My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kathryn Dodson, author of the book Portrait of Deception. Kathryn writes about women who have to become their own heroes – whether they’re solving a crime or figuring out the next phase of their lives.
She grew up writing and riding horses in far West Texas. She graduated from SMU in English/Creative Writing and went on to get an MBA from Thunderbird and a PhD from Clemson. Now she spends her days writing about women who become their own heroes.
She has worked on both sides of the US/Mexico border and has held jobs with governments, chambers of commerce, and other businesses. Kathryn loves to Travel and has visited 30 countries and 44 states. This inspires her novels about interesting women in fascinating places.
Originally from Texas, Kathryn had the good fortune to live in Spain, Mexico, Tanzania, and several U.S. states, and the good sense to end up in Carlsbad, California. She loves travel, fiery food, hanging out with the neighbors in the front yard on Friday evenings, and reading.
In my book review, I stated Portrait of Deception is a wonderful suspense novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Margo, a photographer on her way to fame, soon finds herself entrenched in a madman’s attempt to take over first his country and then those countries around him. Although she’s hired to take photos of the despot, she soon learns that his plan includes owning her. Unless she can escape, she’ll never leave the grounds – at least not alive.
Unfortunately, Margo is not completely innocent. Can she figure out how to get free? Save her family and friends? Find a new path forward?
This is a gritty story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. But it is also character-driven enough that you cheer Margo as she learns lessons about herself and her past and makes decisions for a better future.
