Welcome, Lynette, Life Flight is the first book in your new Extreme Measures series.
What is the common factor that ties each of the books in this series together?
The common factor that ties each of the books together are the four heroines.
They were in juvie together as teens. How’s that for a teaser?
How many books will
be part of this series? There are four books in the Extreme Measures
series.
What type of research
was required to portray both an EMS helicopter
pilot and an FBI Special Agent? A lot of research went into this story. I
have a cousin who is a flight nurse, and he was able to answer a ton of my
questions. He said they were employed by the hospital that he flies for, and
their base was also at the hospital. So I took that information and ran with
it. As for the FBI agent, I have two good friends who are Special Agents, and
they read each of my stories and fix all of the law enforcement stuff.
Although, I will say, sometimes I take a little bit of author license to create
an exciting read. So if a reader may say “They wouldn’t do that” about
something in the book, well, that’s on me, not them! I really do try to keep it
as accurate as possible—and think I succeed for the most part.
What is the setting
for your new novel? Mostly, it’s set in and around Asheville, North Carolina.
I visit Asheville
on a regular basis because I love the area, so it was really fun to set three
of the books in the series there. The second book is based mostly in the Charlotte, NC,
area. I lived in Charlotte
for a year, so it’s been fun to revisit familiar places. The two protagonists,
Penny Carlton and Holt Satterfield, must work through several different
scenarios in order to catch a criminal.
How did you come up
with the plot for Life Flight? This question actually made me laugh. You
wouldn’t believe the ideas I brainstormed and threw out before finally settling
on this plot line. I shudder just thinking about it, since I was SURE that I’d
never finish the book on time. But I did, thanks to some other writer buddies
who let me bounce ideas and scenes off them. And I absolutely LOVE the cover.
I’m excited for readers to get their hands on this story.
You have written over
40 books and have over 1 million copies in print. When did you first begin
writing romantic suspense novels? I first started writing in 1998 shortly
after my daughter was born. My first book with Revell was published in 2010.
What are you working
on next? I’m currently working on the next book in the Extreme Measures
series. The title is Crossfire and
I’m really excited about this story. There will be four books in this series as
well, so almost two down and two to go!
