ABOUT THE BOOK:

Title: Forging Forgiveness

Author: C.B. Clark

Genre: Romantic Suspense

BLURB:

When small-town college instructor Candace Cooper discovers bloody, bare footprints in the snow while running in a state park deep in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, it brings back the horrific nightmare of her past.

Detective Aiden Farrell is determined to redeem himself in his new position in Colorado, even if that means ignoring his growing feelings for the beautiful professor he meets during an investigation. His fear that the footprints she saw are connected to a recent spate of missing teens intensifies when Candace is assaulted on campus.

Aiden and Candace join forces, but as they start unraveling the truth, they get closer to each other—and to a killer who’ll stop at nothing to achieve his nefarious goal. 

Caught between duty and love, Aiden fights in a race against time to save the woman he loves.

INTERVIEW:

What was the inspiration behind your latest release? 

The idea behind the plot in Forging Forgiveness has been in the back of my mind for years. I love to hike, and one day I was out in the woods in the late fall and came across a set of bare human footprints impressed in the mud. Immediately, I started thinking about the story behind the footprints. The who, the why, the what if? All the questions that start a story.

When did you begin writing? 

A botched operation on my throat several years ago resulted in me losing my ability to speak above a whisper for a year. I was on medical leave from work, and I needed something to challenge my mind. Since I’ve always loved reading romance fiction, I decided to try my hand at writing one. Now my voice is back, and I have eight published romantic suspense novels and three audio books.

What has been your biggest challenge? 

Writer’s Block. No question. These past few stressful years have made it difficult to write. To restore my creativity, I’ve focused on the positives in this world. Getting out into nature and experiencing the beauty of the wilderness have helped. Setting a daily routine of sitting in front of my computer and writing something…anything…has helped as well.

What writing tips would you like to share? 

Write. Every day. As Nora Roberts, the undisputed queen of romance fiction has said, “You can’t edit a blank page.” Even if what you’re writing is not award-winning prose, just the fact you’re writing trains the creative part of your brain. More often than not, you’ll find some gold in the lines you wrote.

Which authors inspire you?

There are so many wonderful, talented authors. Some of my favorites are Nora Roberts, Allison Brennan, Diana Gabaldon, and Sandra Brown. These women write edge-of-your-seat, exciting books with strong female protagonists and intriguing heroes.
