Where do you presently work? And why did you choose this career for
yourself?
I work within a murder investigation team, which is part of the
Metropolitan Police Service. I’ve always felt a strong sense of duty, of
responsibility for others. I don’t know where it comes from, but it’s the
reason I gravitated towards the force.
We have heard you have a reputation for being tough. Do you believe
this has anything to do with your life experiences?
Our experiences definitely shape us, but I think the desire to protect
and to serve is in my blood. My mother was a nurse and she loved her job. She
was also an avid reader and was fond of referring to her favourite authors,
especially if she had a point to make. She once said, ‘No one is useless in
this world who lightens the burdens of another.’ It’s a quote by Charles
Dickens and it’s one that stayed with me.
My expectations are high, so I demand the best in myself and
others. It’s probably where the tough comes from, but I’d also like to think
I’m fair.
You and your partner Bobby Jones, are thick as thieves throughout, Hands of Evil. What helped you two
create the bond you presently have?
I recognised the passion in him, the desire for justice. We’re a
lot alike, so I know what he’s thinking because I’m thinking it too. It happens
that way sometimes and I got lucky. We’re just in tune. He’s like my
conscience, or my sounding board.
There is a strong emotional tie between you and your childhood friends
Grace and Derek that shows up on several occasions in, Hands of Evil. Can you tell us a bit about how you met each? And
how you feel about them till this very day?
I went to school with Derek and he’s my brother in all the ways
that matter. I know I can always count on him. I was in the last year of High
school when I met Grace. She was tall for her age and way too thin, but she had
this fire in her eyes that drew people in. It still does. I complained at
first, made out she was cramping our style but she saw right through me. That
hasn’t changed either. I inherited a little sister the day we met and I
wouldn’t have it any other way.
Okay, so there is plenty of heat between you and Susannah. We are dying
to know how you met her and your first thought was?
We met through Brad Morgan, who is the better half (sorry Kel)
of Morgan and Fairchild. The moment I saw her, this petite, sexy woman with a
voice that can make a grown man cry, I knew I was in trouble!
