If that doesn't happen, I write something further along in the book, something that I know it's going to happen. Then, I can go back and piece everything together.(less)

I get to decide on the stories I like, the covers, and, more importantly, on the price of the book for my readers.

I love that I can give readers spy thrillers that are smart, exciting, and entertaining. It’s a great way for them to escape their lives, even for a few hours, and to live vicariously through my larger-than-life heroes and heroines.
