It would be a bigger story, with a bigger canvas. Would you ever consider writing a sequel to this book and if so, do you have any ideas on what you would focus on? It’s hard to make that kind of character sympathetic, regardless of what she’s been through. She was difficult because it was important that she be removed and shut off. How did you create the character Jude Fontaine, and at any point did you find it difficult to write from her perspective? I never actually saw body reading as the driving force of the book, and considered The Body Reader my working title. I just wanted a cop who was more sensitive to people than the average detective, which is how I wrote her. How did you come up with the idea of a woman who is able to “read” bodies? Many of us have found ourselves trapped in unbearable life situations that can be escaped with strength and determination. I liked the idea of following Jude’s journey as she comes back from that place. What inspired you to write about a woman who was kidnapped for three years?
