L.
Diane Asked:
How did you come up with the Disaster Crimes series?
Chrys
Fey’s Answer: It
wasn’t intentional. I had only wanted to write Hurricane Crimes after
reading a book set during a blizzard that made me go, “Hmm…I’ve read many books
set during blizzards but never weather I know…Florida weather…a category five
hurricane.” So, I set out to right that one story, as a way to break in to
publishing. It was supposed to end with the insta-love ending.
Afterward,
it wasn’t until I read a couple of reviews that expressed interest in wanting
to know what happened with Donovan before the opening of Hurricane Crimes and
wondering about what’ll happen next when I realized a bad guy was still at
large. And how the heck could I leave things like that? I couldn’t. While
thinking of a sequel, my first and only thought was that I needed to continue
the disaster and criminal themes. Immediately, I was like, “A series that does
that would be awesome!” I wanted to write that series, following one couple,
from disaster to disaster. I jotted down the disasters that I could do for the
next few books—earthquake, tsunami, wildfire. A blizzard wasn’t a disaster I
was planning in the beginning of this series’ creation because of that thought
I’d had, “I’ve read many books set during blizzards.”
The
Disaster Crimes series unfolded from there.

*A
FIGHTING CHANCE is Book 6 in the Disaster Crimes series, but it’s a
spin-off featuring a new couple, so it can be read as a standalone.*
Thorn
has loved Amanda from afar, giving her whatever she needs as a survivor of
abuse—space, protection, and stability. He yearns to give her more, though, to
share his feelings, kiss her, love her, but he's worried the truth will
frighten her away.
And
Amanda is afraid. She’s scared of her attraction for Thorn. Most of all, she’s
terrified of her ex-boyfriend, who is lurking nearby where no one can find him.
When she grows closer to Thorn, Damon retaliates, jeopardizing their happy
ending.
Up
against an abusive ex and Mother Nature, do Thorn and Amanda have a fighting
chance?

EXCERPT:
Amanda
looked up from the current list of up-to-date payments for classes. A movement
outside the glass storefront caught her eye. She tilted her head to see a man
coming up the sidewalk from the side where the picnic bench sat. Through the
vertical blinds, she glimpsed a square face—a short, rugged beard and long,
dark hair pulled into a man bun. Her breath fled from her lungs. Her body went
from icy cold to flaming hot in the span of a millisecond. She dropped to the
floor and slid under the counter, beneath the ledge where they put their purses
and cell phones.
“What—”
Beth peeked at the windows. Then she snapped her fingers at April and pointed
at the stools.
April
jumped into action. She pushed the stools in so they blocked Amanda. The bell
attached to the door jingled as April removed the jacket she wore and draped it
across the stools, creating a curtain to shield Amanda.
From
a crack, Amanda watched Beth move to stand in front of the twins, who were in
their walkers playing peacefully. “I’m sorry, but we’re going to be closing.”
“I
don’t give a shit. I’m here for Amanda.”
The
sound of Damon’s voice had her heart beating even harder. That voice had
haunted her nightmares, had come back to life in her memories.
Beth
cocked her head to the side. “Who? There’s no one by that name here.”
“Don’t
bullshit me. I know she works here.”
His
voice was closer now.

Author’s Note: I wrote The
Disaster Curse to answer a few lingering questions readers may have after
reading A Fighting Chance, and to tie the whole series together with a
neat, shiny, perfect little bow. Plus, there was one disaster that I hadn’t
written about yet. *wink*
