Maddy’s Fugitive by Kathleen Lawless

When the prison wagon transporting Judson crashes, he flees, determined to prove he is innocent of his wife’s murder.

The wounded subject of a two-state manhunt, Jud reluctantly accepts the help of the lovely Maddy, never expecting the attraction that grows between them, or what surprises their quest will reveal.

Thursday’s 3 Questions

(1) What was the spark that gave you the story idea?

KL: I always loved the Harrison Ford movie, The Fugitive. Because I love the wounded-hero-on-the-run trope, a historical version of a man wrongly accused and determined to clear his name seemed like a natural.

(2) If a movie was made of your book, what actors would be cast as the leading lady and leaving man?

KL: I would love to see Harrison Ford star in the movie version of Maddy’s Fugitive, but to appeal to a younger audience, I choose Bradley Cooper. I think Scarlett Johansson would make a great Maddy.

(3) Why do readers buy Maddy’s Fugitive?

KL: I think these reviews tell readers why they should choose this book.
