OP: Tell us a little bit about Night of the Snake Witch. What is it about?
CJT: Alexandra Kendall is an executive for a pipeline company. She is also in love with Joe Larkin but can’t commit to marriage.

When Alex leaves for the Dakota’s Joe follows unaware that both of them will be caught up in Atear’s Voodoo and the supernatural. They find out about the thief ring on the pipeline and close in on it’s leader their lives will dangling by a thread.
OP: Why did you decide to write this story?
CJT: I was sitting in my office looking out the window watching the heavy machinery unload the 42″ pipe. The banding that held the pipe to the rail cars was picked up by the large machine and taken to the end of the yard and dumped on the growing pile. As I watched the banding settle, it began to slither. (in my mind of course) That was the birth of Night of the Snake Witch.
OP: What types of readers would be interested in this story?
CJT: Anyone over 17 who likes paranormal suspense.
OP: What is special about your book? What differentiates it from other books in the same category?
CJT: My experience on the Northern Border Pipeline. Most places in the book are real. People are from my imagination.
OP: Have you published any other books? Do you plan to publish more?
CJT: Yes. I have two other books out under another name. I just finished an adult paranormal suspense and working on the sequel about the sex slave trade.
OP: Thanks for your time, C.J.! We look forward to learning more about you as you visit other bloggers!
