KANSAS
CITY COWBOY
The Precinct: TASK FORCE
FROM HIS HAT TO HIS BOOTS, THIS COP
WAS ALL COWBOY
For
small-town sheriff Boone Harrison, the investigation into a serial rapist
turned killer is painfully personal. Boone's priority is to find the coward who
murdered his sister. But to accomplish that, he'll have to work with Dr. Kate
Kilpatrick, a secretive woman whose striking beauty and kind heart just may be
the lawman's undoing....
Forensic
psychologist Kate Kilpatrick was wrong about Sheriff Harrison. He's smarter and
more resourceful than she'd given him credit for-and entirely too attractive.
In their combined grief, Kate finds something she didn't even know she needed:
protection. Because when the Rose Red Rapist sets his sights on Kate, she'll
need more than the power of the badge to save her. She'll need her very own
cowboy.

JULIE: My dad, the veteran Marine. I miss him. Even after he retired from the Corps, he lived as a Marine—patriotic, protective, honorable—yet it was just a man doing his job. And yes, he had the jarhead haircut his entire life.
What or who inspired the hero for KANSAS CITY COWBOY?
JULIE: The Magnificent
Seven movie and TV show have always been my favorite cowboy inspiration.
But his horse is Ben Cartwright’s buckskin off Bonanza.
Is there a hero you’re just dying to write about for
Intrigue?
JULIE: I’m excited about getting to write Pike Taylor’s
story in an upcoming Precinct: Task Force book.
He’s a K-9 cop, so that research has been so interesting (and I love
dogs). Plus, he’s my favorite type of
hero—the big, brawny protector type.
What’s your favorite way you’ve killed someone (in your
books of course)?
JULIE: Usually, I love a good explosion <g>. But in
the book I’m writing now I used a simple brick as the murder weapon and found
it really helped shape this particular villain.
What’s your favorite thing about the Harlequin Party?
JULIE: There’s just…so much. Good food, wonderful friends, interesting
things to do, fun decorations, nice honors awarded to authors. But I think my favorite thing is the dancing!
Where are some unusual places your characters have ‘made
out’?
JULIE: In a cave.
During a chess game. In a
museum. On a motorcycle.
GOTTA ASK: If you had to choose a movie to describe KANSAS CITY COWBOY, which would it be?
JULIE’S GOTTA ANSWER: This is hard!
Maybe the closest thing plot-wise would be CROCODILE DUNDEE? You know,
instinctively smart country boy in the big city. But not a comedy and the hero isn’t an
Aussie. My hero has a lot of Chris from
THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, too. That sort of
tortured, weight-of-the-world-on-his-shoulders, leader and protector.
