I love that your novels are outside the typical standard of mystery/thriller novels. It's refreshing to read something new in the genre where you can't guess the ending until the end and Russell Quant has to be one of my favourite literary characters. Is his personality inspired by your own?

Hello Francesca,
It's wonderful to hear about how much you are enjoying Russell Quant. Thank you for that.
As far as the similarities between Russell's character and my own, I'd say 60-70% of Russell is inspired by how I approach life, most particularly in his humor, optimism, and love of travel. But in many circumstances we are quite different, mainly in how we approach relationships and careers.
Like any character I write in this or the Adam Saint series, he is an amalgamation born of many inspirations.
Thanks for the question.

Do you really see small towns as you portray Beautiful? From growing up in one, I saw that anyone who was different was shunned, gossip - YES, and 3 generation feuds over a stolen (by listening in on the 22 party-line telephone) cake recipe just before the annual Strawberry Social.
