I had dreamed about going to Italy for years. I went there, in part, to do research for Seeking Sara Summers because some of the novel takes place in Italy. I love doing research that involves travel! The novel I’m working on now is set in the Georgia low country, near Savannah, which is a little closer to home. I feel a road trip coming on!

You’ve probably heard the aphorism that “Luck is opportunity meeting preparedness.” A lot of people aren’t prepared, so when an opportunity comes their way and they aren’t prepared to act on it, they “aren’t lucky.”

Aspiring writers are often told at writer’s conferences, “Don’t quit your day job!” These words frequently come from writers/agents/publishers who have been in the business long enough to know that having a career as a writer can be the Mt. Everest of dreams.
