About the Book:

Seven days have passed since Naples real estate agent Megan MacKenna has heard from her twin sister, Madeline, who was vacationing on the beautiful, Caribbean island of St. Croix. Though authorities are not convinced there is a case to solve, Megan knows with all of her heart something happened to Maddy. When Megan receives a direct warning to leave the island or end up like her sister, she turns to the only person who has taken her seriously since she arrived, Gabe, a breakfast cook at a local diner. 


Undercover DEA agent, Gabriel Walker has been building his cover for months, waiting for the opportunity to work his way into the infamous Torrez crime ring. When Megan shows up asking questions and Gabe realizes her twin’s disappearance might be linked to the Torrez men, he has to convince her to go back to Florida before she becomes their next victim. 


The closer Megan gets to the truth, the more Gabe begins to suspect he is missing a huge piece of the puzzle. And someone is closing in on Megan…

Author Interview:

1.     Hi Sarah, read your earlier harmony run series, which is a dystopian fantasy. The current book 'The Last Vacation' looks like a thriller. Which genre do you like to write?

I like to read and write in both dystopian and suspense. I prefer the freedom of writing fantasy and dystopian because I can make my own rules in the world I create, but I like the challenge of writing suspense.

2.     I know, it's very difficult to build the plot without giving any clue till the end to make it a suspense. How do you start and organize your thoughts when writing a novel? 

I try to make a timeline and slowly fill in the events. I like to start with the big picture and build from there. So I might start with writing down some of the major plot points or themes. I write down anything that comes to mind throughout the process, from where a character was born to which ending would fit the story best.

3.     Other than writing, what hobbies do you enjoy? How would you love to spend your free time?
When I am not writing, I love to read, take photographs outdoors, and hang out with my family. If I had more free time, I’d probably sleep. But then again, I’d probably end up writing more if I had actual free time.

4.     Which travel destination do you like on any day to travel and relax?

I’ve lived in thirteen cities, within the U.S.A. and internationally, since I graduated from the university in 2001. My family goes out of town often, so if I could go anywhere to relax, I would go to my mother’s house in Indiana. I’d visit with my grandmother and mother, read, and take a lot of naps. I know…I am boring. But there is nothing like being home.

5.     Did you ever face writer's block? If so, How did you come out of it?

Sure, I’ve been there. When I am stuck and can’t figure out where my story is going or where to begin, I write poetry. It takes my mind in a different direction and gives me a moment to regroup. I also like to read in a variety of genres, especially if I am in a writing funk. Reading other stories helps me relax and refresh.

Thanks for taking time out in replying to my questions.

My pleasure. Thanks for having me!
