Power Surge is a vigilante thriller about CC Crane, a 52-year-old ad executive who targets sexual predators, only to draw the attention of a violent male-supremacist group that threatens her daughter and her own survival.
In this episode of The Thriller Pitch Podcast, Lizzie and I talk about how the story idea grew out of a male-supremacist hate group targeting her daughter’s work, the different characters and why she chose multiple viewpoints, and the research that shaped the novel.
