Timelines. Your books are pretty fast-paced. Do you feel that the pace of your books contributes to the tension of the “who-dun-it” aspect?

I hope so; at least that’s the goal. The readers of this genre seek and deserve a story that keeps their interest and makes them want to read more. If the mystery or underlying question of the book is wrapped in layers of boring context, they can and should stop reading it. There are simply too many great stories out there not to. So I hope they find the pace to be fast enough to support what they’re looking for in a “beach” read and give them the chance to unplug from the real world and enjoy a story.
