What can you tell us about your new release, The Dead Are Resting? It’s a historical fiction novel set against the dual backdrops of 1930s/1940s Berlin, Germany and modern-day Pittsburgh. It’s by no means a book about the Holocaust; that’s only a small part. Rather, it’s more a book about family relationships and the lies people tell and the secrets they keep, all to keep that “delicate balance” going. It’s also set in Pittsburgh, a city not represented nearly enough in the literary world. What or who inspired you to become an author? The young adult historical fiction novelist Ann Rinaldi. I was obsessed with her books growing up and she definitely planted within me a lifelong love of the historical fiction genre. What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read? Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri The Radium Girls by Kate Moore Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask? The author Jhumpa Lahiri. I first discovered her thanks to a required comparative literature course I took my first year of college when I was assigned her Pulitzer Prize winning work, The Interpreter of Maladies. She’s the genius behind crafting the most beautiful and eloquent short stories and I would want to know what led her to write short stories, as opposed to a novel? Does she find writing short stories more difficult than a novel? I’d also want to know if she would ever consider writing a historical fiction novel, perhaps one set in her ancestral homeland of India? What's your favorite thing about writing? I love that there’s never any limits in terms of where your imagination can take you with the words you create on paper. What scene from The Dead Are Resting was your favorite to write? As cliché as it sounds, the epilogue. It’s not that oh, here’s a happy ending for everyone, but more that the protagonist finally experiences closure regarding the shocking truth she uncovered concerning her family’s past that had thrown her very being into emotional chaos and tumult. As the creator of the story I personally felt this ending could not be more perfect, that this was THE ending. Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by? Travel is one of my greatest loves in life (I’ve been to 33 countries on five continents) and so the quote by Susan Sontag is absolutely one of my favorites and one I definitely live by- “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”

What can you tell us about your new release, Snitches Get Stitches?
Snitches Get Stitches is the fourteenth book in the Amazon best-selling Liam Quinn mysteries, an old-school private eye series in the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker. Quinn is contacted by a childhood boxing rival. The man's life has fallen apart and he's a career criminal. But he's convinced his beloved sister's recent death wasn't the suicide police claim. She was involved in both politics and the local drag community, and had a growing list of enemies. Quinn, meanwhile, is waiting for wife Nora to give birth at any moment to their first child.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
I'm on the autism spectrum and began reading at an adult level at age three, so it was sort of a natural fit. I was a print journalist for twenty-five years.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
I can't possibly limit it to five books, or ten, or twenty. My favorite books is usually just the last one I really enjoyed which, right now, would be The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask?
Probably JD Salinger. His character Holden Caulfield is the most misunderstood in books, mostly because kids read him when they're teens themselves and still developing. He wins (or loses, I suppose) poll after poll on the most annoying literary characters, but he's just a kid who has lost his brother, the only person who cares about him, and is lashing out at the world's inequities. People were so hostile to Holden, I wouldn't doubt his misunderstood nature is part of why Salinger was such a recluse.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
If I can give myself deep sympathy or empathy for a character even having pre-plotted what's going to happen. I had a teary moment at the end of the vigilante story I've been working on that reminded me how much a good tale can affect us.
What is a typical day like for you?
A lot of work; usually four hours here and there to write, another four of working on ads or technical stuff. Walking the dogs, household stuff, an hour or two at night of blues guitar.
What scene from Snitches Get Stitches was your favorite to write?
The fight in the alley. I hate bullies and it's nice when they're surprised.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Absolutely not. Like is about being flexible and open to change.
