Five Fact Thursday - Finding Euphoria, By C. Becker #mystery #romance #secretpast

Finding Euphoria –the first book in the Euphoria trilogy

Thank you Kryssie for hosting me on your blog today! Here are my five facts for my thriller romance novel Finding Euphoria.

1. Aparistine, the toxic chemical from the Bixa aparra plant in Finding Euphoria was originally going to be myristicin from the common spice nutmeg.

2. The title Finding Euphoria has a double meaning—the protagonist’s search to find the drug Euphoria to save her son, and also the protagonist’s journey in finding joy in her life after years of sorrow and regret from giving up her baby for adoption.

3. Inspiration for this book came from creating a drug to cure Parkinson’s disease.

4. A different Bixa aparra component (leaf, root, and flower) is the focus of each book in the Euphoria trilogy.

5. The names of one of the book’s researchers and her father collectively form the name of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.

Sneak Peak:

Her hands squeezed into tight fists. The urge was unbearable. “I wouldn’t tell her.”

Parker ran a hand through his hair. “Argh! Don’t you understand? She’d take one look at your face and know the truth. Don’t forget, you’re the one who wanted us to protect him.”

She stood. “Well, you did a hell of a fine job, didn’t you? You divorced Grace and deserted him. Parenting takes sacrifice, Parker. You were too busy changing careers, and now he’s messed up with drugs. How did that protect him?”

Standing, he reached for her.

“No. You stay away from me.” She extended her hands and backed up a step. “Justin’s dying! Dying, Parker! And I don’t know him…You won’t let me see my own son.”

He wrapped his arms around her.

She pushed him, pummeling her fists against his chest with all her strength.

He silently took his beating.

“Why did I do it? Why did I ever give him up?” She searched his face. Finding no answers, she rested her head against him and let him hold her. A dozen daggers stabbed her core. “Oh, Parker. It hurts so much. I missed his whole life. What if I lose him forever?” With as much force as she could muster, she scraped her nails deep across her hands.
