Here's Barbara!

 

1)      What was the inspiration for this book? I was at the beach one day, watching people, and mulling over what I could write about, and wondered if there was anyone who ever found a body there. (Suspense writers often have this muse, trust me.) My husband had recently returned from Bosnia. Though he was fine, I thought of those who had both physical and emotional scars. The story just blossomed from there.

2)      What's next for you? Right now, I am polishing off an espionage/romantic suspense story, one with no faith elements, but set in South America.

3)      When you're procrastinating, what do you do? I check my email, Twitter, Facebook, my sales, anything that can keep me at the computer, but not working.

4)      How many books in your TBR pile? Oh, I don't want to even think about that!  I probably have about 30 books waiting to be read, but most are on my Kindle, which allows me to read faster than a paper book.

5)      What's your biggest guilty pleasure? This is a dangerous question!  It's somewhere between wasting time surfing the internet, to reading a really good Medieval novel with a bit of spice. I don't write anything spicy. I'm not very good at that, but I don't mind reading it. It's part and parcel of the human experience.

6)      Name 3 of your favorite things. Well, shortbread, my family, and writing, are all very enjoyable to me.

7)      Where can readers find you? The best place to connect with me is either at my blog, http://barbphinney.blogspot.com/ or on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... or Twitter @BarbaraPhinney My website is static and I'm waiting until I get some more books independently published, in order to get it updated.
