When (time of day) I write: original writing in the morning, editing during the afternoon
Writing soundtrack: All over the place. Beethoven one session, Lady Gaga the next, a little Keith Urban for later, and a nightcap with Josh Groban
Character Inspirations: Faulty people with complex pasts, a wry sense of humor, and a desire to see justice served
Plot Inspirations: For readers to get to the end of my books and say, “I didn’t see that coming.”
Setting Inspirations: Small towns with plenty of charm and more than a few killers at large
Plotter (carefully plot books) or Pantser (write from the seat of my pants): A blend of the two. I plot bits at a time and then often chuck the outlines out the window and just wing it. Writing is all about following one’s gut, even if it means a constant supply of coffee and cupcakes.
