From First Draft to Finished Thriller: My Earliest Outline

 Before the Nashville Justice series had a name, there was a rough outline scribbled in a notebook. Lori Tolliver was just a concept then—her backstory, her brother Shaun, even her first case would evolve through countless rewrites.

Looking back, I see how much the characters grew and how the stakes got higher with each draft. The story you read today is the product of layers of revisions, feedback, and late-night brainstorming sessions.

Pulling out his thin laptop from a leather satchel Jaxon entered his password as the cover screen vaporized.   Using his right index finger he tapped on the file icon.   Pressing his thumb on the screen once more the processor took a moment to recognize it.   Seconds later the architecture plans appeared with the coordinates down at the bottom right corner.

Strategic resources were in place almost everywhere now. Even those who walked the halls of DC everyday but remained invisible to most. They were the ones who cleaned the buildings served the food yet some of them were homeless unable to put a roof over their heads. Most were eager to contribute as they had heard Senators mock the American people  over lunch conversations. Scoffing at the thought of proposed term limits they were heard whispering to one another that they would only relinquish seats over their collective dead bodies. Little did they know how many were willing to assist with that conclusion and were close in proximity.
