What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

My aunt and uncle had a cabin in the California gold country, on a plot of land they hoped held tailings from an old gold mine. One night my aunt heard a commotion outside, and looked to see a man in the front yard digging a hole. Spooked, she woke my uncle and told him. Tired from the day's exploration, he mumbled “Never stop a man with a shovel.” So she went back to sleep. The next morning they found a hole nearly seven feet deep. Did the mysterious digger think there was buried gold? Was he planning on burying a body? They never found out. The story was told many times in my family, and I always wondered. I ended up writing a book set in the gold country, albeit without the mysterious digger. But he might appear in a future story. Hmmm...never stop a writer with a shovel mystery to be unearthed.(less)

Is there a chance that you could involve fracking in one of your next books? You already wrote about radioactivity (kind of), quicksilver poisoning and vulcanism in your books that were really well researched. I like reading about environmental issues in your books, and to combine them with geology, because that makes you special as an author.

I'm so glad to hear that the environmental themes in my books resonate with you! My current project touches on the effects of sea level rise. I hope to have that book finished sometime this fall--the working title is LANDS END.

For the next book, I would absolutely consider a plotline involving fracking and its dangers.

Thanks for the question--it's great to hear from a like-minded reader :)

All best, Toni

“I live in a small town, a town without much serious crime, but I’ll tell you there are days when I see enough mean-spirited ugliness to ruin my lunch.”

“We were, as best I could tell by the castoff of emergency lights, on an alluvial fan leading into the hacked-up foothills of a gaunt range that loomed above. “We are just off Nevada state highway 95,” Soliano said, “southwest of the town of Beatty. A passing motorist saw ‘something funny’ and notified the Beatty sheriff, who investigated and notified federal responders. I came out here and determined that we wanted a forensic geology consult. We have you on file. I am told you are worth your fee.”
