Author Q&A
Q: Tell us about your experience writing a book for the Aged to Perfection Anthology.
A: It was a bit wild. I had a story in mind and was several pages deep before I realized that story wasn't ready to be told (it will be, just not now). Instead, Edwina Gale (who is one of my favorite characters) kept showing up with her witchy self, telling me I needed to write HER story. So I gave in and did what she wanted. Once I did that, the words just flowed like melted chocolate being poured over a hot donut.
Q: Tell us a bit about your story.
A: Edwina Gale is used to tracking down supernatural bad guys, but when her romantic weekend is interrupted by the murder of a drag queen, she's determined to solve the crime before an innocent person is convicted.
Q: Why was this story important for you to tell?
A: I guess Edwina Gale is the sort of person I'd like to be in 15 years. She isn't sitting in her chair, watching Judge Judy and waiting for the end. She's out there following her calling, using her magic, and living life to the fullest.
