In that way, it's form of a mini-vacation for me!Deadly Intent is your latest release, can you tells us a little about it and the Mindhunters series? The Mindhunters are led by the legendary Adam Raiker, ex-FBI profiler. The troupe is staffed with some of the best criminologists in the state and they consult with law enforcement on particularly puzzling and high-profile crimes.Deadly Intent pairs forensic linguist Macy Reid and fellow investigator Kellan Burke as they run the time to get an eleven-year-old kidnap victim before her abductor carries through on his threats. Macy and Kell have a past, but they must get a way to put it behind them as they track the kidnapper through the wintry Colorado wilderness.When your not writing what sort of books do you wish to take? My favorites are psychological thrillers, suspense and romantic suspense.What character of inquiry did you do for the book/series? I can get confused in the research! I have an extensive personal library but the most valuable research I do is contacting experts. I wish to speak to mass in the area who can answer questions specific to the plot I'm writing. In the course of writing this series, I've consulted with forensic anthropologists, police detectives, and the coach of a crime lab facility. For one word I actually hiked the Willamette Forest and crawled through caves : For Deadly Intent, I consulted with a forensic linguist, an assistant manager of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, a mask maker and a forensic doctor for questions regarding a severed thumb.What are 3 things that are "must haves" for you when you sit low to save a word? I never write without a Diet Coke at hand. Although I wrote my first 20 or so books amidst chaos, I've grown used to the quiet since the kids are asleep and favor it when I'm writing. Throw in a few online bridge games before I start writing and I'm set.Do you see Mindhunters having an end or do you find it's an open ended series? The Mindhunters will end at six books. The conclusion is Adam Raiker's story and I'm writing it now.You mostly write Romantic Suspense, is there another Genre or Sub-genre you'd wish to save in? I ever thought I'd care to try my hand at Young Adult. Maybe someday.What has been your most memorable moment since become published? There have been some real highs. The three Rita nominations were great, as were the two Daphne du Maurier awards. But I don't remember anything will ever touch the feeling of getting that first call, or seeing my volume on the shelf for the start time! If you can, tell us what is up next for you? Deadly Dreams will be out in April '11, and Mortal Sins follows in August '11.
