Good Morning Price, Thank you for being here today with us.
Tell us about yourself.
I don't know where to start! I'm a southern girl in my twenties. I enjoy writing and traveling. I've always raised, ridden, and worked around horses and so a southern based mystery featuring horses was right up my alley.
How did you come up with this book and the hero/heroine?
I was recovering after a horseback riding injury and it just came to me. I found myself "visiting" the community along with Jinx and I pictured it as a spooky place. The mystery continued to grow and develop as time went on.
What are you working on Next?
I'm working on two projects right now. I want to write a sequel to my first book, A Vision of Murder, and I'm writing a dystopian trilogy
.
.
What was the easiest and hardest thing to write about this book?
The easiest part was describing the community, characters, and riding scenes. The hardest part was definitely the death of one (or more!) of the characters.
Who or what inspired you to write?
I would have to say that my parents inspired me. I also read a lot over the years and that is always inspiring.
If you could have dinner with two characters from any novel who would they be and why?
Merry and Pippin from The Lord of the Rings. I just loved them in the books and they seem like my kind of people!
