is the first in a series of
"Clan of MacAulay"written by R.S. Guthrie
You write a crime novel - is your writing from experiences that you have had or did you just totally come up with the plot out of the blue?
Where did you do your research? Online. People would be surprised at how much you can learn about police departments, procedures, uniforms, death row, etc. by reading everything you can on the various websites. I also read a lot of detective fiction and love that genre in movies and television. I pay close attention!
How did you develop your characters for this story? Are they people you know, maybe yourself?
How long did you work on this novel before you published it? I started it in 2001 and then walked away from it for ten years. It was about 20% complete. When I picked it back up in 2011 and decided to finish it, the last 80% took me about three months.
Have you written other crime novels? If so what are they? If not, do you have plans to?I am currently working on the sequel, ”LOST”. It will be out by Christmas. I am also working on another police story, this one set in Wyoming with a small town sheriff entitled “Dark Prairies”. That book is due out the first part of 2012.

Story Blurb from back of book:
After the man who ruined his leg and killed his first partner is executed, Macaulay becomes the lead detective investigating the Sloan's Lake murders. The method of killing in this double-homicide is so heinous it leads Macaulay and his partner down an ever-darkening path--one that must be traversed if they are to discover the evil forces behind the slaughter.
Just when Bobby Macaulay is questioning the very career that has been his salvation, he will discover a heroic history buried within his own family roots: The Clan MacAulay--a deep family lineage of protectors at the very core of a millenniums-long war against unimaginable evil.
