What I loved about romances was the character, and I think I still bring that to my novels. What romance taught me was that the 'who' will always matter more than the 'what.' It's fun to come up with plots, but I want to make sure the reader cares about who it's happening to.

I don't know much about international policing and I would love to learn more. Especially in this day and age when the Internet is rapidly reducing borders and crime can happen on a larger scale than ever before. These things intrigue me.

Before I became a suspense novelist, I wrote romantic suspense as Alicia Scott.

Post-apocalyptic novels tell you that in the future there is some great war. I would tell you that most cops say that it's going on right now.

Women cry. Men laugh. Whiners moan. Men laugh. Wimps complain. Men laugh.

I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.

It wasn’t that strangers couldn’t hurt you. It was simply that the people you loved could do it so much better.
