Q&A

You have a lot of lighthouses. Why do you love them?

Lighthouses are an inspiration. A beacon of light in the dark. They stand firm in the storm and provide hope and guidance. The state this world is in, we could all use more lighthouses. Whether writing or editing, my prayer would be that these stories shine a light for readers.

What are your favorite genres?

Whether I’m reading, writing, or editing my favorite genres are mystery, suspense, thrillers, and romance. While I’m not limited to these, I definitely gravitate toward them.

How did you get into mysteries and thrillers?

I attribute this to the Boxcar Children. My mom introduced me to them when I was in sixth grade, while we were in the U.S. visiting my grandparents. I was hooked. I returned again and again to the library, reading as many as I could until we returned to Spain. It snowballed from there. A few years later, I discovered the cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! In my teens, I picked up my first Mary Higgins Clark novel, and much like I did with the Boxcar Children, proceed to read as many as I could find at the library. As an adult, I discovered Lisa Gardner’s novels. The stories and content have grown in intensity, but suspense and unraveling a mystery has always called to me.
