Status Updates From Genesis (Will Trent #3)

I had almost five years to think about the first time Sara and Will would meet. There were several scenarios I tossed around in my head, but in the end, I thought it was important for them to each start at a level of respect for each other. They meet in their professional capacities: Will as a GBI agent, Sara as a doctor. What happens next brings them to a deeper level of understanding about each other—

The fact that Amanda Wagner, whose involvement in Will’s life is a slowly unwrapped mystery, has been the Great Oz behind the curtain, is only part of the story. Will is stubborn and has a long history of agreeing with the women in his life, then doing whatever the hell he wants, but I think his moral compass, his desire to be a good person, is the reason readers continue to root for him.

A lot of times authors are asked how long it takes to write a book. For me, it’s not the writing that takes the most time; it’s thinking about the characters. Will Trent was a character I thought about for three years. I liken his formation to a grain of sand turning into a pearl inside the oyster shell of my mind.
