Why I chose to write about such a controversial subject?

After watching so many “Breaking News” reports about school shootings, I got to wondering what I would do if I was on public transport like a bus and saw a young boy acting strange, looking scared, and yet defiant. I imagined him  fiddling with his backpack in a weird manner, and then as he stood to get off at a stop near a high school, I saw a rifle barrel poking out from the bag’s flap.

In today’s world, one might just use a cell phone and call it in. In fact, that would probably be the smartest thing, but what if a person thought that it might take too long? Maybe a warning at the school would be best? Yet if the kid knew he’d been seen, would he start shooting right away?

Seriously… the more I got thinking about it, the more I knew it had to be the beginning of one of my  books. And so I wrote Special Agent Walker. In my story, Lori Page is an FBI profiler on her way to a job interview.

She deals with the situation…. in her own way.

~*~*~*~

Agent Walker drops his beloved goddaughter off at the same school where minutes later a shooter begins the devil’s work.

Lori Page, an FBI profiler, spots a boy on a bus who’s acting strange. When he disembarks, she notices what appears to be a rifle in his backpack. Suspicions triggered and her instincts screaming, she follows him into his school where all hell breaks loose.

Intrigued by the weird behavior of a mysterious beauty, Beau follows her into the school and they both find themselves at the same crime scene. He eventually pairs up with her to stop the coming violence.

After the first incident, these two are forced to work together to stop more of these bizarre school shootings.

Too bad…

Too late.

Ask yourself this. What would you do if you saw a kid on a bus acting weird… and carrying what you believed to be a rifle in his backpack?

Author’s note:

This was one of my favorite books to write.

Like everyone else, I’ve been watching the unceasing horror of school shootings. Especially in Uvalde, Texas where 22 people died (mostly children) and many more were wounded – all by an eighteen-year-old filled with hatred and carrying an AK-15.

From my perspective, I had to decide what could possibly make a teenager be filled with so much animosity that he/she could take a high-powered rifle and kill their peers or worse – little innocent humans.

I know one of the various reasons is for infamy. Yet I couldn’t deal with that properly because I could never delve into the mind of someone who would use that as a motive.

Therefore, I had to come up with a different theme that would drive someone to such lengths. Obviously, a psychopath would be able to do such destruction because they have no guilt. But then, what if that same sicko decided to manipulate others, weaklings, as possible tools to carry out their sick fantasies. How powerful would that be?

And so, Agent Walker’s story began.

As usual, I tend to deal with these awful subjects in a more lighthearted way and so there’s humor and heartwarming portions to the story.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved creating these two characters – Special Agent Beau Walker and profiler, Special Agent Lori Page.
