Bill Wetterman is taking over today! Sit back, relax, and read all about his amazing new novel Room1515. Follow the rest of the Room1515 blog tour here.
Love, Betrayal, and a Female Assassin—Room 1515, A New Political Thriller by Bill Wetterman.
Pour
two ounces of the most powerful financier in the world. Mix in two
ounces of America’s most treacherous female spy. Stir in betrayal and
love. You have Room 1515!
Bill
Wetterman is a freelance writer and published author. My interest in
international politics and world spheres of influence helps me weave
stories of intrigue and espionage in international settings. The stories
I write not only could happen, but also may be happening right now. Room 1515, my international, political thriller is one.
Room1515
represents the culmination of seven years of serious writing—critique
groups, workshops and conference, and award winning contests entries.
Having learned the craft, I set out to challenge conventional thinking
with plots and themes that are controversial and sometimes dark.
Selecting my genre was easy, I’m a thriller fanatic, particularly
international-psychological thrillers with political story-lines and
aspects of romance and betrayal. Stories of anti-heroines pitted against
the flawed love interests in their lives fascinate me. My novels deal
with greed, betrayal, lust, and murder, all the things that make life
interesting.
A
female agent named Peacock goes on a mission to woo and win the heart
of the world's most influential power broker. Her job is to learn his
secrets and foil his plans. Instead, she falls in love. Room 1515 is a story of world domination, greed, betrayal, and romance.
Ever
felt unsure of the financial future and the future of the country?
Greed drives decisions, and greed driven decisions are always
short-term. Say a shrewd group of power players is manipulating
the world economy to accumulate long-term wealth. They could rule the
world. Don't fear the 1% against whom crowds protest. Fear the .0001%.
You’ll never hear their names. However, they exist. One man will emerge
to lead them.
“Room1515 is the first thriller I have ever read that relies on character
development at least as much as action / adventure. There are plenty of
close calls and lots of blood in the streets, but the most interesting
part of the novel is the main character, Peacock...” J.T. Biggs
Room 1515
Prologue
Donna
O’Connor’s shoulder hit the ground. The jolt jarred her back to
consciousness. Where was she? Where was her brother? He’d been sitting
next to her in the backseat of the car. Her dad was driving, and her mom
was cautioning him to slow down.
“Oh my God,” she screamed. “My family’s still trapped down there.”
The
smell of burning rubber filled her nostrils. She rolled up on her elbow
following the sound of footsteps back down the Virginia mountain slope
toward the bend of the highway. Heavy smoke rose up like a curtain
blocking the view of the road below. The person who’d helped her out of
the wreckage disappeared through the cloud before she could thank him.
The
screeching of an oil tanker’s air brakes hurt her ears. A crushing
impact blasted a storm of fire into the air. Molten dust and debris
billowed toward her. She sucked in a deep breath and sprawled out,
pressing herself flat against the ground. Her spine knotted at the base
of her skull, as shards of debris fell like hail around her. Something
heavy thudded close to her head.
An eerie silence followed.
For
a few minutes time seemed to cease. Then her mind snapped back to
reality, and she managed the courage to open her eyes. Rubble lay strewn
over the hillside. A vehicle’s headlight had embedded itself into the
rocky soil within a few feet of her head. She wasn’t dead or floating
out of her body. She didn’t see the lights of heaven. Daring to push up
with her hands, she inched onto her knees and stood to her feet.
Her
lips quivered as she stared down at the road. She choked back bile at
the sight. Black towers of fire and smoke billowed into the sky. Nothing
moved. Her family, her rescuer, and the people in the other vehicles
must all be dead, incinerated in the blast. Tears rolled down her
cheeks. She made no attempt to wipe them away.
There
wasn’t one visible scratch on her. Where was the God she’d prayed to
all her life? Her dad said God worked everything for the good of those
who loved Him. But everyone she cared for was gone. She heard a wail,
then realized the sound came from her, a shriek that couldn’t numb her
pain. (end prologue)

Thank you, Hilary. What a fine job. I publicize your post and let Sam Silke know it's up. I had to miss the Live Discussion yesterday. Bummer.
Thank you Bill! I missed the live discussion too. :(
Hi Hilary,
Thanks for getting your post up today.
Stormi, Lightning Book Promotions
Hello Bill - Ladies... :)
Your novel sounds great. I especially like the line: "The stories I write not only could happen, but also may be happening right now." I like my stories deep, with a lot of drama but also true to life.
Thanks Hilary for hosting.
Sam
I think you should have Phoenix straighten out the mess in the Middle East. Then maybe she could become the next female president.
Sam - That is a good line!
Thank you Sam, Stormi and John for stopping by! :D
