Margaret Daley is with us.

Dear Readers,

Please welcome the most awesome author I have had the amazing chance to meet and talk too. 

1. What genre do you read the most?

My favorite genre to read is suspense (thrillers, mysteries).

2. What genre do you inspire to write at a later point in your career?

I’m writing what I love to read romantic suspense. Since I’ve been writing thirty-five years, I’ve written in the categories I wanted. The only thing I might try and haven’t is a book like James Rollins—suspense mixed with adventure.

3. What has been the hardest point in your career so far?

After twenty books I went through an eight-year dry spell where I couldn’t sell a book. I tried quitting but writing is so much a part of me I couldn’t. Since then I’ve gone on to sell seventy-five books.

4. What has been the most interesting moment in your career so far?

Self publishing has been very interesting and I’ve enjoyed learning about it.

5. What drives you to write your books and what sparked off your passion for writing?

I’ve always been a storyteller from when I was growing up and an avid reader. One day I decided to put one of those stories down on paper. Although I wouldn’t show anyone that book, it was what got me started on the path of writing books.

6. What program has you addicted to watching it?

There are several—Arrow, Blacklist, and Games of Thrones. I do also like to watch suspense/crime shows.

7. What do you think is in store for your career in the next five years?

I have no idea. I hope writing a lot of stories.

8. Is there a book that you have re-read a hundred times?

No, because I’m a slow reader and there are so many books I want to read. My to read stack is high.

9. What is the film that you’re dying to see?

The third book in the Hunger Games.

10. How much of your day is spent on writing?

All day with occasional breaks

11. Will you do a long series in the future?

That depends on what you call a long series. I’ve got six books in Guardians, Inc. Series about female bodyguards. If I did, it might be from my romantic suspense self published series called Strong Women, Extraordinary Situations.

12. What do you want to do as your must have?

To visit Ireland and Australia.

Now let me introduce you to the wonderful book she has coming out this Christmas and its already on my buy list: 

Blurb for The Yuletide Rescue (Love Inspired Suspense, December 2014):

MISTLETOE AND MURDER 

When Dr. Bree Mathison's plane plummets into the Alaskan wilderness at Christmastime, she is torn between grief and panic. With the pilot—her dear friend—dead and wolves circling, she struggles to survive. Search and Rescue leader David Stone fights his way through the elements to save her. David suspects the plane crash might not have been an accident, spurring Bree's sense that she's being watched. But why is someone after her? Suddenly Bree finds herself caught in the middle of a whirlwind of secrets during the holiday season. With everyone she cares about most in peril, Bree and her promised protector must battle the Alaskan tundra and vengeful criminals to make it to the New Year.
