J. A. Dennam, a member of Romance Writers of America, resides in a small Kansas town with her husband and four children. Besides her love for the literary arts, her interests include fine arts, culinary arts, singing and motorcycling (sometimes together ;)
Storytelling has been a part of her life since childhood, when insomnia forced a young girl of six into counting popcorn on the ceiling in the dead of night. Confessing her problem to her older sister, the two girls decided to tell each other stories to entice sleep; however, the inevitable snore always tore through her sister's nose before she could utter the words 'Once Upon A Time.' So, the stories began to flow in silence, her imagination taking her to quiet, private places so enthralling, the trick was suddenly to stay awake. Each night, she went to bed anticipating the continuation of the adventure that had been interrupted by sleep the previous night. Soon, insomnia was no longer a problem and the stories would sometimes take months to complete.
Those habits carried on to adulthood until the need to purge her stories demanded she put them in print. Her fascination with romance, fast cars and adventure films is what structures her stories today, making Romantic Suspense the genre she was simply born to write.
For over twenty years, Ms. Dennam has been ensconced in her career as a painter of Western art. In the meantime, however, she managed to complete three novels: FLESH OF ANGELS, FLESH OF THE FATHER, and TRUTH AND HUMILITY. The recent decision to forgo her fine art career in lieu of her writing career was a simple one. Her passion for writing far outshines all other passions and she has only just begun to build her list of achievements by entering writing contests, joining local writer's groups and stocking local book stores with her titles. Her current project, FLESH OF INNOCENTS, is the third and final installment of her abovementioned FLESH series.
EXCERPT
Truth and Humility
For over a century, two families have fought, shot,
kidnapped, hung, burned, stolen from and accused one another. Danny
Bennett knows that most of what keeps her family feuding with the Cahill
clan is baseless accusations from both parties, but that doesn’t keep
her from taking sides. After all, when her fun-loving brother, Derek –
the person she idolizes the most – has been accused of murder, her
loyalties lay solidly with him. But her loyalty to her chosen future is
what she puts first when she applies for a dangerous job in order to
pay for her college education. Accustomed to living on the edge, Danny
welcomes a good challenge...until she realizes she has unwittingly
landed herself in the bowels of the enemy camp and fallen prey to her
brother’s accuser.
Driven by hatred, Austin Cahill knows
exactly what to do with the Bennett girl who saunters onto his jobsite
under false pretenses: use her as a weapon against her brother, the man
he holds responsible for his fiancé’s fatal drowning. Derek Bennett
must pay for his crimes, but Austin must coax a confession out of him
first. His plan to “own” Derek’s beloved baby sister should break the
man, but he soon discovers a much bigger obstacle...his burgeoning
desire for Danny. When Derek comes for her, will Austin be prepared to
let her go in exchange for the truth? Will his quest for vengeance
destroy the woman he’s grown to care for? Or will it be the truth that
brings them all down?
