Ulterior Motive
Posted by Literary-Titan

No Stone Left Unturned follows Stone and his companions as they search for a missing child across North and Central America. What inspired the story’s setup, and how did that help you create the ending?
More and more, we have heard of human trafficking globally, quite often, children being abducted. With my cast of protectors, the question would be, “What would you go through to get your child back?” Politics seem to get in the way of immediate actions, especially when the theatre is international in scope, so many agencies get involved (I left a dedication to these heroes). So, at the end of the book, when the Secretary of State gets shot by an armed assailant, our antagonist makes a call for Raines and the team to get involved to protect the President. Is there an ulterior motive?
What inspired the relationship that developed between the characters?
Raines, the oldest of the team, comes across as the big brother, leader, or father figure. He has dealt with all members of the team in different ways. Cameron is his equal in fighting, Michael is his son and accomplished in his own right, and Sara is a solid female component to the team, for which Raines shows much respect. He is also sensitive to the fact that she and Cameron have a child together and misses the family bond. Serina, a new member, compliments Sara.
Where do you see your characters after the book ends?
Ahhhh, with an overwhelmingly positive response to this third installment, they will all continue in book 4, The Ghost and Stone. It picks up where this book leaves off.
What is the next book you’re working on, and when can your fans expect it?
The Ghost and Stone will be out late next Spring and feature plenty of action.

The characters’ emotional journeys take center stage amid the high-octane martial arts action and suspense. As the pressure intensifies, their vulnerabilities and insecurities come to the forefront, testing their resolve and pushing some to confront their pasts. The relationships between team members deepen as they rely on each other’s strengths and support to navigate the treacherous path ahead. The tension rises with each revelation as the story hurtles toward its climax.
