Interview


Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp? 
 I want them to understand cozy mysteries don’t always end the way you expect them to end.



Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing? 
In French Cruises Can Kill You, the hardest things to keep in mind were the many characters and what they were all doing. I use a big chart for this.



How many books have you written and which is your favorite? 
I have written three mysteries , three children’s mysteries and one science fiction. I love writing mysteries.



If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why? 
I think Patricia Clarkson would be great. She was wonderful in 6 Feet Under. I need someone for my main character who has a sense of humor.



When did you begin writing? 
I was six years old. My first story was guess what? A mystery on the moon!



How long did it take to complete your first book? 
A year.



Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer? 
Agatha Christie inspired me. What a great writer!



What is your favorite part of the writing process? 
I like the dialog the best. I love writing dialog.



Describe your latest book in 4 words. 
France, ship, mystery, recipes



Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?
Currently Book 4 in Hassle High Series is called DEATH IN THE DORM. It takes place at Maria’s old college in Florida. She is asked to teach a course and of course the Nut Squad is there. It should be finished in four or five months. It will be available on Kindle and Amazon.
