Author Interview
What was the inspiration for ONE LITTLE LIE and for this new Pelican Harbor series?
I was at a restaurant in Gulf Shores, AL with friends. Their 16-year-old son mentioned he’d been working on a shrimp boat. He said, “You wouldn’t believe the stuff we bring up in the nets. Washing machines, other appliances, you name it.” I immediately had the image of a shrimp net hauling up a body clad in a wedding dress, and that was the nugget that started One Little Lie.
Would you tell us a little more about the characters?
I was intrigued by the idea of a main character who fled from a cult. I’m going to be curious to see if any of my long-time readers make the connection to another book I’ve written. That’s all the hint I’m giving though. 🙂 And I adore Jane. She’s small and feisty, and I love how much she’s overcome in her life.
What are you hoping readers will take with them once they’ve finished reading ONE LITTLE LIE?
The theme of the story is how easily any of us could start down a wrong road with one “little” lie. The lie told in this book was rationalized by being good and necessary for Jane’s future, but was it?
If you could sum the book up in one sentence, what would you say?
One little lie leads to a tangled web of murder and heartbreak.

If I have coffee and chocolate in hand, I’m happy! I always start with location, strangely enough. I never want one of my books to be able to be set somewhere other than where I’ve placed it. My books have a strong sense of place, and the locale helps determine the plot.
One Little Lie(Pelican Harbor #1)
By Colleen Coble
Christian Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Hardcover, Paperback, Audiobook & ebook, 352 Pages
March 3rd 2020 by Thomas Nelson
It started with one little lie. But Jane Hardy will do everything in her power to uncover the truth in this gripping new romantic suspense.
Jane Hardy is appointed interim sheriff in Pelican Harbor, Alabama, after her father retires, but there's no time for an adjustment period. When her father is arrested for theft and then implicated in a recent murder, Jane quickly realizes she's facing someone out to destroy the only family she has.
After escaping with her father from a cult fifteen years ago, Jane has searched relentlessly for her mother—who refused to leave—ever since. Could someone from that horrible past have found them?
Reid Bechtol is well-known for his documentaries, and his latest project involves covering Jane's career. Jane has little interest in the attention, but the committee who appointed her loves the idea of the publicity.
Jane finds herself depending on Reid's calm manner as he follows her around filming, and they begin working together to clear her father. But Reid has his own secrets from the past, and the gulf between them may be impossible to cross—especially once her father’s lie catches up with him.
