Life-sustaining prescription drugs are a trillion-dollar industry, but who really knows what\u2019s hidden inside those pills and capsules? Big Pharma has a secret and it\u2019s costing thousands of lives.

Suspense Thriller Writer James L’Etoile \u2014 The Interview<\/h2>\n

Black Label<\/em> is your latest release with a new publisher. This book is also departure from your detective novels, At What Cost<\/em> and Bury Your Past<\/em>. What prompted you to write about an amateur sleuth?<\/h3>\n

At What Cost<\/em> and Bury the Past<\/em> were straight up police procedural thrillers. Police detectives on the chase to bring down the bad guy before the next bad thing happens. I enjoy writing them and they kind of play into my wheelhouse with my former career in the California prison system.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for Black Label<\/strong><\/em> came from a session at the Book Passage Mystery Writers Conference a few years back where a few of us were talking about using fear in our work. Not the fear that you won\u2019t hit your deadline, or the fear that no one will read your book, both real, but I\u2019m talking about that base-level fear each of us have at one point or another. Fear of heights, fear of the dark, or in my case fear of being utterly helpless.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something about being helpless that scares the bejesus out of me. Maybe it\u2019s the control-freak in me, or it could stem from working in prison where you always had to be in control and be prepared for the bottom to drop out from you at any second. So, I wanted to create a character and a storyline where that kind of fear was thrust upon them. What could make someone feel helpless more than being accused of a murder when you\u2019re not sure if you did it or not?<\/p>\n

Jillian Cooper is faced with evidence that she\u2019s either a murderer or insane. I like the idea that she has to struggle through the helplessness, when the police, the press, the corporate boardroom, and her own mind are ready to take her down.<\/p>\n

\n

Suspense Thriller: Part action, part psychological manipulation to increase tension.<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

What should readers know about Jillian Cooper?<\/h3>\n

Jillian is like so many of us who devote our lives to the company, even take on the job as part of her identity. Jillian is smart, focused, and driven to succeed. Her Type-A personality is probably in response to her childhood experiences\u2014told she never measured up to her older sibling, witnessing her mother\u2019s declining mental health and eventual suicide. These all combined to push Jillian to excel and prove to herself that she was good enough.<\/p>\n

I think Jillian would tell readers that she is a cautionary tale. When you are so single-focused, spending all your waking moments emptying your life into a job, you miss what\u2019s happening all around you. Sometimes that means you sacrifice relationships, or social interaction. In Jillian\u2019s case it threatens to kill her.<\/p>\n

I think Jillian would now advocate for a work-life balance.<\/p>\n

Your career in the Criminal Justice System gives you firsthand experience with many of the situations you write about. How has your work life influenced your fiction?<\/h3>\n

I can\u2019t help but let some of that experience out onto the page. After I retired from twenty-nine years in the correctional system, writing became a therapeutic tool where I could vent some of the frustrations, violence, and tension I absorbed over the years. They may have been characters who met a brutal, justified end in a novel draft or two. (They remain forever entombed in my desk drawer\u2014may God have mercy on their souls).<\/p>\n

My stories draw upon situations and characters I encountered during my career. At What Cost<\/em> was pulled from a series of events starting with the shooting of an Aryan Brotherhood gang member while he was trying to stab another inmate. After the gang member died, the local hospital called wanted to donate his organs. It got me thinking, even though this man was a filthy, racist, gang member, would I really care where the organs came from if my child needed one to survive.<\/p>\n

Even though Black Label<\/strong><\/em> isn\u2019t a police procedural, Jillian comes in contact with prison gang elements working in the community. There have been instances where criminal organizations have secured state contracts in California and run their criminal enterprises through these business fronts. Fiction borrows from real life once more.<\/p>\n

\n

What do you wish the average citizen knew about the Criminal Justice System? What do most people \u201cget wrong\u201d about working within the prison system?<\/h3>\n

The inner workings of a prison are unknown to the general public. It\u2019s not like Orange is the New Black, or The Green Mile. It\u2019s a place where bad people go and they disappear from society\u2014literally out of sight and out of mind. Prison is a place where time stops. Men doing decades behind prison walls lose contact with the outside as the world goes on without them. They are frozen in place at the time when they were pulled from society.<\/p>\n

In a maximum security prison like the places I worked, there is a very real convict subculture, one based on power, dominance, and violence. One of my assignments was in a Security Housing Unit, the SHU. The SHU is a prison within a prison and every man in that unit earned their cell in SHU. Most were there because they murdered another inmate in the general population. For inmates like them, there is no rehabilitation, only a life of predator and prey.<\/p>\n

But, most inmates housed in prison cells across the country don\u2019t fall into that category. They may be sex offenders, gang hit men, or violent criminals of another stripe. The fact is that a large majority of these men and women are coming back home. For the most part, correctional systems do little to prepare them for return to the community. As a result, these inmates are doing life on the installment plan.<\/p>\n

A common misconception readers (and editors) have is prisons (in California) decide when to release inmates. Most states have a form of sentencing that requires release after a specified amount of time. They go back into the community regardless of their behavior in prison, no matter if they are prepared for the challenges of housing, employment and lack of support systems ahead of them.<\/p>\n

Another common belief is that all prisons are like the SHU, or Shawshank. Fortunately, they make up less than 20 percent of the population. The vast majority of inmates are housed in medium and minimum security settings, in dorms, support facilities, and camps. I once wrote a novel that had an inmate escaping from a minimum facility and walking away. The editor rejected the premise that someone could simply walk away\u2014after all they\u2019re in prison.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been lucky to connect with writers who want to get the look and feel of prison right in the written work. I held a week-long Q&A session with the Romance Writers of America\u2019s Kiss of Death Chapter and they had dozens of great questions about the inner workings of the prison and the people who enter those gates.<\/p>\n

Some of your short stories are available in anthologies. Tell us about that experience, what\u2019s it like writing shorter works?  Where can we find those books?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve been fortunate to have some of my short stories selected for a few cool anthologies. I was lucky to be a finalist for the Bill Crider Award for Short Fiction at the 2019 Bouchercon in Dallas. The short form has taught me to tighten up my prose and often what\u2019s left out of the story is as important as what on the page. I find it harder to write a short 5,000 word piece than a 100,000 word novel. You have to distill the story down into a compact space. There\u2019s no time for lollygagging about building background\u2014light the fuse and get to it!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also found that playing with short stories lets you experiment with different POV\u2019s and storylines. A recent short helped me line up a novel I\u2019ve been trying to write. Getting the characters on the page and seeing that interaction gave me a few ideas where to take the novel.<\/p>\n

A couple of the most recent published shorts are \u201cBilly\u2019s Plan\u201d in the Eviction of Hope, and \u201cBirthright\u201d in Shattering Glass.<\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/h3>\n

In July 2022, the first in a new series will debut. The first installment will be titled, DEAD DROP and it\u2019s a return to a procedural thriller. It takes place in the Southern Arizona desert where Detective Nathan Parker confronts the deadly consequences of illegal immigration and must rely on the very people he chased back across the border for his own survival.<\/p>\n

Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Writers:<\/h3>\n

Oh, Lordy. Publishing is a weird business. And it\u2019s just that\u2014a business. It doesn\u2019t care about you personally. It\u2019s very much a what have you done for me lately thing and even then, publishers have been known to change course and focus on different genres to take advantage of what\u2019s hot in the market. Rejection comes with the territory and it might sting, but when it\u2019s all said and done it ain\u2019t personal it\u2019s just business. That said, I\u2019ve met some of the nicest, most generous people in this business.  There are authors, editors, booksellers, bloggers, and readers, who make all the hard solitary time worth it.<\/p>\n

So, to a new author, I\u2019d strongly recommend you get involved in this writing community. They are an incredibly supportive bunch and you can find them in Sisters in Crime<\/a>, International Thriller Writers<\/a>, and Mystery Writers of America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Great advice! And lovely to have you back on my blog. Readers, don’t miss my review of Black Label<\/em> on July 20 as part of its Partners In Crime Book Tour!<\/h3>\n

Sleeping Corgis . . .<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Emma and Bryn are Pembroke Welsh Corgis and are certified therapy dogs. Therapy dogs are different form service dogs in that the therapy dog is focused on someone other than their owner. These two dogs give comfort and a chance to decompress to people who need that little extra support in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, group homes, and memory care facilities for seniors suffering from dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

They also really enjoy reading to the dogs, where kids at our local bookstore and libraries grab a book and sit and practice their reading skills with a non-judgmental dog. Remember how we hated to read aloud in school? Therapy dogs take the fear away. Emma has been doing therapy work for over seven years while Bryn has been at it for about two years.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s #NotMyCat. I don\u2019t have a cat, really I don\u2019t. She lived down the street and about four years ago started showing up in my house. In the guest room bed, the living room sofa, and napping on the dog\u2019s bed.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s developed a pattern where she sneaks in the dog door (something Emma and Bryn are not too keen in doing) and camps in the house at night so she can meet me for early morning coffee. The owner has moved away, but #NotMycat remains here bringing me the occasional bird and mouse parts as rent, I suppose.<\/p>\n
