"For by wise guidance you can wage your war"
I often get asked what was my inspiration for writing espionage thrillers with Mossad female agents. What did inspire me was Ziva David on NCIS. At the time, I had no idea who would be by female lead or what agency. I did know I wanted the stories to revolve around current events or similar.
It was during a binge session watching the old NCIS when Ziva showed up and her character enamored me. I had no idea about the Mossad or how they worked. The first discovery was they are worldwide. They operate in almost every country. So that opened a lot of story opportunities.
Next thing I found out was they liked to use female agents. Now I knew I was on the right track. But here is the interesting thing, the Mossad loves using honey traps. What is a honey trap? It is where a female agent will seduce their target and use a romantic entanglement to gain information or even assassinate the target. The katsa's (Mossad Female Agent) are notorious in this role.
So, you might ask what does this have to do with Blackbird? Get ready for Book Five, Death in the Mist, for she is going to have to use all of her feminine wiles to eliminate one of the most ruthless enemies she has ever faced! Look for it late April.
On the meantime, you can dive into Edge of the Storm ..

Shred the Truth, Sell the Lies
That is the tag line from Berlin Station.
If you like spy thrillers, that are not loaded with gun fights and alpha males strutting all over the place then this TV series is for you.
What I've enjoyed about it is that starting in season 2 & 3, the women in the various agencies started flashing their intellect and savvy with spy craft.
The series is well acted, good writing with some intriguing twist and turns. I call this more of a thinking persons spy thriller.
As one that writes this genre, they have given me some interesting ideas for future books.

Review of Whispered Lies
Whispered Lies by Kathleen BrooksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Solid, well written story. The author creates a thriller with good characters and some interesting twist and turns. My only issue was the pace. For me, it was a bit slow but that is more me than the story line. Otherwise, a well worth read.

The Originals Ends
Last night I finished binge watching The Originals.
I will admit to be a slobbering crying fool at the end of Season 5 (the last season too). If you not familiar with the show, it is a spin-off of The Vampire Series, which I have not watched.
Overall, it was a good series. I did not like Season 2, due the constant anger threaded through each episode. For me it got tedious. Season's 4 & 5 were well crafted.
We are not done though, Hope (the daughter of two main characters), will spin off Legacies starting 10/25.
It is not often when the end of a show haunts me like this one has ...
