Writing seven murder mysteries atop each of the highest peaks of the world's seven continents is a daunting task. Mountaineering offers many opportunities for excitement and danger, and the mountains themselves are located in exotic locales, typically in remote locations. But seven books about mountain climbing could get tedious. How many times can you describe snow? Or a blizzard? A fall? The cold? It could get old very easily. Still, the concept of murder in such inherently dangerous places was too much for Chuck and I to pass up. So... the idea is to give each book a twist, a different angle and in that we've succeeded I believe. We've laid out original storylines for each book. It's an exciting enterprise and we're both looking forward to publishing the flagship of the series, Murder on Everest.
