What was the inspiration for your latest book? This book is actually a re-release of a book that came out for the first time in 2005. I was very inspired by the thought of having inherited a shop in a state you’d never been to and that town is not the most welcoming. Throw in a murder and I was ready to roll! I love Ivy so much because she doesn’t back down no matter what.
Which of your characters do you most identify with? I have several series out and honestly I identify with pieces of every single main character and their companions. All the heroines definitely reflect parts of me at the time I was writing them. I think I’m probably more like Tallie in the Tallie Graver series than any other character though I don’t have her backstory. She’s sassy, she’s fun, and she’s a force to be reckoned with. I can be all those things and also goofy sometimes.
What’s next for your books? Ah, next 🙂 Well, I’m writing the last book in the Magically Suspicious Mysteries called Fiddle Me This, then I’m writing the next Tallie Graver, then the last Whit and Whiskers. I also have an idea for a diner mystery series, so stay tuned!
