(view spoiler)[Hi Richard!
I learned about Flood Girls at the Simon & Schuster book buzz at the ALA Midwinter Meeting a few weeks ago -- so glad they shared!!
I have to know when in the writing process you knew how Jake's story would end? And why that way? It was so heartbreaking, but that funeral scene was the best I've ever imagined. We should all be sent out that way!
And, working on anything new? Thanks! (hide spoiler)]

SPOILER ALERT! Great question, however! The funeral was the very first scene I imagined, and I wrote the entire novel trying to figure out why these rural women were in mourning in such high fashion! I had no idea how I was going to get there, but it was a magical journey! I'm always working on new things--currently a book about supermodels and drag queens in 1990s NYC, and dabbling in more Flood Girls! Thanks for the question!

lol, I love your "Howdy! . . ." Introduction. I'm looking forward to reading your book as I live in Bozeman and was a home-sitter for a home just west of Libby for a summer a long-time ago. I do hope that not all of the characters are Montana cow-huggers but include a few tree-huggers as well? :) No marriage proposals are attached but all friend requests will be seriously considered, lol.

I just finished reading the Flood Girls. The book really grew on me as I read it and Jake was my favorite character. (I loved all the characters) I can't believe you killed him off and the book ended with no justice or vindication for him! It seems like the first in the series. Are you going to continue the story and make Burt pay for what he did?
