Behind the Series: The Dogs of The K-9 Alaska Series
When I sold the first book in my K-9 Alaska series, K-9 DEFENSE, I had no idea that it would turn into a series. But by the time I finished writing the story, I knew I wanted to write more.

Behind the Series: The Lawmen: Bullets and Brawn Series
Back when I wrote the original Lawmen series (DISARMING DETECTIVE, SEDUCED BY THE SNIPER and SWAT SECRET ADMIRER), I knew that I might want to do more spinoff books someday. The perfect person to spin off the series with was Scott Delacorte’s partner in the Hostage Rescue Team, Andre Diaz.

Author Interview

Behind the Scenes: Research for The Profiler Series
I love researching new books. I love learning details I wasn’t even looking for when I started. And when I had the opportunity to visit the FBI Academy at Quantico, I learned that I shouldn’t have worn a skirt and heels. Why? Because they let me shoot on their firing range. And although it turns out I can hit a target just fine wearing heels, it’s probably easier to brace yourself against the kick of a shotgun in flats! READ MORE
