00:30 SECONDS - by Chrys Fey



Chrys Fey is my guest today with her book:  
00:30 SECONDS

BLURB:
     When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go undercover in the Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he's made mistakes and now an innocent woman has become their target. He's determined to protect her at all costs.

     The Mob's death threat turns Dr. Dani Hart's life upside down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As she's dodging bullets, she's falling in love with Blake. With danger all around them, will she and Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make good on their threat?

EXCERPT:
She panted with fear. What if they see the chest? What if we get caught? What if my breath stinks and I’m breathing right into Officer Hottie’s face? She shut her mouth and let oxygen flow through her nose.
Her eyesight slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see Officer Herro’s silhouette. His head was turned and he was listening to the thuds of heavy boots getting louder; the intruders were coming their way.
Then the thunder of footsteps sounded right next to them. “There’s no one here, Red,” someone announced.
“Look for documents,” a man ordered, who Dani could only assume was Red. “I want the name of the person I’m going to kill.”
A moment later, there was a reply. “All the mail is addressed to a Dr. Hart.”
Hearing her name said aloud by one of the men who had ransacked her place made her want to gasp. Her mouth fell open and her breath was reversing into her lungs, but before she could make a sound, Officer Herro lowered his lips to hers, silencing her. Stunned, she could only lie beneath him with her eyes wide and her body tense. She couldn’t believe he was kissing her. She wanted to push him back, but knew if she did he might hit the inside of the chest, giving away their hiding place. That was when she realized he was kissing her so she wouldn’t gasp.
She let her body relax. After her initial shock faded, she was able to feel his lips. They were comforting and caused a reaction deep inside her. She couldn’t stop her lips from reacting to his. It was an innocent connection, a soft touch of lips. Until his hand slid from her shoulder to her neck and the kiss deepened into something else.
BIO:

SOME AUTHOR TIDBITS:
Do you have a favorite theme/genre you like to write about?
In all of my stories, whether they are thrillers or supernatural, there is always romance. I can’t write a story without romance because it feels empty without it. I also love to see my characters fall in love, even in extreme situations like in 30 Seconds.


Do you listen to music (or do something special) when you write?
I have to listen to music when I write. Music inspires me and gives me ideas. It also gets me in the mood to write certain scenes. 30 Seconds is actually named after my favorite band, Thirty Seconds to Mars.


What are your three favorite foods?
1. Cheese Pizza
2. Banana Bread
3. Pasta

Thank you for reading my interview with Judy! Now is your turn to answer a question:
If the Mob was after you, what would you do and where would you go to stay alive?

Bon Appetite - A Weekend Treat: CRACKER PUDDING


My contemporary novel, KEY TO LOVE, is currently on sale for $0.99 for the entire month of October. In the novel, Lucas Fisher, the main hero, is trying to get custody of his little nephew, Todd Fisher, now orphaned because of his father’s death in a car accident. Todd loves eating animal crackers. This recipe is a great one—but you must use “oyster crackers.”

 
CRACKER PUDDING
 

1 qt. milk
½ cup flour
½ to ¾ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 egg
½ cup coconut
1 cup crushed oyster crackers

Let milk come to a boil. Mix flour, sugar, salt
and egg into a batter. Add the batter, coconut
and crackers to the milk and cook until thick.
