Bertha is a sweetheart and readers were delighted when she fell in love and got married in the first novel. She’s a fifty-something, plus-size committed Christian woman who became something of a mentor to Ronnie. Second only to Ronnie, readers have loved Bertha. Bertha Dagney is a beloved secondary character from the first novel in this series, Harmful Intent. Of course, they are also her bridal attendants. Ronnie brings her two BFFs along with her on this trip. I know tulle from organza and particularly enjoyed writing the fitting scenes for the bridal gown and maids’ dresses. I traveled to bridal fairs in Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Las Vegas, and of course represented my bridal firm in my home town, New York City. This is right up my alley, as my career before my retirement was in the bridal industry. Now its patrician director has given her a one-week bridal shopping vacation. In previous novels, Ronnie did some work for the director of a clandestine government organization. It begins with private detective Veronica “Ronnie” Ingels driving to the Heritage Cove Inn in quaint Heritage Cove, nestled in the snowy mountains of Maryland. Of all the novels I’ve written, Blood Speaks is one of my favorites.
