Do you get emotional
Interview with Author Quiz:
Do you ever feel yourself becoming quite emotional when writing a particularly intense scene and is there a specific passage in particular where this was the case?
Yes. I often get emotional when writing certain scenes. In Captured Lies, the scene where Bailey is standing at the gravesite of her mom while the minister is doing the service, was very emotional for me. Bailey is berating herself for the poor relationship she had with her mother and questions why she didn't do something to fix their relationship before it was too late. Too often we live with regrets. This was more emotional for me as my father passed away while I was writing Captured Lies.
Where did the inspiration for your first/latest* novel, Captured Lies, come from?
It was as simple as driving down the road and having a plane fly overhead at a really low height (or so it seemed to me) and I began to wonder, what if it crashed? Would anyone survive? What if it was a baby that survived? What would happen to the baby? What if this happened years ago, when babies weren't included on the manifest? What if the baby had been kidnapped? The story built from there.
