Alice Orr: Stephen King, Have I Got a Story for You @aliceorrbooks #AttackingCancer #Cancer
Maw of the Monster
On January 22, 2008, if I’d known I was being thrust into the maw of the medical monster I would have shown up with more than a plastic spatula.
It was a frigid morning when the phone rang, too early to be anything but rude. “You want me to do what?” was my equally impolite response. I’d been snuggled under my yellow comforter. Now, I was supposed to get myself across Puget Sound asap to a hospital. Not a long journey, as the crow flies, but crows don’t care that Vashon Island has no bridge and only one ferry was in service that morning.
A half hour later I was outside, hopping from one freezing foot to the other and staring at my red Jeep, covered from roof to fender with a thick coat of frost. Back in my native Northeast, I’d have been better prepared. But the Northwest was supposed to have mild winters, so a black plastic spatula was all I could find as an anti-frost device.
Many blue-fingered scrapes were required to get me on the road at last. If I’d realized how rough that ride would be, I’d have stayed under the yellow comforter. If I’d realized I had breast cancer, I never would have answered the phone.
Skip ahead to December and another anomalous Northwest winter of blizzards and deep chill. By then, we had acquired a bona fide ice scraper, the red Jeep auto-piloted to the hospital, and the maw of the medical monster had grown to a chasm over which I dangled, holding on for dear life to the nearest fang.
You’ve probably heard the urban hospital legend where the trusting patient enters with a hangnail and ends up an amputee. I’d been inserted into my personal version of that tale. I thought I was in the home stretch, ready for brand new breasts to replace the old now-absent ones. Instead, I faced the two-pronged attack of a raging staph infection and surgical procedure #8, both of which would conspire to kill me.
Flash forward again to today. The cold, the ferry schedule, the infection and the surgeries are ten years past, but this was a horror story nonetheless. One I survived with the help of faith, family, friends and a miracle or two. I pray there will never be another shocking phone call or any of what followed, for me or for you. Meanwhile, my advice is that we all arm ourselves with mammograms against this monster because a plastic spatula simply will not do.Alice Orr – www.aliceorrbooks.com

A Time of Fear and Loving by Alice Orr @AliceOrrBooks #RLFblog #Romance #Suspense
Welcome Alice Orr author of A Time of Fear and Loving – Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Book 5.
Why did you write this book?
I wrote this book because Amanda Miller’s story deserves to be told. In A Vacancy at the Inn, Book 3 of my Riverton Road Romantic Suspense series, Amanda was still hidden beneath the shroud of widowhood while her sister Bethany’s story commanded the spotlight. Now, Amanda is ready to emerge and claim that spotlight for herself, and maybe the chance to love again too. Of course, since this is a suspense tale, she will have murder to contend with as well.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love suspense and always have. That love affair began with Nancy Drew and has never cooled off for me. I especially enjoy suspense which is complicated by a difficult relationship at the center. While heroine and hero are forced to contend with dark, dangerous circumstances, they must also contend with one another and feelings that could hardly be less convenient at this terrifying time. What will happen? How will the terror end? How will the couple end up? Double trouble means double suspense, my favorite combination.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I have many favorite characters, and they all have something in common. They are thrust into situations where they must struggle against powerful obstacles to survive. They know they are outmatched by that power, but they push on anyway, not because they are superhuman, they are not. They are ordinary folks like you and me who must dig deep into themselves for the courage they didn’t realize they possessed until it is called forth by peril, especially to those they love.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on A Thing We Lost – Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Book 6. This story introduces another Riverton household, the Women of West Main, who bond together in a different kind of family from the Millers of Miller’s Inn or the Kalli clan of Kalli Corner in my previous books. Single women, single mothers, women on their own lend their hearts and minds and talents to each other’s struggles, and stumble upon handsome heroes and hideous villains along the way.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Books about the Kalli and Miller families and the Women of West Main. Riverton runs through me in as many directions as there are small town streets and rural roads in the North Country of my imagination. In each of those directions stories call out to be told.
Please tell us about your latest book.
A hot car and a hot guy can get a girl into trouble.
Maybe that’s what Amanda Miller needs. But how much trouble is too much trouble? Dead bodies on the riverbank? A possible kidnapping? Sexy detective Mike Schaeffer might save the day. But who will protect Amanda’s heart?
