FEATURED AUTHOR: JUDI LYNN

ABOUT THE BOOK

High summer in River Bluffs, Indiana, is always sweltering and sweet. But the heat is really on when a decidedly dead body turns up in the neighborhood.

When established house flippers Jazzi Zanders and her cousin Jerod donate a week’s worth of remodeling work to Jazzi’s sister Olivia, they’re expecting nothing more than back-breaking roofing work and cold beers at the end of each long, hot day. With Jazzi’s live-in boyfriend and partner Ansel on the team, it promises to be a quick break before starting their next big project—until Leo, an elderly neighbor of Olivia’s, unexpectedly goes missing . . .

When the friendly senior’s dog tugs Jazzi and the guys toward the wetlands beyond Olivia’s neighborhood, they stumble across a decomposing corpse—and a lot of questions. With Jazzi’s pal Detective Gaff along to investigate, Jazzi finds her hands full of a whole new mystery instead of the usual hammer and nails. And this time it will take some sophisticated sleuthing to track down the culprit of the deadly crime—before the killer turns on her next . . .

IFs ANDs OR WHATs INTERVIEW WITH JUDI LYNN

Ifs


IF you could talk to anyone, who would it be and what would you ask them?
I’ve watched way too many movies about Elizabeth I. Looking back, I’d love to know her take on her lifetime, and why she made the choices she made, and if she wished she’d done anything differently.

IF you had to do community service (or already do volunteer work), what would you choose?
I don’t do volunteer work anymore, but I really enjoyed volunteering in my daughters’ schools when they were young. I taught elementary school before I had them, and when Holly, my older daughter, started first grade, the principal of her school said that if I’d teach a half-day reading (for free) with the poor teacher who was given a reading readiness/first grade split class, my second daughter Robyn could join the class every morning and go to school half days. Robyn loved the idea, said she was starting school like her sister, so I agreed. The teacher and I made a great team, and the kids did well.  Robyn didn’t understand, though, why she got As on all of her papers and didn’t get to first grade the following year like the rest of her friends. She was only three. I tried to explain she wasn’t old enough to start school yet, but it took the principal telling her, “Hey, it’s a legal thing. You’re only three years old.” So the next year, Robyn started pre-school, even though she could read like a whiz! After that, I volunteered in the school’s computer room and spent one afternoon a week reading to first grade classes. I loved it all until my husband’s mom had to find a good nursing home, and then I didn’t have time for those programs anymore.

IF you were on the Amazon bestseller list, who would you choose to be one before and one below you?
I made the Amazon best-seller list for my cozy mystery, The Body in the Attic. And it was wonderful! But it would have been even better if my writer-friend Julia Donner was before me for her Regency romances and my friend, Mae Clair, was behind me for her brilliant Hode’s Hill series. I love both of their writing!


IF you could meet any author for coffee, who would you like to meet and what would you talk about?
Easy! I’m a huge Ilona Andrews’ fan—I’ve read every Kate Daniels book and Hidden Legacy novel.  And if it’s like getting together with any other of my author friends, we’d talk writing!

IF you could choose a fictional town to live in what would it be and from what book?
I’m not brave enough to aspire to being a hero or clever enough for intrigue, so I’d go for Shangri-La in James Hilton’s book, Lost Horizons.  It sounded a lot like heaven on earth.


Ands


5 favorite possessions:   
•    I have an old leather satchel that I carry to every meeting of my writers’ club. I’m our unofficial moderator who sets up every meeting and the three readers who volunteer for each one, plus a list of all of our members and their e-mails. When I think writers’ club, I think of my satchel.
•    A pin my dear friend, Wayne Rothgeb, gave me from when he was a pilot in World War II.  I mentored him when he wrote a book about his experiences, New Guinea Skies, and he gave me the wings as a thank-you.
•    A teapot my husband gave me that’s shaped like a writing desk with an old-fashioned typewriter on top since I’m such a fan of Agatha Christie.  The piece of paper in the typewriter has a page from one of her manuscripts painted on it, and the papers wadded up in the wastebasket come from the same book.  I love it.
•    Chanel #5—another gift from my husband.  I always feel feminine when I wear it.
•    And a loose-leaf notebook full of poems in my mother’s handwriting that she copied from her favorite poetry books.
mentored him when he wrote a book about his experiences,  and he gave me the wings as a thank-you. 

5 things you need in order to write: 

•    The plot points I did for my book—1 plot point for each chapter.
•    The character wheels I drew and filled in for any important characters in the book.
•    My Roget’s Thesaurus
•    Diet juice or coffee
•    And My computer.  (I do better on a desktop than a laptop).

5 things you love about where you live:  
•    The Midwest is GREEN. Lots of places are warm and wonderful, but the green of Indiana always makes me happy.
•    Fort Wayne is big enough to have a lot of things to offer, but not so big that the traffic snarls make me crazy.
•    Pork tenderloins. I know. I read the men’s sports magazine that said too many Hoosiers are obese.  But my daughter lives in Florida and called for a recipe to make pork tenderloins because you can’t find them where she lives. Neither can John’s brother in Oakland. And they’re wonderful.
•    People are pretty friendly here.
•    And We live in northeast Indiana, and there are a lot of lakes nearby. 

5 favorite foods:
•    Scallops. Love ‘em!
•    Sausage rolls.
•    Balsamic chicken breasts
•    Butternut squash ravioli in a brown butter-sage sauce
•    And Macarons (the French kind)

5 favorite books:  
•    Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
•    The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Agatha Christie
•    E Pluribus Unicorn, Theodore Sturgeon
•    The Old Fox Deceiv’d, Martha Grimes
•    A Great Deliverance, Elizabeth George
•    And sneaking in another one: Midnight Bayou, Nora Roberts

Whats

What’s your all-time favorite place? 
I love Fort Wayne’s Children Zoo, but my parents used to drive us to the Toledo Zoo in Ohio when we were kids as a special summer trip, and I still love to visit it.

What’s your all-time favorite author? 
I think I’ve read every Agatha Christie mystery, even a few of her paranormal type short stories.

What’s your all-time favorite city? 
I love LIVING in Fort Wayne, but I love VISITING Washington, D.C. Chicago has to be a close second.

What’s your all-time favorite library? 
I have to say our local Waynedale library. Not because it’s the BEST in the city, but because the people there were so wonderful to our grandsons and encouraged them to visit the library every Saturday. And for myself, I’m wonderfully proud of the Little Turtle Library in Fort Wayne for hosting our writers’ club every second and fourth Wednesday.

What’s your favorite dessert? 
Chocolate pavlova with strawberries and whipped cream.

What’s your favorite social media site? Would you rather tweet or post on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest . . .?  
I have a thing for Twitter. I like to visit it 3 times a day. You can find me at @judypost.

What’s your latest recommendation for:
Food: Stromboli.
Music: Keith Urban’s CD Ripcord
Movie: The 13th Warrior
Book: The Anatomist’s Wife, Anna Lee Huber
Audiobook: never listen to them
TV:  The Kitchen on the foodnetwork (I love to cook!)
Netflix/Amazon Prime: Stranger Things

What other books do you currently have published?
I started out self-publishing (through my literary agency) urban fantasy. I have 9 novels and 7 novella bundles, plus one longer novella—all listed under Judith Post on Amazon:

When I started writing for Lyrical Underground, I wrote 6 Mill Pond romances as Judi Lynn:
Cooking Up Trouble
Opposites Distract 
Love on Tap  
Spicing Things Up 
First Kiss, On the House
Special Delivery

I’ve just started writing cozy Jazzi Zanders mysteries as Judi Lynn. My first one was The Body in the Attic.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

USA Today Best-selling author for The Body in the Attic. 
When Judi started self-publishing, she wrote urban fantasy as Judith Post. Then her wonderful agent, Lauren Abramo, suggested she try to find a publisher by writing romance, and she was right. Judi sold her Mill Pond romances to Kensington's Lyrical Press. After six romances, her equally wonderful editor, John Scognamiglio, asked if she'd like to try to write a mystery. Ironic, because she started writing--forever ago--by writing mystery short stories and selling them. She decided to write about a fixer-upper because her husband and she bought a 1920s small bungalow when they got married, and it needed lots of work. They're still working on it. And cooking crept into the stories because she LOVES to cook and have friends over to eat supper. A lot of her passions have ended up in her books:)

ABOUT THE BOOK

1994: Texas Ranger Jim Strong investigates a mass murder on a dusty freight train linked to a mysterious, missing cargo for which no record exists.

The Present: His daughter, fifth generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong, finds herself on the trail of that same cargo when skeletal remains are found near an excavation site in the Texas desert. She’s also dealing with the aftermath of a massacre that claimed the lives of all the workers at a private intelligence company on her watch.

These two cases are connected by a long-buried secret, one that men have killed and died to protect. Caitlin and her outlaw lover Cort Wesley Masters must prove themselves to be as strong as steel to overcome a bloody tide that has been rising for centuries.

Series: Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong series, book 10

Print length: 336 pages
On tour with: Partners in Crime Book Tours

INTERVIEW WITH JON LAND

Jon, what’s the story behind the title of your book?
Part of the series brand is to always have STRONG begin the title. The fact that the phrase “Strong as Steel” is so ingrained in the pop culture lexicon made it a natural choice. And, crediting my great editor at Forge, Bob Gleason, it was his idea!

Tell us about your series. Is this book a standalone, or do readers need to read the series in order?
Although this is the tenth book in the Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong series, readers can feel very comfortable starting off with it, or any other title, because I write all the books as if the latest title is a reader’s first experience. I can’t tell you how many authors I’ve picked up in the middle of a series. From Robert Parker (Spencer), to James Lee Burke (Dave Robicheaux) to James Hall (Thorn), I can’t tell how many series I’ve started in the middle, which I imagine is the case for the majority of readers.

What’s the most valuable thing you’ve learned?
Never to take anything for granted and to take pleasure in simple things and pursuits. Our greatest failure as human beings is not to realize how important something or someone is until it’s gone.

What do you love about where you live?
Writing is all about finding a comfort zone and what I love most about where I live is that it’s the centerpiece of that comfort zone, of the life style I’ve built around my career. Writing is one of those very rare avocations where the work stays with you after you’ve finished for the day and being comfortable where you live is crucial to keeping the creative juices flowing.

What’s one thing you wish your younger writer self knew?
Not to take success for granted, and especially not to expect that success to continue on an upward track unabated.


What choices in life would you like to have a redo on?
Tying in with the question above, I lived beyond my means for a few years expecting those means to catch up and then trying to figure out what to do when it they never did. I should have done a better job managing my money—you know, all the assorted financial stuff. Writers are by nature dreamers and sometimes those dreams get in the way of a stark reality.

What makes you nervous?
The health and safety of people I care about, and tying in with the answer above, some months wondering how I’m going to make ends meet.


What makes you happy?
Being around people whose company I genuinely enjoy based on relationships I genuinely value. As you get older, you come to appreciate the importance of that more and more.

What makes you scared?
Health issues comes to mind first, but also one day coming to grips with the fact that I don’t have enough work, and can’t find enough work, to get by.

What makes you excited?
New opportunities that bring great potential to the table and older opportunities that pay off in some unexpected way.

What’s one of your favorite quotes?
Yogi Berra’s “The future ain’t what it used to be.” I think those words say it all when it comes to both the world in which we live and the business in which I work.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where in the world would it be?
Right where I’m typing this from now. Enough said.

What would your main character say about you?
I’d like to think that Caitlin would say I’ve captured the essence of her character and portrayed her in a way that makes her think she’s looking in the mirror. That I “get” the fact that she has a gunfighter mentality that makes it a challenge for her to find happiness outside of working as a Texas Ranger.

How did you create the plot for this book?
SPOILER ALERT: I’m always looking for the “McGuffin” of my next Caitlin Strong book. But I was Googling something else entirely, and I don’t even remember what, when I came across this: BURIAL BOXES MARKED WITH JESUS’ NAME REVEALED IN JERUSALEM ARCHAEOLOGICAL WAREHOUSE. And BOOM! I knew I had found the conceptual engine to drive Caitlin’s next adventure. Coincidentally, I’d wanted to make Strong as Steel a more traditional thriller cut from the cloth of James Rollins and Steve Berry, and envisioned a scene with something long buried in the Texas desert getting dug up to fuel the story. Of course, at that point very early on in the process, I had no idea what that was going to be. Fortune, as they say, is the residue of design.

Is your book based on real events?
I make heavy use of real events in Strong as Steel, but I don’t base the book on them. That would be too limiting and confining.

Who are your favorite authors?
Stephen King because he’s been doing it so well for so long. David Morrell because he pretty much invented the kind of book I write. The late Robert Ludlum because reading his earlier thrillers made me want to write them more than anybody else. James Lee Burke because he’s a fantastic novelist as well as mystery-thriller writer and never disappoints. Michael Connelly because he’s a magician when it comes to pitch-perfect plotting highlighted by just the right amount of conflict on every page. I could go on forever!


What book are you currently reading and in what format?
I only read print books and prefer hardcover. Right now I’m reading Michael Connelly’s Two Kinds of Truth and Tim Dorsey’s hilarious No Sunscreen for the Dead.

Do you have a routine for writing?
Not only do I have one, it pretty much defines my life, as is the case for most writers. We have to be creatures of our routine because that’s where the discipline to get the work done stems from.  I work in two sessions daily, broken up by going to the gym to work out in the middle.

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing?
The second bedroom upstairs in my townhouse condo. In those two sessions mentioned above from, say, 11:00-3:00 and then again from 8:00-midnight. But not all of that is writing. Plenty of it is dealing with email correspondence, promotion, E-interviews like this. Remember too, that all writing entails a big chunk of rewriting, so plenty of the time I’m revising, polishing, and refining.

What’s the worst thing someone has said about your writing?
Take your pick from the slew of 1-star reviews on Amazon for Manuscript for Murder. See, I’ve also taken over writing as Jessica Fletcher for the Murder, She Wrote series and have put my own stamp on that series. Because long-time fans of the previous 46 books have not all responded positively to my approach, I try to distill construction criticism from the haters. I believe no matter how scathing, there is something to be taken from any negative feedback. A matter of turning a negative into a positive.

What are you working on now?
I’m thrilled (no pun intended!) to say here, for the first time in print, that I’m now finishing up a book that’s the sequel to the classic crime film Donnie Brasco. I’ve teamed up with the legendary Joe Pistone (the real Donnie Brasco played by Johnny Depp in the movie) to begin a series that reimagines Donnie as a fictional thriller hero instead of an undercover alias. How about that?




EXCERPT FROM STRONG AS STEEL

CHAPTER 1

Dallas, Texas

“You want to tell me what I’m doing here again?” Caitlin Strong said to Captain Bub McNelly of the Texas Criminal Investigations Division.

McNelly, who favored string ties and shiny cowboy boots, turned to the quartet of figures in equally shiny windbreakers milling behind him in the makeshift staging area, who looked more like businessmen. Caitlin had heard he was a descendant of the famed Texas Ranger captain Leander McNeely, a man who’d once told the whole of the U.S. government to go to hell, but wasn’t too keen on the freedom with which Rangers still operated today.

“Special Response Teams hang their hat on being multi-jurisdictional,” McNelly told her. “Consider yourself the representative Ranger.”

“Since when does an SRT look more comfortable holding briefcases than firearms?”

“I need to tell you that computers are the real weapons these days?” McNelly asked her. “And those boys accompanying us are forensic experts who know how to fire back.”

“Just two guns, yours and mine, backing them up,” Caitlin noted.

“I don’t need a computer to do the math, Ranger,” McNelly said, while the four techs wearing windbreakers hovered behind them in front of the elevator. “You and I serve the warrant on the geek squad upstairs and let the experts do their thing with brains instead of bullets. How hard can it be?”

They were about to serve a search warrant on an information technology firm on the 42nd floor of the Chase Tower, the city’s tallest building. Caitlin had served plenty of more “traditional” search warrants in her time on the likes of biker gangs, drug dealers, and various other suspects. The kind of service that found her backed up by guns and plenty of them, instead of briefcases and backpacks.
A chime sounded ahead of the elevator door sliding open.

“In my experience,” Caitlin said, stepping in first to position herself so the door didn’t close again before the SRT computer forensics techs were inside, “it pays to have brains and bullets.”

McNelly smiled thinly. “That’s why you’re here, Ranger. You were specifically requested for the job.”

“By who?”

“I don’t know. Orders came from the top down.

The cab began its ascent. If this were a Ranger operation, as opposed to CID, Caitlin would have insisted on securing the space in question prior to bringing up the civilians. Because that was clearly what these personnel in ill-fitting windbreakers pulled from a rack were. Civilians.

“Get your warrant ready, Captain,” she told McNelly, as the cab whisked past the floors between “L” and “42.”

He flapped the tri-folded document I the air between them. “Got it right here.”

“What’s CTP stand for again?” Caitlin asked, referring to the acronym of the company on which they were about to serve the warrant.

“Communications Technology Providers. I thought I told you that.”

“Maybe you did, but you never told me what the company did to get on the Criminal Investigation Division’s radar. I’m guessing that’s because somebody ordered you to take me along for the ride.

All well and good in this political world we live in, until something goes bad.”

McNelly flashed Caitlin a smirk, as a chime sounded to indicate the elevator had reached its desired floor. “I can tell you this much, Ranger. The suspects we’re after here don’t know a gun from their own assholes. Worst thing they can do is infect us with a computer virus.”

He led the way through the open cab door, without waiting for Caitlin to respond. She exited next, followed in a tight bunch by those four computer techs in their windbreakers which made it look like they’d stuck their arms through Hefty bags.

The doors along the hall were uniformly glass, sleek and modern, some frosted. According to the building layout Caitlin had studied, Communications Technology Providers occupied a pair of adjoining office suites adding up to nearly five thousand square feet in total. One was a corner office, meaning at least a portion of those suites would enjoy wraparound windows and plenty of natural light.

Caitlin had just reflexively shoved her jacket back behind the holster housing her SIG Sauer P-226 nine-millimeter pistol, when the glass double-door entrance to Communications Technology Providers ruptured behind a fusillade of gunfire.

ABOUT THE BOOK

On a remote Scottish island, American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton wrestles with her own past while sleuthing a brutal killing, staged to recreate a two-hundred-year-old unsolved murder.

Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the novel—and the only clue to the killer’s identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history—and Kate’s future.

IFs ANDs OR WHATs INTERVIEW WITH CONNIE BERRY

IFs

IF you could talk to someone living, who would it be and what would you ask them?
A living person I'd love to spend time with is Martin Edwards, author of The Golden Age of Murder: The Mystery of the Writers Who Invented the Modern Detective Story. We'd sit by the fire in overstuffed armchairs sipping fine red wine. I'd ask him to tell me stories about the Golden Agers, and I'd sit back and listen for hours and hours. After that we'd move on to The Detection Club (he was the eighth president) and The Murder Squad. Finally, I'd pick his brain about writing modern crime novels with substance and style. I believe I'll be seeing him at Bouchercon 2019 in Dallas this autumn. Hmm. Wonder if he has time.

IF you could talk to someone dead, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Only one? As a history fanatic, that's hard. But I think I'd choose Queen Elizabeth I. I'd ask her if she was in love with Robert Dudley and how she really felt about the execution of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots—but only if she was in a good mood.

IF you could step back into a moment or day in time, where would you go?
Stepping back in time has always been one of my fantasies. I'd choose May of 1797, and I'd wing my way to the village of Chawton in Hampshire, England. Dropping by the Austen house on Winchester Road, I'd inquire if Miss Jane had an inclination to stroll down to Chawton House, the residence of her brother, Edward Austen Knight. We'd chat about her upcoming novel, First Impressions, and I'd suggest she rename it Pride & Prejudice.

IF you could time travel for an infinite period of time, where would you go?
Medieval England. I'd witness the swan song of the Anglo Saxons, life in the rural villages, the construction of the great cathedrals, the rise of the cities, the signing of the Magna Carta. I would not love the sanitary conditions, however. Could I pop back to the 21st century for a bath every few days? And—oh, yes—I have to be home before the Black Plague strikes.

IF you could choose a fictional town to live in, what would it be and from what book?
St. Mary Mead from Agatha Christie's The Murder at the Vicarage and The Body in the Library. As Miss Marple said, "One does see so much evil in a village."

IF you could live anywhere in the world, where in the world would it be?
This will come as no surprise—an English village. I'm sure I was switched with an American baby at birth.

ANDs

5 favorite possessions:
•    My sweet Shih Tzu, Millie [see photo]
•    My Bible
•    Family Photographs
•    Four Norwegian egg cups that have been in my family since the 17th century [see photo]
And
•    My hiking boots that have taken me everywhere

5 things you never want to run out of:
This is a touchy question because products I like are routinely discontinued, forcing me to purchase them in bulk on ebay. For example, I own a lifetime supply of Rescue Pads, the tiny soap-filled scrubbers I can't live without, and at least a decade's worth of my favorite discontinued perfume, Essence by Narcisco Rodriquez. When they stopped making Cinnamon Tic Tacs (someone has a lot to answer for), I purchased every pack still in existence. I have one left, the last box of Cinnamon Tic Tacs in the universe [see photo]. Besides Rescue Pads and Essence, three more things I never want to run out of are coffee, Rosebud Salve, and red lipstick.

5 favorite foods:   
•    Cardamom bread with raisins (my Danish grandma made it every week)
•    Homemade chicken soup
•    White almond cake with buttercream frosting
•    Beef stew cooked in an Instant Pot
And
•    Pavlova with raspberries

5 favorite places you've been:
•    England
•    Norway
•    Austria
•    Israel
And
•    China   

5 favorite authors (writing now):
 •    Elly Griffiths (thought of her first because I'm currently reading The Stranger Diaries)
 •    Jodi Taylor (The Chronicles of St. Mary's series)
 •    Deborah Crombie
 •    Anthony Horowitz
And
 •    Robert Galbraith (J. K. Rowling)

WHATs

What's your all-time favorite movie?
Not quite a movie but the mini-series of Pride & Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. I watch it at least once a year.

What's your all-time favorite library?
The main library in my hometown growing up where I wandered the stacks and fell in love with P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. I thought I'd discovered authors no one else knew about. Ha!

What's your favorite beverage?
Coffee. No question.

What's one thing you never leave the house without?
Lipstick. Without it, I look seriously ill.

What is the wallpaper on your computer's desktop?
The village of Bibury in the Cotswolds [see photo].


What's your all-time favorite picture of yourself?
A photo of me with my father—best dad ever. [see photo]



What's your latest recommendation for:
Food: A ketogenic lifestyle.

Music: "Anything" by Brook Benton or Sam Cooke. And lately I've been mesmerized by the piano playing of Jerry Lee Lewis in his country phase (I know, I know—don't judge me).

Movie: Mary Poppins Returns (I can't do intense movies in a theater).

Book: The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths.

Audiobook: The Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz.

TV: Two relatively unknown series from England, Wild At Heart (set in South Africa) and The Royal (set in Yorkshire in the 1960s).

Netflix/Amazon Prime: The Five by Harlan Coban (chilling).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Connie Berry was born in Wisconsin to second-generation immigrants from Scandinavia and the British Isles. Like her protagonist, she was raised by charmingly eccentric antique collectors who eventually opened a shop, not because they wanted to sell antiques but because they needed a plausible excuse to keep buying them. Besides reading and writing mysteries, Connie loves cute animals, foreign travel with a hint of adventure, and all things British. She's the mother of two grown sons and lives in Ohio with her husband and adorable dog, Millie. Her second book, A Legacy of Murder, will be out in October of 2019.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR  


Born and raised in Central Virginia, there was almost no chance Sierra Terry could have grown up NOT being creative. Her mother was and still is, highly creative with her drawings and poetry and she always encouraged Sierra to pursue her work even if she didn’t always like the subject matter!

Sierra realized pretty young she loved to draw and read and despite all the encouragement she had, she somewhat put her creativity on the back burner until a few years ago. No job ever interested her like art and storytelling did, so in her mid-20s she started her comic again and worked on it like a second job! Since then she has finished drawing the comic, wrote 5 fantasy novels and more recently put all her works under the business name Sailorfrill Studio as well as started selling at anime, book or comic conventions.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Agatha Award–winning author of Wreath Between the Lines returns to the Cookbook Nook, where culinary mysteries are giving everyone food for thought . . .

Book clubs from all over have descended on Crystal Cove to celebrate the library’s Book Club Bonanza week, and Jenna Hart has packed the Cookbook Nook with juicy reads and tasty cookbooks. But she’s most excited about spending an evening with the Mystery Mavens and their moveable feast, when they will go from house to house to share different culinary treats and discuss the whodunit they’re all reading. It’s all good food and fun for the savvy armchair detectives, until one of the members of the group is found murdered at the last stop on the tour.

As if that weren’t enough to spoil her appetite, Jenna discovers that all the evidence points to her friend Pepper as being the guilty party. And with Pepper’s chief-of-police daughter too close to the case to be impartial, Jenna knows she’ll have to step in to help clear her friend’s name before a bitter injustice sends her to jail. Sifting through the clues, Jenna unearths any number of possible culprits, but she’ll have to cook up a new way to catch the killer before Pepper’s goose is cooked.

Includes tasty sweet and savory recipes!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Kelly Jackson, manager of the Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast, is fond of the Doblinsky brothers, Ivan and Rudy, members of the Silver Sentinels, a crew of crime-solving senior citizens in their Northern California seaside hamlet. After she discovers a jewel-encrusted dagger—with what appears to be dried blood on the blade—on their fishing boat, they share their family history with Kelly, and she learns that the knife may be part of a set from their long-ago childhood in Russia. Its sudden reappearance is eerie, but the mystery grows much more serious when a body is found on the boat. The victim was a member of the community and part of the Russian Heritage Festival, and some of the organizers were clearly harboring some bitterness. But the story behind this murder seems as layered as a nesting doll—and Kelly’s feeling completely at sea . . .

Things you love about writing: I love the creative flow of ideas.
Things you hate about writing: I don’t hate anything about the actual writing process. I dislike the pressure of a deadline if I’ve gotten behind on my writing goals. One year I was sick for over eight weeks. When I recovered, I had to work hard to have the book ready when it was due.


Easiest thing about being a writer: I enjoy being with my characters in Redwood Cove.
Hardest thing about being a writer: The hardest thing is blocking out the time.

Things you love about where you live: I love the access I have to wonderful trails and parks for hiking.

People you consider as heroes: People who go out of their way to help others.

People with a big L on their foreheads: Someone who puts other people down.

Something you chickened out from doing:  I was snorkeling with a group in Mexico. We had been taken a distance off shore by boat. The guides asked us if we wanted to swim back to the beach.

The last thing you did for the first time: Taking a trip to Africa.

Something you’ll never do again: Drive a rental car in a bad part of town (I took a wrong turn!)

What does it take to stand out from the crowd? How do you build a brand people notice, connect with, and trust? What does it really take to get (and keep) a constant flow of incoming and loyal customers and opportunities?



In Craved, Keli Hammond walks you through the ins and outs of building a brand that is not only noticed, but sought-after and profitable.

IFs ANDs OR WHATs INTERVIEW WITH KELI HAMMOND

Ifs


If you could talk to someone (living), who would it be and what would you ask them?
Actress (and producer) Viola Davis, hands-down. She is a triple-threat, being the first black actor to win an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award. Her commitment to her own personal excellence is so inspiring. Plus I just love her on How to Get Away With Murder. If I could ask one her one thing, I would want to know how she balances her drive to excel with her personal life and well-being. How does she juggle the two?

If you could talk to someone (dead), who would it be and what would you ask them?
I'd have to say, Nelson Mandela. Having lived through apartheid and 18 years in prison, then going on to become the president of South Africa in his 70s, I mean WOW. That would be a conversation for the record books. I would ask him how it felt to be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize.

If you could live in any time period which would it be?
I’d have to go with New York City In the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance. I'd love to be around greats like Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes, Louis Armstrong, and Zora Neal Hurston, just to feel their magnetic energy. I can only imagine the inspiration, not to mention the nightlife. I'd be first In line at the Savoy Ballroom on Lenox Avenue.

If you could be anything besides a writer, what would it be?
I would probably be a United Nations Women's Cultural Ambassador or something like that. Someone that travels the world visiting, talking to, and learning about other cultures and teaching women of all ages and cultures how to achieve their personal goals and become leaders in their own right.

If you had to do community service (or already do volunteer work), what would you choose?
I love to work with young ladies, both teenagers and college grads from urban or underserved communities. A lot of times they get so caught up in their surroundings and daily struggles that they don’t believe their dreams are possible. I believe that these women need strong mentors to help them navigate the world and trust in their contributions to society.

If you could meet any author for coffee, who would you like to meet and what would you talk about?
Gary Vee (Gary Vaynerchuk)! I just want to pick his brain and soak up all of his infectious energy. I love how blunt and outspoken he is; his ways (and thoughts) remind me so much of my own.


If you could live anywhere in the world, where in the world would it be?

I would have to say Paris, France. Love, love, love that city. As cliché as it may sound, Paris is top of the list. The multitude of things to see and do coupled with the diversity makes it such a pleasant city to be in. Every time I'm there I find that I'm so relaxed. Simple things like coffee and croissants are so enjoyable.

Whats

What’s your all-time favorite place?

What’s your favorite song?
"We All Try" by Frank Ocean.

What’s your favorite vacation spot?
Jamaica…because it's a whole lot of reggae, rum punch, and relaxation. Oh, and can’t forget about the jerk chicken and coco bread.

What’s your favorite thing to do?
I love to be outside. I find fresh air exhilarating. Just to be outside on a beautiful spring or fall day reinvigorates me, and I love both city sights and outdoor hiking equally.

What’s your favorite dessert?
Love, love, love me some tiramisu (only the cake though, not the pudding).

What’s your favorite beverage?
Any smoothie that includes açaí. I became familiar with açaí when I traveled to Brazil in 2010, and ever since then, I've been obsessed.

What’s your favorite quote?
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” by Henry Ford.

What’s your favorite movie snack?
I always go for the raisinets, which is funny to me because I don't like raisins (like at all). LOL. But if I'm at the movies, I never pass up a box of raisinets. It's the strangest thing.

What’s your favorite social media site? Would you rather tweet or post on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest . . .?
Instagram, hands-down. I love the connection that you're able to build with people through that specific social networking site. I've met some really fun and awesome folks through IG.


What’s one thing you never leave the house without?
Lip balm. I'm literally obsessed with keeping my lips moisturized. It's bad. HaHa.

What movie genre do you prefer: drama, comedy, action, adventure, thriller, or horror?
I love all things action/suspense, those keep you on the edge of your seat kind of movies. Think Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Kill Bill.

What do you collect?
Shot glasses and magnets from my travels around the world. They are a great way to remember the places I've been and the people I've met along the way.

What book are you currently working on?
I'm currently working on my second book, which is a mixture of a memoir/self-help/how-to book aimed at helping give people the courage to pursue their passion (despite setbacks) in order to live a more fulfilled life. In that book, I share personal stories and situations to show people how you can rebound from anything and transform yourself into whomever you seek to become.


All-time favorites with pictures:

What’s your all-time favorite picture of yourself?
Me in the red suit. It's colorful and vibrant (which is the way I feel about my personality.

•    Music: Sabrina Claudio, every single song
•    Movie: I'm always behind on movies, so I'll just share one of my go-tos. I love 80's and 90's movies. Beverly Hills Cop.

•    TV: I'm still obsessed with The Walking Dead.
