1–What is the title of your latest release? DIAL M FOR MEOW 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When Christy reaches her aunt’s bookshop, instead of small-town hospitality she finds a dead body! Christy is determined to find the real killer and clear her aunt’s name… before her story ends in tragedy! 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I live in rural Indiana and love small town life, so I chose fictional Green Meadow, Indiana as the location. 4–Would you hang out with your sleuth in real life? Yes! Christy Bailey would be totally fun to hang out with, even though we’d probably get into some kind of trouble. 5–What are three words that describe your sleuth? Quirky, Funny, Caring 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That even if you think the edits will go on forever, they’re eventually done 🙂 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I wait until I’m done with a few chapters, then do an initial edit. If I take time to edit as I write, I’m afraid I’ll lose my momentum and train of thought for my story….
