When Killer Assignment came out in 2013, I received a letter from a reader asking me to write a book about Mark’s friend Zack. She wanted to find out more about the steady, unflappable military man who’d come to Mark and Katie’s rescue.
Most of all, this wonderful reader asked me to help Zack find the love of his life—which was an interesting challenge. Rebecca was a fun and fascinating character to get to know and I think she suits Zack perfectly. I hope you think so, too. Plus, it was great fun to be able to catch up with Mark and Katie, too.
Growing up around the world, I was fortunate to get to know several military families, and to spend time with people who’ve served in the American, British and Canadian militaries. Their dedication and determination inspired me, as did the strength of their families.
While there are several decommissioned military bases dotting Canada, the base at Remi Lake is entirely fictional, as are some of the details surrounding the Canadian special ops. I’m very thankful for my history buff husband for helping me fill in many of the details in this book. I think he’s always been waiting for me to create a special ops hero!
Thanks to you, too, for sharing Zack and Rebecca’s story with me. If you want to get in touch, you can visit me at www.maggiekblack.com or follow me, @maggiekblack on Twitter.
As always, thank you for sharing the journey,
Maggie
