What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write They Didn’t Eat Me for Supper?
As a child of divorce who was alienated from her father, I wanted to tell the story of how childhood trauma manifests in our lives later. Sometimes it shows up as a phobia, other times it’s a physical manifestation. Either way, unprocessed trauma will emerge if not addressed.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of They Didn’t Eat Me for Supper, what would they be?
I love this question! I aways create a soundtrack for my books to keep me motivated when writing. Lennon’s song is “Grenade” by Bruno Mars. Olivia’s song is “All of Me” by John Legend.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
No. I hate fiction. LOL. I’m a non-fiction reader all the way.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Rich Bitch, by Nicole Lapin and How Women Rise by Sally Helgesen
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The scene where Lennon sees Olivia in the hospital for the first time.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I play my soundtrack while editing.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
“They can’t eat you for supper” is a phrase my mother used to say to me as a child. It means “What’s the worst that can happen?” It helps me find courage in tough times. And it’s the name of my first book.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Type One diabetics are true warriors. So many are diagnosed as children, who already have enough going on, but somehow manage to thrive despite this disease.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write On Revelation's Wall: A Frank Gould Mystery?
The story behind the story… Really? Okay, you asked.
I had an odd life. My friends asked me to write a memoir. But my life was a bit more dull than any of us thought. So I turned it into fiction, using bits and pieces of my reality to give the main character some... character. Then the first book folded into a second, the second into a third, on and on, continuing into this eighth. And now I’m working on a ninth. With three volumes of short stories that fill in some gaps.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of On Revelation's Wall: A Frank Gould Mystery, what would they be?
Theme Songs… Now you unlock my ancient DJ mastermind... For Frank, my first pick would have been “Something in the Way” by Nirvana but “The Batman” already stole that, so I’m left with a toss-up between “Do You Want to Know a Secret” by The Beatles and “Sunny Afternoon” by The Kinks (or perhaps the entirety of “Muswell Hillbillies”). For Paula Panday, no question, “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf. Melissa Berger is a harder nut to crack, musically. Probably “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper because she generally doesn’t.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Fav genre to read… Cannot lie. I do so much research for my books that I end up reading mostly non-fiction and, there, my nose can be found in certain periodicals, so I can keep up to date.
I used to read loads of thrillers and mysteries but found I was mimicking them. I don’t want to do that. I still love them, though, especially Manchette, Highsmith, Householder, Modiano and Westlake.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
My TBR… This I should skip. I gave most of my library away to my Alma Mater. (And a nice plaque they gave me in return. How sweet.) All so that I could make room for the books I haven’t read.
I have a youngish admirer in London who keeps sending me lists of books I should read that I promise I will. Actually, I read them when I was more youngish than she and they’re all in my old school’s library now, so I’m having to buy new copies and put them back on my shelves to reread them. A promise is a promise. All except The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson which I’ve not read yet. That’s TBR…
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My fav scene… I used to hate writing both sex and violence. Now that I’ve gotten the “feel” for it I am loving writing the sex scenes. I still have some difficulty getting up the nerve to sit through an entire scene of violence in one gulp. Don’t get me wrong. I can sit through an entire sequence of Avengers movies in one night without a blink. It’s trying to make that brutality come to life on the page that gives me nightmares.
But this time it clicked because I’d taken my darling Emily Dickinson with me. I know. Ironic. Emily? Violent? Lines from her poetry form the titles for all my books. In this book I went the next step and also used them as titles for each chapter and they guided me along much as an outline would (I don’t use outlines; I’m a “pantser”). In one scene the chapter title acted almost like a spirit guide. That was exciting. And it was one of the more violent scenes. I guess you had to be there. Glad I was.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Quirky writing habits… I write in front of a large window (well, of course, also in front of a computer with a large screen…) that looks out over some small woods occupied by, you guessed it, wildlife, which keeps me necessarily distracted as I need to be between thoughts and typing. This was not handed to me, either. I earned it. Up the 1%!!! And every once in a while there’s a strange calico creature who sneaks up and screams at me to scratch her or cuddle for a few minutes. It’s a healthy thing to get up and stretch. That’s me, not her. “You gotta move, you gotta move.” That’s a theme song, too.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Motto and quote… On the title page of every book: Si bonum facere non potes, malum minorem facere conar (if you cannot make it better, don’t make it worse) and "Not the book needs so much to be the complete thing, but the reader of the book does."—Walt Whitman
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That one thing to remember… Get involved with the world, the living things in it that need your energy and kindness.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Coffee Killer (Motel at the End of the World Book 1)?
I write in the post-apocalyptic genre and The China Pandemic was my debut novel in 2013 but after the last couple of years, I think most readers are ready for something a little lighter in the genre. I'm inspired by humor even in dark times and thought there should be a subgenre titled Cozy Apocalypse. A warm and fuzzy take on the end of the world as we know it.
I came up with a scenario for how the world might go on if you had to run a motel and instead of money, you checked in with toiletries and scarce food supply in a world where no plant ever grew again. Coffee would certainly be a hot commodity. It seemed like a fun project, and I was right.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Coffee Killer (Motel at the End of the World Book 1), what would they be?
It's hard to imagine anything better than Bad Moon Rising for this storyline. It's apocalyptic but with an upbeat, if that makes sense.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I don't traditionally read in post-apocalyptic genre. But I do love some of the newer titles by Adrian Walker, like: End of the World Running Club and The Last Dog on Earth was hilarious. Though I'll read anything by Anthony Doerr or C. A. Fletcher.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
At the moment, I'm reading The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. Amazing author.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
As you can imagine, I seldom get to write humor but there are a few scenes between the motel manager and his housekeeper that were a lot of fun to write. They have a great aunt/nephew kind of relationship, and he's just not sure about her character most of the time. She keeps him guessing...
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I have a space heater under my desk and will run it, not because it's cold, but because of the noise it generates - even in a heatwave. It just makes me lose time in a scene. I'm convinced it's some kind of portal.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
As a writer, I always tell others you have to be there, in the scene. Or it will never work. (Bring your space heater)
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
3 words: This is fiction. (Trust me... it's been a problem.)
