One year ago, FATAL ERROR hit the stands during a very sad time for me. Just months prior, our two family matriarchs, my mother and mother-in-law, passed away within weeks of each other. It had been a summer of funerals and flowers and family visits. Tears and fears as I faced the stark realization that my husband I were now the ‘older’ generation, keepers of the family traditions and lore.
Amidst the grief, to
keep my mind busy, to dull my pain, to escape reality, I closeted myself when I
could over that sad summer and worked fervently with editors, cover-designers,
formatters and the publisher to bring the book FATAL ERROR out of the potential
world and into the real one.
My author presentations to young people top the list of the things I’m most proud of when it comes to my writing career. All my books are on the shelves of Canada’s northern young offenders facilities and in the outreach libraries of the St. Paul Alternate Education Centre.
FATAL ERROR, I tell my young audiences, is an entertaining, dramatic story that can help us develop a positive, well-rounded sense of justice that goes beyond our formal legal system of law-makers, law enforcement and the court house, although those concepts, too, are part of the story.
I explain how our sense of justice affects our personal lives. As we enter adulthood, our understanding of blame, guilt and forgiveness expands considerably from our basic black and white childhood concepts of right and wrong, good and evil. As we mature we loose our self-centred childish outlook on life and being to notice, comprehend, and empathize with the experiences and feelings of others. This helps us develop our mature sense of what is fair and empowers us to take responsibility for our own lives.
FATAL ERROR is Book 2 in the BackTracker series. However, it reads well on its own as I wrote it before I wrote THE TRAZ (originally intending THE TRAZ to be a prequel to the series). FATAL ERROR is sold as a Young Adult crime novel. Action/Adventure. A psychological thriller that also appeals to adults.
In The Traz, Katrina made some poor decisions that landed
her in a lot of trouble. The book ended with her being rescued from a biker
gang during an undercover police operation. In FATAL ERROR, Katrina (along with
the cops and the bikers) face the emotional, social, and legal consequences of their actions during their
time with the gang.
Aside from all the lessons and underlying themes, FATAL ERROR is an exciting read.
