Blog postThe first book I ever wrote, Mirror Image, took me twenty-some years to write.
I was in high school when the idea first came to me. I originally thought it would be a just a quick, little short story I would bang out in a day or two, but no matter how much I worked on it, I couldn’t get it right.
I eventually figured out the issue, namely that it wasn’t a short story after all, but a novel. Once I realized that, then more issues came to light, namely that I was starting it in -

Blog postAuthor note: If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you already know that for every book I release, I do a Story Behind the Story version where I share a little bit about the inspiration and writing of each book.

One of my biggest frustrations with working with Michele is how long it takes her to grasp the -

At first, I was hesitant. I was working on a standalone, The Third Nanny, and I thought my next book would -
Blog postChapter 1
“Charlie!” Mildred, my tea customer, opened her door and ushered me inside, straight into a cloud of floral perfume so strong, I could feel my eyes watering. Her blue pantsuit was clean and pressed, and her grey, permed hair looked freshly styled, like she had just returned from the hairdresser. “Oh, you didn’t have to make a special trip for me. But since you’re here, come in, come in.”
“It’s no trouble,” I said, trying to unobtrusively dab the tears from my eyes st -
