Discovering My Story, Rooftop
Angels
I never know where my next story
will originate. I believe world geography connects everything around us. I was
a geo-teacher for National Geographic where we taught students 5 very important
themes: Location, Place, Human Environmental Interaction, Movement and Region. This
training brought such a love for the world community to my life that I tied it
to everything I taught, wrote and read. In my mind’s eye the earth became a
series of dominoes, balancing precariously on a shaky table where every action
forced a reaction.
So when my father gave me one of
his National Geographic magazines I found an article about the Wakhan Valley in
Northern Afghanistan. As of today I think I’ve read it some fifteen times, and
each time I’m captivated. After reading everything I could find plus watching
numerous YouTube videos about this amazing culture I just had to include them
in my Enigma Series. The things I learned about Afghanistan cemented my love of
Central Asia. Its raw beauty and ability to survive wave after of invasion
convinced me to put it on my bucket list. Rooftop Angels was born from a need
to create a journey others could share and maybe begin to investigate for
themselves, what is Afghanistan. Want to see more? Check out my blog http://www.tierneyjames.com/blog
where I investigate the amazing land nobody knows.
Blurb:
When Tessa Scott wakes with blood
on her hands in a rat infested shack in Afghanistan, she discovers six orphan
girls and the Undersecretary of State counting on her for protection. Confused at
how she got there or why a smoldering Black Hawk helicopter has crashed outside
the village, forces her into yet another adventure of cat and mouse with the
Taliban who intend to kidnap them. With the help of a Kyrgyz tribesman and his
men, they elude the danger only to discover their protection comes at a price
which involves marriage to the leader. An unexpected chance at new love
outweighs the secret Tessa must now carry forever. Meanwhile Captain Hunter, an
Enigma agent, desperately searches for her before she disappears on the rooftop
of the world. A race against time and ruthless drug lords, who work with the
U.S. government, create obstacles which change Tessa’s life in a way she never
expected.
Biography:
Tierney has been in education for
over thirty years. She recently stopped teaching World Geography for a nearby
college to pursue her writing career. Creating a workshop for
beginning writers, speaking at schools and serving as an officer in the writing
group Sleuths’ Ink, are some of the work she does when not writing. With the
creation of Winds of Deception, Tierney
is now working with one of the crew members of USS Liberty in hopes of
obtaining the Medal of Honor for him.
Besides serving as a Solar System
Ambassador for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab and attending Space Camp for
Educators, Tierney has traveled across the world. From the Great Wall of China
to floating the Okavango Delta of Botswana, Africa, she ties her unique
experiences into other writing projects such as the action thriller novel, An
Unlikely Hero, the first in the Enigma Series. Winds of Deception is the second in that series. Living on a Native
American reservation and in a mining town for many years fuels the kind of
characters she never tires of creating.

I love your enthusiasm for learning about different cultures. So you're one of those people who actually read National Geographic, huh? We never had any magazines around our house. Just books from school. Not sure how I survived during the summer months. Good think I lived in the country with lots to explore.
Good luck on your series. I know you'll do amazing cause you are one amazing woman.
Thanks, Shirley and yes I read National Geographic each month and TIME magazine almost each week. I cut out articles to save for story ideas in case I ever get stumped on what project to do next. Hasn't happened yet but I think it's because I read that kind of thing. Thanks for stopping by.
