Like my character Katherine Watson, I love purses. As a teenager I received a gift of a beautiful welsh tapestry shoulder bag. I treasured that bag for decades. Now, it's missing! What happened to this gorgeous bag? Why? What motives, opportunities, and means have caused this mysterious disappearance?

Developing the mystery plots, and the characters. How fun!

If I'm temporarily blocked on a scene then I think of what scene I'm most excited about writing at the moment and I switch and write that scene instead. And also chocolate helps. Chocolate candies and a variety of tea flavors helps for incentive.

Surround yourself with people who support you, have a caring group of critique buddies who tell you the truth about your drafts, and for the last piece of advice I can't say it better than Stephen King - "How do you write? I invariably answer one word at a time."

I've enjoyed writing ever since I was a child, and I've wanted to be an author since I was 8 years old. I've had an incredible group of people around me, starting with my wonderful parents, who have always told me - Yes! You can do it!

The idea for my amateur sleuth Katherine Watson and the mystery Kat Out of the Bag started with the desire to write about all the things I most enjoy, including a good mystery. I was inspired by my hero of authors, Laura Childs.
