ABOUT THE AUTHOR


​​Lucille LaBossiere has always been an avid reader who loves telling her own stories. She is the author of The Switch – hctiwS ehT and Eight Hours. She lives with her husband of fifty-one years in Duncan on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

I grew up in Duncan and graduated from Cowichan High, class of 1969. I am married to Jim LaBossiere and we have two grown children and six grandchildren. We have lived in Cranbrook and Kitimat, before retiring to Terrace 15 years ago. "The Switch-hctiwS ehT" was my first book and was based on an idea that I had as a little girl. This book is dedicated to my father, George Kocurek, who passed away on 2009 at the grand age of 96.

In 2015, we came home to Duncan where I have just completed my second book, "Eight Hours" which I dedicated to my mother, Agnes. This book continues with some characters from the first, but is a different genre, being a fast paced crime thriller taking place across only one day and most of it in only, eight hours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

EIGHT HOURS

Sergeant Bill Smithe was going to die.

He knew it. The madman who kidnapped his baby granddaughter knew it. He just hoped he could save six-month-old Claire before it happened.

Bill hadn’t known when he locked Tom Lockman up for murder all those years ago that his crazy brother would eventually try to get revenge. It wasn’t just that Charles wanted Tom released. No. They both knew Charles’ real goal was to kill Bill. If he simply wanted Tom released, he would have given Bill more than eight hours to do it.

As if Charles’ short timeline wasn’t enough, Claire has diabetes, and won’t make it through the eight hours without her insulin shot. Bill must call in his entire police force to search the town and keep the rest of his family safe.

The only silver lining is a frail woman named Jenny, Tom’s wife. She’s with Charles, but Bill has a feeling she’s not there willingly, and may be the only thing keeping Claire safe. During Bill’s hourly phone calls with Charles, Jenny is able to secretly provide him with information about their whereabouts. The problem is the information is cryptic, and Bill doesn’t know if he’ll find them in time.

THE SWITCH - HCTIWS EHT

AFTER ENURING A DIFFICULT LIFE, Evelyn Parker seems to have it all-a marriage proposal from her soul mate and a beautiful eight-year-old daughter. But after her car plunges over a cliff, her life is abruptly snuffed out; her daughter, Kimberley, is sent to live with her widowed aunt. At such a young age, Kimberley has no idea how the events that soon begin unfolding will shape her future.

Aunt Beatrice, who at just thirty years old is already sporting gray hair after the death of both her husband and her sister, is forced back to work to support her niece. As she grows into a young adult, Kimberley never forgets her aunt's act of kindness and is determined to repay her. Just as she is ready to begin her career, an opportune moment not only offers Kimberley the chance to fulfill her long-held dream to show her gratitude to Aunt Beatrice, but also propels her into a relationship that will change her life forever.

In this romantic tale, a young girl begins a coming-of-age journey that eventually leads her to discover the meaning of true love.

A good read; intelligent, articulate, exciting, leaving you wanting more.
- Goodreads Review
Eight Hours was very suspenseful-I was so  sure Bill and his granddaughter Claire would die!  For a long time Charles Lockman was totally consumed with getting revenge no matter what it took. His downfall came from an unexpected source, which made me  think, no, they won't die-but, oh, maybe they would. A real page-turner.   Y.C. - R.I
It was a good story. The storyline was well selected. The author brought me into the minds of the characters. I found it hard to put down. Information was well researched too. It was a bit long but I enjoyed it.  by A. D.

Great story with good suspense throughout. Love the characters especially Sergeant Bill Smithe and the Blue Ridge Police Department. Hope to see a sequel or a series with these characters in the future.
