Goodreads asked Debbi Mack:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Debbi Mack The idea for the book I plan to publish soon came to me after watching a TV special about Yosemite Park and how it's located over a supervolcano. I was also inspired by another TV special about a scientist who challenged Einstein's theory that the speed of light is a constant. I ended up reading the scientist's book, in which there was a footnote that suggested a possible storyline for a thriller. Somehow, I mashed the two concepts together and ended up with a thriller within a thriller (or a meta-thriller, I guess).

I tried to do this without getting really technical or using lots of jargon. I find books like that tend to bore me. I'm much more interested in the characters and how they choose to handle obstacles and adversity. Hopefully, I managed to do that with this novel.
