How did the Ghostwalkers first get your attention to write about them?
Christine Feehan
I’ve always been inspired by the courage of our soldiers. Through the years I’ve had so many family members and friends in different branches of the military. They have always inspired me and I do see them as heroes and heroines.
Specifically, for the GhostWalkers I had come across information about psychic experiments done around the world, in so many different countries, as military programs or experiments. With so many countries working on these types of programs I wondered how successful they are.
I was interested in psychic talents, how they worked and whether they really could be trained to be used as weapons. It was fascinating. And these experiments started very early on, not just recently. My mind began to ask that “what if” question – What if this actually worked? What if those talents could be enhanced? From there, the GhostWalker series was born.

I don't understand the comment above about Lana or Alena's characters not speaking loud enough for their own book yet. The next book in the series i believe is about Player. He has barely had any mentions at all and no where near the storyline Alena has. It's almost like you can say Player Who? So is the real reason simply a marketing ploy to boost anticipation for Lana and Alena's stories?

In Vendetta Road, Soleil mentioned knowing how to ride a motorcycle and even that she owned one. I know she and Ice love riding together, but will we see her riding her bike on her own like Lana and Alena at any point? Also is Brodeur a Cajun name? I just love her name all around.

Any thoughts to writing prequels or additional sequels for the Prakenskii brothers/Drake sisters? I’m sorry I just couldn’t get into the torpedo ink (like you said, it’s not for everyone). Would love to see more of the origins of their family gifts. I often reread Sea Haven and Sisters of the Heart series; ranks right there with the Rowan series for me.
