What
genre do you write?
I
write cozy mysteries with elements of romantic suspense.
How
did you come to write (said) genre?
I enjoy all kinds of crime fiction, including traditional
mysteries, police procedurals, and cozies. Cozies are fun and usually
entertaining. I enjoy trying to follow the plots set forth by other writers in
hopes of identifying the culprit. And they are typically light and enjoyable
reads. Because I enjoy reading them, I
decided to try my hand at creating my own.
Who
is your favorite character to write about?
At this point in the series, I’d have to say Adina Donati.
Adina is smart and talented, and kind. She has an independent spirit, but is
willing to accept help from others.
Who
inspires your books?
No one in particular, though this series does draw a bit on
my personal experiences. I knew I wanted to write a cozy mystery and that I
wanted it to be in a “new” setting. After graduating from college, I worked in
two different think tanks, one of them in D.C. When I decided to try my hand at
writing, I wanted to create a mystery centered around a character that I could
identify with, in a setting and job that would hopefully ring true.
What
do you do when you’re not writing?
Phew.
Finally, an easy question. I love
music, almost all kinds of music. And I love to sing and go dancing with my
husband regularly.
If you were stuck on a deserted island what three things
would you take?
1. A wonderful man who knows how
to make and fix things - my husband.
2. My Kindle, filled to maximum
capacity with great books.
3. A self-renewing supply of
chocolate. (I know there’s no such thing but there should be!)
