Interview with Angela Carlisle: Romantic Suspense, Hope in Hardship, and Her New Release Shadowed Witness


Listen Later

In this interview with Angela Carlisle, author of the Secrets of Kincaid romantic suspense series, she shares her journey from growing up proofreading her father’s stories to becoming a “line editing ninja” and published Bethany House author. In this episode, Angela pulls back the curtain on Shadowed Witness, book two in her series, where photographer Allie witnesses a murder no one believes happened. Angela discusses weaving faith and hope into suspenseful plots, crafting characters readers love, and the deep encouragement she draws from Psalm 42. This conversation is a heart-pounding blend of mystery, romance, and the reminder that God can be trusted no matter what.

    Psalm 42:8, NKJV
    “The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.”

    Angela Carlisle’s New Book: Shadowed Witness

    A haunting attack. A killer in the shadows. A protective love.

    Murder–that’s what photographer Allye Jessup knows she witnessed as she departed her studio one evening. Waking with bruises on her neck and a foggy memory, she believes she survived an attack, but everyone seems to think she simply sustained a head injury from falling down the stairs outside her studio. Plagued by an undiagnosed health condition, she is torn between the haunting reality of what she may have seen and the possibility that her mind is playing tricks on her.

    Without proof the other victim ever existed, Detective Eric Thornton can hardly declare the area a murder scene. Still, he adds Allye’s report to his already full caseload. But when new evidence surfaces to support her claims, Eric must stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer and uncover the truth before the suspect closes in on Allye again.
