She’s a woman, she’s hot, and she’s probably a spy.

Uh, SOLD.

If you look at my catalog of books, you’ll see Fantasy, Thriller, Horror, and comics. I’d never written a spy story before, but I’ve been a big fan of spy movies since I was a toddler watching The Spy Who Loved Me with my dad on Sunday afternoons. If I had to describe Bazine’s story in one sentence, it would be, “Female James Bond kicks butt in the Star Wars universe.”

That, in essence, is what Star Wars represents to me: A world of infinite possibility and hope that remains familiar and welcoming while presenting new surprises in the battle between good and evil. Whether I was having adventures with my Princess Kneesaa stuffy in my backyard as a kid, sewing a Queen Amidala costume in college, engineering my first lightsaber in KOTOR, getting killed by Noghri in the RPG, rereading the books while pregnant, introducing my kids to Empire before they could talk, or carrying Boba Fett in my purse to Hawaii last month, Star Wars has always been part of my life. I’m thrilled beyond words to be part of this galaxy. I’ve already got my tickets for opening night, and I can’t wait to see Bazine come to life.
