Hi Stacey,
I am so glad you are liking the Cold Harbor series. Most of the situations my characters face are based on real life, though I take creative license with them.

Researchers have hacked and taken control of cars. I watched videos of the hacked car's driver trying to control his car in the middle of heavy traffic. It was scary! Hacking into a hotel's network is something I came up with, but it wouldn't be difficult for a good hacker to do. I imagine it has even happened in the real world.

One thing everyone should know is if there is a computer - that includes things like smart phones, televisions, even refrigerators - it can be hacked. No computer or computer network is completely safe, and given time, a talented hacker can find his way around the security. In fact, I am beginning a new series where the WITSEC database is hacked and the hacker begins selling off the witness's personal information. This has not actually happened, but it is possible. It's all very scary, yet real!

I hope this answers your question and thank you for purchasing the Cold Harbor books!

I started writing straight suspense as I didn't think I could write the romance aspect. But publishers weren't buying suspense at the time so then I wrote cozy mysteries. In fact my first contract was for a cozy mystery called Nipped in the Bud. But alas, cozies weren't selling so Barbour quit publishing them. I then decided if I wanted to be published that I needed to learn to write romance as romantic suspense was selling. So I finally settled on romantic suspense. It's what I like to read and have loved to read for years. I'm so glad I put in the effort to learn the romance angle as I wouldn't want to be writing anything else!(less)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the White Knights books. I had hoped to write the other White Knight's stories but alas the publisher for the series has stopped publishing fiction so there will be no more books in that series. Sorry for the bad news.

Christine Hatfield Oh ok


message 3: by Susan

Susan Sleeman Thanks for your interest in my books, Christine! I'm always thrilled to hear from readers who enjoy inspirational and clean read books. How did you learn of my books? Could you please respond in a private message, as for some reason I am unable to locate this comment other than following the link notification sent in my email and I'm more apt to see a message than a comment. Thanks and happy reading.
