Why this book and why now?
I missed the characters from my debut novel Round Trip. So, I yanked a side character from that novel, gave her a love interest, and wrote another book!
What is a significant way your book has changed since either the first draft or the way you thought it would turn out when you first had the inspiration?
I’m a pantser. I discover the story as I go. My first drafts are a cluster of ideas that normally have very little plot and not a lot to do with the finished book. First drafts are how I get to know my characters. Once I know them, then I know where to take them in the second draft.
What 3 things would your main character want with them if they got stranded away from civilization, and why?
Since both main characters get locked in a large art installation in Under the Rainbow, this one is easy to answer. Joleen is worried about food, about being stuck with a woman she hates, and she’s afraid of the dark, and does not have her phone or a flashlight.
Publishing a book is a huge accomplishment and it’s time to party! Choose a celebratory beverage for one of your main characters to toast the release of your new book.
I’m going to buy a large bottle of carrot juice. A boring answer, but it’s the truth.
What song does your character put on to start your book launch party?
Without a doubt, Devi puts on ‘Pussy is God‘. She loves to dance to this song. The music has a great beat, she says.
