Arlene asked Colleen Helme:

I was so excited to learn that your new Shelby Nichols book is out, Devil in a Black Suit. I just downloaded it to my Kindle Fire. I will read it right away. I have read the whole series. It is one of my favorites! I will review it as soon as I finish. Where do you get your ideas?

Colleen Helme Thanks Arlene! I hope you love it! Most of the time my ideas come after I've gone to bed, and I'm trying to get some sleep! I'm always thinking, "what if this or that happened?" How would I react? What would I do? My idea for Shelby came while I was in a grocery store shopping for some carrots. I wondered what I'd do if someone tried to rob it. That's how the story began in my head. I had no idea where it would go from there - I mean - who would have thought someone could read minds? Since then, it's been quite the adventure with Shelby, and I've enjoyed every minute. I'm glad you have too!
