Author of Award winning Techno Thriller series, The Enigma Series, Breakfield & Burkey were a great interview!
-How did you get into writing? Each of us dived into writing from a different angle. Breakfield was Editor and Writer for school newspaper which was very controversial. Additionally, the faculty advisor for the paper was willing to allow this to go unchecked. Sales soared and popularity for each next addition spurred more creative reporting and editorials. Burkey wrote poetry for a while. She gave that up when she became way too serious and began writing technology white papers. From there to technical manuals where she worked with Breakfield. Then they both had an epiphany and decided fiction would be far more fun, especially when they could weave their technology expertise into some amazing stories. Nine books in the series with number 10 in the works.
-What inspired this book? The inspiration for writing The Enigma Dragon came from looking at how people today can potentially operate as bad actors but stay off the grid. Technology today is so pervasive and perhaps embedded into the DNA of our young, that the leap of the how and the why dark net types would want to minimize their exposure became the focus. Each story in the series has a focal point and Dragon is hiding in plain sight in our digital age.
-Tell me a fun fact about yourself. Breakfield is a techno-geek who is also a master craftsman with wood. He constructed a beautiful golden oak dining table, almost five centimeters thick, a meter plus wide and nearly 2 ½ meters long with graining that matches and makes it appear as a single piece of wood. Yep, it’s heavy. Burkey loves to sew a lot. She was honored when asked to create an original maroon formal for a serious contender of a Miss Texas Teen USA pageant. The dress consumed almost 20 meters of satin and three rolls of thread. It took 4 conference room tables to cut it out, roughly 40 hours to sew, and fit like a glove with a swirling skirt as the contender appeared to float when walking.
