What software (Word, other word processing format) do you use to write or do you use a typewriter? I ask because with computer software, it seems easier to edit while writing. With typing, at least you can actually see how the story looks on a real page.

I actually write longhand and then dictate to a Word file using Dragon Naturally Speaking. (I am a nurse by profession and never mastered fast typing skills.)I have to transfer to the computer soon after I write the scenes since I am writing so fast I can barely read my own handwriting. Transferring to a blank page and editing (Dragon isn't perfect) is my first real edit, and because of it, I usually don't have many changes to make when I am actually finished with the manuscript.(less)

Hi Liz, I really enjoyed this book. How did you prepare for this book? Did you spend time with food critics or do you know people who are food critics?

My agent had submitted another mystery to my publisher at Berkley. She loved the story and my voice but said she'd have to ruin the story to make it a cozy (that one is now book one of A Dead Sister Talking/Garcia Girls Mysteries.) Anyway, she asked if I could write a cozy series for her, specifically a "foodie." I had no idea what a cozy was at the time and when I researched, I discovered that all of them were about gourmet food and fine wine--both of which I dislike intensely. Initially, I said no, thinking there was no way I could write about something I knew nothing about. I am one of 9 children and grew up eating casseroles. But somehow, I came up with a story idea about a sports journalism major (I am an avid sports fan) who just happened to get a job writing a culinary column. If you read the book you know how that ended!! Again, thanks for the questions.(less)
