I don’t often get to watch television but yesterday afternoon when I got home I clicked on the television and flopped onto the couch, I was exhausted. What was on the screen was mesmerizing… I couldn’t move, not that I tried to; I was too involved with what I had begun to watch.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and eventual nuclear meltdown that our friends in Japan had to suffer and are still suffering.

But can I not go there with this blog, I find it too upsetting, I have friends who have not been found. INSTEAD I would like to talk about the show that came on after the documentary….

Actually, no, I will put that in my next blog – I can not take away the importance and enormity of what happened one year ago. If I had sufficient money I would be there in a flash to offer serious help. Straight after the event I sent word to our friends offering to look after their children here in Australia until they get back on their feet – no answer. Other friends have looked for them but have had no success.

I watched the video footage with my hand on my mouth and tears almost blinding me, listening to the people on the screen yelling to others we could see to RUN, RUN, I found myself joining them… but it didn’t help. All the time I watched I looked for the loved familiar faces I may never see again.

Fatal Flaw

A writers’ job is to capture the feeling of moment and place. It is to transport the reader into another’s shoes. Sandy Curtis does this expertly in her latest novel Fatal Flaw. She is a master at bringing a story to life written so succinctly it appears effortless.
In Fatal Flaw we meet Operative Mark Talbot as he learns of the murder of his father. Mark has a job to do, his father is not the only murder victim and these murders appear to have nothing in common. Do these murders have anything to do with a terrorist planning to unleash horror on an unsuspecting city?

It is up to Mark to save the day and the woman he loves.

Readers of thrillers, mysteries and romance will all enjoy Fatal Flaw. Sandy keeps the reader on their toes, she writes a love scene that leaves you wanting that cigarette.

I highly recommend Fatal Flaw and all of Sandy Curtis’s other books. Go order a copy from your nearest bookseller (and tell your librarian they need a copy too).

Fatal Flaw published by Clan Destine Press ISBN 9 780980 790092

Happy reading,

Jacque
