When did you first start writing?
In middle school. I wrote short stories to entertain my twin sister and to give to my mother at Christmas.
What's the story behind your latest book?
My latest book was The Hunt. I'd been thinking about writing this one for a while because I'd read a book a few years back that had a hunt scene. As with most writers who read, I'd wished at the time that the author would have gone another direction, so if you don't get what you want, you create what you want. All of my books are set in Montana because that's where I'm from and winter is my favorite time of year, which is why many of my books are set in the snow.
