I am pleased to host today's stop on LeeAnn Burke's Sizzling PR blog tour for her book Deadly Secrets. She is a fantastic author and her book looks amazing, check her out!About the Author:
At the age of 12 Leeann put pen to paper and created stories. She finished her first and only short story within weeks. She kept on writing through high school, university and her first few dead end jobs. To this day she still has a pen and paper handy.
After 22 years of writing she finally got “the call”. The owner of LBF Books called to let me know she wanted to purchase DEADLY SECRETS. Her dream was finally coming true. She decided to give her dream more purpose by donating funds to the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) and to a Canadian organization that does Breast Cancer Research. DEADLY SECRETS is also a proud sponsor for ABCF.
Book Summary:
Philippe Lafrance is a well-known reclusive writer whose life is suddenly thrown upside down when the grandfather he never knew existed, dies. He investigates the reason and learns that his family has kept secrets from him. Deep, ugly secrets. Worse, a killer is murdering the men in his family. He discovers that his father, then his grandfather, were murdered by someone desperate to keep secrets buried.
Bereft, Roxanne St-Clair is left to manage a restaurant when the only person who ever mattered to her, her foster parent and mentor, is murdered. She puts her life on hold to find his killer and bring him to justice.
Thrown together by circumstance and a mutual goal, Philippe and Roxanne fight their attraction and team up to find the killer, bring him to justice and unearth the truth. To stay alive, they must keep one step ahead of the assassin in order to prevent him from killing his next target, Philippe.
Will they succeed in bringing to justice this killer before Philippe becomes his next victim? Will they be able to deal with the truth behind the deadly secrets?

Scary, inspiring and challenging

That’s a hard one. It would depend on the mood I’m in when I’m reading which is why I have such a huge and eclectic book selection in my to be read pile.
3. At what point in your life did you realize you wanted to be a writer?
I can’t remember when I decided I wanted to be a writer per say, but I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have characters in my imagination telling me their stories.

In the last few years I have a few, RILLA OF INGLESIDE by L M Montgomery, IF ONLY IN MY DREAMS by Wendy Markham and THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett

I don’t write for children at the moment.
6. Who would play you in a film of your life?
I’d love to say Sandra Bullock or Rachel McAdams.

A good critique partner or someone you can brainstorm or bounce ideas off with. I’m lucky have had both in my career.

As long as I’m prepared and clear minded yep.

A bit, I first started putting pen to paper when I was 11 years old. So writing was part of my growing up and I wouldn’t change that for anything in the world.
10. What was the greatest thing you learned in school?
Routine and scheduling. I had part time jobs towards the end of high school and all through University. So in order to get everything done and done well I needed to be organized.

Not really, I am my own worst critic. I will always my writing to be better than it is no matter what.
12. Who else’s work do you admire?
I have always admired L. M. Montgomery. She was my first true favorite author. However as I meet more authors in different genres I find I respect a lot of them, but one that I respect the most is Hannah Howell. She is always available to her fans in person or emails. When you meet her you wouldn’t know how successful she truly is. Also she is a fountain of information and support for pre-published and new authors. She is what I want to be when I grow up as an author.
