What are you working on next?
I just finished a thriller about a grad student trying to write a thriller novel whose life takes on a frightening resemblance to the book she's writing. It's called "The Planck Factor" and you can pre-order it now.
My next novel is about a female ex-Marine with PTSD who works as an unlicensed private eye. Her client hires her to find his missing daughter and missing business partner who appears to have stolen from the business. The search leads her into a murder investigation that embroils her in dealings with the Russian mob.
Who are your favorite authors?
Among my favorite authors are classic hardboiled mystery writers like Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Ross Macdonald, and Gloria Fickling (who wrote the "Honey West" novels with her husband, Forest). I'm also a big fan of Robert Crais, Walter Mosley, Mark Twain, Terry Pratchett, Margaret Millar, Mercedes Lambert, and the list just goes on from there.
