Double Take is thefirst book in the LakeCity Heroes series. What was theinspiration for this series? I’m notsure I was inspired—more like I grabbed some writer buddies and held themhostage until we figured it out. Seriously, I have some great author friendswho never hesitate to do some brainstorming. I did want the series to stay trueto my voice and genre. With Double Take, I actually had anoutline I wrote probably three years ago. The idea came to me and I jotted itdown, but I didn’t really have a place for it. Until it was time to submit thecontract for the next series. I went back over the idea, made some tweaks, andknew that it was the perfect first book idea for this series.
