Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
The very first conference I ever went to had a wonderful speaker. The one thing she drilled into us was to keep things fresh. Basically, she scared the “fresh” into us – well, at least me! It’s a lot of work but so worth it!
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
Secrets? Not really. But I can tell you that Otter Bay, Maine is a made-up town. I have always wanted to visit the coast of Maine. I did as much research on the Maine coastline as I could. I was planning a trip there this past summer but had to cancel due to Covid. I was really looking forward to seeing the area of where I placed my book. And of course, take lots and lots of pictures. Maybe next year.
Thank you so much for having me. I have really enjoyed the interview!
