MEET THE AUTHOR
FEATURED AUTHOR: ANN JONES
Hello and welcome to Silver Beans Café. My name is Jacks, and I am one of the interviewers here at SBC. Today I am happy to be sitting down with FICTION SUSPENSE author ANN JONES!
Thank you, ANN JONES, for being here today. Let’s just jump right into the interview. Let's start out by GETTING TO KNOW YOU. What GENRE DO YOU WRITE?
Clean suspense with just a hint of romance 😉 My Mom got me addicted to crime fiction when I was younger. I wanted to find something she could read and not blush. I like when an author lets me use my imagination on the graphic details.
Can you please share the TITLES OF YOUR BOOKS?
I have Missing (Lyn Kramer Mystery Book One) and Trapping (Lyn Kramer Mystery Book Two) published so far. Only Trapping is on Amazon. Missing is a free book on Instafreebie - http://book.annjonesbooks.com.
They sound great! (JACKS)
Outside of writing what are SOME OF YOUR OTHER INTERESTS?
I love about everything! Traveling, my passion – always up for a good adventure! Cooking, fun when I don’t have to lol. I like to experiment with food, if I go out to eat I usually will order the most bizarre thing on the menu to give it a try. Reading, I even keep an excel file of everything I read. Right now I mostly listen to audiobooks, I found out with publishing you don’t get a lot of sleep. While I cook, drive, clean, and all the other daily essentials I get my “reading” fix in!
Haha! Agreed, that is a MUST! (JACKS)

Now let’s switch gears a bit, let’s chat more ABOUT THE BOOKS.
Let us in on a secret Ann, are there ANY TRACES OF YOUR PERSONALITY IN YOUR MAIN CHARACTER?
I think Lyn is strong and determined. I would like to hope I am as well 😊
Where do you DRAW INSPIRATION from FOR YOUR BOOKS?
My Mom and my friends. My Mom loves suspense, she also likes a good female lead character. I must say Jud, is pulling his own though!
What is ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT WRITING?
The ability to make the world disappear and a place for the person reading to get a bit of a break from what is going on around them. I like to know that anyone can read what I publish and be able to recommend it to anyone without worry of graphic language or scenes. For me this is important.
What is one of the best pieces of ADVICE that you received OR A QUOTE THAT YOU LIVE BY?
More of a book, I read Andy Andrews. I actually read his books out of order, as I do with most things in my life…I read The Noticer Returns. Andy’s book made me try to be more aware of what is going on around me and to know anything is possible.

I am trying to get a print version of both books and an audio version! Big dreams over here!

What should people EXPECT TO SEE FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE?
Hopefully better books with each book published. I am always learning and suggestions are very welcome!
What are you MOST EXCITED ABOUT?
I can’t wait to see Missing and Trapping in print, to hold them in my hands!

Today we have a treat for all of you. We asked Ann to share a blurb. Here's a peek at her novels:
READ YOUR COPY OF MISSING
Victim? Runaway? Or Criminal?
Detective Lyn Kramer is busy training Jud Hughes, a new detective on the force, when Gary Farnsworth shows up to report his wife missing. As the interview progresses, Lyn realizes the missing woman is none other than her own twin sister, Melissa. Lyn and Melissa have not seen each other since their parents died twenty-five years ago, when the girls were split up to live with two sets of warring grandparents. Lyn and Jud find mutual respect and a growing camaraderie as the investigation into Melissa’s disappearance deepens. Tensions reach a peak when the two detectives discover a trail of crimes linked to the missing woman’s family. Will Melissa be found? And if so, will Lyn have it in her to put her twin sister behind bars?
READ YOUR COPY OF TRAPPING
A bittersweet reunion...
Separated by feuding families when they were children, Detective Lyn Kramer of the Elm Grove Police Department and her estranged twin sister, high school teacher Melissa Farnsworth, have finally been reunited—but under terrifying circumstances. After freeing her sister from the clutches of Lester Barton, a devious crime boss who also happens to be their sadistic uncle, Lyn vows to keep Melissa and her family safe. However, that goal is thwarted when Barton, working behind the scenes, infiltrates their sleepy town with drug traffickers and threatens to destroy the sisters and everyone they love as an act of revenge.
Can the recently reunified twins lure the ringleader out of hiding and into the cold light of justice? Or will their evil uncle succeed in terrorizing the sisters into submission?
