Summer
and Jerry’s romantic weekend takes a dark turn when they discover
the body of a young woman in the surf.
When
the local police deny the crime and the newspaper prints nothing,
Jerry and Summer realize they are on their own. But they have no idea
how deep they will have to dig to find out the truth. The murder is
only a thread in a web of lies that extends to the furthest reaches
of political office.
Are
Summer’s visions to be the only clues? Jerry doesn’t think so,
his focus on good old-fashioned detective work, but when he doubts
her psychic abilities the trust between them begins to crumble.
As
the days pass, Jerry and Summer come to understand that not only
their relationship, but their very lives are in jeopardy.

I
graduated with a BA in art and English from Sonoma State University
in California. I've been an avid reader since I first learned how and
a writer from my early teenage years on. I've had several art related
businesses, including greeting cards and more recently a silk
painting business. When I began to write in earnest I put aside the
art, concentrating only on the writing.
I've
traveled a lot over the years, finding inspiration wherever I go.
Scotland holds a special place in my heart, hence the setting for
"The Moonstone". I had to make a 4th trip there to do
research as I was putting the book together!

Something unique or quirky about me:
GUEST POST
Something unique or quirky about me:
I have astral traveled—only once,
but it was enough! (terrifying)
Something
really interesting that’s happened to me:
I lived in Berlin as a child,
during the time the wall between east and west Berlin was going up
(my father was army) I ran away and couldn’t seem to get very far
because the bridge I went over had a chain link fence in the middle
of it! I peddled home after that and no one had even missed me!
*sigh* such was my childhood.
Pet peeves:
Facebook groups who won’t answer
my questions. Dog owners who yell, kick or harass their dogs.
Hunters who kill for the fun of it.
Ten favorite authors or books?
Alice in Wonderland and Through the
Looking Glass, Tolkien, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Robbins, Steinbeck—Peace
Like a River, all of Iris Murdock, The Night Circus (fabulous)
Daughter of the Forest series by Juliet Marillier, MJ Rose,
Murakami: The Wind-up Bird Chronicle and Kafka on the Shore. C.S.
Lewis. Joanne Harris Blackberry Wine.
What inspired
me to write these books?
I was working on a serious story
about my father and mother and his life in prison camp—it was
emotionally exhausting and I began a little fantasy story to relieve
my stress using a couple of writing prompt words—three books later
I came up for air!
What can we expect from you in the
future?
I am keeping up with several
series—the 5th in my Summer McCloud ghost
mystery series is in progress, I’m considering a 3rd
coyote book, (shape shifters) and my time-traveling witch series is
just taking off—2 is nearly completed and it leads into a third.
Do you have any side stories about
the characters?
I have interviews with the
characters from Moonstone. Will be sharing on my blog,
www.nikkibroadwellauthor.com--click
on blog at top of page.
What kind of world ruler would you
be?
Diplomacy first, good education
with low costs, and healthcare for everyone. Jails would still exist
but there would be less people in them because of services provided
for rehabilitation and education—EPA and environment would be top
priorities. Those in the highest income bracket would pay higher
taxes to pay for these services for less wealthy individuals.
Describe your writing style.
I write from the seat of my
pants—no outlines. This has worked for me through 17 books, the
one I’m working on now the first exception. I usually begin with
a sentence that comes to me—like: ‘beware of darkness’. Kind
of like a writing prompt. The characters usually take over sometime
around page thirty.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
I like to
drink wine, I walk with my dog, I do yoga—I also enjoy watching
sci-fi and fantasy series on TV and, of course, I love to read!
