More from Loretta

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been mesmerized by the majesty of the mountains. I love log cabin vacations on the mountain top, sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch, and enjoying my early morning coffee. Low-lying clouds hang over them like a soft blanket and slowly dissipate while birds sing their wake-up songs. The perfect place to reminisce about life and dream about the future. Serene and beautiful.

One would think with my admiration of the mountain range I would accept all the mountains have to offer. Not so. Even though there are many hiking trails, I have ventured out on very few. Animals of the wild frighten me, but none near as much as a bear. I am certain every bear in the forest hides in the tops of trees, waiting for my arrival so they can pounce on me. I know it’s silly, but my apprehension is real.

What could be more suspenseful than to write a novel about Brooke Chandler, thirty-eight weeks pregnant, running for her and her baby’s life through the mountains? She must face her fears of the wild, including bears, if she wants to save her baby from the killers that murdered her husband. To make it worse, she’s in the forest alone in the inky darkness.

Handler Trent Williston and his K-9, Rex, escape the city, away from all pregnant women. He refuses to deliver another baby after a mishap with an emergency delivery while on the job. A camping trip to the mountains with Rex is his go-to for relaxation – until Brooke falls into his camp with three killers on her trail.

I hope you enjoy Trent and Brooke’s story as they face their challenges together.

Interview with Loretta

Does one of the main characters hold a special place in your heart? If so, why?

My heroine, Brooke Chandler, holds a special place in my heart because of her fear of bears and mountain wildlife. She mirrors me in that respect. I drew from my fears and allowed her city girl personality to be exposed throughout the book.

What were the highlight or key challenges you faced when writing this book?

My key challenge in this book was making sure my K-9’s behavior toward Brooke who intruded into his handler’s camp in the forest was correct. I had an actual K-9 handler read the manuscript and instruct me on the dog’s reactions and obedience level so the book would be as accurate as possible.

What is the key theme and/or message in the book?

The key message in Pursued in the Wilderness is we don’t have to fear. God is with us at all times, and he will give us the strength we need to get through whatever situation we find ourselves in. I referred to Proverbs 3:5-6.
