I had the awesome privilege of being a guest on the Sisters in Crime Writers’ Podcast. The interview was fun and covered many topics that are near to the hearts of both indie and traditionally published authors. Sisters in Crime (SinC) is one of the top international organizations chosen by crime fiction authors in search of community, resources, and industry news. You can hear the full interview wherever you listen to podcasts or follow this link to the Sisters in Crime Writers’ Podcast page.

I love meeting my characters for the first time. They introduce me to their fears and childhood traumas, lovers, phobias, triumphs, and all the bone-rattling potholes of their lives. I call it the pre-writing process. It’s the massive iceberg of work and discovery created before page one of the manuscript and holds up the shiny new story for the world to see. The submerged portion of my world that gives the plot its buoyancy. And answers those pesky questions like, “Why would they do that?”
Have you ever had a conversation stuck in your head? That’s what it’s like as an author. Some characters are very chatty when you creating the plot and building worlds. Amira Cooper is the main character in my new book, The Taste of Rain, The Clover City Files Book 1. I had the wonderful opportunity to reveal what it’s like to ‘hear’ Amira in a blog post at Dru’s Musings. I hope you’ll check out A Day In My Life – Amira Cooper and leave a comment.
