Leslie Tentler's Debut Novel, "Midnight Caller"
Monday, January 10, 2011 at 11:39AM MIRA Debut Author Leslie Tentler Launches Her Dream Career
With Release of MIDNIGHT CALLER
MIRA debut author Leslie Tentler decided a few years ago it was time to get serious about her dream of writing fiction. In February, readers will be treated to the results of her dedication with the release of her romantic suspense novel, MIDNIGHT CALLER.
The novel launches a three-book series for the Atlanta-based MIRA author with a story that will keep readers turning the pages.
“I had many of the early signs of most aspiring writers,” said Tentler. “I was an avid reader and wrote short stories that I kept mostly to myself.” An Atlanta public relations professional, Tentler also wrote press materials and ghostwrote business articles as her day job. “But I always wanted to write fiction. So a few years ago I decided it was time to get serious about it. I needed to roll up my sleeves, dedicate myself to my dream and not just talk about it.”
And with the book deal from MIRA comes her first offering…MIDNIGHT CALLER.
Late-night radio-show psychologist Rain Sommers is used to the crazies who call in to rage from the back alleys of the French Quarter and the shadows of the bayou. But one caller's chilling obsession with her and her long-ago murdered mother – an iconic singer beloved among the city's Goth community – has even the jaded Rain running scared as a sadistic serial killer known as the Vampire prowls New Orleans.
FBI agent Trevor Rivette is convinced her midnight caller and the killer are one and the same. As it becomes disturbingly clear that the Vampire has a sick bloodlust only Rain can satisfy, she allows Trevor to get closer and closer. But he soon discovers that his secretive past and troubled present are intertwined – and that he may die trying to keep Rain's fate out of a madman's control.
As a writer, much of the challenge and enjoyment for Tentler was the development of her two lead characters. “These two have some real complexities. Rain Sommers has a real edge to her because of her childhood and famous mother,” said Tentler. “Trevor Rivette is coming back home to track a killer and to face his own demons of a troubled family past. He’s also trying to protect Rain yet still keep his distance. He’s trying to keep it professional. But I hope readers can feel the tension and attraction building as they delve into the story.”
A native southerner—she grew up in East Tennessee—Tentler is at home setting MIDNIGHT CALLER in New Orleans. At first she considered another southern town, Savannah, Georgia. “But as the gothic storyline developed I turned to New Orleans because of its larger Gothic community,” said the author. “It also seemed to be the right place for a serial killer known as ‘the Vampire’ to be running around.”
While MIDNIGHT CALLER is introducing readers to this talented new author, Tentler is busy working on the next book in the series.
