Sorry I missed this until now, Clare! I'm a professional artist specializing in horses, so I use my own work. :-) You can see more at www.lindashantz.com Thanks for asking!

Music! The right music gets me in the headspace I need to be in. I associate certain songs/bands with specific characters. That said, I can't play music and write! So once I actually start writing, I turn the music off.

Currently, I'm working on the sequel to Good Things Come, set for release in the spring of 2021. It's a continuation of the story.

When I was a young, horse-crazy girl, I always wondered why there were no novels on the Queen's Plate, when there were numerous ones about the Kentucky Derby. After all, the Plate is the longest continuously-run sporting event in North America, and has such an interesting history. Eight-year-old me decided to right that wrong, and a much older me, after having actually worked at the racetrack, rewrote the story into something more grown-up – which became my debut novel, Good Things Come.
As a side note, there is another novel which also revolves around the Plate, called Noble Madness. I read it several times!
