Loved Lethal Game! Been reading and enjoying all the questions and answers posted. You truly write great protagonists But Oh! You have been writing some amazingly antagonists in all the series. where do you get your inspiration? Especially for Whitney? Just when I think Whitney's warped "the ends justify the means" reasoning cant get any worse, you come up with worse! 😮

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.
Whitney is a great villain because he believes he's the one doing what's right. He thinks he's a true patriot.

I'm doing a re-read of the Dark series? I so love Carpathian books, I have read all except your last book. I love how the women are the light and goodness of the men. I hope you always continue to write the Dark series. I read the Dark series, the wings of night Maggie Shayne because they Re similar where the characters are and built on. I have also read all of Laurell K Hamilton Anita Blake series. God bless you

I think the Ghostwalkers series would be awesome as a TV series. It would appeal to women as a romance with strong female leads, the younger sci-fi and fantasy crowd with the psy/superpowers thing, as well as older men, with the political and military angle. Assuming you wrote the screenplay and had a hand in producing it, have you ever thought about adapting your Ghostwalker series for the big screen?
