Award-Winning Author Catherine Finger’s Latest in Thriller Series Offers
Genre-Defying Romance, Revenge, and Faith
Award-winning author Catherine Finger continues to shatter the limits of both suspense and faith genres
with the explosive third installment of her Jo Oliver thriller series that promises “murder with a
message,” Anchored by Death (Anchored Productions, Paperback, $14.99, June 1, 2017). She
seamlessly blends the genres of thriller, romance, and faith together in her Jo Oliver Thriller series.
Anchored by Death follows Cleansed by Death and Shattered by
Death (Grand Prize Winner of the 2015 Deep River Books’
Writers Contest) in the Jo Oliver Thriller series, and brings nonstop action with a satisfying ending.
Anchored by Death: Police Chief Jo Oliver needed a little time
to herself. But when her escape to Wisconsin turns deadly, she
teams up with FBI agent Nick Vitarello, hoping to catch the
Bow Tie Killer. Their romantic past and complicated present
leads them into uncharted territory as they match wits with a
psychopath bent on destroying everything they hold dear.
Like her heroine Police Chief Jo Oliver, DR. CATHERINE
FINGER is committed to protect and serve. But instead of
handcuffs and handguns, she uses her wit and wisdom as a high
school superintendent and church and community volunteer in
northern Illinois. Anchored by Death is the third novel in her Jo
Oliver thriller series. Learn more at CatherineFinger.com.

A Conversation With
Catherine Finger
1.
What drives Jo Oliver?
Jo Oliver seeks to make sense of her rapidly changing life and to find a place in a world that
has transformed around her. As she struggles through challenges, she experiences personal
renewal and restoration. Embracing the loving community she has built in her life ultimately
leads her to a vibrant life of faith and adventure.
2.
You’ve created a tension between your characters and how they experience
brokenness in this world. What conditions cause one to become better, and another to
become embittered by similar circumstances?
We get to choose our response to our lives and to decide who and what will shape our attitudes,
beliefs, and behaviors. My story presents exaggerated external realities that give my characters
an opportunity to choose to become better, more loving people—or not.
3.
What is your primary message conveyed in your story?
Renewal-restoration-redemption. It’s really the message of The Cross—with a few twists
thrown in!
4.
Josie seems to be faced with some overwhelming odds. Who is her main enemy and
what is her primary struggle?
Part of Josie’s struggle is with herself. She has to grow enough to shed some distorted thinking
that holds her back from becoming the woman she was uniquely created to be. The difficulty of
the journey serves to strengthen her to be able to walk into the renewed version of herself as
her personal transformation progresses. While her flesh and blood enemies include a serial
killer, she also faces periods of intense spiritual warfare.
5.
Who is going to really love this book? Is there a primary audience? Multiple
audiences, why?
I think anyone who loves a good thriller with a spiritual kick will really love this book. My
characters are gritty, imperfect, human beings grappling with the vagaries of life. I write with a
soft spot for anyone who has faced loss and found beauty in the new growth left behind as the
old grass withers away.
6.
What new twists can fans expect from book three?
Hold onto your hats Jo Oliver fans—stuff happens in book three! Anchored by Death springs
from my love of the outdoors in general and all-things Wisconsin. I kept referring to it as a
‘romp through Wisconsin’ to my friends as I was writing it and I hiked, biked, and kayaked
every route along the way. I love, love, love the ending and the surprising addition of a bold
new character—Lisa Bhatt. Writing this book was a sensory pleasure for me and I hope I’ve
conveyed the richness of the Wisconsin landscape along with the complexities of the human
heart.
