09/05/22 • 20 min
We're delighted to introduce you to Mt. Zion Ridge Press author JPC Allen, who first brought us Rae Riley in a short story in the MZRP Christmas anthology. Rae Riley is a young woman on a quest to find the truth about her mother's past, and identify the man who tried to kill her before Rae was born. The problem is that same man could be her unknown father.
In A Shadow on the Snow, Rae has found her father, and been welcomed into his family with open arms. But someone who has a grudge against her mother is now targeting Rae to make her pay for her mother's shady past. Rae fears she will lose her new family if they know about her problems, so she tries to solve the mystery on her own.
We had a lot of fun digging into the background details of the book, Jennifer's writing process, and plans for future stories featuring Rae and her new family. We think you'll enjoy this chat, too.
