I told my agent, the great Russell Galen, a funny rehabber story and he said, “If I were a producer, I’d be all over that. Why don’t you write it as a novel?” I said, “Because I don’t know how to write a novel.” He said, “Figure it out. Read Carl Hiaasen.”

Publicity for Unflappable. For me, this part is way more difficult than writing the book!

Don’t give up! It’s a long road. Take comfort from people who believe in you, just don’t wear them out.

You are your own boss. This works for people who have a hard time following orders. It can work against you, however, because if you try to fire yourself you probably won’t listen.

I go for long hikes. Unflappable has many characters and they’re all in tight spots (especially the heroine), and I could never figure out what to do with these people until I was a couple miles into the woods. Luckily I can write inside, I just can’t figure out plots!

I can do it in one: “In March of 2020 Suzie emerged from three years of solitude with a new book, eager to reconnect with the world.”
