What's the story behind your book?
I'm a huge fan of mystery writers such as Sue Grafton and Tony Hillerman. In developing my own style, I wanted to use much familiarity with this novel and a first person point of view. So… The book is set in Reno, Nevada where I live and the plot involves a mystery at the local art museum that I know and love. The main characters of Lucy and Cindy are based on my best friend and me, with her dog as role model for Baskerville. A few of the crazy antics we've gotten into have resurfaced as fodder in the plot. It's a lot of fun to write a novel with composites of people you know as the protagonists. But it's a whole lot of hard work to write a mystery with all those story threads to cast out and weave into a good story. See what you think and happy reading!
