  The danger isn’t the stranger in the shadows—it’s the firestorm sparking between them.

  Meet Patty Wiseman

   Of all the questions I'm asked as an author, probably the most common one is "Where do you get your story ideas?"
The short answer is: Everywhere. Anything can spark a story. An interesting person I meet, a situation, sometimes in a dream and sometimes even an item of clothing can spark an idea. That's just how my brain works.

  I love research because I will invariably learn something new aside from what I'm looking for. I love fans. I have several and use them on occasion. I didn’t know until that day that there is a widely accepted fan language, the origin of which is still debated.
