Author Spotlight: Evelyn M Hill

Hi friends! Today, our author spotlight is on Evelyn M Hill! Everyone, say hello to Evelyn! Without further ado, let's get to know Evelyn and her book Dangerous Deception.

Author Bio:
Evelyn has lived in various parts of the Pacific Northwest, which she uses as inspiration to set her Christian romantic suspense and historical novels. When she's not writing, you can usually find her attempting to persuade her garden to grow, surprising her family with "adventurous" (not their word) meals, or trying to persuade the cat and the dog to grasp the concept of peaceful coexistence.

Here's Evelyn!

What led me to writing this story

This story started with Hannah Upp. She was a schoolteacher in Manhattan. One day, she went out jogging and disappeared. Three weeks later, a Staten Island ferry captain spotted her floating face down in the river. When she was hauled out, she woke up. She had no idea of why she was in the water or where she'd been.

Doctors eventually diagnosed her with a type of retrograde amnesia known as a dissociative fugue. This condition is rare, but there have been documented cases of it.

Typically, people with this disorder leave home and set up a new life with a whole new persona. A reverend became a storekeeper. A man who lived in the middle of the country traveled to the coast and became a sailor. In each of these cases the people came back to their original identity with no memory of the missing time. The reverend knocked on his landlord’s door and asked “Where am I?” Hannah Upp fretted during her hospitalization because she had to go set up her schoolroom for the new school year—which had started three weeks before.

Hannah's story started me thinking. What if a woman were given a drug that suppressed her memory, mimicking this condition? That led me to Rachel..

What's coming next

I'm working on the story of how Rachel and Michael first met. Because I sold Dangerous Deception to Harlequin, I can't legally offer this new story for sale, but Harlequin has no problem with my sharing the story with my newsletter subscribers privately. So, if you'd like to hear how the two first met, here's the link: https://tinyurl.com/EvelynHillNewsletter

Dangerous Deception Blurb

Rachel Garrett has the ideal life in a small town, surrounded by people she trusts—until a stranger arrives and tells her that she is living a lie.

Michael Sullivan's claim that she’s been brainwashed can't be right.

Her life is perfect.

But ever since he's shown up, she's had to deal with people attempting to manipulate, drug, or even kidnap her.

Now Rachel must decide if she believes her closest friends…or the one man who makes her feel truly safe.
