Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
My latest book is a mystery/suspense novel released January 11, 2023. I started writing it as a personal challenge to write one paragraph a day and to make that paragraph as intriguing and engaging as possible. I wrote it for my father who was fighting lung cancer and mother, his primary care giver. I wanted to give them something to look forward to each day—somewhere for them to escape from the daily stresses they were enduring.

In time, a story with layers of plots and subplots emerged. Through feedback from beta-readers, a handful of friends who read early drafts and my editor’s thorough review, I feel the final story is intense, complex and will keep readers on the edge of their seats. At least, that is my hope!

Normally, life on the Mediterranean island of Malta is safe and calm. Then two professors go missing on the same day. A baker starts dealing in a shady side business. Foreign agents become involved as religion and cybertechnology intertwine.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I do a lot of hiking and some mountaineering. Over the past few years, my husband and I have been training to do the Great Himalayan Trail. We actually started in 2020, but it was cancelled five weeks in due to corona virus lockdowns in Nepal. It looks to go ahead in 2023. We will attempt both the Nepal trail and India trail, taking a total of nine months to cross the Himalayan high-altitude trail.
