Welcome, Alison Chambers

Alison Chambers is a recent addition to the Wild Rose Press garden. Her Romantic Suspense novel, Secret Sentinel, came out May 7th. It’s the story of a museum curator and a sexy stranger searching for treasure. She has graciously agreed to give a copy of Secret Sentinel to a lucky commenter. Simply leave a comment here between now and midnight, Wednesday May 26th. Now on to my interview with her.

Alice: What is it about secrets, treasure, and danger that appeals to you?

Alison: I think most of us would admit to being fascinated by these things because so few of us actually have any real contact with them in our everyday life. That’s why mysteries and thrillers and romantic suspense books are so popular. We live vicariously through our characters’ exciting exploits and have great adventures without ever leaving our home! That’s why I wrote “The Secret Sentinel” (now available from The Wild Rose Press) to experience the treasure hunt of a lifetime with a handsome Zorro-like hero. What a thrill!

Alice: Does the intellectual stimulus of a mystery attract you more, or the heart-pounding suspense of danger?

Alison: Both are so intertwined it’s hard to separate them. Mysteries invite danger and suspense usually can’t occur without mystery. They’re both so exciting. In “The Secret Sentinel” I present the mystery of a lost treasure but in order to find it, the main characters, Savannah Rutledge and Antonio Desada, must expose themselves to villainous members of a dangerous secret society and elude the poiice at the same time.

Alice:Tell me more about the dangerous, secret society in your book. What are they called? What kind of things do they like to do? What makes them tick?

Alison: They are called the Keepers of the Secret Sentinel and they are fictional of course. They have been around since Civil War days and are a domestic terror organization. They hold secret rites using live snakes, have secret signals, but if I tell you any more, I’ll give away the plot! That’s why it’s called The SECRET Sentinel!

Alice:Have you been on any real-life adventures? What were they like?

Alison: Went on a few adventurous shore trips during several cruises: hiked around in a lush jungle on an island and got lost; also got lost in a maze-like old city and was surrounded by pyramids and dozens of iguanas. But never went on a treasure hunt. That’s why I write about them!
