I want to introduce you to my newest friends — Josie, Archer, and Hannah. Even more, I want you to meet Rebecca Forster who created them. You may have heard her name, you might even be familiar with her. Rebecca Forster is a USA Today and Amazon best selling author. She has written nearly 40 books, ranging from legal thrillers to police procedurals, from women’s fiction to humor. I’m just finishing her Witness Series, which tells the stories of lawyer Josie Bates, an attorney with a strong sense of justice. Her boyfriend, Archer, is a retired cop, now a part-time photographer and part-time P.I. Her new ward, Hannah, is a bright, beautiful but troubled teenage girl with OCD and a penchant for cutting herself, and is the daughter of Josie’s wild college roommate.

I can tell you that I’ve come to have great affection for these characters. Rebecca Forster brings them to life on every page with subtext that will give you moments to ponder the depth of these characters actions and, occasionally, will have you thinking, “What would I do here?”

Here’s my totally unpaid, unbiased recommendation (from an unabashed fan of her work): run, don’t walk, to Amazon, Apple iBooks, or directly to Rebecca Forster’s website to buy and read your first Rebecca Forster novel. I promise, it won’t be your last.
