Jane Night asked Alex Erickson:

Hi Alex. I was wondering what got you into writing mysteries. Were you a big mystery reader and decided to write one or was there some influence from other aspects of your life. Also, your POV character was female. Did you find that difficult and what steps did you take to get into a woman's mind so you could write Krissy?

Alex Erickson Hi Jane! The easy answer would be that I got into writing mysteries because I was asked to. Cozies were new to me, but I had read a lot of the more . . . thriller-like mysteries? Once I was committed, the idea popped into my head with varying levels of success in making it a reality. I didn't really find it too hard to write in the female POV, and I'm sure I made a misstep or ten throughout, but think I did a pretty good job. I don't think like ME when I write. It feels more like the character is speaking in my head and my job is to transcribe it accurately, which doesn't always work. Hopefully, I will get even better as the series goes along!
