Danger on the Loch JustRead Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Danger on the Loch by Paige Edwards, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!


Danger on the Loch

Title: Danger on the Loch
Author: Paige Edwards
Publisher: Covenant Communications
Release Date: April 5, 2021
Genre: Clean, Romantic Suspense

Raised by a cold and distant mother, photographer Paisley Clark has spent her life daydreaming about the father she doesn’t remember. Paisley’s dream turns to reality when a DNA test brings her in contact with the mysterious man. With her financial situation a disaster and her childhood friend James Pressley-Coombes working across the pond in Scotland, Paisley is emboldened to accept her father’s invitation to visit him. 

She arrives in the Highlands only to discover that she isn’t Paisley Clark at all but a titled lady, the daughter of a Scottish duke. Despite the warm welcome and the comfort of James’s presence, dangerous undercurrents surround Castle Rannoch, her father’s estate. Overwhelmed, Paisley takes refuge in her camera and James’s steady presence to provide a sense of normalcy in her rags-to-riches transformation. But her once-easy relationship with James is changing, deepening beyond friendship in a surprising twist of events. Before they have time to examine their feelings, Paisley inadvertently captures a shocking image in one of her photographs—a picture worth killing for.

Welcome Paige! Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and allow my readers a chance to get to know you and your newest book Danger on the Loch.


I always like to start these interviews the same way with something fun to break the ice: can you share 5 random facts about yourself that we will NOT find in your bio?

Five random facts:


1. I married my high school sweetheart.


2. I’m a certified scuba diver.


3. I attended a professional ballet academy growing up. A few of my author friends have used my dance background to help with their stories (But I have yet to write a story with a principal dancer).


4. I was on the ballroom dance team in college. When I tried out, I had never done ballroom before-but it looked fun, so I mimicked the instructor. After so many years of dance, I was a quick study; but I definitely faked it until I figured things out.


5. Union soldiers camped on our property during the Civil War (I live in Virginia). A friend located dozens of lead bullets, belt buckles, and other artifacts on our land using her metal detector.



When did you first discover that you had a passion and talent for writing?

In college, my professor read my papers to the class. Up until then, I had no idea my doodling was decent.



What type of research went into creating this story?

Tons. I toured a half-dozen medieval castles before I concocted Castle Rannoch. Banking: I reached out to a bank executive whose skillsets far exceeded standard banking practices needed for international wiring systems. Settings: I always visit the locations in my stories. It lends authenticity to my novels that readers seem to enjoy. As for aristocratic protocol, there wasn’t anything modern available. I created my own system from nineteenth-century customs and royal protocol, then I toned it down for my present-day aristocrats.


What was the most challenging part of bringing Danger on the Loch to life? 

When the pandemic hit, I couldn’t return to Scotland to cross-check details when international travel shut down. Luckily, I have a friend in Scotland who shot clips of the region. His videos provided the missing info I needed.



Can you tell us a little bit more about Danger on the Loch?

Tagline: Paisley’s DNA test links her to the father she can’t remember and a heritage and name not her own. The premise came from my own DNA test and an article I read about a UK man who inherited a large estate after his DNA test proved he was an earl’s son.


What do you hope readers will take away from the book?

Prayer can strengthen us during trials. Also, I wanted to highlight the importance of family connections—whether through blood links or ones we create ourselves.

 

Thank you again for taking the time to answer these questions. Before you go, are there any other projects you are currently working on that you can share?

Heirs of Falcon Point comes out October 2021. I collaborated with three other authors, each of us writing individual characters, to create something very special. Our tagline is: In the early days of World War ll, the Lang family lost everything. Eighty years later, it’s time to take it back.


Also, my publisher just approved my latest manuscript for a tentative April 2022 release. It’s set in Scotland and is a Christian contemporary romantic suspense. In July 2022, I have a novella coming out that is part of an anthology. Right now, I am currently writing another Pressley-Coombes Christian romantic suspense.


Thank you so much for having me; it was a pleasure.
