****Laurie Buchanan’s Indelible:  A Sean McPhereson Novel, Book One is #200 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote that specific excerpt.  All INSIDE THE EMOTION OF FICTION links are at the end of this piece


Name of fiction work? And were there other names you considered that you would like to share with us?
Indelible: A Sean McPherson Novel, Book One is slated to hit the shelves April 1, 2021, and the following books in the series will come out annually thereafter. I knew from the beginning exactly what they would be titled. The hashtag for this series is #seanmcphersonnovels

What is the date you began writing this piece of fiction and the date when you completely finished the piece of fiction?
It took me two years to write the first book (2018 and 2019).                                                                                                    Where did you do most of your writing for this fiction work?  And please describe in detail. And can you please include a photo? I initially got the idea for the series while attending Hedgebrook, a rural retreat for women writers on Whidbey Island, Washington. But I didn’t start writing it until I got home. 

What were your writing habits while writing this work—did you drink something as you wrote, listen to music, write in pen and paper, directly on laptop; specific time of day?
I wake up at 4am each day and start with an hour of yoga. After that, I “clear the decks” of anything and everything that might derail my writing (dishes, laundry, cleaning, post office, grocery store, etc.). 
         
I write for five hours each day (Mon-Fri), starting at 10am and stopping at 3pm.  
If I have anything to drink, it’s water. I don’t listen to music—I’m one of those writers who prefers absolute silence. In fact, I wear foam earplugs while I work. I write directly on my laptop.
What is the Summary of
Indelible:  A Sean McPhereson Novel Book 1? A sniper killed Sean McPherson’s partner; McPherson was injured in the ambush. Now an ex-cop, he heads to Pines & Quill, a writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest, with the hopes of putting his life back together in the Zen-like capacity of groundskeeper and all-around handyman.       
Sniper Jason Hughes wants revenge. He blames McPherson for the loss of more than ten million dollars in heroin. In the guise of a New York City limo driver working on a sizzling tell-all memoir, Hughes arrives at Pines & Quill and quickly forms a plan. 
        
Unaware that his past is following him, McPherson finds himself preoccupied with Emma Benton. The moment he sees her rolling toward him in her wheelchair, she keeps rolling—right into his heart. As Hughes watches their relationship blossom, he realizes that setting his crosshairs on Emma will allow him to exact even sweeter revenge.                                                                                   
Please include just one excerpt and include page numbers as reference.  This one excerpt can be as short or as long as you prefer.                                                                     Moving with stealth, Jason reaches Emma’s crumpled heap. Her legs are twisted. She’s lying perfectly still.                                                Toeing her body over with his shoe, moonlight reveals her face spattered with mud.                                                                         Leaning closer, he knows she’s not dead because of the slight moan that escapes her lips. Straightening, he hisses a barked whisper. “Get up.”
Emma opens her eyes slowly. Sharper than his razor-edged knife, Jason knows that if looks could kill, he would be dead.
Speaking through clenched teeth. “Why do you think I use a wheelchair?”
“Oh, that’s right; you’re a gimp,” he sneers, “but it’s only your legs.”
Panther-like, he circles her.
“If I’m not mistaken, you were pulling on handbrakes during that unexpected little joy ride. Why didn’t you say there were brakes when I tried to keep us from barreling down the slope?”
“If you’ll remember,” she says evenly, “you told me to keep my mouth shut.”
Jaw jutting forward, nostrils flared, Jason bends down and backhands her across the face yet again. “Don’t get smart with me. The only reason I haven’t slit your throat is that you’re the perfect bait for what I’m catching.
“You happened to have landed almost on our doorstep. I’m taking your wheelchair in with me. If you want to use it again, you’ll have to earn it back. Since you’re only a gimp from the waist down, you can use your arms and crawl on your belly. Yes, I’d like that. And don’t try anything clever, I’ll be watching you from inside.”
Using his left arm, he picks up the damaged wheelchair chair and disappears through an opening in the mountainside, leaving Emma, mouth agape, staring after him.
* * * * *
If my legs worked, I’d run and hide in the woods. But they don’t.
Thoughts race through Emma’s mind as she tries to formulate a plan.
I can stand briefly, but Jason doesn’t know that. He’s never been present when I’ve done it. And the only place I’ve practiced in my cottage is in the bathroom when I’m brushing my teeth. Even if he’s been spying on me, he wouldn’t have seen that. I need to catch him by surprise.
She remembers playing with her brothers. They’d crawl on their bellies up and down the hallway mimicking the GI Joe character on television.
With my upper-body strength, I can do this, Emma resolves. The alternative is unbearable.
It takes a long, grueling while, but she does it. A shroud of moist darkness envelops her when she crawls inside the cave. The blackness is smothering. It’s like being buried alive, but above ground.
Emma’s breathing slows as she takes in the stale, humid air. Using the rough wall as a guide, she hears a faint dripping noise—drip, drip, drip—like dew sliding off rocks.
While her eyes adjust to the dark, a soft squeak alerts Emma to the presence of mice or bats.
The chilled air sends shivers down her spine.
Senses heightened, she smells Jason before she sees him. Whiskey.
She feels his gaze on her back.
Her brain registers the sound of a click, immediately followed by light.
“Welcome to devils canyon,” Jason says.
Turning, she sees the smile of a madman, uplit by a flashlight held under his chin.
Dazzled by the sudden bright light, thousands of bats form a cloud-like exodus, screeching as they leave a mud and blood-covered Emma hugging the ground in their wake.
Jason’s maniacal laugh echoes long after their departure.

Why is this excerpt so emotional for you as a writer to write?  And can you describe your own emotional experience of writing this specific excerpt? I captured Emma’s transition from frustration to tenacity by digging into my memory and leveraging remembered emotions:
        Frustration—as a teenager, I was told I didn’t have what it takes to drive a stick shift.
        Tenacity—I spent hours and hours sneaking out on my own to practice and finally conquered it.
        While reading the inside pages, I want readers to have a sense that good overcomes evil—sometimes at a cost—but that evil can (and does) rear its ugly head again and again (hence, the sequels).


Laurie Buchanan’s Biography:  
“I’m a writer, photographer, and avid reader. I carry a laptop, book, and a camera with me wherever I go.                                                      Growing up, I wanted to be a magician, international spy, and a mad scientist. There’s still time! I live in the Pacific Northwest with my pilot-husband, Len, and our Irish Wolfhound, Willa—the real-life inspiration for Hemingway in the Sean McPherson novels. I enjoy yoga, long walks, bicycling, and camping. I love travel and laughter. Definitely laughter! 
     I walked across Scotland, a 211-mile journey from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. At the mid-point, I climbed Ben Nevis, the highest point in the British Isles.
     My Achilles’ heel? Red licorice. I adore it!”
