Book Buzz – DARK SURF news & goings-on

Authors do some crazy Internet searches, particularly when writing about dark themes like revenge. Since I began writing DARK SURF, my web searches have become kind of, uh, sketchy.

While working on DARK SURF, I searched for the best ways to restrain someone against their will. Duct tape, rope, zip ties, whatever—I researched it all. For the DARK SURF sequel, I’ve researched guns that fire underwater and underwater night vision goggles (yes, these goggles do exist but are pretty expensive). I’ve also researched easy ways to break into a house and leave without a trace.

In case the NSA or some other law enforcement agency is watching, my computer should have a banner across the top of my screen that says: “I’m not a criminal. I’m simply a novelist with a dark imagination.”

Now…where did I put those zip ties?
