Goodreads asked W. Michael Hewitt:

How do you get inspired to write?

W. Michael Hewitt Once I started on the manuscript now called Malicious Deception, I got hooked. The early versions of the book had over a dozen chapters that I cut for various reasons. A few of the chapters were rewritten into a new manuscript that is now the first novel in the Essie Openwaters mystery thriller series, Girl Emerging. Other chapters were converted into another manuscript with a different protagonist (same antagonist) that takes place 50 years before Malicious Deception but provides part of the back story for it. That manuscript will be released as Pernicious Proclivities later in 2023.
