best-loved novel" (not children's novel!). And a survey conducted by School Library Journal (USA) in 2012 ranked Anne of Green Gables number nine among all-time children's novels.
Anne of Green Gables was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery published 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays in her lifetime. Her work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide. Mostly set in Prince Edward Island and locations within Canada's smallest province, the books made PEI a literary landmark and popular tourist site. Montgomery was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.
