Juneau Black | 20 Questions: COLD CLAY
Author Guest / March 14, 2022

1–What is the title of your latest release? COLD CLAY: A Shady Hollow Mystery. It’s book 2 in the series. 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? We call it “Animal Crossing + Knives Out”. Imagine a charming murder mystery, but all the characters just happen to be animals. And before you ask, no, they’re not for kids. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? We made up the town of Shady Hollow because we thought it would be a fun place for us to explore. It’s sort of the perfect, old-fashioned small town. Plus, there’s no computers or internet in our world! 4–Would you hang out with your heroine in real life? We would definitely meet Vera for coffee at Joe’s Mug and hang out in Nevermore Books. 5–What are three words that describe your hero? Orville Braun, our police bear, is brave, hard-working, and honest. 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? We learned that our detective thinks best when she’s drinking coffee or eating delicious food, which is why a lot of it appears in our books. 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done?…
