My new book "Under Dark Waters" is out. I`m excited – and nervous at the same time: Will the readers like it as much as I do? How will it be received?
In the meantime, I`ve written another book, the working title is "Stormy Cove". It`ll be published next year with AmazonCrossing. It is a mystery novel that takes place on the rugged, beautiful island of Newfoundland. And I`m working on a new mystery novel. But to root for my latest baby is a nice break and hopefully will give me the opportunity to get in touch with some of my readers!
In the meantime, I try to walk a lot. Not only for pedestrian but also for literary reasons...
Some authors know exactly what will be in every chapter of their book before they even start it. I don`t - I like to be surprised. I have a general idea where the book is going but apart from that, anything can happen really. And I think it`s great when you, as a writer, are curious what the outcome of your story will be. Sometimes, I get stuck and have to rethink my plot and make adjustments. To sort things out - and air my head - it always helps to go for a walk. Somehow the feet and the movement of your body connect to the brain, and ideas are coming in unexpected ways. It`s almost mysterious, but a great process!
