What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Fractured Soul?
The idea for the story came from thinking about shapeshifters. How they work. How a shapeshifter assassin could be effective by stealing other people’s identities. That turned into what happens when the shapeshifter who has stolen all these identities is suddenly free from the organization that employed him. What does he do? Try to get his life back before he was turned into a monster. But what if all the people he killed were still in him? A host of different souls that all want to have their lives back.
Thus was the character created and his story born. So this is the story of No One as he tries to become someone. To be his old self, but can he do that before all these other identities destroy him?

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
