Nice question! :)

In no particular order:
Eudora Welty. Even though I write historical thrillers and she most certainly did not, the quality of the voice she creates in her fiction--its lyricism and authenticity--inspires me.

Neil Gaiman. He embraces magic in the everyday world with the abandon of a child while never flinching from the darkness that also lurks there. And he lives intentionally in a way that gives more back to the world than he ever takes.

Flannery O'Connor. This one surprises me. As a reader, I've always loved her work, but I've never thought of her as a direct influence--until now (so thanks for making me think!). I love the way she sees the world with the fantastic mingling with the mundane, the sacred with the profane, and mystery more compelling than any of our "realities."

Stephen King. Horror is real. And evil never looks like what we think it should.

Juliet Marillier. She showed me how to write kick-butt female protagonists without forfeiting their humanity and how to let characters suffer the consequences of their actions.(less)

Permission to Push Pause

I’m often asked at conferences and readings about how I manage to “get it all done.” I’ve published three novels since 2015 (and have written two more). I travel regularly for author events. I’m a college professor teaching four classes a semester (plus meetings, etc.). I homeschool two kids and have two dogs and two cats. (I have a partner who helps with this.) I am also active in the community.
