Interview with Robert Joseph, Author of Murder at the Naked Swimming Hole

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Murder at the Naked Swimming Hole?

Some of the story is actually true — not the murders, of course — but most of the characters are based, to some extent, on people I have actually known.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Mysteries, of course, and well-written literature. Also non-fiction, especially politics, biographies and history.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

I read a lot of books of various genres written by friends who are writers. My favorite writers are Amor Towles and Annie Poulx.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

No particular favorites.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

None.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Follow your dreams in life and do what you love to do.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

That they enjoyed the book and would like to read more of my work.
