"The Girl Who Can Cook" started with a text message between friends. A friend of mine was murdered (IRL) and we were bouncing hateful notions back and forth about the girl who did it--supposing what we would do if she wasn't put in jail (she was, it was murder).
The book I wrote didn't have anything to do with those horrific events but it got me thinking. I wondered if we would still feel the same way if the circumstances were different, murkier. If it wasn't a clear-cut murder and if that friend was a jerk. I thought a lot about the tribal way we defend the people that we love and how it's hard to see people for what they are when you care about them.

Did you self publish "The Girl Who Can Cook"? Also, props on seemingly producing your own audiobook version. During your wife's narrations, is she "off mic" or using a different style of microphone? I'd assume the latter, her audio sounds how mine turns out when I try to use my MacBook's built in microphone vs. setting up my mics & mixer. Just curious.
