Countdownis the final book in the Extreme Measureseries. What is the connecting element for all the books in this series? The connecting element for all the books is the four heroines whomet in juvie as teens.
Willcharacters from previous books in the series make appearances in your newnovel? They do. I always love bringing backprevious characters and catching up with what’s going on in their lives. Thereaders enjoy it too.
No, each book can be read as a stand-alone. All threads are wrappedup in each book.
What wasthe inspiration for this series? I have alot of brainstorming buddies, but I have to give credit to my editor, AndreaDoering, for this idea. She threw out a little spark of an idea, and I managedto fan it into a flame that became the series.
Did youhave a favorite character in Countdown? I really love Raina. She was terrified on so many levels butdisplayed such courage to fight back against her abuser and stalker. Irespected her a lot and was thrilled to be able to give her a happy ending.
Countdownis set in Asheville, North Carolina. Why didyou choose this setting? Asheville, North Carolina,is one of my favorite places on earth. I love the mountains, I love small townson the outskirts of big cities, I just love it all. And I spend a lot of timethere. So, I often set my books in the mountains of North Carolina.
What doyou hope readers will gain from reading Countdown? I hope they willbe thoroughly entertained for several hours, and if something in the spiritualelement connects with them, then that’s always a wonderful thing.
