Add in the some Janet Evanovich for mystery with humor, and Tess Gerritsen and Patricia Cornwell for more mysteries of the medical variety and you have me. I rush to read Carla Neggers, Heather Graham, Elizabeth Lowell for terrific suspense. I run out and buy David Baldacci, John Sandford, and Jonathan Kellerman for great thrillers and mysteries. Linda Howard was my first foray into reading romantic suspense and who actually was my inspiration to try my hand at writing a novel. I read so many great authors and they have all influenced me in some form or another. Who do you read? Or, who are your influences?
You know it’s good for you, but you sooo do not want to go there. Ugh! I tend to let the story drive me, but when I have to tell it where it is to go it’s rather like a trip to the dentist.
I love when something pops into your head and your characters take over and the next think you know you have thirteen pages written.
My favorite part of the writing process is getting bitten by a scene and having to write it. What is your favorite part of the writing process? The hardest? Now, in NEVER TEMPT DANGER I bring in more nanotechnology in the form of government robots, but this time there is a small amount of paranormal that slides into the story. In KILLER BUNNY HILL, the technology revolves around nanotechnology and the creation of manmade real diamonds for use as computer chips and laser weapons.ĬONNECT THE DOTS is very current in that it revolves around secret government prisons known as “black sites” and a human intelligence specialist who uses her technology skills to create wire diagrams and connect the dots in the mystery.
#MYPUBLISHER PHISHING SOFTWARE#
The heroine writes a piece of software called a trojan to get in and follow the thief’s software and then make it appear that the funds are transferred – when in fact they are not. In IT HAPPENS IN THREES, one of the characters uses software to launder money from large corporations under the guise of helping them with their network security. They pop in and out just like a good visitor does without overstaying their welcome. Each story has an element of technology in the story and because I love my characters, they occasionally show up in my other books. How does this book grow out of or differ from your earlier works?Īll of my books are techno-romantic thrillers. However, since this is my fourth book you might actually see a character or two show up from previous books. Never Tempt Danger could be a first in a series, but I write all of my books as stand-alones. This was my technology inspiration behind Never Tempt Danger.ĭo you see Never Tempt Danger as the first in a series? More importantly, I read about what DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) wanted to accomplish with small, robots that had to be able to change shape.
#MYPUBLISHER PHISHING HOW TO#
I read all about how to make them work and program. I actually went out and got the parts and put together a robot. Heh heh! I am what most people call a computer geek…albeit a cute one. Your own high tech background plays a role in your books, how do you incorporate your expertise into Never Tempt Danger ? It’s the learning about her own ability and the fact that others have to accept or not accept her and her gift that makes it real. Gilly learns later on that her gift goes beyond seeing people’s deaths. How do you make Gilly’s “gift,” her ability to see others’ deaths, believable? Life has romance and suspense and let it take you where it will.
I don’t know that there is a balance, but more of real-life. How do you balance the romance and the suspense in your books? Very cool! Next thing you know my heroine has a special gift. Then I read an article on brainwaves being used to play games with the aid of a technology device that reads the brainwaves and responds. As I was doing some research for the story I read about some studies the government had done on brainwaves and how they can be used/controlled for certain purposes. You’ve combined the thriller with a touch of supernatural, what was your inspiration? In every one of my books, my publisher prints something special for me called “Dear Reader.” It’s a letter from me to the readers telling them how the story came to be. It was so compelling that I pulled out a notebook and pen and wrote the scene down. Never Tempt Danger started from an image I saw in my head as I quite literally crawled into bed one night and the scene kept playing over and over. How did you come up with the idea of Never Tempt Danger ? We talked about robots, psychic powers, and writing on the deck. In her new thriller, Never Tempt Danger, the New Hampshire-based author uses her two decades of experience in computer technology to explore the killer possibilities of science – and scientists – gone bad. High tech becomes high risk in Denise Robbins’ work.
