An Ace Up His Sleeve
Miami Vengeance: A Griffin Knight Conspiracy Mystery follows a detective looking for the killer of his friend whose investigation takes him into the heart of Miami and into the dark world of gang violence. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I wanted to create a reason to get Griffin out of the Windy City. In order to do that, I decided that someone needed to die at the end of my fourth book The Windy City Terror.
How did you come up with the idea for the antagonist in this story, and how did it change as you wrote?
At an early age, I was big into video games, so that helped me decide on the name and hobby of the antagonist. I knew the villain would have an ace up his sleeve…one thing led to another.
How did you balance the action scenes with the story elements and still keep a fast pace in the story?
I just did it. I can’t stand books that are novel-length for no reason, and I prefer shorter reads. By keeping each of the books in the Griffin Knight series novella length, it helps me push through and get to the heart of the story, avoiding the fluff.
I hope the series continues in other books. If so, where will the story take readers?
Since Griffin is banged up as usual, I’m sure he’ll want to cuddle with his girlfriend Samira and relax. The next Griffin Knight book will be in Chicago, but I like to throw surprises at my readers, so stay tuned for what’s next. 🙂
