FAQs ABOUT THE WITNESS SERIES

Is Josie based on a real person?

Yep. She’s a volleyball-playing judge who sat on the Los Angeles Superior Court.

How about Hannah?

Hannah is a compilation of  young girls I met while volunteering in my son’s high school.

And Archer?

He’s my real life hero, my husband of 38 years. A man of few words, exceptional intelligence and supreme patience.

Why Did You Pick Hermosa Beach as the Location?

Josie had to live in Hermosa because it is a beach volleyball haven.  This is where I would live if I could. Beautiful beach, fun restaurants, very laid back.

 

Is the Mermaid a Real Place?

You bet. One of the first books groups I spoke to about Hostile Witness held their meeting there. We had a ball! The Witness Series was born in Hermosa Beach – a beautiful community about five miles from my home. I often walk there, watch the volleyball players and sometimes stop for a burger or a beer at the iconic Mermaid Restaurant. What a great place for a book club meeting. You could almost swear Josie and Linda were still there sitting in a booth!
