1.
When
you first
begin writing
a new
book, is your main
focus on the characters
or the
plot?
I’d
have to
say it’s really a blend of both.
I approach
writing a
book without
an outline
and with
merely an
idea of
the storyline.
Oftentimes, I
don’t
even know
the identity
of the
killer until
my characters
work through
the investigation.
Both the
characters and
the plot
are strengthened
through the
editing process.
2.
Why
do you
write within
your chosen
genre?
I love
the logical
progression and
intrigue that
goes with
the mystery
genre. The
fact that
I love
to read
mysteries and
watch crime
dramas has
also made
writing in
the genre
only a
matter of
time.
3.
How
much research
do you
do? What
is your
approach?
As an
author of
police and
FBI procedurals,
a lot
of research
goes into
each of
my books.
I need
to know
how real
life police
or FBI
would handle
situations, have
an understanding
of forensics
and weapons,
as well
as a
grasp of
the human
aspect—the
interaction between
departments of
law enforcement
and within
a department.
I’m
grateful to
have contacts
from law
enforcement who
are generous
in sharing
their wisdom
and experience
with me.
4.
When
in the
day do you usually
write?
It used
to always
be the
morning, but
that’s
not always
the case
anymore.
5.
Where do
you feel
most inspired
to write?
Describe your
writing environment.
Do you
listen to
music while
you write
or do
you prefer
silence?
Oh, I
love working
in my
office for
the most
part, but
sometimes during
the summer,
I’ll
take my
laptop outside
and write
on my
patio.
I prefer
just above
tomb silent
and my
work area
is somewhat
messy with
papers everywhere…
(bows head
in embarrassment).

Remnants
All that remains are whispers of the past…
When
multiple body parts are recovered from the Little Ogeechee River in Savannah,
Georgia, local law enforcement calls in FBI agent and profiler Brandon Fisher
and his team to investigate. But with the remains pointing to three separate
victims, this isn’t proving to be an open-and-shut case.
With no
quick means of identifying the victims, building a profile of this serial
killer is proving more challenging than usual. How is the killer picking these
victims? Why are their limbs being severed and bodies mutilated? And what is it
about them that is triggering this killer to murder?
The
questions compound as the body count continues to rise, and when a torso
painted blue and missing its heart is found, the case takes an even darker
turn. But this is only the beginning, and these new leads draw the FBI into a
creepy psychological nightmare. One thing is clear, though: the killing isn’t
going to stop until they figure it all out. And they are running out of time…
The Brandon Fisher FBI series is a perfect fit for you
if serial killers and the FBI fascinate you, if you
like getting inside the minds of killers, love being creeped out, sleeping with
your eyes open, and feeling like you’re involved in murder investigations. If
this speaks to you, then join FBI agent and profiler Brandon Fisher and his
team with the Behavioral Analysis Unit in their hunt for serial killers.
