Ropes and Revenge by Jessie Evans
(Lonesome Point, Texas #6)
Publication date: April 14th 2015
Genres: Adult, Suspense
Synopsis:
Eight months ago, John Lawson lost his wife and best friend in a tragic accident on his family’s ranch. In the time since, he’s devoted himself to two things—taking care of his two newly motherless sons and proving that Lily’s accident was no accident. Now, he finally has hard evidence that his wife was murdered and he won’t rest until he has the killer’s blood on his hands. He doesn’t have time for anything but vengeance, especially not a crazy ghost hunter wanting to poke around the old spring on his family’s ranch.
Persephone Styles—Percy to her friends—learned about ghosts the hard way, when she was orphaned by a violent crime at the age of seven. Ever since, she’s seen spirits and been obsessed with studying souls beyond the grave. She’s in Lonesome Point to document the town’s spectral activity, but finds herself powerfully drawn to widower John Lawson and empathizing with his grieving children. For the first time in years, Percy is as riveted by the living as she’s always been by the dead and longs to be a part of John’s life.
But when one night of passion becomes something more, Percy realizes John is as haunted as she is and that the man she’s coming to love is walking a dangerous road that may end with him becoming a murderer’s next victim.

Interview:
Tell us something about yourself, both as a
writer and as a person.
As a writer I am dedicated, reliable,
passionate, and determined to tell the best story I can possibly tell. As a
person I am loyal, silly, and always looking for a reason to laugh.
When did you realize you wanted to become a writer?
I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was little.
Playing pretend for a living seemed like the most wonderful thing ever.
How did you come up with the idea and how did
you create the characters?
Honestly, I have no idea! My brain is a mystery
to me. Stuff just pops up. These people come to life on the page and then I go
back and flesh them out with more specific characteristics during my second and
third drafts. Now that I’ve finished the series, however, the town is populated
by people that feel real to me. I talk to my husband about them all the time
and he thinks I’m crazy, lol.
If you should describe your books in three
words, what would you pick?
Fast-paced, entertaining,
written-from-a-loving-place
What else do you enjoy doing, when you’re not
writing?
Playing with my family, surfing, and working on
getting my fixer-upper house fixed up ( a never ending battle).
Where can readers find you?
Everywhere! Lol. Hope to see you all around the
web.
