Finding Home Again

 . . . A missing dog, a potential poisoning, and a suspicious death. Will Jordan and Logan find their happy-ever-after before another mysterious accident occurs?. . .

         Caretaker of a historical home, Jordan McKenzie, promised to keep a secret, but doing so gets harder by the minute, especially when an innocent kiss misses its intended target. Entangled in a web of mysterious mishaps, she discovers a surprising family connection. Is putting her trust in her boss' handsome nephew a risk worth taking?

Chef, Logan Crane, returns to Redford Falls hoping to claim an inheritance to open a restaurant, but he side-lines his plan after meeting Jordan. When past secrets intermingle with a present attraction, will Logan open his heart to the possibility of a future in Redford Falls…and with Jordan?

 Wild Women Authors is pleased to welcome back author Darlene Fredette as she celebrates the release of Finding Home Again, Book 5 in the Redford Falls series. We’ll begin with history teacher turned docent of an historic home in Nova Scotia, Jordan McKenzie.

Good morning, Jordan. Let’s start with where you are from. Toronto, but now residing in Redford Falls.

Tell us a bit about Finding Home Again. It is about me keeping a secret for a dear friend and employer, Pearl’s nephew, Logan, and the rest of her family. After they arrive at the inn, strange things being to happen.

What did you think the first time you saw Logan Crane? The first time I met him, he hit me with his car. Not the best first impression.

Agreed, what was your second thought? He is extremely handsome, and I sensed sadness in his heart.

Was it love at first sight? Logan knocked me off my feet – emotionally and physically.

What do you like most about him? Logan is kind, loving, and he makes me smile and laugh.

How would you describe him? Logan is a strong man and a great chef. He’s been hurt in the past, but I’m helping him find his way home.

How would he describe you? Probably that I talk to much. When I get nervous, I tend to chatter – a lot.

What is your biggest fear?  That Logan will leave when he finds out the secret I’ve been keeping from him.

How do you relax? By renovating the inn. I know it sounds crazy, but I love diving into the history of this home and incorporating new designs with many elements from the past.

What is the best piece of advice you ever received? Stay true to yourself.

Thanks for spending time with us, Jordan. Now we’d like to chat with Darlene.

What movies or books have had an impact on your career as a writer? Movies and books haven’t made an impact on my writing, but I enjoy watching movies, and they sometimes inspire me with ideas for my own stories.

What event in your private life were you able to bring to this story and how do you feel it impacted the novel? Finding Home Again is a romance with twists of suspense/mystery, and thankfully my life doesn’t contain either.

Tell us a bit about your publisher: how did you hear about them and what influenced your decision to submit to them? After receiving the rights back from my first book, I was looking for a new publisher and heard about The Wild Rose Press from another author. I’ve been with TWRP since 2014, and Finding Home Again is my nineth published book with them. My experience with them has been very good, and I recently signed a contract for book number ten.

What book[s] currently rest on your TBR pile? I am professional book reviewer, so my reading pile is overflowing. I just finished reading a military suspense and I am currently reading a paranormal romance.

Lastly, what's up next and when can we expect to see it on the shelves? I am currently editing book ten with my editor. This story stays in Redford Falls but is a sub-series spin-off where the next few stories will focus on the five Marley brothers of Redford Falls. I am hoping Derailed Hearts will be out later this year.
