A.R. Simmons asked Amber Foxx:

Amber, do you read other books within your genre while you are writing?

Amber Foxx I do (along with nonfiction and literary fiction). My books are so far off the beaten track in my genre, I almost feel as though I'm reading in a different genre when I read other mysteries. They don't influence my writing except for making me notice technical things that can help me. I observe how well certain authors handle transitions between scenes, or how awkwardly obvious some of their plotting can be. More often, I notice the good things.
