Tell us a little about yourself. Ive been a full-time author and storyteller since 1996. I love trail running, rock climbing and watching matinees whenever I need a break from a long day of editing.
What was your motivation behind this project? About sixteen years ago my father was on the hit list of a killer in Wisconsin. I wanted to explore that story and use it within the context of a fictional thriller to connect fiction with real life and give readers a glimpse into the minds of killers.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I wanted to take readers on a journey to look evil eye-to-eye to better understand what its really like and how disturbing it really is. Ultimately, my goal is for readers to be drawn more toward the light and more turned off from the darkness of our world, and in our own souls. But there is also hope. This ended up being my most spiritual book as well as my most disturbing one. The light shines the brightest through the darkest night.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Opening Moves gave me nightmares. Some of the scenes were just too real, too disturbing. Within the book I never glamorize evil, but the story reminded me of how fallen our world is, how fallen each one of us isand how much we are in need of a Savior strong enough to rescue us from ourselves.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I love Tosca Lees wordsmithing and Ted Dekkers gift for storytelling.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Be prepared. Since this book references actual crimes done by serial killers throughout our countrys history, it has some very disturbing images. If you like your thrillers a little less intense, try out my new series beginning with the science thriller Placebo.
