This has probably be asked a thousand times but what is the inspirations behind your books? Will you ever write one that possibly includes the Drake Sisters and their family?
Christine Feehan
It starts out with an idea for a single book. All of my books can be read as stand-alone books because that’s my approach with my writing. As I write a book, I start to see the landscape of characters, places and potential.
I’m inspired by everything around me. The wind through the trees, a man in a restaurant leaning to whisper to a woman, the way an animal moves. Anything can inspire me. My Shadow series was inspired by watching my dogs run in and out of shadows. Life around me can inspire some wild ideas in my head.
Like I said, each book is a stand-alone story. You should be able to pick up any book, as a rule, and start reading from any point in the series.

Which is great - I've read everything 'out of order.' The Dark series was backwards, middle read and sometimes jumped to the beginning read. It didn't confuse one story line. Same with all your series, Can't wait to read Savage's books!!! The dark scary places in someone's soul are worth exploring. If answers and truth are what you seek. Is your love strong enough? Is her name pronounced "Say shell?" :)

Are Lana and Alena of the 'Torpedo Ink' series close to getting books yet? Are they speaking out, wanting to be heard yet? The stories can be brutal for the members of Torpedo Ink, they have such fascinating backgrounds, and their books pull at ALL your heartstrings. I am really hoping to read a happily ever after for one or both of the female members soon. Will the women be harder to write then the men?
