What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mist and Moonbeams?
Imagine growing up with the world's largest freshwater system as your backyard. I've called the shores of four out of five of the Great Lakes home, from the bustling waterfronts of Detroit and Chicago to the rugged beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and the cosmopolitan vibe of Toronto. Each move brought new adventures and introduced me to fascinating people whose lives are intertwined with these inland seas. I've woven their most captivating stories into a collection that captures the spirit of the Great Lakes.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I'm a voracious reader with an appetite for all kinds of fiction. While I used to devour biographies, these days I crave the escapism that only great fiction can provide. As for writing, I thrive in the realm of thrillers, suspense, and the unexpected. It's a playground where I can weave together elements from various genres I've enjoyed as a reader. Ultimately, whether I'm reading or writing, it all comes down to one thing: a captivating story that keeps you turning pages long past bedtime.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Currently, I'm reading Patrick Süskind's "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", with the TBR pile of Michael Crichton and James Patterson's "Eruption", Douglas Brunt's "The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel", and E.L. Doctorow's "The Book of Daniel". Doctorow's "Ragtime" was a highlight last summer, so I'm hoping for another great read.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
Mist and Moonbeams is full of very personal moments. There's a true story of me at a Chicago bus stop in deep winter when a mysterious car approached. Another recounts launching a canoe into an icy river under a washed-out bridge, wishing I'd worn a helmet. I even share the time I was knocked over in Toronto, skinning my knee - I can still show you the scars. These real experiences inspired the stories in this collection. It was wonderful to write, capture, and share these moments with readers.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I've been drinking the same coffee for 12 years while I write: Zingerman's Chemex Roadhouse Joe. The baristas think I'm nuts, and new ones always ask, "What's so special about that?" It helps me write.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
If you finish my book, and enjoyed it, there are 14 more to choose from as your next read. Thank you for reading.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Tales From Down Under?
My husband and I left our “normal” lives to spend five years moving about five of the continents. We travelled mostly by bicycle and stopped often to stay with locals; sometimes as guests, other times working as volunteers. I soon found that we were having adventures way beyond what I envisioned and wanted to share them. I started writing just to keep our friends informed, and it was their encouragement that prompted me to submit my stories to a few magazines. To my surprise they were accepted, so I continued to write for these magazines and to the people on my email list. The response was always positive—and would most often include this sentence: “When will you put it all in a book”? It took over 10 years, but I finally published a compilation of our stories in Europe (Five, Ten, or Never, Adventures in Europe) and now “Tales From Down Under”.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Non-fiction, but not necessarily travel. I like history and enjoy reading books by science writers—and perhaps that is why I include in my stories those background bits that interest me—how infant bats are “baby-sat” by teenaged bats, how they make paper from elephant dung, that sort of thing. And people—I am fascinated by other people’s stories.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
"Mapping The Darkness" by Kenneth Miller, "Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law" by Mary Roach, "When Things Go Wrong" by Bill Bryson.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
This is a tough question. I had fun writing most of the book! But if I had to choose, maybe, How to Avoid Becoming Dinner which tells the story of when human beings were occasionally on the menu in Samoa, or perhaps the piece about the horse-race in Australia. The story we were told while standing on the edge of a live volcano in Papua New Guinea was definitely interesting to relay!
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Coffee. I must have a cup of coffee by my side at all times.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
If I did, it would change every day.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That they laughed when reading it.
