Sometimes the best way to know a person is by asking questions, where you can learn more about what makes them tick. Let’s see who we have today.

Any children?

Cats, dogs or other pets?

What town do you live in?
– – Dixie, Tennessee

Do you rent or own?
– – Own

House or building complex?
– – A slightly dilapidated Victorian we are restoring – ever so slowly since Larry Joe fancies himself a handyman.

What is your favorite spot in your house?
– – The kitchen. It’s the only room in the house that’s completely renovated – and may be the only room that ever gets finished.

Who is your best friend?
– – Di Souther (pronounced owther, ow as in “ouch”)

Amateur sleuth or professional?

Favorite vacation spot?
– – I rarely get away for a vacation, since Larry Joe and I both own small businesses. But I’d like a return trip to Las Vegas sometime when a member of my family isn’t suspected of murder.

Favorite color?
– – For a party, gold or silver adds a touch of glam.

Favorite author?
– – I’d better say Vickie Fee, or she’ll get cranky.

Favorite sports team?

Movies or Broadway?
– – Old movies on TV, snuggled up on the sofa with Larry Joe

Are you a morning or a night person?
– – More of a night owl. I go to quite a few parties, since, you know, I plan them. I’m seldom in my office before 9 a.m.

In a few sentences, what is a typical day in your life like?
– – Coffee first, always. Phone calls with difficult vendors, crazy clients, my crazy mama; supper with Larry Joe; hanging out with Di. And, increasingly lately, helping Sheriff Dave out with murder investigations – not that he appreciates it.

You can read about Liv in Til Death Do Us Party, the fourth book in the “Liv And Di In Dixie” mystery series, coming March 27, 2018. The first book in the series is Death Crashes The Party.

Las Vegas knows how to party, and for once, event planner Liv McKay won’t be entirely behind the scenes. The Dixie gang is in Sin City to celebrate Mama and Earl’s rockin’ Elvis-themed wedding. And between juggling the botched bachelorette party and a problem-plagued soirée back home, Liv’s ready to double down on some fun.

Mama & Earl’s happily-ever-after seems like a sure thing, but all bets (and nuptials) are off when they get to the Burning Love Wedding Chapel. Their Elvis-impersonating minister has left the building . . . permanently. And even worse, Liv’s cousin, Little Junior, is suspected of his murder.

With Mama’s happy ending on the table and Little Junior about to lose it all, the stakes are higher than ever. Liv and her best friend, Di, must hit the Strip to find the real killer before he finally plays his ace. . .
