Author Note
Have you ever wanted to blow up something? I mean, something other than your computer. I didnโt realize that I did until the day I was working way up on a hill overlooking Atlantaโs famous Spaghetti Junction where I-285 (east and westbound) and I-85 (north and southbound) intersect. I showed up on the site that morning to paint the mural on a billboard and found a team of men ready to blow up the interstate. Once I determined they were engineers who were supposed to do this and not a bunch of insane extremists I asked if I could detonate the explosion. They were like, โSure.โ Probably the most amazing thing was watching the traffic held back a mile away in every direction waiting on this because the interstates in our town are NEVER empty. It was not a huge explosion, but I did get to detonate it and take pictures with the crew. A few years later I started writing and realized that day on the hill was just the start of researching for stories, because I love to write action-adventure thrillers with a full romance woven through.
Nowadays Iโm co-writing the NYT best selling Bureau of American Defense (BAD) Agency series with #1 NYT best seller Sherrilyn Kenyon. Our first book was PHANTOM IN THE NIGHT, then WHISPERED LIES and now SILENT TRUTH is coming out April 20, 2010. Pick up a copy when youโre ready to spend a fun night all alone with a BAD boy.
