About the Book

The Picture Kills (A Hollywood Thriller-Book 1 of The Quintana Adventures)

When you're covered in mud, running from men with guns, and stuck in small spaces with very little clothing on, it's amazing what you can learn about a person.

Steven Quintana was once a top Army Ranger reconnaissance photographer until he made a fatal mistake on a mission. A boy was killed, and Steven's military career was cut short-all because of a photo he took.

Now he works as a paparazzo in Hollywood where his photos can't hurt anybody, the money is easy, and he can forget the past.

But when mega movie star Julia Travers is kidnapped, Steven discovers the kidnappers used photos he took to cover up the crime. Realizing that he's still harming people with his camera, he swears to fix his mistake, Rambo-style.

But-life or death situation or not-the last person Julia wants coming to her rescue is the paparazzo whose photos got her into trouble in the first place.

THE PICTURE KILLS is a fun, fresh, sexy, snappy, fast-paced thriller that starts in celebrity-obsessed Hollywood and climaxes in the exotic and remote cays of the Bahamas.



Interview with the Author

Q - Why are you writing The Quintana Adventures?

A - I write what I love to read - page-turners that I can't put down. I like thrillers with a dynamite premise, great characters, and an action-packed rollercoaster plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I also love stories with two protagonists, a man and a woman, who must work together to overcome obstacles. I also love international stories that transport the reader to amazing places around the world.

The Quintana Adventures is my way of putting all of that into one series. Steven Quintana is a kick-ass Army Ranger Reconnaissance Photographer. Julia Travers is a beautiful, talented movie star with a razor wit and a quick mind. They couldn't be more different. I then toss them into wild situations where they encounter crazy characters, and they must work together to survive.

It also makes for a rocky relationship.



SIX PASSENGERS, FIVE PARACHUTES is the sequel to THE PICTURE KILLS, but you can read the series in any order.

Q - Why the Hollywood angle?

A - Because I know it. My career has been a healthy mix of success and struggle, and I have worked with the famous, the infamous, and the bottom-feeders. My mental filing cabinet is full of experiences that I now use to write my stories.

Q - Why the California angle?

A - California has everything - the ocean, beaches, mountains, deserts, farmland, small towns and vibrant cities. Families that have been here for generations live alongside immigrants from around the world. I've lived in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and in the smaller towns of Cazadero and Lemoore. I've worked with rice farmers in Butte County, marijuana growers in Mendocino County, and Navy families in Kings County. I want to put all of this into my books.
