Behind the Scenes
This book was an experiment for me. With it, I really wanted to slam on the accelerator and write a story that simply moved a lot faster than any I’d written before. I looked at it like an action movie, one that starts off with a bang, takes off and really keeps moving. Most of my stories are mystery-driven, and while this one does have some things the characters need to figure out, it’s more about dire situations and the obstacles they have to overcome. Most of this story also takes place over the shortest timespan of any of my books so far–less than forty-eight hours–which made telling a romance particularly challenging. It was a lot of fun to try. In the end, it’s a story I hope will really keep readers on the edge of their seats wanting to see how it will all turn out.
