When I was a kid, I used to watch The Famous Jett Jackson on the Disney channel. They made a movie of it, and after watching it I was inspired about secret agent stuff. I really liked the idea of a real person going to an imaginary world, so that formed into a beginning idea of Double Life. Also, some of the inventions in Artemis Fowl got me to think about some of the inventions for my book. As far as movies go, Agent Cody Banks gave me some inspiration. It was really all of it combined that made me really want to go for a secret agent book. After all those years of formulating, the idea was definitely ready to come out.
