Why do you write the genre that you write?
It’s the genre I’ve read forever. I tried writing romance, but mysteries were more natural – not easier, but just made more sense in my brain.

Tell us how you got into writing?
When I was seven I wrote a short poem about a kite. I was hooked.

What’s next for you?
Just turned in Scottish Bookshop 7 and Alaska 3. Scottish Bookshop 6, Deadly Editions published in April, so I’m promoting that for a couple months.

What are you reading now?
The Ghostwriter by A.R. Torre. It’s great!
