Kick Start Banner

One of the best parts of writing a series is you have time to explore the characters in a leisurely fashion. As the series progresses you learn more and more about them — as does the reader. Some of those discoveries are serious psychological insights that affect the course of the stories and the characters’ relationships. But some of them are just fun and goofy realizations. Sometimes these bits of insight make it into the books, sometimes they don’t. But for better or worse…

Five Things You Never Knew about Will Brandt and Taylor MacAllister:

1 – Taylor loves samurai movies

2 – One of Taylor’s most prized possessions is a baseball signed by Mickey Mantle

3 – Taylor outgrew childhood asthma

4 – Taylor doesn’t want to admit he isn’t exactly sure how many men he’s had sex with

5 – Taylor used to surf in high school


1 – Will was in college before he lost his virginity. To a woman.

2 – Will turned down being a sniper in the Marine Corps

3 – Will’s favorite dessert is cherry pie

4 – Will’s favorite author is Tom Clancy

5 – Will had perfect attendance all through school (he also won an award for penmanship in elementary school, but he doesn’t talk about it.)

kick startWill is finally braced to bring Taylor home to meet the folks. Unfortunately, not every member of the Brandt clan loves Taylor the way Will does. Then again, not everyone loves the Brandts. In fact, someone has a score to settle — and too bad for any former DS agents who get in the way when the bullets start to fly.
