But local chief of police Sylvie Laurent doesn't believe his siblings would try to kill him. And the stubborn woman is determined to protect him until she uncovers the truth. At first, Sylvie is skeptical of Ian's story…but he bears a strong resemblance to the Spencers.

End of Summer Birthday Bash | Day Six ~ Interview with Katy Lee & Giveaway!

Welcome to Christian Bookshelf Reviews, Katy!!

Hi there! I am excited to be a part of the End of Summer Birthday Bash. How thrilling! I’m also excited to share with you about my September release, Sunken Treasure.

What is your novel, Sunken Treasure, about?

Shipwreck diver Gage Fontaine is used to modern-day pirates chasing after his boat and the buried treasure he salvages. But when he unknowingly leads a dangerous criminal to the waters off Stepping Stones Island, he puts a beautiful fisherwoman in grave danger. Rachelle Thibodaux has spent the past year hiding on her boat to avoid the town's censure for her father's crimes. But when she comes face-to-face with a gun-wielding pirate, she becomes a new kind of target. To save her own life, she'll have to work with Gage to find the treasure before the pirates do.

What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?

I can’t believe I am going to share this, but when I am doing my final read through, I read the book aloud…in a British accent. I am not British. I don’t know why I do this, it just comes out. The problem is in my current work-in-progress, my hero is Irish. I hear him yelling at me with his thick Irish brogue every time I read his lines. “That is not how I would say that!”

What do you do when you are not writing?

I homeschool my children and that takes up most of my day. My kids are also competitive swimmers, and I spend a lot of time in the stands cheering them on.

What are your favorite and least favorite genres to read and why?
