Joan Swan Has a Fever…and a giveaway.

It's time for some guest author fun! Today, debut Brava author Joan Swan is here to chat with us–Joan is an absolute sweetheart of a lady! Her book, FEVER, is on shelves now. I was so excited to meet her at the RWA Conference in D.C. a few years back. Joan, thanks so much for coming by!

During the construction of every novel, I learn the most amazing things.  Trivia mostly, but still…entertaining to say the least.

Here are some fun things I learned while writing FEVER:

Glocks don't have safeties
Human antibiotics are also used to treat fish…yes, the little ones you keep in a fish tank at home.
A breakfast feast can be created entirely out of frozen and dried food products.
The various methods of stitching human skin.
Upholstery needles are the best alternative to medical supplies for stitching skin.
How to hot wire a car.
All paranormal abilities related to heat, fire and healing.
Aryan Brotherhood insignia.
Racial slang I could have lived my entire life not knowing.
How autopsy reports are phrased.
The details of Nicole Brown Simpson's and Ron Goldman's deaths via their autopsy reports.
How court appointed attorneys are assigned.
Geography of Oregon, Washington and Canada.
Radius of propane gas that is flammable.
What type of spark is necessary to set a propane leak on fire.

What is something memorable you've learned while reading (or writing) a book?

One lucky commenter will win a copy of FEVER!
