I have so many--and I'm not inspired by writing so much as I'm inspired by experiences. I really love out-of-the-box thinkers who dared to do things differently when everyone around them told them they couldn't be successful that way--so people like Stephen King, Steve Jobs, Terry McMillan, Oprah, and a kazillion others who became successful being themselves, those are the people who most inspire my life and give me energy. They make me feel like writing a series about a lie-detecting black female FBI agent who catches Russian spies and itches when people lie is not only okay, it's what I'm supposed to be doing. When I'm writing, at least in my current collection of books, the inspiration for the stories mostly comes from life and the experiences I want to share with others. Author S. D.

And there's just enough intrigue, action, twists, and thrills to keep the men interested. I wouldn't feel comfortable comparing my work to any other author's simply because I feel like I've written the books I've never read before. Other readers have compared my work to Tom Clancy but said it's easier to read (not jargon heavy) and compared J.J. to Jack Ryan. It would be easier to compare the books to TV shows--probably a combination of Scandal, The Americans, and Covert Affairs. And if you watch Suits, J.J. is probably closest to the character Jessica--but with a badge, gun, and working in FBI Counterintelligence. Author S. D.

I definitely like writing outside the spy genre and got my start writing chick lit and category romance. J.J. is a departure from that for sure, but I love the characters. The J.J. McCall novels present a fairly realistic view of how the spy world works inside the Beltway in D.C.--largely counterintelligence. So, if you like spy novels, you should really enjoy this series. Yes, it's different from anything you've read...but good different. Author S. D.

McCall when I woke up from a dream. I didn't know who the character was but at the time I had a self-imposed rule that I would not write any books based on my career. And then something said, "J.J. is an FBI Agent," to my dismay. After fighting it for a few months I decided to write the series loosely based on the agent I worked with. It was a reluctant choice just given the nature of counterintelligence which is to stay in the shadows, but I knew I'd never go back to that field, so I allowed myself to write it. Author S. D.

I'm not familiar with your work but enjoy spy books from way back when I first read Helen McInnes' books which I keep on my shelves to this day and then Robert Ludlum, especially his Jason Bourne series. So far it looks like you are staying with the current series...are you planning to branch out and do something different in the future where the FBI doesn't play such a major role? I liked the trailer and excerpt by the way and believe I would enjoy your books.Glenda H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07397229640487983800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575805996344552975.post-86994050252125109722015-03-23T13:27:48.433-04:002015-03-23T13:27:48.433-04:00Thanks!

The good thing about the series each, the main case in each book is different so you only have to read that particular book to see the end of the case. As for the, relationships? To find who ends up together in the end, you have to read through the series. Right now...I'm thinking maybe 7, but I'll go where the story takes me. If 5 feels like the end, I'll stop there. If I need to go further, I'll go further. Author S. D. Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752014054519173933noreply@blogger.com
