I’m thrilled to welcome author Marilyn Meredith to the Power of 10 series. Today, Marilyn provides insight into Chief Chandra Taylor, an important character in her new release, A Crushing Death.

Here’s Marilyn!

1. Chandra Taylor is fairly new to the Rocky Bluff P.D. series, as she replaced the retiring chief.

2. Besides being a female she is also African American.

3. Though she’s had several serious relationships, she’s never been married. Chances of her finding someone interesting in Rocky Bluff are slim.

4. She came from the San Francisco police department and is suffering a bit of culture shock in the small beach community of Rocky Bluff.

5. She tried not to make too many changes right away, but there were a few that had to be made.

6. She immediately became friends with the two female police officers, a bit slower with the male officers who are more resistive to the change in command.

7. She took over the job of public information officer from Ryan Strickland—causing a crisis for him.

8. It didn’t take her long to figure out the various relationships of her officers, especially the romance between Officer Gordon Butler and Lizette Gibbs.

9. Her past comes to Rocky Bluff to haunt her in the form of someone she once arrested and is now threatening her life.

10. Reluctantly, she must accept protection from the members of her police department.
