Meet Mary Ball, author of Escape to Big Fork Lake


Meet some of my new friends from the Prism Book Group, starting with Mary Ball, author of Escape to Big Fork Lake

Mary, what do you love about Escape to Big Fork Lake?

I love that Samantha Blacker got a new start in life. How many of us have often fantasized about starting fresh somewhere else 
 

Introduce us to the story and one character—any one:
 
Bad luck seems to follow Sam Blacker. She loses her job and faces daily struggles keeping her drunken neighbor away from her. When an unexpected inheritance gives her a chance for a new beginning, Sam, a city girl at heart, is hesitant. However, after a brutal attack she has no choice. Making a decision that will forever change her life she flees to the small fishing town of Big Fork Lake, Alabama and soon finds herself in the arms of Noah Frye. As Sam adjusts to small town life trouble lurks in the shadows, waiting and watching. Inescapable, Sam’s bad luck returns when she stumbles upon a murder and becomes the only suspect.
 
Exciting, Mary. What one new thing did you learn during the research of this book?
I discovered the beauty that lies in Alabama. (one city I haven't visited yet)

 
What’s your best marketing tip?

Stay away from blue eye shadow or use it sparely.
 
Me: Big grin! Thanks, Mary.
 
Will an inheritance bring new happiness or a trap for murder?

  3. Wonderful interview. Mary L. Ball hits the 'nail on the head'; everyone, at some point in their life, needs a new start in life. Makes me think of the quote, "A change is as good as a rest." Unfortunately for Sam, that rest didn't come about as quickly as she'd have liked. But hey, a heroine's turmoil makes for great reading.

  4. One of the joys of writing is being able to become familiar with settings, characters, and information you've not known about before. Mary makes the Alabama location appealing.
