Please give a warm welcome to fellow #RRBC #RWISA author, Gwen Plano and her newly released book, “The Choice, the unexpected heroes.” I’m very excited to have her here today!
All the characters in THE CHOICE are fictional. However, one character mimics a real person within the Rave Reviews Book Club. Permission was granted to use his name and attempts were made to mirror his concerns and interests.
In the story, General Taylor telephones Ronald Yates and explains,
“Admiral Parker and I are investigating the murder of Brad Channing and Sarah O’Brien. The details of this remain classified, but I hope you can assist with one important component.”
His tone sounds reserved, “What might that be?”
“We need certain information to reach the public. If the networks receive it, they may distort and possibly bury it. So, we ask for your help. You were a journalist, and a good one. Do you know trustworthy news avenues? Independent sources who tell it as it is?”
Now he sounds eager, “This must be a hot story. Count me in. How many contacts do you need?”
“As many as you can provide.”
Ron offers the general a running list of sources and contacts. The admiral writes down the names. At the end of this, he explains, “When they report your findings, sir, it will only be a matter of minutes before the networks pick up the story. From that point, it will no longer be your own. So, it’s important you approach this strategically. You’ll have one chance to make your point.”
“We’ve assumed as much, but I appreciate the warning.”
“If I might ask, who’s the ‘we’?”
“A small team working on the case.”
“Some of the most powerful people on the planet own the networks.”
“Yes, we’re aware. Thank you for your help, Ron.”
“I’m glad I could be of service. Brad was a fine man. The full story behind his murder needs telling.”
General Taylor says his goodbyes and looks at the admiral.
“We’ve got our contact list. Let’s put our plan in place.”

If anyone can bring down the ‘New world order’ it would be Ronald Yates. Great trailer! Congratulations on the new release Gwen! I love the idea of bringing a real person into the story. Thanks for sharing, Denise.
So true Mark:) It was a clever twist adding Ron into the story!
Thank you, Mark. I agree with you. If anyone can bring down a cabal, it would be Ron!
Hi, Gwen. How fun that you put Ron in the story! I bet he got a kick out of that. Lol
Thanks for hosting, Denise.

Happy to host John:) Yes, it was great seeing Ron in the story!
Yes, it was.
Thank you, John. His work fit with the story beautifully. 🙂
I do love the idea of unexpected heroes. We have that in us, don’t we?
I like the idea, too, Jacqui! I believe we do:)
Thank you Jacqui and D.L. I think we all have that possibility. ♥
Thanks for sharing this fact about the fictional characters…interesting! Gwen’s book is riveting but you have added another dimension to it Denise. 🙂
It is a rivating read, Balroop, i agree:) Yes, adding Ron certainly gave it another dimension! Thanks, Balroop.
Congratulations on the new release, Gwen! Wishing your the very best.
Thanks for dropping by Beem:)

It’s a delight to follow your tour, Gwen! Wishing you all the best. 🙂
Many thanks for hosting, Denise, as always.
Cheers to you both!
Happy to host:) Thank you, Natalie. Cheers right back to you!
Thanks so much, Natalie. I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the tour. 🙂
I’m happily following the tour, Gwen. I look forward to reading the book. Thanks for hosting, Denise.
Hi Linda:) I’m happy to!
Ron’s in the story? Fun! Good excerpt, Gwen❣️
Thanks for hosting, Denise!❤️
Ron’s appearance is so natural, Vashti! Always happy to host:)
What an interesting turn of events, including Ron in your story. I remember this angle happened once before with Nonnie in a story by another member.Very clever Gwen.
Thanks D.L. for hosting today.
It was clever and a perfect fit, Shirley:) I am happy to host!
Hi, Shirley! Your memory is amazing! And, you are correct…the first time I saw this clever trick pulled off was when John F. put me in his story on a trip to Genesis. Seems he’s planted a really clever seed and model for others to use.
Glad you’re enjoying Gwen’s tour!
I’m going to have to read John F.’s book and find this plant. I find this really adds some depth.
Thanks for the plug, Nonnie, but I didn’t put Nonnie in either book in the Genesis Saga. I wrote several blogs on a book tour that featured Nonnie Jules travelling to Genesis with me to interview some of the characters. They were a lot of fun to write.
Congrats to my friend Gwen for the launch of her new book!
A fun character idea, and an exciting snippet! Wishing Gwen huge success. Hugs all around!
Thanks, Teagan:) Hugs right back!
Another great stop along this blog tour! Thanks so much for hosting, Denise!
I was happy to host. Jan!
Sounds like an action-packed thrill ride. And how cool to get to use a friend in the book. Wishing Gwen all the best with this one.
It is, Staci:)
I did a double turn, Gwen, when I saw Ron Yates name in your book. It was a very bold take! Thank you, D.L., for hosting.
It was a great add to the book wasn’t it, Joy? I was excited to host:)
This is great! Well done! If you don’t hear from me in a week, my TBR list fell on me 😀
I hear you, Julie…lol.
I am very late in posting my comment. I started reading The Choice yesterday and am enjoying it. Thank you for hosting, Denise.
Hi Karen! It is a great read. I am looking forward to the final book.
Great story, Gwen! Congrats on your new book.
Thanks for dropping by Bette:)
