Red Door Inn Antiques

From the beginning, as I spun the tale of the first book, Deadly Keepsakes, in my mind, it was about a house. One built by an infamous Dallas crime lord in the early 1900s. A house that would speak to the arrogance and ego of a criminal. This is how I described it in Deadly Keepsakes when Tori asked David why her great-grandfather built such a big house.

“He came from nothing and wanted to be somebody. Frankie had power and made sure everyone knew it. He ran his syndicate with an iron-clad fist. Step out of line, and you’d end up dead in some back alley. This house was the social front. A place where he could entertain in grand style.”

Just as the characters took on a life of their own, so did the house and its contents. To a man such as Frankie, he would only want the best. My research into antiques has been a fun part of the plot; these are a few I have dropped into the story.

 

 

Award-winning Author Anita Dickason is a twenty-two-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department. She served as a patrol officer, undercover narcotics detective, advanced accident investigator, tactical officer, and first female sniper on the Dallas SWAT team.

Anita writes about what she knows, cops and crime. Her police background provides an unending source of inspiration for her plots and characters. Many incidents and characters portrayed in her books are based on personal experience. For her, the characters are the fun part of writing as she never knows where they will take her. There is always something out of the ordinary in her stories.

In Anita’s debut novel, Sentinels of the Night, she created an elite FBI Unit, the Trackers. Since then, she has added three more Tracker crime thrillers, Going Gone!, A u 7 9, and Operation Navajo, which are not a series and can be read in any order, and Deadly Business, a crime thriller.

As a Texas author, many of Anita’s books are based in Texas, or there is a link to Texas. When she stepped outside of the Tracker novels and wrote Not Dead and the Tori Winters Mysteries series, she set them in the small Texas communities of Meridian and Granbury, respectively.
