Shirley asked Charlaine Harris:

How did you get your first, Aurora Teagarden novel idea?

Charlaine Harris My first novel was a standalone, SWEET AND DEADLY. I knew I wanted to write a mystery (that was my favorite reading) and I began to think about motives for murder. I thought of one I thought was really good and I began to think about the kind of young woman who would be motivated to solve this crime. It all began to roll out in my mind.
