Our resident Scrivener aficionado Gwen Hernandez recently released her novel, Blind Justice. We’re so pleased she’s taken the time to join us here today and tell you more about it.
Growing up, Gwen Hernandez wasn’t brave enough to share the stories in her head with other kids, but they usually involved intrigue and romance. She was raised in the Army and Navy, and married an Air Force engineer, so it’s natural that her Men of Steele series features military heroes and heroines who must overcome danger to find true love.
The former programmer and manufacturing engineer also helps authors all over the world find the joy in Scrivener through Scrivener For Dummies, online courses, in-person workshops, and private training.
Now living in SoCal, she likes to travel, read, jog, flail on a yoga mat, and explore with her husband and a lazy golden retriever.
Q1: What’s the premise of your new book?
When Tara Fujimoto’s quest to avenge her sister’s death makes her a target, a sexy security specialist steps in to watch her back, but his quiet appeal threatens her carefully guarded heart. Can she resist their lightning-hot attraction, and stay alive long enough to expose her enemy?
Former special operator Jeff Patarava has good reasons to keep his distance from his impossibly perfect coworker, but when her life is threatened, his resolve is shot to hell. Forced into close proximity, sparks fly as he learns she’s far more than her flawless appearance suggests. Now, he’ll put everything on the line to keep her alive.
Q2: What would you like people to know about the story itself?
Blind Justice touches on several heavy topics, including suicide, sexual exploitation, and parental kidnapping. But somehow, there’s still room for joy and hope. Honestly, that’s what I love about romantic suspense. It’s a complex weaving of thriller and romance, where, if I’ve done it right, neither thread could be removed without ruining the story.
Q3: What do your characters have to overcome in this story? What challenge do you set before them?
