Here’s my question for Shiloh Walker: What kind of research went into creating this romantic suspense trilogy? What were some things (the crazier the better) you googled?

Shiloh Walker: Oh, there's all sorts of crazy that went into this one. But not so much online. Well...there was one really weird thing. But I can't tell you that yet. Ask me again after the book is out.

Some of the research I can tell you about? I could tell you how I ended up knocking on a cop's door at 10 o'clock at night, asking him about guns and gunshots… (he knew my husband, so I didn't get arrested.) I also went to the Louisville School for the Blind and spoke with some of the staff there, toured the museum, then went back out there to speak with the friend of somebody who worked there so I could see a guide dog in action. The inspiration for Puck. *G*

That weird thing that I googled that was…well. Weird. But I can't mention that until people read book three. Cuz it's like spoiler to the max.

Shiloh, I’m definitely getting back to you about that weird thing you googled – right after I finish book three.

Excerpt from If You Hear Her

 

“For now. Yeah.” Then he sighed. “You still insist on going to work?”

“Yes.”

“Shit.” Nudging her off his lap, he said, “Fine. I’m driving you. I’m picking you up. If anybody says one wrong thing to you, tell Puck to eat him.”

A smile tugged at her mouth. “You bet.”

“And stop humoring me.”

She wiped the smile off her face. “You bet.”

Sighing, he brushed her hair back from her face. “You’re a smart-ass, Lena Riddle.”

“You bet.” Leaning in, she pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth.

My mental picture of Puck…
