My January 18, 2023 interview of Casey McQuiston for the Galena Public Library’s Litfest! Video should be live until July 18, 2023.

My very first video interview!  I’ve got a lot of room to improve, but I had to start somewhere.  The twist in the middle was completely unexpected.

Carolyn Rahaman interviewed me for her podcast NaNo-It-All, in preparation for National Novel Writing Month at the end of October 2019. The episode is titled “Orange You Glad I Didn’t Name the Show BaNaNo?”. Click on the icon below to listen.

August 2022: I wrote an article about the power of brainstorming characters for Romance Writer’s of America. Funny story – after writing it I was like, “Hey, maybe I should practice some of this advice,” and then I did. I think you have to be a member of RWA to read this, so sorry if you can’t.
