Ik heb nog niets gelezen van Lisa, maar ben wel benieuwd naar haar idee op twee basis vragen. What has inspired you to start writing your first book? What feeling do you want to give the reader whit your books?

Lisa Gardner (hierna: LG): 'I always loved to read; as a child I read a book a day. When I was 17, it just hit me. Why not try to write a book? So I did. Yep, that simple, that crazy.'

LG: 'Hope. I write a lot about survivors, people who have been through the worst, but are now coming out the other side. There are real threats in the world, and I certainly don’t mind scaring my readers. But a great thriller is about solving the puzzle, catching the bad guy, and being the better for it. I want readers to finish the book thinking that they, too, are stronger than they think.'

As far as I know, you already 37 books written since your debut in 1992, an unprecedented high production. Maybe a bit of a cheeky question, you must do this all on your own? or do you use co-writer (s) that will help you with the development of your ideas? Who or what inspired you?. How do you do your research?

LG: 'I write my own novels. In the beginning, I wrote 3 books a year, but they were shorter. Now I write one thriller a year, which isn’t considered that fast. I research and develop my books on my own. I have to. I have no master plan when I start writing. I have a crime, generally inspired by something in real life. I know the basic investigative steps the police would follow, based upon my research with law enforcement. But who did it, what is going to happen next... I have no idea. I have to show up each day and write, write, write to get those answers.'

Hello Lisa, Not all off your books are translated by a Dutch publisher so now we are missing parts 4, 6 and 6.5 of the Quincy and Rainie series. Who decides which books may or may not be translated? Do you have something to say about that yourself or does your publisher do that?

LG: 'A Dutch publisher needs to buy and translate the book. I didn’t realize your country was missing parts of the series. That is awful! I would definitely pester Busy Bee—tell them it’s time; you need more profiler books!'

LG: 'I am consulted on covers; I’m sent an initial image for consideration. Cover selection actually involves a whole committee—myself, my agent, my editor, representatives from sales and marketing, the publisher. The poor cover artist has quite the audience to please! Generally it takes several go rounds before one graphic makes everyone happy. The cover artists are genuises in their own right; certainly it’s not a skill that I have.'

LG: 'Sharlah. Maybe because I have a daughter her age. But I also do some work with at-risk kids, and many of the issues Sharlah and her brother face are real. It’s so hard to be an awkward teen. Add to that the trauma from their childhood, issues such as oppositional-defiance disorder, the tenuous hope of adoption which is both wondrous and terrifying. She is a girl with a lot on her plate, doing the best she can. I think we can all relate to that.'

LG: 'My next novel has Flora Dane returning (from FIND HER). She is helping Boston Detective D.D. Warren work the investigation of a missing teen whose entire family has just been found murdered. Is the missing girl a killer, or the next target? They have much to figure out. As for down the road...I have a tendency to repeat characters. They grow on me and I can’t let them go.'

LG: 'The scene where Sharlah and her brother are finally face to face after so many years. Some chapters are harder to write than others. For whatever reason, that scene unfolded with crystal clarity, I could barely type fast enough to keep up. The emotional intensity. The hopes, the dreams, the lingering threat. I love everything about it.'

When you decided to write your first book, what was the first step in this journey and what was the most important one? I want to writ a children's book but i don't know how to start. The story is in my head for a couple of years now, i can write it down but than what? Compliments on your latest book by the way. It was a very good book and it entertained me for several days.

LG: 'Without a completed novel you have nothing. So what every first novelist needs is a beginning, a middle, and an end. For most, the end is the hardest part. It’s very easy to get distracted. Yet the moment you finish your first book, you are officially a novelist. Then comes the hard part, selling that book to become an author. You can’t control your first sale. You can control writing. So sit down and knock out that first story. Then you have something to talk about.'

Why did it take so many years, before writing a new novel with Pierce Quincy and Rainie Conner?

LG: 'I start my writing process with a crime, generally something ripped from the headlines. There are only so many cases that would involve an FBI profiler. So I ended up adding other characters over the years—Boston Detective D.D. Warren as most homicides fall under local jurisdiction. Investigator Tessa Leoni, county sheriff detective Wyatt, and now a vigilante, Flora Dane. I’ve built an entire law enforcement family and everyone has to wait their turn. The current book I’m writing features D.D. Warren and Flora Dane, but halfway through the novel, FBI Agent Kimberly Quincy appears as there is a piece of the puzzle that would involve the feds. So now I’m starting to mix and match as well. Why not?'
