About the Book
Johnny
Rocker believes he's doesn't need anyone or anything—especially God because
after all he is a rock & roll god. When the floor beneath his feet
crumbles—literally—he hurtles toward a different truth.
Since
the death of Maddie's family, she's run from life and love and become the best
bodyguard she can be. But, with God's help, she's ready to step out of her
comfort zone and into a different life. When her boss asks—no begs—her to take
on one last job, she finds it hard to refuse. Someone is trying to kill
mega-star Johnny Rocker. It's Maddie Cotton's job to make sure that doesn't
happen.
Even
under Maddie's protection the threats continue. As Christmas approaches the
danger escalates—someone doesn't want Johnny Rocker to see the new year, and
they are willing to kill Maddie as well. Johnny and Maddie will have to set
aside their differences and learn to lean on each other and God if they want to
see Christmas day.
My Review
Duncan’s contribution to the 2019 Holiday Extravaganza is
an inspirational tale of two people with vastly different lifestyles, but at
the same place in life. Zeb Walker, aka super rock legend Johnny Rocker, is
tired of being constantly “on,” and hounded by a voice he doesn’t understand. Maddie
is tired of being on constant alert in her work as a bodyguard. She is retiring
from the company, like now…only her boss has one more job. The paycheck is too
good to pass up, and she is intrigued by the aspect of investigating a mystery
along with the protection detail. She reluctantly agrees to be Johnny Rocker’s
temporary bodyguard, especially since her special relationship with Jesus makes
it clear Johnny needs more than physical protection.
When Maddie can’t protect Zeb anyplace where his crazed
fans can find him, one of whom is obviously trying to kill him, she takes him
to her secluded Colorado cabin. As they get to know each other, they become
more open to the promptings of the Voice Maddie knows and Zeb longs for. The
threats against Johnny’s life escalate until Maddie, too, is drawn into danger.
The story is an exciting and entertaining read with loveable
characters at a crossroads. I enjoyed their personalities as both Zeb and
Maddie got a kick out of pushing each other’s buttons. Told with enough danger
through a light touch to keep the reader turning pages, and through both Zeb
and Maddie’s perspectives, readers who enjoy inspirational romantic suspense in
short form will find much to love in All I Want for Christmas is Johnny Rocker
Dead.

Murder, Mayhem & Christmas?
Murder,
Mayhem & Christmas? Really?
On the
surface, it may seem that murder and mayhem doesn’t necessarily go with
Christmas, but I love weaving a Christmas story in with suspense and romance. I
have several Christmas stories available—The
Christmas Stalking; The Christmas
Angel Thief; No Home for the
Holidays; and A Christmas Stolen.
My new
Christmas novella is ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS JOHNNY ROCKER DEAD! How’s that
for a title filled with murder, mayhem, & Christmas?
I won’t
tell you the plot but I will tell you the story is about how much God loves
each of us—no matter what we’ve done. And isn’t that what Christmas is really
all about?
Speaking
of Christmas, one of the things my husband and I do every Christmas is to clear
out our enclosed porch and then we put up Christmas trees. Yes, I said trees as
in many trees.
Last
year, we had 15 trees up. In all sizes and shapes— even a snowman tree. We
don’t have any young children or grandchildren around, but that doesn’t stop us
from celebrating the season and honoring Jesus’s birthday.
Merry
Christmas to all!
