How did you come up with the Paul Madriani character?

“I don’t know. It’s a mystery. I found that to be the best line from “Shakespeare in Love” and find that it fits many of life’s situations. In throwing around names one day as I was in the early stages of outlining the plot for “Compelling Evidence”, the first of the Madriani books, the name came to me and I thought it sounded musical. It stuck and the rest is history.”
