Writing is Never Easy by Kat Martin

WRITING IS NEVER EASY

 

One of the great myths about writing is that it gets easier over time.  As the author of eighty novels, I can tell you it just gets harder.  

Sentence variety and paragraph construction become easier, grammar and spelling, the basics of writing become second nature.  But penning the actual novel?  Not so much.  

With each new story, you have to come up with a different plot, make each of your characters stand out in some special way, and try to give the readers something you haven’t given them before.

 In THE LAST GOODNIGHT, I knew I wanted to write a novel set on a cattle ranch.  I love writing Westerns, both historical and modern day.  The story is a cold-case murder mystery, something I hadn’t really written before.

In the novel, when Kade Logan said goodbye to his wife eight years earlier, he never thought it would be the last time he saw her alive.  Then her car is found in a nearby lake and Kade is determined not to fail his dead wife again--this time he won’t rest until he finds her killer. 

Eleanor Bowman, a private investigator, joins him in the search.  Having been raised on a ranch in Wyoming, Ellie is able to fit in undercover on the ranch.   And of course the chemistry between the two is hot from day one.

The novel challenged me and the Colorado ranch setting provided an intriguing background.  I hope you’ll watch for THE LAST GOODNIGHT and that you enjoy it.

Next up is THE LAST MILE, the second Logan brother, Gage, a world renown explorer, the man Abigail Holland hires him to find her grandfather’s missing treasure.  It’s a high-action adventure I hope you enjoy.

Till then, all best and happy reading.  Kat   

THE LAST GOODNIGHT

ABOUT THE BOOK

When Kade Logan said goodbye to his estranged wife eight years ago, he never thought it would be the last time he saw her alive. Now her car has been hauled out of a nearby lake and Kade is determined to track down the man who murdered her.   Enter Eleanor Bowman, a talented private investigator who’s about to stir up a hornet’s nest on his Colorado ranch.  

With old scandals still buzzing about his late wife’s many affairs and new violence erupting, Kade is faced with the discovery of another beautiful woman’s body.  Are the two killings linked? Who is the man who seduced, then murdered both women?  Ellie believes they are dangerously close to the truth.

From corporate Denver highrises to posh Vail mansions, Kade and Ellie sense the killer is closing in again and this time Ellie is the target.  Kade must risk everything to save the woman he’s coming to love—before she becomes the next victim . . .
