Probably Nick and Nora Charles from The Thin Man. I love they way they integrated their cases with their lifestyle, from the crazy characters they had as friends, to the way Nora was included and definitely a partner in their relationship. Their wry humor, too, attracts me~

I'll write something out of order, a scene or chapter I know I'll need later on. Works every time.

Getting to play the WHAT IF? game: What if an American writer living in England has a nose for ferreting out murderers? What if she finds she's pregnant by her dead fiancé and decides to raise that child alone--how will impact her life and her future? What if she finds romance with a detective and butts her nose into his cases?

You must be a reader to be a good writer: to see what's out there that's good AND bad, and to learn what moves you as a reader.
You must write, not just think about it. Even if it's an essay for a magazine, a bit of poetry, a blog. Writing anything teaches you about writing.

I'm finishing research and character outlines for the fourth Nora Tierney mystery, THE GOLDEN HOUR, which takes place in Bath, England.

I'm always thinking in my head of things for the next book, when I'm folding wash or doing dishes. So it's easy to take notes and then when I sit down to write, I already have ideas in mind.

I have a story arc for Nora and always loved the play Blithe Spirit so it seemed natural to bring a theatre troupe to Ramsey Lodge to stage the play.
