Trial and Redemption is an intriguing fantasy novel blending medical and legal fiction into the storyline. What was the inspiration for this book?

My inspirations were twofold. The first was to continue the entertaining storyline of magical suspense introduced in my first book, Chasing Time. Second, was the goal to describe to the reader the exciting, challenging, and very personal struggles of a biomedical researcher career. 

What were some challenges you felt were important to defining your characters in this story? 

As a writer, it was important for me to detail the characters’ struggles as they rebounded from their own personal tragedies. I wanted to provide a bit of magical realism in the form of the Janus key to aid them in their struggles, but not to lessen the degree of courage and persistence required to achieve their redemptions. 

When you first sat down to write this story, did you know where you were going, or did the twists come as you were writing?

At the start, I had a central plot in mind, but many twists and turns occurred to me as I was writing and rewriting.  

Will there be a third book in the Janus Key Series? If so, what can you tell readers about it, and when will it be available?

I am planning a third book in the Janus Key series. Once again it will combine magical suspense and medical fiction. No timeline is available.
