Now before we hear from Rebecca I would love to tell you about one of Rebecca’s wonderful novels. I recently read Wildland and it just blew me away. Wildland starts out with a widowed woman, Kat Jamison, who received a cancer diagnosis. Her husband has passed away, and Kat is not sure she has the will to carry on with more chemo treatments.
01:59
But, if you think you know where this story is going, and in what direction it will take us, I have to confess…I guessed wrong. Instead, I found Wildland to be a nail-biting thriller with Kat right in the middle of a heart-stopping crisis.
02:17
Kat decides to stay at her cabin in the Blueridge Mountains, where she and her husband used to vacation together. Wildland doesn’t take too much time to grab readers and pull them into this thrilling adventure. Kat is going to face great danger. But with her spirits so low, how will she face an unforeseen catastrophic event?
02:40
Soon there will be two children and two dogs whose very lives depend on how Kat handles the disaster all around them. Can a woman in such low spirits, rise above her own misfortune to try to save them all?
02:56
Okay, I going to take a break here for us to listen to Rebecca Hodge’s message for all of us. I am so excited to tell you that Rebecca Hodge has been kind enough to say “hi” to us all. Today, Rebecca tells us a little about herself in this Book Club Reporter: Spotlight on Author podcast episode. So stay right here because Rebecca Hodge is coming right up now.
03:20
Hi this is Rebecca Hodge, and I’m here to tell you a little about myself. Thanks so much to Laura Jay for inviting me to be part of this Book Club Reporter review. It’s great to be here.
I am a veterinarian, who has spent most of my working career as a clinical research scientist…actually working in early phase clinical trials for human drugs. But writing is certainly my passion.
My debut novel, Wildland, was released last year, and has received significant praise. And my most recent novel, which releases this week, is Over the Falls, which is the story of a woman who has really withdrawn from the world, who has to rejoin the real world as she searches for the sister that she hates.
I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, I’ve got three grown sons, and two crazy dogs. And I’m excited to connect to new readers. Check out my website if you would like more information. And thanks again, Laura, for letting me share.
