What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
"Write what you know," they said. I wrote romance novels in the '90s, then computer code for a decade. Returning to fiction after my third divorce, I realized I did not know anything about romance. However, I make very good chocolate desserts, and I've often fantasized about doing away with my ex. "Write what you know." Death by Chocolate was born.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My main character, Lindsay Powell, has my baking skills and my smart mouth. I did not set out to give her the latter. However, friends say she sounds like me. I suppose this is to be expected since I write her dialogue. King Henry, the homeless cat who moves in with Lindsay, is based on a cat who did that to me. My cat has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, but he lives again every time I write about Lindsay's cat. Fred Sommers, Lindsay's mysterious neighbor, is based on a long-time friend I have known since high school. One day I realized I didn't know very much about him. He claimed to do computer work for a residential gas company, but he never provided a lot of detail. Was he really a government spy? An undercover cop? A member of the mob? In book 8 of this series, I finally figured out his story.
