How did you get started writing?

Thanks for joining the chat with Andrea Cremer! Our winner this month is Cali! Don't forget to join the chat next month for another chance to win!

I was thinking about those last few questions. Are you a gardener by chance? There is a lot of flower/garden imagery in your books. I use a lot of that myself. I love flower gardens. Horrible at actually growing things but I love them.

If you could visit any historical site you haven't been to yet, where would you go?

What's your favorite bookstore?

I used to always write to music, but health issues in recent years (also the reason I haven't published a book in two years) have heightened my sens..."

I need quiet too. This past year we've been building a house so we are in a crappy rental so I ventured out for the first time ever. My favorite spot? A grocery store. Who knew? It's a gorgeous store though with a second floor you can look out over the lovely produce section. It's a good place to look for interesting characters.

I wish I could take a class from you! I love your history! It's my favorite part of your books. Do you still teach at all? You should do history workshops at writing conventions.
