If it’s fall, it’s time for suspense—at least in my publishing world! And I’m super excited about my new release, which earned a starred review from Library Journal. It’s Book 2 in my Undaunted Courage series, but no worries if you haven’t read Book 1. All of my novels can be read as standalones.   OVER THE EDGE will take you on a mind-bending journey with Lindsey Barnes, a personal chef, and police detective Jack Tucker. Lindsey’s already been through one trauma, and now she’s become the sole witness in a high-profile murder case. But someone is trying to undermine her credibility—or so she says, despite the lack of evidence to support her claims. Getting to the bottom of that puzzle is crucial for Jack as he works to identify the perpetrator in the case…and begins to fall for his prime witness. With psychological suspense galore and more twists than a pretzel, this one will keep you guessing!   O is for overboard. Not the way Lindsey planned to end her early morning sculling session—and certainly not the way she wants to die. V is for vexing. Jack’s reaction to Lindsey’s frosty attitude at their first meeting. Why doesn’t she…

1–What is the title of your latest release? NO ONE WILL KNOW 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Eve has just lost the love of her life. She is alone, friendless and pregnant. Enter Julia and Christopher, the perfect couple, who live in a beautiful mansion and want to share their perfect life with Eve. A desperate Eve accepts their offer and moves to their island, ignoring the warning bells going off in her head. By the time she realizes what she has got herself into, it’s too late to back out. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I set my books in places I would love to spend time — and who wouldn’t want to be swept away to a stunning private island off the Australian coast? I visited Tasmania as research for this novel and fell in love with its austere but beautiful landscape. I hope you will, too. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely — although I would want to give her a little advice on some of her life choices! 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? lonely, loving, courageous 6–What’s something…

1–What is the title of your latest release? A GRIM REAPER’S GUIDE TO CATCHING A KILLER 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A pregnant grim reaper has to solve a murder. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I knew I wanted this book to have a magical realism feel to it, and since the premise itself is somewhat lacking in the realism department, I felt like a generic American town would best lend itself to a grounded setting. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Absolutely, though I would be dropping subtle hints to go to therapy every hang, 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Messy, insecure, big-hearted 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? Timelines are hard! I can’t elaborate too much without giving away the ending, but there’s a reason I went with writing and stay far away from numbers when I can. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I do a bit of both. Often, I’ll clean things a bit up as I go, just the bits that jump out at and/or annoy me, and then…

Book Title: HOUSE OF FIRE AND MAGIC Character Name:  Dash Coeur de Noir   How would you describe your family or your childhood? Turbulent, but they put the “fun” in dysfunctional.   What was your greatest talent? Pissing off everyone and making them want to hunt me down and mount my unicorn skull on their wall.   Significant other? Tanis   Biggest challenge in relationships? Making them see me as something more than the Unicorn High King. I will not be controlled, and I am not a pet to be tamed.   Where do you live? In my palace.   Do you have any enemies? Far too many to count. That’s the problem with being the High King. Everyone wants my throne and the only way to get it is to go through me. Good luck.   How do you feel about the place where you are now? Is there something you are particularly attached to, or particularly repelled by, in this place? I do not tolerate court drama and/or intrigue. I’ve been known to snatch off body parts of those who try it.   Do you have children, pets, both, or neither? I’m feeling as if I should count my…

Book Title: MAKE THE SEASON BRIGHT Character Name: Charlotte Donovan   How would you describe your family or your childhood? First of all, family is a stretch. I was raised by a single mother who would rather write about murder than interact with me. You might’ve heard of her—she probably wrote your favorite thriller novel. She’s good at them, no doubt. No so good at her own progeny, as it turns out. I had the Fairbrooks though. They lived next door, and they were the kind of family lonely kids like me dreamed about. Loving. Warm. Funny. Actually asked questions about their kid’s day. Anyway, they were my family. Them and their daughter Brighton. Always have been.   What was your greatest talent? I play violin. Very well. I think that’s all I need to say on the matter.   Significant other? Good lord, how much time do you have? I’ve only ever loved one person—Brighton Fairbrook. She was family, my best friend, my first love, my fiancée. She was never my wife though. Yes, I can see you wincing. Because how does a fiancée not end up a wife? Well, when one of them leaves the other at the…

I’ve been pulling together playlists for hours for THE FABLED EARTH since the day I began to draft the book a few years ago. The contemporary timeline in this novel takes place during the 1950s. A second timeline flashes back to a summer in 1932. You can imagine the fun I’ve had with those tunes! The characters range in age and class, with some coming from wealthy northern families and others coming from rural Appalachia, and so the music ranged far and wide. I found it nearly impossible to narrow this list down to only a few songs and that’s what gave me the idea to ask some of the early readers for their thoughts. We each chose one favorite and I pulled this mini list together like a sort of group project. In these songs, we hope you’ll hear something of the haunted and heartbreaking story of Cleo Woodbine, imagine the crumbling grandeur of the old Carnegie summer mansions, delight in the folksy sounds of fiddle tunes and the storytelling of Irish crooners, and groove to the audacity of early Rock-n-Roll. And finally, I hope you love the final song, the one that I listened to most often while…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE COLONY CLUB 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When young Gilded Age society matron Daisy Harriman is refused a room at the Waldorf because they don’t cater to unaccompanied females, she takes matters into her own hands. She establishes the Colony Club, the first women’s club in Manhattan, where visiting women can stay overnight and dine with their friends; where they can discuss new ideas, take on social issues, and make their voices heard. Against the wishes of the city’s patriarchy, the religious leaders of the time, and other women who believe with their husbands that a woman’s place is in the home, even the murder trial of the century, Daisy persevered, and The Colony Club still exists today. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? Since it’s based on an actual historic event, Manhattan was the choice, but within Manhattan, I concentrated on several separate spheres, the Fifth Avenue male inhabited architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White. The uptown mansions of Daisy’s society lady friends, Greenwich Village, home of actors, artists and literary figures, and a Brooklyn working class neighborhood, 4–Would you…

1–What is the title of your latest release? THE USUAL SILENCE 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? A psychologist encounters a young patient who holds the secret to her past. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? My first five novels all take place in the fictional Adirondack town of Wedeskyull, and when I launched a new series, I knew Wedeskyull would be the setting for it too. It has a remoteness, a majesty and a drama embedded in the wilderness, that accentuates suspense. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Although Arles Shepherd has some traits that make her…difficult, as Meg Ryan called herself in When Harry Met Sally —for instance, Arles will tell it like it is even when others might tend toward politeness—she comes by these traits honestly. She has suffered trauma, and doesn’t feel like pulling any more punches, especially with men. But she inspires a wry laugh in me when she goes off, and I would totally hang out with her and cheer her on. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Bold. Brave. Bruised. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That…

Book Title: SOME LIKE IT COLD Character Names: Jasper Montgomery and Arthur Lancaster   Interviewer: Thank you for sitting down with me, I’ve never been to Lake Pristine before. I’m enjoying the small-town life for the day. It’s a beautiful place. Can I just clarify who I have with me today? Jasper Montgomery and Arthur Lancaster? Jasper: Yes, that’s correct.   Interviewer: And you’re… you’re Jasper? Sorry, unusual name for a girl. (Awkward silence for about fifteen seconds.) Interviewer: And you’re how old? Arthur? Arthur (somewhat indifferently): Eighteen.   Interviewer: Both eighteen? Okay, I’ll take that slightly intimidating look as a ‘yes’, Arthur. Ha. Um. Okay, yes. And you’ve both lived here, in Lake Pristine, your whole lives? Jasper (smiling): Yes. Arthur: Liar.   Interviewer: I— Jasper: I’m sorry, Arthur? Something to say? Arthur: You moved to the city last year. Jasper: For college! Arthur: Yeah, so you’ve been living at college for eighteen months now, Princess. We haven’t heard one word from you in that entire time.   Interviewer: So, you’re back for the holidays, Jasper? Jasper (still speaking to Arthur): I’m sorry I don’t run every decision I make past you, Grumble. Arthur: You should. You wouldn’t be…
