For me, the classic film, вЂњNorth by Northwest,вЂќ had these elements, a classic romantic psychological suspense with action.вЂќ Mine has peaks of action, but also character development where I take readers into the heads of my characters to understand the motivations and what drives them. My books have action and danger but not the constant type as in an action-adventure story. I tend more to Hitchcock than James Bond. Hannon stated, вЂњMy novels have a heavy component of psychological suspense. Readers will always find in her books clever twists, enticing dialogue, likeable and realistic characters, a tinge of romance, and riveting plotlines. Labyrinth of LiesВ by Irene Hannon shows why she is the master of romantic suspense.
