I'm a huge fan of romance, romantic suspense and action thrillers, and I felt there was something really missing in combining these genres. I also wanted to write really powerful female leads who, while impressive, are incredibly relatable, smart, self-reliant and gutsy.\u003c\/p\u003eQ: Who or what inspired the lead character, Samantha Wyatt?\u003cp\u003eA: Honestly, I just took what I liked most about the male leads in some of my favorite stories and turned the whole thing on its head. I started thinking, \u003cem\u003e\"What if James Bond or Jack Reacher were a woman? What if she was the head of a multinational corporation? What if she led a team of commandos--what would that be like?\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs I considered all the possibilities, Samantha became much clearer in my mind. I saw a woman with true grit, style and the kind of savvy we admire but rarely see in female characters in romance or action\/thrillers. And it makes for an intriguing question--\u003cem\u003ewhat kind of man can get a woman like that? And would she even let him?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQ: Does your series have an intended audience?\u003cp\u003eA: Sure. YOU. This series starts out as romantic suspense-driven, but it's definitely got plenty of action, thrills and a tantalizing bit of mystery. It's written from both a woman and a man's perspective, and features a really fantastic supporting cast of characters with their own unique points-of-view and personalities. Reviews have been coming in from both men and women. So I'd say anyone who loves \u003cem\u003eDamn Good Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e will enjoy this series.\u003c\/p\u003eQ: When is the next installment coming out?\u003cp\u003eA: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Two: Hell or High Water\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eis already out and available.
