It used to be “just win,” but now there's something more…Interview with the author in April, 2016:Q – The three books Twin Break, Friday Night and Glide tell a complete story, but each are self-contained. Did you plan that?A - (Laughs) I wish! The concept of Twin Break came to me in a dream. I had to write another book because the main person, Sara, was so interesting. While I was working on the sequel, Friday Night, I realized that it was actually two books. So I set aside the material for Glide, finished Friday Night, then wrote Glide.Q – Why should people read The Glide Series?A - A young person has an interesting challenge: give in to her darkest impulse, or find a way to let go and trust that things will work out. For some people it will be a real release.Q – These three books are different than your other books. Why?A – I really like suspense thrillers. In Friday Night and Glide, I was able to create a thriller inside a book where the setting is sports and the paranormal, in a coming of age, teen-to-young adult setting.Q – Are the books YA or middle grade?A – Not really. The main characters are teens, and anyone above the age of 13 can read and enjoy them, but they do have some adult language and adult situations. Twin Break starts in the teen sports realm, but in Friday Night, Sara's story becomes dark. Glide addresses traumatic childhood issues and the desire for revenge. Friday Night and Glide have a paranormal thriller conclusion, and I think people will find the Glide ending theme interesting.Q – Why basketball?A – Twin Break was set in basketball because the game of basketball moves quickly and the story moves quickly. Friday Night and Glide naturally follow it.Q – Will the series continue?A – Definitely. Sara is growing in so many ways that I may follow her story for a few more years. I'm planning to write a fourth Sara Stefan book after writing a straight thriller.Q – Anything you want to tell people about this series?A – You’ll like it because it moves fast, explores emotions and has a thrilling conclusion. And thanks for reading!

What is Sara’s secret? Only her twin brother Dave knows, and he’s not telling.Sara needs to win—she needs it. In the lightning-fast game of basketball, sometimes you have to try anything to win. When a horrible disaster strikes her team, Sara has to decide: use her secret, or suffer the bitter taste of defeat? But is it cheating?Overmatched and outgunned, her team down for the count, she only has one thought: just win, baby.Interview With the AuthorQ – This book is different in many ways. How did you think of the concept?A – The story idea literally came to me in a dream, and I have to confess that I did nothing about it for years. When it happened, I told a friend and he said, “Wow, that’s a movie or something.” I made a few notes and put it away, thinking, “Someday…”Q – The book is different than your other books. Care to comment on that?A – I really like suspense thrillers, but I enjoyed the opportunity to write a book that combined action, drama, sports and the paranormal in a sort of coming of age, teen-to-young adult setting.Q – Is it a YA or middle grade book?A – Not necessarily. The main characters are teens, and anyone above the age of 13 can read it and enjoy it, but it does have some adult language and a few adult situations. It starts as young adult sports fiction, even young adult sports romance, but it’s more about social and family issues, growing up and how we handle the facts of life.Q – Why basketball? Why not football or baseball?A – For me it would have been easier if I’d set the story in baseball—I know it better. But the game of basketball moves so quickly that it felt right to have that kind of communication between the people in the book. Also, my dream’s setting was on a basketball court.Q – Doesn’t the story world of high school basketball limit the audience?A – Maybe. But since the book goes pretty far beyond basketball, sometimes way beyond, I’m hoping that people will enjoy it, even if they don’t know the game, or they might not normally read this kind of book.Q – The game of basketball is often associated with an urban setting. Why did you put the story in a small town?A – (Laughing) It’s what I know. Actually I’ve lived in a huge city, a couple of medium-sized cities and a couple of small towns. There are a few multicultural elements, but to me, the story transcends the setting. Hopefully the people who read the book will like this setting.Q – Will there be a sequel?A – There is a sequel titled Friday Night and a third book, Glide. Since the story is about how somebody deals with her problems, and there is no limit to our problems, it's fun to see how her life develops.Q – Anything you want to tell people who read this book?A – Thanks for giving it a try. I really think you’ll like it.

They're after her, too.It all comes down to Friday Night.This interview with the author was conducted in February, 2016.Q – Following your novel Twin Break, this is another book that's different in several ways. How did you think of the story idea?A - This story was a natural sequel idea. As I mentioned elsewhere, the concept of Twin Break came to me in a dream. I had to write another book because Sara, the main person, was so interesting.Q – You've branched out from your other books. Why?A – I really like suspense thrillers. In this book, Friday Night, I was able to create a thriller inside a book where the setting is sports, and the paranormal, in a sort of coming of age, teen-to-young adult setting. So actually, Friday Night is a lot like those suspense thrillers I've written before.Q – Is it a YA or middle grade book?A – Not this one. The main characters are teens, and anyone above the age of 13 can read it and enjoy it, but it does have some adult language and adult situations. It starts as YA sports romance, but moves to a paranormal thriller as the book progresses. It still has some scenes about social and family issues, growing up and how we handle the facts of life.Q – Why basketball?A – Twin Break is set in basketball, the game of basketball moves quickly and the story moves quickly. It felt right to have that kind of communication between the people in the book.Q – Doesn’t the story world of high school basketball limit the audience?A – The book goes pretty far beyond high school basketball, sometimes way beyond. There is a little less emphasis on basketball in this book.Q – Will there be another sequel? How about a series?A – Definitely. Sara is growing in so many ways I may follow her story for a few more years. I'm working on the third book now.Q – Anything you want to tell people who might read this book?A – You’ll like it because it moves fast, explores emotions and has a thrilling conclusion. Thanks for giving it a try.

If you could read minds, would you seek justice?

While I was working on the sequel, Friday Night, I realized that it was actually two books. So I set aside the material for Glide and finished Friday Night.Q – That must have made writing Glide easier.A - In a way, it was harder. I found that rewriting story parts intended for one book, then adapted to a different book, was a lot harder than just writing them fresh. It was an experience, anyway.Q – Why would people want to read Glide?A - A young person has an interesting challenge: give in to her darkest impulse, or find a way to break through fear into the light, let go and trust that things will work out. It's a compelling story. For some people it will be a real release.Q – With these three books, you've branched out from your other books. Why?A – I really like suspense thrillers.

Friday Night and Glide naturally follow it.Q – Doesn’t the story world of high school basketball limit the audience?A – Possibly, but the books go pretty far beyond high school basketball, especially Glide.Q – Will the series continue?A – Definitely. Sara is growing in so many ways that I may follow her story for a few more years. I'm planning to write a fourth Sara Stefan book after writing a thriller set in current political events.Q – Anything you want to tell people who might read this book?A – You’ll like it because it moves fast, explores emotions and has a thrilling conclusion.
