1–What is the title of your latest release? UNDER THE PAPER MOON 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? Set in Los Angeles in 1948, the story follows two spies, Evelyn and Nick, who fell in love while working behind enemy lines.  When the war ended, Nick betrayed Evelyn and broke her heart.  Now they’re both back in Los Angeles working as private investigators.   When the husband Evelyn is following is murdered, she finds Nick at the crime scene.  They team up to solve one last case. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I’ve lived in Los Angeles for the past twenty years.  When I first moved out from New York, I thought it was going to be a soulless jungle of strip malls.  However, the longer I’m here, the more I fall in love with the city.  The afternoon light, about an hour before sunset, is magical and makes me feel like anything is possible.  There is nothing better than driving through Laurel Canyon, on the rare occasion when there’s no traffic, with the windows rolled down and a really good song on the radio.  And, of course, the food is incredible….
