The Shelter was inspired by an activity in a leadership class that I facilitate. The activity makes a group decide who to keep and who to leave out of a bomb shelter.

Not really. I am unconventional, as I don’t know where the story is going until I’m almost half done.

Stephen King and Dean Koontz were my favorite authors in my 20s. Since then authors like, Harlan Coben, Karin Slaughter, and David Balducci have made an impact. I also love Caroline Kepnes and I am looking forward to her future books.
