Diane Burton asked Alison Aimes:

What was the inspiration for TRAPPED?

Alison Aimes Such a great question. Thank you for asking, Diane. I know it sounds cheesy to say, but the idea really did come to me in a dream. (I definitely didn't want to wake up that next morning, believe me!) I woke up with images of a hostile prison planet and a trapped woman floating around in my brain. (Let’s not look too deeply into my psyche on this one, ok? ☺) From those images, the story just took off and the ‘what if’s’ kept coming. What if a woman crashed on a hostile planet? What if that planet was filled with ruthless criminals? What if her only hope for survival was one of the convicts, a hardened man with a questionable past? What would she be willing to do to save herself? What would he be prepared to take? The answers ended up being action-packed and scorching hot and so much fun to write. Thank goodness for dreams!
