I appreciate the questions and am glad you like the cover. my publisher made the cover but I’m very happy with it because I think it does a good job of capturing the balance between horoscope imagery (in this case Gemini), murder mysteries, and the split/mirror imagery captures one of the themes of the novel (how things appear versus how they really are).
I like horoscopes, but am not a believer. In fact, the novel plays with the concept of how we self-delude. Something like a horoscope prediction prompts our imagination, and we filter “truth” through that expectation regardless of its validity. With horoscopes it’s pretty benign but with something like crime, it can be very dangerous.

I'm an introvert so I tend to need time to be by myself and get centered. I've discovered that the best possible way to do this is to write. That way I can escape into a world completely of my own creation. It relaxes and energizes me. You could say I don't need the inspiration as much as I need the escape.

That's a cool question, but I'm afraid my life is full of ordinary mysteries, not really befitting of a book. Why can't my favorite football team win a game (Denver Broncos)? Why can't I stick to a diet? How can I make a little bit more money? I guess you could say my life's mysteries help me build characters, but I have to use my imagination for plot. Thanks for the question!
